Apropos of the benefit for em- ployes of the Temple on Friday night of this week, Harry Houdini sent a wire from Chicago to Mickey Finn, manager, to put him down for one gallery eeat at $100. A number of other artiste have also con- tributed. All of the boxes have been sold at fancy prices to leading citi- zens. The entire gross will be di- vided among all employee, share and share alike, as J. H. Moore's gift to his staff. Indications are that J. H. "Mickey" Finn will manage the Temple next season under the E. F. Albee regime. as the booking department ha* re- quested him to select acts for next season. However, the matter has not been settled.

In fact, when Willard awoke to the fact that Johnson was not hurting him, he decided it time to let fly tremendous swings and up- percuts. It would take a far more rugged man to stand up under such blows. Dempsey was but a pound heavier than Johnson when he fought Willsrd at Toledo four years ago, but Jack Is tougher than a string of Floyd Johnsons, and he punished Willard so much that Jess never could get started. Still had Floyd anything like the wallop of Dempsey's it might have been an- other story, for Jess is easy to hit. The big man had the services of Jack Skelly, a former ringman of exceptional skill, and the presence of Skelly in the former champ's corner probably resulted in his win- ning battle.

In the clinches he flashed an upper- cut that looked dangerous. Flrpo once roused, however, could not be denied. His alleged wildness was not noticed: He is a terrific socker and once landing the right his ad- versary goes down without stagger- ing. He punched McAuliffe down once and the second time was the finale. Jack Renault was awarded the decision In the other important match of the afternoon, Fred Fulton being disqualified in the fourth round. Renault carried the battle to the plasterer who much out- weighed him, and was leading on points when he dropped to his knees holding his groin. Fulton is'claimed to have hit him low. Few saw the blow, but the referee, after examina- tion, decided a foul had been com- mitted.

WILLIAM ADLER SHOW ROOM 117 WKHT 47th HTRKKT WORK ROOM M WEST 4*th The Reading club of the Interna- tional league may rip wide open again the question of draft as a result of Its action la purchasing Pitcher Frank Wpodward, recently with the Whits Sox, from the New Haven club of the Eastern league. The Eastern league recognises the draft; the International absolutely refuses to. Woodward was pur- chased from New Haven by Chicago last winter and two weeks age re- turned to the same team, presum- ably with a draft label attached to him. He is a good pitcher, but temperamental as a prima donna, and Manager "Wild Bill" Donovan is said to have put him on the block for this reason. Reading accepted the terms asked by New Haven and apparently took a player with a draft label, thereby flying in the face of the.International League rule on the subject The other clubs in the circuit are likely to protest every game that Woodward pitches. When one or two protests have been entered, President John Oonway Toole will probably make a ruling. Reading can appeal from bis ver- dict and take the case to Judge Landis if it wishes. Should Read- ing win its point and be allowed to keep Woodward, some interesting developments would not seem im- probable. One ray of sunshine breaking through the gathering storm clouds is the possibility that Chicago did not actually buy the player, but took him on trial and not being satisfied, sent him back. The case is said to be like that of Detroit and Rochester over second baseman Cliff Brady. PERFORMERS, ATTENTION!
