PAGE EIGHT UNITED TREATER, 206 E. Center "LAST TIME TONITE" THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-MASTER DON'T MISS IT WEDNESDAY NIGHT MERCHANTS NIGHT JANE EYRE WITH MABLE BALLIN AND NORMAN TREVOR 7 P.M. — COME EARLY — 9 P.M. HOOSIER FILM TO LEAVE UNITED "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," the screen version of Edward Engleston's famous novel, will be shown at the United theatre for the last time tonight. The story is laid in the Flat Creek District of Indiana ten years before the Civil War and gives a faithful and thrilling picture of the time. The Indiana Club of New York, which was given a preview of the picture, declared that they wished there might be other pictures as good, depicting the early history of Indiana. It is the love story of Ralph Hartsock, the schoolmaster and Hannah Thompson, the "bound-girl." Henry Hull, favorite of both stage and screen, and Jane Thomas, recently seen in "The Town That Forgot God" and "The Exciters," have the leading roles. A renowned cast of character actors has been chosen in their support. It includes Nat Pendleton, world's amateur champion heavyweight wrestler, Mary Foy, Walter Palm, Frank Dane, Dorothy Allen, O. W. Hall, George Pelzer, Arthur Ludwig, Frank Andrews, Harold McArthur, Tom Brown, Adolf Link, Jerry Sinclair, Dorothy Walters and Dick Lee. "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" has the future for Evers as everyone else on the club is a giants in usual mood to win raids. By NICK FLATLEY (I. N. S. Special Correspondent SARAZOTA, Fla., March 25.) The champion New York Giants are in the usual championship mood this spring and even at the early date are meditating revenge on the Yankees in the next world series. The basis for said meditation rests in the fact that two of the new pitchers have displayed their markable early form. Wayland Dean, the million dollar baby from Louisville and Ernie Maun, a big boy from Wichita, Kan., are the pair pitching Moses who are expected to lead the Giants back to glory. Dean was one of the high-priced stars of the winter trading season. He is a rangy chap and has ever thing a pitcher needs in the curly line. He has been chuckling loud enough and has not any of the earmarks of the novice. Dee gave a lot of bases on balls last year and will find the clubs wait him out on that account. Maun slightly less advertised, is big and strong with a fast curve. Howard Baldwin from Kansas another chucker with more than a fifty-fifty chance to remain with the club. He has shown some fine pitching. These three sharpshooters, with Joe Oeschger, came from the Braves, are the only strangers who will figure on the pitching staff McQuillan, in great spring form Watson, Nehf, Bentley and Hyatt as well as Virgil Barnes, all seem sure of summer jobs. Bentley, an in-and-outter 1923, has been worked hard this spring and is in fine physical trim and has been throwing baseball past a lot of good hitters. The addition of Bill Southworth late Brave, has strengthened the Giant outfield. Bill is a great fielder and a fine hitter, much superior to Casey Stengel, as long as a weak knee holds up. The club has also acquired useful utility gardener in the position of Han Wilson from the Vikings in usual mood to win raids. "The Man From Brodneys" to United One of the best picture productions of the past year, "The Man From Brodney's," will make its appearance in Anaheim Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, March 30, 21 and April 1, at The United theatre. "The Man From Brodney's" is taken from the story of George Barr McCutcheon and has a special selected cast, consisting of J. Warren Kerrigan, Alice Eathoun, Wanda Hawley, Miss DuPont, Pat O'Mally, Kathleen Key. And Bartram Grassby, and many others. Manager Anderson announces that this picture will be shown at the regular prices of children 10 cents; adults, 25 and 25 cents. The Los Angeles critics claim J. Warren Kerrigan does his very best acting in this, "The Man From Brodney's." COUNTRY MAIDS BEST IN ATHLETICS SACRAMENTO, March 25—Girl students in rural schools far surpass the athletic records of their urban sisters, according to Dr. Herbert R. Stolz, state supervisor of physical education, in his annual report. Athletic proficiency in sports during the last few years has been particularly marked among girl students generally, said the director. Within two years girl athletes have bottered jumping and running records by more than 10 per cent. During the past five years, the increase of high school students participating in competitive athletics is more than 20 per cent. Football in particular is gaining popularity, according to Dr. Stolz, more than 50 high schools having recently adopted the game. TRY A CLASSIFIED AD FOREIGN But the club authorities have it that he will show up eventually Meantime, peppery Johnny Evers is doing the directing, a manager without the official title. Johnny it might be said, is in better health than he has been for years and is getting along very well with the boys. He might succeed this time if given the chance. But the future for Evers as everyone else on the club is a mystery right now. Nobody knows and nobody seems to care, as the song has it. Two regular outfielders, Harry Hooper, and Johnny Mostil, are holdouts. According to players' gossip, both were offered greatly reduced contracts and have decided to retire. Hapenny, a very good utility infielder, has also resigned for reasons supposed to be similar. With the reception of a young pitcher and a couple of catchers, the club is exactly the same outfit that finished the season of 1923 and that outfit doesn't strike any particular fear in the hearts of the other managers. WOULDN'T MISS FIGHT, NO SIREE NEW YORK, March 25.—Before boarding a transcontinental train today for California, where he will sign a so-called million dollar contract for picture work with haste, satisfaction and a fountain pen, Jack Kearns assured one and all that nothing would be permitted to interfere with Jack Dempsey's appearance in defense of his title during the outdoor season. The statement was calculated to refute inundos that art for art's sake would keep the champion out of the ring this year. Nothing could be further from the truth according to Kearns. He added that the picture contract would preclude Dempsey's appearance in the ring from April to September, this being one of its specific terms. "We are really forced into picture work by the non-activity of Jack's opponents." Kearns said. Jack cut short a profitable tour of the south to return here in case he was wanted. Yet we have received no definite offers. Firpo has eliminated himself, if reports about his retirement are true. Willis and Gibbons are doing nothing to create a public demand for matches with Dempsey. I can't see why either of them would not be satisfied to enter an elimination tournament with the dence out that way is that he has no intention of coming back to baseball.

Johnny it might be said, is in better health than he was a year ago. The loss of Dave Baneroft cannot but hurt the infield. The don't manufacture shortstop like Dave more than once or twice in a generation. Travis Jackson is a good shortstop for almost any ball clutch He's speedy and sure in the field and hitting the onion merrill Heinie Groh will have to stay slipping some time but he did better this spring than he did 1923. Some real competition from Lindstrom, a Toledo development, has little fellow on the jumper. Manager McGraw has also pretty good first baseman linger ing around to keep George Kelly on edge. Bill Terry, also from Toledo, a converted pitcher, also can play the bag and is a wick hitter. He will be kept as a utility man anyhow. Eddie Alnsmith, who couldn't get along with Branch Rickey o fthe Cardinals, has been attached to the catching department and will help a lot, as neither Snyer or Gowdy are as young as they use to be. The Giants could use a young fast catcher. L.B.BOYDASHES 220 IN 23 FLAT SAN DIEGO.

"Wills and Gibbons are doing nothing to create a public demand for matches with Dempsy. I can't see why either of them would not be satisfied to enter an elimination tournament with the winner to meet the champion. Take the case of Wills. If he survived the tournament, public demand would dissipate much of the prejudice against an attempt by him to win the heavyweight title. "This million dollar picture offer is legitimate. It came to me in a telegram from Carl Laemmle and I have every assurance that it is bona fide. It will keep the champion out of the ring until late summer but after that he will be ready for the best men in right. It is up to Gibbons, Wills and Firpo to take advantage of the situation and prove which is the logical contender." SAN DIEGO, March 25. — "Of course I wish to stage a world's championship fight at Tia Juana. When in New York I tried last fall to sign up Dempsy and Wills, but several things prevents the two Jacks from accepting the terms I offered." James W. Coffroth today commented in the above words on the Interview published yesterday in New York in which Jack Kearns, manager of the heavyweight champion, was quoted as saying Dempsy would engage in moving picture ventures and no fights this year, and that his next battle will be promoted at Tia Juana by "Sunny Jim" Coffroth probably on New Year's Day. "There has been no contract signed," Coffroth continued. "But Kearns has several times told me that he and Dempsy are ready to fight for me almost any time, provided the show can be staged properly at my racing plant. I hope to sign them up." Thaw May Postpone Olympic Ice Games," says a headline. First time we knew that Harry was interested in the coming meet.

DECLARES DEMPSY DEMAND "HOLDUP" SAN DIEGO, March 25. — The suit of Jack Dempsy to recover $2356 as salary unpaid for services before the footlights, is "holdup proposition, principally for the purpose of obtaining publicity." Alexander Pantages, theatre magnate, against whom the suit was filed, sald here today. Pantages said the contract effect made Dempsy and Kearns partners with Pantages, the fighters and his manager to receive $4000 a week and a percentage above a stipulated box office profit at each stand. The vaudeville circuit took rightful credit for a $12,000 robbery at Kansas City, Pantages said it is over the Kansas City payment that the contest is being waged.

One of the most interesting of these legends is concerned with the monarach Prudentius. Notre Dame stands on the site of the oldest basilica of the capital, constructed even before the Cathedral of Saint Etienne Martyr, which was long considered to be the most ancient. Excavations made under the present Cathedral and on the Place de Parvla Notre Dame, especially those of 1847, confirmed this fact. The original edifice consecrated to Notre Dame was built by Prudentius, and was a basilica with out a transept, the roof being sustained by columns of marble and pavements decorated with mosaics. At the end of the sixth century, the both churches were standing, so near each other that they almost touched. The basilica of Sainte Pierre and Saint Paul, built by Clovia, was on the summit of the hill on the slopes of which stood the Palais des Thermes. The legend relates that Prudentius, having selected the site, measured the ground to be devoted to the church by hurling his francisque, or double-headed battle axe, to the utmost point his strength permitted. He did not live to see it completed, but the work was finished by his widow, Clotilda. It was Maurice de Saully, Bishop of Paris, who in 1163 demolished the ancient bascilia and laid the first stone of the present structure. Pope Alexander III presided at the ceremony.
