RICKARD IS THRU WITH BIG PURSE NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—According to backstairs gossip, Tex Rico has washed his official hair of the big timers in pugilism many months to come and daily only with enterprises comparatively modest nature. It is alleged that Rickard tries to realize the profit expected him during the present season that an era of retrenchment is hand. Dempsey, Leonard, Mike Walker and other gentlemen the profession who think in terms of hundreds of thousands or not all are not likely to appear, said, in any bout promoted Rickard for some time. Rickard, however, does deny a report Dempsey and Mike Gibbons would meet at Madison Square Garden early this winter. Our Mr. Rickard never deceived anything that might start tongues in motion. The fact of the matter, he ever, is that he has no interest of matening Gibbons and Dempsey for an indoor show. He has a great plenty of that sort thing at the Dempsey-Brenn affair four years ago, the chapion getting a guarantee $100,000 and our Mr. Rick getting a severe pain in the left. Dempsey is still the young man who is alleged right for money. In addition, Rickard is said have lost $9,000 on the Flwilla enterprise, topping up season of none too painful times. The sap money is longer in circulation. That Rickard realizes this fact was indicated yesterwhen he declared against gentantes to fighters, a prairie barred by the Boxing Commission in the first place, but only winked at by all promoterbig and small. Fighters will have to gan A. H. S. VARSITY BATTLES ALUMNI Blood split! Dust bitten! Achea! Groans, of both kinds! These are only a few of the things that are going to happen this afternoon when the high school alumni and varsity hold their annual football fracas. "Matt" Betzold of the alumni today saw Coach A. E. Fitzmorris and told him what was going to happen to his green, soft crew. "Ititz" didn't deign to answer, except to say that the gridiron wouldn't be recognizable when his men got thru with the effete Betzoldians. Fitzmorris is going to give as many varsity candidates as possible a chance to taste the blood of the alumni, and doesn't intend to have any fixed lineup. The alumni to play will include Al Clayes, Elliott, Wilminson, Mann, Fergus, Mulvey, Brown, Betzold, Ingram, Wallace and Gregg. There is one extra man to allow for fatalities. Last year the result was a tie and in 1922 the alumni won. Tagging All Bases The Reds threw a monkeyrench into McGrow's machine by trimming the Glants 5 to 3 but the champions came back and won the second game 7 to 5 on Gowdy's single. Brooklyn socked the Cards twice 7 to 5 and 4 to 2 and crept up to within half a game of the Glants. Wheats' homer won the first game in the twelfth as Vance hung up his fifteenth straight victory. The Pirates passed up a chance to climb by losing to the Phillies 6 to 5 but stayed in the race by winning the nightcap in the ninth, 6 to 3. The Yanks and Senators maintained their dizzy pace, both winning and remaining tied for the lead. The champions nosed out the Browns in the tenth, 2 to 1, conquering Wingard, their southpaw linx, after it lit up in the ninth on Bush's first home run or the season. The Senators made it three straight over the Indians by a five run rally in the ninth. Score Washington 9, Cleveland 5. The Athletics made the Tigers look like circus pets by walloping them again 5 to 3, sweeping the three game series. The White Sox drew away front INSIST VILLAINS SMOKE CIGARETTES The public insists that its fiction and movie villains wear a black mustache and smoke cigarettes, according to Earl Schench who portrays the role of Rodolfo Emannon, the villain in the Film Booking Office's release, "Yankee Madness," now playing at the United Theater. "Black moustaches may have disappeared from the face of young America but the public insists that their fiction and movie coundrels should have bold black moustaches and perhaps a beard." "The idea that a dark collection of short hairs across the upper lip denotes wickedness is an ancient one, handed down in folk stories from the northern European peoples. So thoroughly was this superstition implanted in the minds of our forefathers, that the younger generation has unconsciously adopted it. "The same is true of cigarette smoking. The idea that cigarette smoking denotes a villain may seem odd in our day when smoking by both sexes is very general, but it is the survival in the unconscious mind of a strong and violent opinion taken by the public fifty years ago. "Yankee Madness" is a delightful, fast moving story of sunny Seville, in which George Larkin and Billie Doye are co-starred. Others in the cast are Walter Long, Manuel Camere', Ollie Kirby, Arthur Millett, J. L. Powell, Jean Gouiven and Annette Perry. MEAGHER COMING VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 19. Hon. R. D. Meagher, eloquent speaker of the New South Wales assembly and former lord mayor of Sydney, arrived here today on his way to California on a health trip. CLUB STANDINGS COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

The sap money is longer in circulation. That Rickard realizes this fact was indicated yesterday when he declared against gantees to fighters, a pracer barred by the Boxing Commission in the first place, but only winked at by all promoters big and small. "Fighters will have to gamble on the gate with me hereafter." Rickard declared. "There be no more guarantees. Day is over." This remark, in itself, certainly disposes of any chance Gibbons meeting Dempsey in Garden, as reported. The champion's next foul with the gloves will be for important marks that well. He no longer wants to fight just for the sake of getting the exercise, he plenty of money, and he is joying life as he finds it. Tricking has become something of grind to him and it is a not so fiction that Dempsey we have to train just as hard a small bout as a big one would be a fathead to lose title for a comparatively sturgeous Dempsey, does figure to lose the champions in a hurry, yet some ambitions will knock him over in a season and Jack never knows what bout will mark his last champion. Likewise Leonard has lost terest in boxing except as a dumbo to the big money. Beethoven doesn't think he is an actor, knows it. He wants plenty of dollars. So in a smaller way Tunney, McTigue, Greb, Wal Villa and Genaro. They won't more money than the dear customers can supply, and a motor playing along under a conditions is not a promotor all. He's a charity. BOXER'S BROTHER KILLED AT DANGLE LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19.

If some moving picture casting director would make such a choice there would be many indignant shouts from Nagel's fan followers, yet that is the first part the young leading man ever played. When Nagel reached the knickerbocker age, at his home in Keokuk, Iowa, he had made up his mind that he would go on the stage. At school he haunted the teachers until they gave him his first part, that of Old Sercooge. He was fourteen when he played the role. Role followed role in the school plays with Nagel, until at last he attracted the attention of the manager of the Princess Theater of Des Moines, Iowa, and was given his first part on the legitimate stage. Frances Murphy Nagel, mother of Conrad, encouraged her son at MUSIC PLAYS BIG PART IN BIG FILM The power of music plays an important part of the motion picture theme for Victor Hugo Halperin's "When a Girl Loves." The production is not merely dedicated to the cause of music. Its whole implication is bound up with Drdla's famous melody of "Souvenir." An impressive example of this occurs in the scene where Count Michael, a Russian nobleman, thrown into prison after the Revolution sings his way to freedom. The beauty of his voice moves even the hard-hearted-official who guards him. He could kill a man without flinching, but he could not kill the purge glory, of that voice. So Michael goes free. The role as interpreted by Percy Marmont achieves a wonderful appeal to the sympathies of an audience. "Wha a Girl Loves" will be at Theater on Sunday and Monday. Role followed role in the school plays with Nagel, until at last he attracted the attention of the manager of the Princess Theater of Des Moines, Iowa, and was given his first part on the legitimate stage. Frances Murphy Nagel, mother of Conrad, encouraged her son at every opportunity in his footlight determinations. At the Princess Theater Nagel worked his first year for $7.50 a week. At the end of twelve months he went into vaudeville with a sketch. From vaudeville Nagel went right to Broadway. He appeared in "The Natural Law," "Experience," "The Man Who Game Back" and "Forever After." His first picture was "Little Women," which he made in New York in 1918. Then Nagel's rise was rapid. In the cinema he found the ideal form of expression. Now he is under contract with Metro-Goldwyn. His latest performance is opposite Blanch Sweet in Marshall Neffan's production of Thomas Hardy's classic novel, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," which shows at the California Theater today and Saturday. Louis B. Mayer preenatation, adapted to the screen by Dorothy Farnum. Jack Dempsey in another of the popular Fight and Win Series, "All's Swell on the Ocean" will also be shown and the International News.
