Knocked Out Once

In his entire career Hart was knocked out only once and that happened when Billy Hanrahan landed first round haymaker in fight at Milwaukee in 1901. Han rahan's record before and after that bout was not impressive and Hart was generally believed when he said the knockout was an ac- cident.
 The Kentuckian won his way to the front rank of heavyweight con- tenders when he took a decision over Jack Johnson after 20 rounds at San Francisco on March 28, 1905. Johnson was three inches taller than Hart and he told his friends afterwards that the little fellow Hart gave me the. toughest fight of my life"
 About three months later Hart was facing Root at Reno. The crowd numbered only about 6,000 but it was an enthusiastic bunch of fight fans and it gave Hart a big hand when he put over the fin- ishing punch in the twelfth. When the victor entrained for home that

Princess and Plumber '' Comes at AM Fast
 and Loose Tomorrow

After the regular showings of ''The Spoilers" at the Coliseum theatre tonight, a preview per- formance will be given of The Princess and the Plumber" at am. Tomorrow, at afternoon mati- nee and evening performances, the featured attraction will be Fast and Loose"
 "The Spoilers" based on Rex Beach's novel of the same name, portrays Nome in the heyday of it's glory 30 years ago Working from photographs and from knowledge possessed by technical directors who were in Nome at the time, Paramount has reconstructed the famous camp in faithful detail. Gary Cooper is featured in the film production, which Edward Ca- rewe directed. M Unusually Able Cast
 An unusually able cast appears in support of Cooper. Included are Kay Johnson, Betty Compson, James K wood, Harry Green, f'Slim" Summerville and Lloyd Ing raham. In addition there are more than 800 "sourdough" types.
 The Prince and the Plumber features Charles Farrell. Time was when only prince could marry princess, but in these modern days almost anything can happen. This is especially true in Daritzia, little Balkan principality, whose lonely princess is Maureen O'Sul- livan. The arrival of young Am erican engineer and the ensuing love affair makes the film highly entertaining, with plenty of com- edy and surprises occurring before the final fade out.
 H. B. Warner is also featured in the cast which includes Joseph Cawthorn, Lucien Prival, Louise Closer Hale, Murray Kinnell and Bert Roach. Alexander Korda di- rected
 Fast and Loose"
 "Fast and Loose" is altogether, a smart, sophisticated comedy drama of young people, young ideas, and young indiscretions. Its action clicks with a one, two, three precision that keeps the interest tense. The cast is comprised of Miriam Hop- kins, Carole Lombard, Frank Mor- gan Charles Starrett, Henry Wads- worth, Winnifred Harris, Herbert Yost, David Hutcheson, Ilka Chase and Herschel Mayall.

 Hart was born Sept. 16, 1876, in a farming community near rem Creek, Ky. His parents were of German stock. He attended the grade schools in Louisville and then learned the plumbing trade.
 His ability as a fighter was fre- quently shown in school days but 1t was something of an accident that made prizefighter out of the young plumber. his interest in the game was aroused when he acted as second to Louisville youth who engaged in grudge fight with another young man.
 Shortly af wards Hart was elected to fight Big Bill'' Schiller, local celebrity in Louisville whom none of the other ring aspirants of the city would tackle. They were matched for a finish and Hart cut down Big Bill' with a Knockout in the sixth Hart was 2l then and immediately became a hero in Louisville fight circles.

sCrddIe of Confederacy''
 Fit Setting for Last Big
 Reunion, sThin Gray Line

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 25.- The remnant of a gallant army that once followed Lee and Jack son, the United Confederate Vet erans, will gather here in the Cra- dle of the Confectionery in June for their last reunion.
 Only a handful, in comparison with the 100000 men who wore the gray of the south in the sixties, re- main. Of these, only 4,000 are ex- pected to answer the muster, June 2 to 5.
 This is the first time in the 41 years veterans of the Confederate army have been holding annual re- unions that they have come to this city so rich in traditions of the lost cause and where Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as president of the United States or the Confederacy
 A six pointed brass star, each point representing one of the first six states to secede, marks the spot on the capitol portico where Davis stood as William L. Yancey. south ern firebrand, administered the cath February IT, 1861
 It was from Montgomery that the order for the first gun to fire on Fort Sumter, s. C., was given.
 Here also Dan Emmett, young bandmaster, wrote the stirring southern battle song, Dixie which was played for the first time as a march at Davis inauguration.
 While the city has grown with the passing of years, the shrines sacred to the veterans have been preserved. Tn the first White House" of the Confederacy the larg- est collection of Davis relics in existence is on display
 The reunion, however, will nat be confined to sightseeing trips and "reminiscences, as the state of Ala bama has appropriated S50,000 to make this, announced as the last national gathering of the veterans, an enjoyable one for the heroes of the sixties and their wives
 Mrs. B. M. Miller, wife of Cover nor Miller, has been designated official hostess.
