WORLD’S PICTURES—MONDAY NEXT.

CHAAfRION CHARLIK

Chaplin, while wandering about with his bulldog sees a sight on a gymnasium door that white hopes are wonted for a “try-out.” He finds a horseshoe and puts it in Iris pocket for good luck. Then he enters. The big ‘‘bruiser'’ puts all tlie other aspirants out of the running in quick succession. Just before Chaplin’s fur” he thinks of the horseshoe and puts it into his glove. He takes the “bruiser” unawares and hands a blow with the horseshoe that puls him down and out. He then is scheduled to fight the great champion. After .a course of training, in which Chaplin keeps the spectators in roars of laughter with his unique antics, he finally faces his opponent in the prize ring. On tlie front seat, as one of the spectators', is his bulldog. The animal watches the light closely. It actually smiles whenever Chaplin refistcr.s a knockdown.’ Its face is fierce and gloomy when its master goes to the mat. After a long, hard battle in which both men receive heavy punishment., the champion finally gets Chaplin against the ropes and proceeds to punish him unmercifully. It seems that Chaplin is about to take the count when the dog leans from its seat and dashes to “the ring and grabs the champion bv the seal of the trousers and nulls him away. The champion fights desperately to shake off the bulldog. but it holds on like grim death. Chaplin then attacks his rival and finally scores a knockout punch, and the champion, now an ex, takes the count. Chaplin then is hailed the champion of tlie world.
