One of the severest beatings of Baers career was administered by Joe Louis, and today Max is talking his way to revenge. He swears that he i3 ready that he is determined to wm out that he will whip Joe Louis when he gets to him. Maxie ottered the remark recently that hed like to make a lot of guys holler Uncle for some of the things they said about his last fight with Louis. Baers courage was questioned in many corners, and that hurt. In fact, his knockout by the Brown Bomber perhaps hurt him less than some of the resulting tales questioning his willingness to fight. He now claims that his wife and little Baer have reformed him, have torn him from the primrose path. Maybe its true, but weve beard similar statements from Max in tbe past. One thing can be said in his favor. He started training early. ; Visitors from Out of Town: (s-H-S, George, Elizabeth Go Calling -- iMint' N svs .. .v 9 'J v A , ADVENTURERS CLUB ""w; V' ,y f HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI ' e. to most people, but Jim Burnett of East Rutherford, N. J., goes out and hunts for his thrills. You know, Ive always felt that youll have just as many adventures if you stay right at home and let them hunt you up. But Jim seems to have had pretty good success with his system, too. In the last 20 years or so, Jim had adventured in 54 countries. But the biggest scare he ever got in his life was that time, way back in the interior of Brazil, when he ran into the Adventure of the Gray Spots. In December, 1922, Jim and his pal Jay McKay, were on their way up the Amazon on an errand of vengeance. A Portuguese half breed had killed McKays father and fled upstream to hide in the wilderness. Jim and Jay had a hunch that they would find him in the Geral Indian country, and they had started off after him. in a molloca, a type For two weeks they traveled of canoe used on the Amazon, turned south to ascend the i Pattern No. Youll love these quaint motifs er s. cross-stitc- cross-continent- l vanced boldly toward the handful before us.

Turnabout Ellsworth WHETHER orhas not forsaken pro tennis to concentrate on an amateur golf career, can ever become a successful golfer is a question. Vines himself is quite optimistic, believing he will do more than all right for himself. Others, particularly golf experts, are not so sure. The former tennis notable qualified for the National amateur golf tournament last year, but went out early. He is of the opinion that if he devotes all his time to the links game he may advance further. If Vines carries bis tennis tendencies over to his golf debut he will run into trouble. Vines has always tended to fold up when there was something at stake in a tennis match, and is likely to do the same when he is in a crucial golf test. His tennis game went to pieces In National championship and Davis crumcup tests, and as a pro it bled in matches against Tilden, Perry and Budge, So Ellsworth may go back to the tennis courts after a year on the d Sport Shorts CARDWELL, N.

The ghastly horror, says Jim, grew on us day by day. We pad-diealong mechanically, like a coupie of automatons, wishing to heaven wed die trying to get up the courage to end our mental agony. As we paddled, we prayed. We knew that no prayer could cure us, but I believe today that they saved us from a worse death madness! And then, one day as they were rounding a turn near the mouth oi the Maderia river, they came upon another white man a doctor from the English hospital at Porto Velho, and Jim says that if there ever was a messenger from heaven come in answer to a prayer. Doctor King was that messenger. There in the jungle he gave them a brief examination, and then he told them the news. Boys, he said, I know you've been suffering the tortures of the damned, but you can stop worrying. Your cases are a rare form of false leprosy a disease that looks a lot like the real thing, but which a good rest and a little medical attention will take care of. It wont be long before youre as fit as ever. That ended those two lads mission of vengeance. They never did catch the killer. But Jim hopes that If Jay McKay is in this country he reads this yarn.

It wasnt until after a quarter of an hour of hard paddling, when we were a mile away down stream, that we realized, with a strange, sinking sensation in the pits of our stomachs that we had handled the leprous wretches that they had bitten and scratched us. Jim says that worrying about their exposure to leprosy was bad enough, but the real horror of the business didnt hit them until a week later. Then, tiny, round gray spots began to appear The shock, says on bis and Jay McKays wrists and arms. Jim, was terrific. In fact, McKays hair turned snow white at the age of thirty. I wished that I were dead then and there, and I guess McKay did, too. Have you ever seen the Louisiana leper colony, or been in the Ladrones? I had always pitied those poor d victims of a living death and now I was becoming one myself. They pushed on down the river. In another two weeks the spots had spread over their entire bodies. Life, then, was like a nightmare. For there they were, thousands of miles away from civilization, coming down with the worlds most dreaded disease. And even getting back to civilization would be scant comfort. Not even modern medicine can cure that hateful, wasting malady of which those spots were the first awful symptom. To Clean Aluminum.

Yes it was a tense situation all right but nothing Jim or Jay had yet imagined was as bad as what actually happened. The Indians were about twenty paces away when Jim saw them the gray spots. The skins of every one of those Indians were gray and blotchy and spotted spotted with the most dreadful disease known to the world. Leprosy! Jim yelled: McKay uttered just one Stop, McKay stop. Then both of them turned and started to run word. Lepers! back to their canoe. They reached the river bank together, leaped over It and landed on the beach right on top of a couple of Indian boys who had circled around them to see what they could steal from the boat. They turned on us and fought us fiercely, says Jim, no doubt resenting our catching them at it. They scratched and bit and kicked us before, finally we heaved them bodily out onto the sand and pushed our molloca into the river amid a bedlam of shouts from the advancing Indians. Fear Unk3.
