FRANK FARMER MATCHED WITH PORTLAND STAR Jask Slmms, who meets Frank Farmer as one of the headline at- tractions of the Ragles' smoker Wednesday night, will arrive in Tacoma from Portland tomorrow morning. Stmms will devote two days to his training here, lie Is instructor of a Portland boxing school, and ls always in good con- dition. Reports from Portland Indicate that Slmms is liable to show the Kapowsln logger something new aliout the boxing game. He administered an unexpected beating to Frank Kendall. Port- land's highly touted heavywolght, recently. Kendall was just con- sidered ripe for a bout with some Of the best of them when Simms came along and handed him a six- round trimming. Farmer says that he will not bo caught off his guard this time, as he was when he boxed Willie Meehan tbe last time. "I'm going to be In first class condition this time, and trained to the minute," says Frank. "If I lose to Slmms. I won't have any alibi to offer." Sodality Has Second Team The Sodality basketball team ls drawing fine crowds to their games on the St. Leo's floor. The playing court ls large and consid- ered one of the best In the city. The Sodality club has also a second team which is capable of playing a speedy game. This team would like to hear from high school teams in and around the city. Teams wanting games should write John Pltzen, manager, care of St. Leo's. Film Is Warning to Girls Scene In "Protect Your Haug liters," photoplay feature at the Apollo. Commissioner Pettit, who made an announcement Saturday that he would not permit "Protect Your Daughters," a new photo- play, to be exhibited at the Apollo theater, made an effort Sunday afternoon to stop tho plcturo. Several officers were present .it the first performance, under Pet- tit'a directions. The film was shown, and no official Interfer- ence was manifested. Great crowds flocked to the theater, many persons being turned away. "Protect Your Daughters" sheds light on aspects of modern life which aro a menace to young girls. Tho play has a brisk story, with plenty of action and excite- ment. Clara Williams Makes Hit In Latest Triangle Drama By her remarkable work yes- terday in "Three of Many," the current Triangle production at the Melbourne, Clara Williams stamp- ed herself as a real photo play •tar soon to beome one of the Idols of the screen. Miss Williams has appeared in many other film plays In Tacoma but never has she taken full advantage of her won- derful opportunities as die does in "Three of Many.'' Not only has this new play a wonderful star but a very strong and appealing story. It holds In- terest from the very beginning and treats one with thrills and strong situations. With the Amateurs Two very fast basketball (cuius will clash next Sunday after- noon when the Sodality club of Tacoma meets the St. Martin's team of Lacey on the latter's floor. Special autos will leave St. Leo's at 11 a. m. It Is ex- pected that nearly 100 persons will accompany McLaughlin's band on the trip. Bowling on the Shaw <& Smile al- leys tonight will be as follows: City league, Olympics meet the M. & M. Hatters; Commercial league, Smelter team meets the Peoples* Store quintet. Only a few short weeks, fellers, then all the talk In sport cir- cles will be baseball. With a lot of other guys, Itoy Wilkow- skl will again be glad. It i» said that Walter Por-nch will again be seen on the Spanaway smoker card. He has been seen several times this season and always does creditable work. The card will be staged by the Spanaway A. C. The ex- act date has not yet been an- nounced, but probably about the 18th of the month. "Fril/." 1.11,1.,-, semi-pro pitcher who pitched for the W. O. W. team last, season, spent a few days In Tacoma last week. He was entertained by his former team-mates, a dance and ban- quet being given in his honor. Now that The Time* -p.,it writers are champion golfers of the city scribes a challenge Is expected dally from some other disting- uished group. Jack Quill, who headed the T. It. ft P. baseball team last season, says that he will have a speedy gang next season also. The Jit- ney boys were handicapped lart season on account of getting a late start. Now that Jack has some new talent he thinks his team will bo able to hold Its own with any amateur team in the city. Charley Fowler, who managed tho pennant winning Hopkins base- ball club last season, will have some team this season. From the reports it looks as though all the stars In the city were anxious to get on his team. He will play under the name of the Majesties this season. Dave Hales will finance the squad. Hales has long been one of the city's popular sportsmen, devot- ing a great deal of his time to hunting. This is said to be his first venture Into the diamond game. Thoso lessons in boxing that Les- ter Patterson is taking may come In handy when the base- ball season opens. Sometimes it is quite handy to talk to an umpire by hand. Hunt to Give Answer Today NORTHFIELD, Minn., Jan. B.— Coach C. J. Hunt of Carleton, is expected to announce definitely some time today whether or not 1 he will accept the University of Washington's offer of a coaching position to succeed OHmour Doble. There Is little doubt but that he will accept, and he is expected to start for the coast about June 1. His Carleton contract expires at the end of the spring athletic period. E.H. SOTHERN IS STARRED IN BIG HIT The stock exchange scenes of "The Chattel," the ViU-craph Blue Ribbon feature In which K. 11. Bothern la starred at the Colonial, fairly vibrate with ex- citement and suspense. The mas- ter hand of Frederick (Bin*;) Tho-meou Is shown in the direction of these scenes. The private offices of the brok- ers are Intercepted by flashes of the rollicking riot of the stock exchange with Its mas-ea of hu- manity drifting into despair or manifesting Joy as their fortunes multiply or disappear while the ticker faithfully performs its In-lo- tions. "The Chattel" Is a powerfully acted drama, and Mr. SothernVi characterization of the stock broker is a splendid bit of work. Minstrels For the Hippodrome Wednesday matinee will mark the opening of the winter season road attractions st the Hlppo- droms when "Romig's Fashion Minstrels" come for a three day's engagement. Tacoma will be one of tbe few cities on the coast in Which these dusky songsters will appear as they are under contract to return to New York for the sprlag season. There are fifteen In the rom- pany with a ten-piece land. With real southern songs, music and dancing "Romig's Fashion Plate Minstrels" will prove a rare treat for the admirer ot the South- land. Diving Nymphs On "Tan" Bill One of vaudeville'a Jig novel- ties, Winston's Water Lions and Diving Nymphs, ls the headline offering this week at the Pan- tages theater. The troupe of edu- cated water lions have teen train- ed to imitate the diving girls in fancy swimming and diving. Tlie Scala Sextet, an organiza- tion of opera singers, will be an- other feature.

B.—One of the strangest and at the same time most unique contracts ever entered into has Just been con- summated when Theda Bara, the famous screen star, signed a three years' contract submitted to her by William Vox. In signing this unusual docu- ment Miss Bara virtually becomes a recluse.

B.—New York this week is to be steeped and pickled In boxing bouts as It hasn't been since the opening of the first season. Jack Brltton, who claims the welterweight championship, Billy Mlske, Tom Cowler and Fred Ful- ton all will be paraded before the public. Also, Les Darcy's first match in this country probably will be announced. The most important of the swat carnivals will be the ten-round meeting tomorrow night between Tow Cowler and Fred Fulton, the latter one of the most bothersome Individuals with whom Jess Will- ard has to deal. When the two heavies have put their squabbles among the his- torical combats. Jack Britton and Albert Badoud will square off tor a ten-round affair Wednesday night. Badoud is the welter champion of Europe. Hilly Miske will get his start, against a big heavyweight Friday night when he tackles Charles Welnert. There are types of ball players who reflect their everyday habits of living In their style of bathing: their way of living is mirrored by their conduct on the field. If in private life they are sav- ing and careful with their money they are not apt to be extravagant on the ball field and the pitcher who has one of them facing him knows he will have to give them something good for they will not waste their swings. On the other hand If they are extravagant off the field pitchers have learned that many of them carry this trait to the diamond and are liable to swing at almost anything. Miller Huggins, Wllllo Keeler, Johnny Evers, Kid Elberfeld and Tommy Leach were the hoodoos of pitchers. They would stand at the plate and wait for what they wanted. They didn't step out:*,ide to hit at wide ones nor edge back to take a chance on the high ones Inside. Miller Hugglns Is noted for his thrift. He has Invested in real es- tate and when he retires from baseball will have to do nothing except collect rent. Willie Keeler is living off the Income from his apartment houses In Baltimore. Johnny Evers is rebuilding a fortune lost In 111-advised busi- ness deals. Kid Elberfeld owns a great farm near Chatanooga, which yields him a big Income, and Tom- my Iyeach has big investments In Florida land. There's Heine Zimmerman, who would be one of the game's best hitters if he would conserve lilb swings and 'wait 'em out" now and then. Zlm's money goes for high- priced neckties, which he wears once or twice, among other things, and his pay check is usually gone before he gets It. Almeida, the Cuban star, ls an- other of the same type. He buys $12 shirts one day and gives them away the next. He throws his money rlgh and left and on the ball field he is handi- capped by like extravagance when he's facing a pitcher. Paul Steele Is planning a "come- back." Finding the life of a symnasium instructor rather dull, Paul has once more fallen for tho lure of the ring, and he is going to re- enter the fight game at Seattle Wednesday night. Steele will meet Jimmy Ma- loney, a lightweight who has been seen in some fast battles in Seat- tle. The bout will be a semi- final and will be staged by the Lumbermen's club. The main event of the evening will be be- tween Frankle Burns of Oakland and Ray Campbell, formerly of Seattle. "I have been planning to get back In the fight game for some time," said Steele today. "And I am In better shape right now than I have ever been. I have adopted a new training system, and I feel right now that 1 can Contract Prevents Theda | Bara From Even Taking a Public Turkish Bath Now curtained. For this purpose she has received a material of in-.i-.ihif net, through which she can see, but cunnot lie seeii. Miss Ban must not attend Turkish baths (of which she was very fond). She will have a private Turkish bath built In her home. Miss Bara must not permit any snapshot photographs to lie taken of herself. It was with trepidation that Mr. Fox handed this unusual docu- ment to his temperamental star to sign. After reading the provis- ions therein, Miss Bara calmly took the pen and without a tremor placed her signature to a paper that will practically make her lead the life of a cloistered nun for the next three years.

BASKET LEAGUE CAN ADMIT MORE TEAMS BY HILLY CAKXS , Owing to election interferring j with the attendance at tho I last City basketball league! I meeting, it was agreed to postpone!

There are still a few who have . not deposited their forfeit money. : This will have to be done tonight. I The season starts tonight as scheduled. However, the two teams opening the season will bo expected to have a representative at the meeting. President Nickerson has had a great deal of experience along the line of organizing various kinds of i leagues and is desirous of having I \u25a0 things done up proper before it is too late. j, Every team representative will lie given a playing schedule to- night. It was decided at a spn- , cial meeting that any other stron.; | teams desiring to got into tho '• league may do so by attending to- night's meeting, making their wants known. It was leaned that one or two of the teams who sought to enter the league were entirely too weak for the City league, and were accordingly thrown out before the schedule was completed. It Is In this way that one or two more strong clubs may get into the league. Tonight's meeting Btarts at 7:30 at the Y. M. C. A.
