LESLIE HOWARD STARS AT STRAND
Appears There in SOmer-
 set Maughan's "Of Hu= man Bondage"

Since the dawn of time, beau- tiful women have exercised strange powers over men, and even tho stories of mythology are colored by sirens who lured men to their de- struction.
 A poignant and strikingly hu- man treatment of this age-old theme is said to be given in RKO- Radios picturization of the famous novel by Somerset Vaughan. "Of Human Bondage" coming to Warmers Strand theater on Sum- day.
 Leslie Howard is starred in the film, playing the role of medical student who becomes enamored of an unworthy, but-to him-strik- ingly magnet woman.
 Bette Davis plays what she con- siders the strongest role of her career, that of the heartless girl who takes all and gives nothing but unhappiness. Kay Johnson and Frances Dee are other feminine figures in the pictures absorbing romantic pattern, and leading male supporting roles are played by Reginald Denny, Alan Hale, Regin- Shirley Grey, of Naugatuck, with Ralph Bellmay and distinguished

AMERICAN CUP
TEAM FAVORED

LONDON, July 26.-The United
States plays Great Britain for the
Davis Cup, highest trophy Of the
tennis world, on Saturday and
the wise men of the British
Isles, laying aside their tradi-
tional patriotic support Of their
countrymen, today are betting 3
to 2 that those surprising Yam
KEGS will be able to take the his
toric cup back to it's native land.
There is no gainsaying the
fact that the American Davis
cupperS created tremendous i'm
preston when they came from
behind to eliminate the strong
Australian team, 3 matches to 2.
You have to go away back indeed
to find a greater display of ten
mis- skill and courage than that
displayed by Sidney B. Wood, jr.
and Frank Shields in downing
Jack Crawford and Vivian Nc
Grath yesterday.
The Americans, in sporting
parlance, are hot" and there is
every reason to suspect they will
remain, that way through the
finals with the British.

BOLTON SPORTS
HIGH SEM|-PRO
HITTING AVG.

When Cliff Bolton struts out
on the field Saturday for the
first time this season as q full
fledged Griffmen, he'll carry with
him memories, clippings and
stories of the big batting aver
age he amassed while playing
semi.pro ball down in High Point,
N. c., his home town.
Naturally Cliff, who batted to
the tune of ATS down in Caro-
lima, will hope to continue his
success in a Griff uniform, which
business" looms highly probable
in view Of the lads past work
as a big league batter, the
records of which tell he whacked
at an average Of .410 during 1888.
That Bolton will catch in one
of the games of the double header
on tap against the Boston Red Sox
is almost surety. For Manager
Cronin, now that the Griffs are
far out of the fight for the 1884
pennant, has high aims to rebuild
the Griffmen, and his present
plans call for the employment Of
every bit of young talent he can
get his hands on.
Bolton agreed to 1894 contract
terms yesterday after series Of
messages with Clark Griffith,
president of the Washington Ball
Club. He had been a holdout all
season, first falling into that cate
CORY last spring, when he failed
to report to training camp, due to
a disagreement on terms.

well that's fine Judge. I've
got $4,000 coming to me. Those
dirty crooks never paid me-"
said Jackson.
Yes, sir, the baseball world
learned a lot in those hectic
days. It learned that through all
the chicanery and thievery Little
Dickie Kerr was honest. Now's
he's sick. Baseball should do
something for him in a big way,
for no matter what they do, 1t
won't be as big as the service
he did for baseball. The White
