But then, there was a reason for Ralph's falling in the spelling bee.

Ralph didn't deliberately misspell for he knew that a victory given would insult her but he did not want to win and was glad when he said "Da-au" and the Squire said "Next." The old spelling bee is one of the most amusing incidents in "The Hoosler Schoolmaster," the screen version of Edward Eggleton's American classic, which comes to the United theater for a 3-day run Snuday. Whitman Bennet has left no stone unturned to make the picture a faithful reproduction of the Hoosler Country in 1853. Henry Hull and Jane Thomas who play the leading roles, are both of Hoosler families and Tarkington Baker, the man who did the research work for the picture, was a member of the famous Tarkington family of Indiana, to whom Booth Tarkington belongs. Much care was taken in choosing the supporting cast, as each part required expert character work. Among the well-known players, appear Nat Pendleton, world's champion amateur heavyweight wrestler, Mary Foy, Walter Palm, O. W. Hall Frank Dane, Arthur Ludwig, Frank Andrews, Harold McRrthur, Dorothy Allen, Tommy Brown and others. BASEBALL Anaheim Merchants VS. California All-Stars COLORED PLAYERS OF LOS ANGELES 2:30 P.M. Sunday, March 23 AT A. H. S. FIELD DON'T FORGET THE BALL GAME GOLDSTEIN WINS BANTAM HONORS (By Davis J. Walsh) (L. N. S. Sporth Editor) NEW YORK, March 22.—A sound of flesh, duly exacted, made shylock an immortal, and last night at Madison Square Garden, it aided in transforming one Abe Goldstein from quite an ordinary young man to bantamweight champion of the world at large. Goldstein unfrooked Joe Lynch the reigning titleholder, winning the decision by a margin so wide as to be almost ludicrous. Lynch was only a pale, anaemic shadow of the champion that was, and could neither box nor hit, and had he a ball and chain on either foot, his speed could have been no less. He had left both strength and condition on the scales of the boxing commission headquarters that afternoon. That remark is neither alibi for Lynch nor depreciation of Goldstein. It is just a statement of fact. Contrary to his usual deportment, Abe Goldstein fought almost with effrontery last night, forcing matters from first to last. It was his greatest effort in five years of ring appearances and appropriately enough gained him the highest honors within the gift of his division. What might have happened had Lynch been able to make the bantamweight limit of 118 pounds with ease and facility is another story and has no place here. Suffice it to say that Lynch was a full pound overweight when, minus lunch, he got on the scales at 2 o'clock yesterday. Enter here with stealth and a bright idea Willie Lewis, who is not only the manager of Goldstein, but so smart in fistic sense as to be almost unpleasant about it. "I won't claim your forfeit, Joe," quoth William. "Come back on two hours and weigh again." The forfeit-amounted to $1250. It is barely possible that Mr. Lewis figured that further weight FLYWEIGHT CHAMP OUTPOINTS LEE SACRAMENTO, March 22.—Panche Villa of Manila, world's flyweight champion, last night, decisively outpointed George Lee, Chinese-American pugilist of Sacramento, in a four-round bout, repeating his success of two years ago in Manila when the two met in a 15-round contest. When Lee stepped on the scales it was found he was 14 pounds overweight. Villa was willing to accept the handicap but referee Fred Bottaro announced before the fight that it would be a no decision contest because of this decided advantage to the local man. The champion showed amazing speed in attack and his defense was well nigh impregnable. He frequently assumed a Jeffries crouch and from that position launched himself on his antagonist with volleys of lefts and rights that in the first round brot blood from the mouth of Lee. The succeeding rounds were repetitions of the first. Pete Sarmiento of Manila, another fighter of Frank Churchill's stable, faced Tommy O'Leary of Sacramento in a four round contest that was equally sided. Sarmiento, who was announced at the featherweight champion of the Orient, exhibited a marvelous physique and a hard hitting left. The Filipino outclassed the local man and the decision of the referee awarding the bout to Sarmiento was received with approval. DEMPSEY IN L. A. LOS ANGELES, March 22.—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, back in Los Angeles after a sojourn and operation in the east, declared today that all he had lent toward a match between Tommy Gibbons and Georges Carpentier was his moral support. He declared emphatically he was not interested in such a match financially. He declares he is fully recovered from the operation he underwent a few weeks ago. Conway Tearle's Performance "Ashes of Vengeance" Norma Talmadge and Conway Tearle in "Ashes of Vengeance." Upon the completion of "Ashes of Vengeance," magnificent historical romance starring Norma Talmadge, which M. Schenck announced the re-engagement of Conway Tearle, who played opposite Norma Talmadge in this production, this time to be featured opposite Schenck's comedy star Constance Talmage, in "The Dangerous Maid." Under his contract, Tearle will receive an even larger salary than that paid him for "Ashes of Vengeance," which salary was already greater than paid most big stars—for Conway Tearle, as is generally known, is the most highly SAN BRUNO "SPORT OF" SAN FRANCISCO For the third time lest "sport of kings" is a fling in California. The ponies will go foran, just out of San Bruno way. The barrier of the last fall at Tanforno inauguration of racniia for the first time: hectic days of Ec other famous tracks was a rather unusual at Culver City as the spring program Suffice it to say that Lynch was a full pound overweight when, minus lunch, he got on the scales at 2 o'clock yesterday. Enter here with stealth and a bright idea Willie Lewis, who is not only the manager of Goldstein, but so smart in fisticastic as to be almost unpleasant about it. "I won't claim your forfeit, Joe" quoth William. "Come back two hours and weigh again." The forfeit-amounted to $1250. It is barely possible that Mr. Lewis figured that further weight reduction by Lynch would be worth more to him, Lewis, than paltry, sordid dollars. Anyway Joe Lynch walked, ran, starved and was subjected to the weakening process of a dry rub in order to make weight. Just what this effort took away from the fighter, only Lynch himself can know. After the bout the former champion was quoted as saying that never again would he light in the bantamweight class. We don't know as we blame him. It may be that Lynch is thru anyhow. It may have been that he couldn't have beaten Goldstein last night in any case, for he could like a champion to the manner born. CUBS PLAY TIGERS LOS ANGELES, March 22—The Chicago Cubs and Vernon Tigers tangled again here today after the Cubs handed the Tigers an 8 to 7 defeat yesterday. Frank Keck will probably hurl for Vernon. The Cubs will play the Angels tomorrow in their last exhibition game against the Coast Leaguers here. A week from Monday they will play the Pittsburgh Pirates here. MUST CUT PILLS Frank Christian, Fullerton youth, must retrain from cigarettes and must establish a savings account of at least $20 a month, conditions made by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams when he granted probation on a charge of writing worthless checks. “If I sentence you to San Quentin to from one to fourteen years,” Judge Williams declared, “you would make about $3 a year in the jute mills. If you had not taken the criminal risk and had worked honestly, you would make $3.50 a day. The penitentiary sentence was passed, then suspended for three years, pending the youth's good behavior. “THE VAL-JEANS” AT UNITED THEATER The Val-Jeans, a well known vaudeville act direct from the Pantages eastern circuit, will be at the United Theater Sunday and Monday in an atmospheric prologue to the picture. DEMPSEY IN L. A. LOS ANGELES, March 22—Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, back in Los Angeles after a sojourn and operation in the east, declared today that all he had lent toward a match between Tommy Gibbons and Georges Carpentier was his moral support. He declared emphatically he was not interested in such a match financially. He declares he is fully recovered from the operation he underwent a few weeks ago. WINS NET TITLE CHESTNUT HILLS, Mass., March 22.—Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup of Wilmington, Del., won the national indoor women's singles tennis tournament today when she defeated Miss Lillian Scharman of Brooklyn, in the final match.

GARNER DIVIDEND DINNER HELD HERE Owing to the insistent demand of Orange-co., stockholders and friends, this month’s “Dividend Dinner” will be held at the Elk's Club at Anselm Tuesday evening. Under his contract, Tearle will receive an even larger salary than that paid him for “Ashs of Vengeance,” which salary was already greater than paid most big stars—for Conway Tearle, as is generally known, is the most highly paid of the screen's leading men. And with the increasing popularity of historical romance, his services are in greater demand, for he is looked upon as peerless in romance roles. In “Ashes of Vengeance” Tearle plays the role of Rupert de Vrije, a Huguenot, who binds himself to servitude to the Comte de la Roche in return for the life of his faithless sweetheart, and who is assigned to the service of Yoeland (Norma Talmadge), sister of the Comte. She makes his servitude hard, for her family and his had been at sword's point for many generations. His valor awakens an admiration which she seeks to stifle, and as incident builds upon incident, admiration turns to love, and Yoeland's resistance increases—the conflict of emotion providing the star greater opportunities than ever she has had. HENDRIX MAY GO ON STAND MONDAY SAN DIEGO, March 22—Fearing that the defense is planning to drag out the case so that the testimony of John Wendrix murderer condemned to hang at San Quentin April 11, may not be introduced, Dist. Atty. Kempley said today he may put Hendrix on the stand Monday instead of reserving the witness until the latter stages of the trial. Rendrix is reported to have told the grand jury that while in the county jail, E. Drew Clark charged with the murder of Geo Schick, wealthy realtor, became "chummy" and confessed to choking to death the man who so strangely dropped from sight more than a year ago. Unless Hendrix takes the stand, the state will put several neighbors on the stand to testify regarding strongne noises and occurrences at the Clark home on Mission Drive immediately following the disappearance of Schlek. There was no session of court today.
