No othei ring division hai sent out as many fine fighters. The list includes such boxers and punchers as Joe- - Gans, ii,, - Keep in Season By Adapting Menus To Cool Foods Leonard, Jack McAuliffe, Benny Frank Erne, Kid Lavigne the Saginaw Kid, Bat Nelson, Ad Wolgast, Willie Ritchie, FredB. Leonard awe-Inspiri- Armstrong and many others. In various debates and arguments that have been under way for 4V years, there are generally two names that finish but In front Leonard and Gans. Some time ago, Harry Smith, the veteran San Francisco expert who has been covering championship matches for more than 50 years, who goes back deep into ring history, put this selection up to many of those who had seen both men in action. In the vote that followed, Gans, the Old Master from Baltimore, had a slight lead. Both were rated headline artists as boxers and punchers. Leonard had much the better ring record. But Gans, to make a living, had to take orders more than once that included a dive. He was the fighter Jack Blackburn, a great ringman on his own who once had charge of Joe Louis, picked as the best. But there are many others who rate Leonard on a par. Gans finished his career in the last stages of tuberculosis, but even when a sick man he outlasted Bat Nelson, the Durable Dane. No one ever knew just how good Gans might have been under cleaner handling plus better health. Both Boxer and Puncher In addition to being a brilliant who had no waste mo-Jowas a murderous punchlast fight with Nelson, was moving close to an early death, he nailed Nelson with a right to the side. "I thought Gans had used a knife," Nelson said lat er. "I never had a punch that hurt as much. I felt like crying." Leonard was smart, game, one of the ablest of all the boxers and a hard puncher on the side. He was one of the greatest of the lot, and mtw rank him in front. And be that the game has known no y willing to help any worthy cause, where he could be of use. On the night before the Dempsey-Willar- d battle in Toledo, back in 1919, Bob Edgren and I dropped by to see Jess Willard. The defending champion was more than willing to outline his plan, of battle. "Look over Dempsey's record," he said. "A knockout in one round. Another knockout in two rounds. Two more in one round. You know what that means. It means he starts punching from the belL You can't knockouts deep piling up unless you pile in and start swinging. I'm going to wait for him with my left out and my right ready for an uppercut. The second he comes in close enough, I'll let him have it. And I don't believe any guy can hurt me." That had been Dempsey's earlier plan. Jack and Kearns had covered a bet, $10,000 against $100,000, an knocking Willard out in the first round. Naturally Dcmpsey didn't want to waste any time fooling around. It was Leonard, a master mind in Dempsey's camp, who got Dempsey and Kearns to switch their plan. 'This big guy will be waiting for ihat first rush," Leonard said. "He's updangerous with that right-hanpercut. There's no use taking any such chance against a fellow who The outweighs you by 58 pounds. thing to do is to make Willard lead first. Circle in and out, weaving And keep it up until and bobbing. he leads. Then go to work." boxer, one he also er. In his when Gans n, e ont,-inor- d one-roun- d d Strategic Stajling This was wise advice. For something like 47 seconds, which seemed longer than 10 minutes, Dempsey circled Willard after the manner of a leopard moving around, an ox. Dempsey would move In, weave, bob and then move back again. Around and around, with Willard shifting position, all set for the expected rush. The time finally came when Willard couldn't wait any longer. After II, Willard waa the champion and he had a margin In weight, many Inches In reach and five or six Inches In height. As Dempsey started weaving In again, Willard tried a left Jab.

Willard fell like a giant marionette whose strings had snapped. Later on, in the short fight. Willard Jolted Dempsey badly with the same uppercut he had hoped to use In the first round. But, by that time, Willard was a helpless hulk. This is merely further proof of Leonard's ring smartness. He had most of the answers. rV If you are short of refrigerator space and still like molded salads, use a cornstarch for thickening, and you will have just exactly the salad you want.

Here, where the majesty of the mountains reaches its supreme heights, congress has established a chain of national parks, beginning with Yellowstone in 1872. These parks exemplify the many forms and or eacn pos-- s lake-studde- awe-inspiri- tne KocKies, witn laces sessing a distictive character of its own. Three of the parks Glacier, lowstone and Rocky Mountain Yelbe-stri- the Continental National Parks Second In a Series Divide wa-so that the ters from their snow-field- s, lakes and streams drain into both the Atlantic and the Pacific. The fourth. Grand Teton, embracing the highest portion of the Tetons, drains into Snake river, a major tributary of the Columbia. GLACIER PARK, lying up against the Canadian border, and forming a part of Waterton-Glacie- r International Peace park, contains nearly a million acres of land and water. Although there are still some 60 glaciers, many of which the summer visitor can reach without great difficulty, it is the work of much greater glaciers of thousands of years ago which carved the many valleys of the park that are chiefly responsible for its name. In the valleys and basins so formed lie more than 200 lakes; these, reflecting the sheer peaks which rise from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above them, provide much of the spectacular beauty of the park that makes it one of the most photographed in the whole park system. A highway crosses the park, by way of Logan pass on the Continental Divide, and short spur roads extend to several of the finest of the lakes. However, Glacier is primarily and most enjoyably a horseback park. The National Park service calls it the foremost trail park as it contains about 1,000 miles of trails. The trails, rangers insist, provide the best means of really getting acquainted with the park. Glacier also stands next to Yellowstone in quantity and variety of big game, of which the mountain goat is probably the most famous species. TETON, only a few miles south of Yellowstone, and flanked on the north and east by Jackson Hole National monument, is extraordinary both because of the jagged, rugged grandeur of its mountains and because of the fact GRAND that these rise abruptly from what geologists call the fault Hock trough of Jackson. Hole. In other words, on their eastern side they have no foothills. The tip of Grand Teton, with an elevation of 13,766 feet, is more than 7,000 feet above Jackson Hole and the lovely series of lakes Jenny, String, Leigh, Jackson and others that nestle against the base of the range. These mountains, too, owe much of their sculpture to glaciers, of which a few remain in the higher basins. Packed with the mile area of alpine park are 22 peaks of more than 10,000-foo- t elevation as well as numerous lakes, glaciers, snowficlds and extensive forests. No highway crosses the range except at Teton Pass, where the Teton range Joins the Snake river range. Only foot and bridle trails penetrate the backcountry. Much of the area, particularly the upper Teton country, is virgin mountain-fores- t ng miles northwest of Denver, is more than a mile and a half above sea level before he enters it. The park's lowest elevation is around 8,000 feet; its highest, the summit of Long's peak, is 14,255. Within the park are some 65 named peaks of more than 10,000 feet elevation, and scores of lakes, small and large. Here again lakes and peaks have been carved by the slow and inexorable movement of glacial ice. Rocky Mountain is a great hiker's and mountain climber's park, as are Grand Teton and Glacier, but it also offers the motorist one of the greatest thrills to be found in any national park. This is the Trail Ridge road, of which more than four miles are above 12,000 feet elevation and II miles are above the 11,000-foo- t timber line. From few places in the world is there offered g such a panorama of spectacular mountain scenery. Although the National Park service encourages mountain climbing in these and other parks of the system, its ranger force is called on year after year to go to the rescue of climbers who venture among the peaks alone or under unskilled guidance; and it is seldom that a season passes without one or more fatal accidents to those who disregard the safety rules which the service enjoins on all climbers. The fundamental piece of advice to the venturesome is: "If you want to climb, consult a ranger. Get his advice; and once you have it, abide by it. It may mean the difference between life and death." far-flun- IN GLACIER National park, there is almost every type of public accommodation. Concession operations in Rocky Mountain under contract with the government are limited, but at Estes park, on the east side, and Grand lake, on the west side, there are numerous hotels and camps just outside of the national park. At Grand Teton, there are no hotel, lodge or camp concessions, but there are varied accommodations in the town of Jackson and at many places in Jackson Hole. 0 a . r hard-cooke- d Remove skins and core from tomatoes.

In fact, the process is less painful if she realizes that with the first of the warm weather, the family is apt to feel lan guid and lazy, and not much inclined - to eat. Change immediately and you won't have a lot of leftovers. One of the smartest things any woman can do is to be generous with salads in the menu. No, I don't mean the usual variety, but something entirely different from what you've been having the past few months. Use new, fresh greens, try exciting and refreshing fruit and vegetables combinations and see how quickly the family takes to them. If necessary, make salads the main dish of the meals whenever possible, but when doing so, have them hearty enough to furnish the required number of calories to carry on daily activities. This is easy to do with cold meats, cheese and eggs. A nice salad to serve because it's so refreshing is this one which has a generous amount of cottage cheese to furnish valuable proteins for tissue and body building. The citrus fruit makes it doubly refreshing on sweltering days: Fruit Salad BowL (Serves 6) ii can cranberry sauce.
