Show TpHE recent death of Benny Leon- ard revives the old argument concerning the best lightweight from, a long and able parade. No other ring division has sent out as many fine fighters. The list includes such boxers and punchers punch-ers as Joe Gans, Benny Leonard, Jack McAuliffe, Frank Erne. Kid Lavigne the Saginaw Sagi-naw Kid, Bat Nelson, Nel-son, Ad . Wolgast, Willie Ritchie. Freddy Fred-dy Welsh, Tony Canzoneri, Henry B. Leonard Armstrong and many others. In various debates and arguments that have been under way for 40 years, there are generally two names that iinlsh ou. in front Leonard Leon-ard 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, his-tory, 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, Balti-more, 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, Black-burn, a great ringman on bin 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 boxer, one who had no waste motion, mo-tion, he also was a murderous puncher. punch-er. In his last fight with Nelson, when Gans 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 later. 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 many rank him in front And beyond be-yond that the game has known no one more willing to help any worthy cause, where he could be of use. On the night before the Dempsey-WUlard Dempsey-WUlard battle in Toledo, back in 1919, Bob Edgren and I dropped by to see Jess Willard. The 245-pound 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 keep piling up one-round knockouts unless you pile in and start swinging. swing-ing. 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 187-pound guy can hurt me." That bad been Dempsey's earlier plan. Jack and Kearns had covered cov-ered a bet, $10,000 against $100,000, on knocking Willard out in the first round. Naturally Dempsey 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 that first rush," Leonard said. "He's dangerous with that right-hand uppercut. up-percut. There's no use taking any such chance against a fellow who outweighs you by 58 pounds. The thing to do is to make Willard lead first Circle in and out, weaving and bobbing. And keep it up until he leads. Then go to work." Strategic Stalling This was wise advice. For something some-thing like 47 seconds, which seemed longer han 10 minutes, Dempsey circled Villard 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, po-sition, all set for the expected rush. The time finally came when Willard Wil-lard couldn't wait ar.? longer. After all, Willard was the champion and he had a 58-pound margin in weight, many Inches in reach and five or six inches in height. As Dempsey started weaving in again, WiUard tried a left jab. The tigerish tiger-ish Dempsey moved In under and nailed Willard with a hard right to the body, followed In a split-second flash with a killing left high on the cheekbone. Willard fell like a giant marionette whose strings had snapped. , - Later on, In the short fight, Willard Wil-lard jolted Dempsey badly with the same uppercut he had hoped to use in the first round. But, by that time, . Willard, was helpless hulk. This is merely further proof of Leonard's ring smartness. He always al-ways bad most of the answers. Bad Spellers Convict Man in Forgery Case HAMILTON, TKX.-A district court jury listened to a forgery case and returned this verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant defend-ant guilty and assess his punishment punish-ment at two years." "Well, gentlemen," said Judge R. B. Cross, "you should amend the verdict by adding the words 'in the state penitentiary.' " "We knew that ought to be in there, Judge," one juror said, "but there wasn't anyone on the jury who knew how to spell penitentiary." Hungry Crows Raid Sheep in England Scarcity of Usual Food Supply Makes Birds Ravenous. LONDON Crows, magpies and : starlings, the "personality kids" ; among reprobate birds, are usually : not considered dangerous, i As a relatively obscure by-prod-, uct of frozen Britain's recent in-: in-: dustrial crisis, however, these birds ; began to attack sheep in large num- bers and killed quite a few of them last winter. !

Thus 12 swans ; boarded a lightship in a ravenous j search for food after 14 days of fast- lng, and forced crew and master below decks until they were fed i table scraps. The crow, citizen of the world, is i found on every continent, and usu-i usu-i ally i regarded as a pest, but not a dangerous one. A British semi-i semi-i official mission has studied the crow I for the past two years to find out j whether, in impartial judgment, his ! good and bad habits balance. Recent reports from the village of Louth, Lincolnshire, where snow was blown into 18-foot drifts, were all bad, as regards the crow. Lincolnshire is the home of the famous black-faced, white-legged Lincolnshire breed of sheep, liked the world over for its hardihood and wool production. During the hard winter, strong-beaked strong-beaked crows, magpies and starlings, star-lings, violent from hunger, attacked flocks of sheep. They fluttered down on the woolly barks of the animals and dug through the hide into the warm fat underneath. Many sheep not killed outright were so wounded they had to be destroyed. de-stroyed. . But the gravest danger was not immediate loss of sheep, which was small compared to the 25 million head grazing over the island. It was the danger that these birds might develop a permanent liking for live mutton. It is not so nebulous a fear as it might appear on the surface. It has happened before in New Zealand, for instance. Major Crime Sets New Record For United States in 1946 WASHINGTON. Major crime reached a new high in 1948 with a felony being committed every 18.7 seconds, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reported. There was an all-time total of 1,685,203 cases, an increase of 7.6 per cent over 1945. Hoover said that "during the average av-erage day 36 persons were slain, 33 raped and 185 others feloniously assaulted. as-saulted. Every day also brought reports re-ports of 172 robberies, 981 burglaries, 630 automobile thefts and 2,580 miscellaneous mis-cellaneous larcenies." There was an increase of 23.3 per cent in murder and non-negligent manslaughter, 15.7 per cent in robbery, rob-bery, 5 per cent in rape and 12.9 per cent in aggravated assault. Larcenies Larcen-ies were up 8.8 per cent and burglaries bur-glaries 11.3 per cent.

Spurs flashing, whirlwinds rising from the hoofs of the straining horses, they pelted down on Kansas Terry. The girl was Toni Lee; the men, her foreman, Chuck Mayne, and her cowboys, Slats and Jimmy Gwtnn. "Outa all New Mexico," the burly Mayne thought, exultantly, "we picked that there canyon to ride through. And here's our rustler, with a dead calf." His exultation was tinged with discomfort. Embarrassing, having a lady with them; he could only hope the men, on both sides, would gloss things over, sort of. Kansas Terry, the rustler, could have grabbed his pack pony's lead-rope lead-rope and vaulted into his saddle. He could have got away through the high greasewood, but he did not. He bent over the dead roan calf. The nickel conchos on his leather roping guard flashed with the swift turns of his wrist. He wiped and iheathed his bowie knife. Tall, lanky, easy in manner, he stood with his back to the party riding toward him. The riders circled him at the gallop, gal-lop, pulling the ponies to their haunches in sudden stop. Kansas Terry's brown Stetson was shoved back, disclosing his pale eyes, with their sly, mocking expression. He smiled sweetly. "Mornin', Miss Toni. Morn! n', Chuck. Mornin', Slats. Mornin', Jimmy." Addressing the girl, he bowed from the hips. Kansas Terry's Ter-ry's good manners never failed him. Chuck Mayne's bushy brows met aver his rugged face like storm clouds over the Bad Lands. "We got yuh this time, Kansas." "Now Ah wouldn't say so," Kan-las Kan-las Terry drawled, gently. Chuck Mayne felt uneasy. There was something about the mockery In Kansas Terry's pale eyes, something some-thing about the extra silk on his politeness, po-liteness, that said he wasn't caught by a long way. Toni Lee drew her fingers across her eyes as if a mist gathered there. A slim girl, with wide-set eyes, gentility gen-tility showed on her as plainly as the silver bracelets on her brown wrists. "That there," Mayne asserted, "is a calf out'n Miss Toni's herd." "That there," Terry returned, courteously, "is a maverick. There ain't a brand on it." XIAYNE swung out of the saddle. V- The right side of the calf was up, the curly roan hair unmarred by branding iron. He heaved the carcass over. His heart turned over, too, and stopped. On the calf's flank a square as large as a man's hand glared bright red. The calf, strictly speaking, had no brand. The brand had been cut way. Chuck Mayne straightened up, with his fists on his hips. Outwardly cool, inside he seethed.

"Stretch the mred hands, high, mister." "Regular cactus of a guy, ain't yuh?" he drawled, amiably. "Sharp and hard to grab." His own bowie flashed. He cut a similar square of hide from the roan flank. "This what you done?" Mayne hurled the soggy rawhide as far as he could. "Git it. Slats." Slats transferred the lead horses to Toni Lee. Touching spur to his pinto, he scooted to the piece of rawhide. Arriving there, he made a slow circle, and other circles inside in-side that. Slats could pick up a trail with any Indian. If the brand had been thrown he would have found it. "Nope," he said, at last. " 'Twas-n't 'Twas-n't throwed." Jimmy, dangling his loop, looked from the Cottonwood in the canyon to the lanky, confident rustler. He shook his head. "Once a rustler cut a bran' thetaway. He stuff it down a prairie dog hole." "I heard," Slats put in, languidly, "of one jammin" a piece of hide down a calf s throat." "Look for it!" Mayne ordered. "Doggone it we caught this rascal redhanded." Kansas Terry looked at his hands, coolly and impersonally. He appeared ap-peared to And nothing wrong with them. His finger touched his throat, above the knotted red bandanna, as if a hemp noose rasped the flesh. The gesture made Mayne's hopes rise, but they thudded down when Terry folded his arms and stood at ease. Muttering, "We' 11 find thet brand," Mayne hurled himself into the search. He drove on Slats and Jimmy with a fury of energy. A sweating trio of men worked over the desert around the calf. They looked into mesquite and snarled cactus and prickly pear.

"So th' calf ain't branded," Mayne said reluctantly. "Th' brand wasn't throwed, wasn't stuffed nowhere, no-where, and it sure aint on yore person, per-son, or the blood 'ud give yuh away. But some day I'll git yuh agin." Kansas Terry smiled sweetly. "Ah'Il be at yore service," he said, courteously, without a trace of gloating. "Goodbye, Miss Toni. Goodbye, Chuck. Goodbye, Slats.

TpHE four riders made a cloud of Just along the escarpment. Kansas Kan-sas Terry stood motionless, watching watch-ing them. The riders vanished up a draw, but Terry stood immovable. He stared at the emptiness they left on the plain, for a long, long time. Once he readjusted the bandanna, and his fingers slid gingerly along his neck. His hand found the bowie knife, but left it in the sheath. The sun rose until the heat washed all the pale green and orange or-ange from the sky, leaving it a brazen blue. Terry's sorrel and the black pack-pony grazed farther and farther away. Still the rustler did not move, beyond shifting his feet to ease them, and rolling a cigarette. ciga-rette. At last he drew the bowie and took one step toward the calf. He tensed, sprang back, reached for his gun. Mayne, riding alone from the canyon, can-yon, shouted, "Jimmy's got a rifle on yuh, Kansas! Don't move!" He rode up close and whipped the rustler's rust-ler's gun from the holster. "Stretch them red hands, high, mister." "Matters stand jest as they did. Chuck." "Sho' don't I know it?

"No, but I got to thinkin' after I left yuh." Mayne shoved the gun muzzle under the brim of Terry's brown Stetson, and lifted the hat. Terry's curly hair had a strange tonsure a square of roan calf hide. "Figured it thetaway," Mayne said softly. "Yuh got too good manners, man-ners, Kanras, to stand in front of a lady with yore hat on." TOU MIGHT BE A NAGGER The husband was up for striking his wife. He had no defense except that she nagged him continuously. But in the eyes of the judge that was sufficient, for he said, in acquitting ac-quitting the husband, "There's nothing noth-ing worse in this world than a nagging nag-ging person." Note that he said "person," not "woman," for it is a fact that just as many men as women nag and both men and women, when they nag, put big boulders in the path of their life. Maybe you know naggers and wonder why they nag. It's a curious curi-ous and interesting reason. Naggers nag because they are dissatisfied with their own existence, and want to make others dissatisfied. That is one reason. Another is that they are jealous. A third is that the nagger nag-ger is simply a selfish, spoiled person. per-son. The worse thing about nagging, however, is that many persons are naggers without knowing it. Keep a record for two or three days, and if you fird a querulous note in your actions or words, a tendency ten-dency to like to tell others what to do, you're a nagger. And then you have to take the treatment. The treatment consists of one word STOP. If you want others to like you. If you want to make the most out every day of your life; don't develop the habits of a nagger. Hydro-Electric on Farms Fills Needs Serves as Substitute Central Power Service Despite the progress made by power suppliers in "electrifying rural ru-ral America," the task is so vast that thousands of farms will not be reached by electric lines for several years. A number of these farms are located far from existing or contemplated distribution lines.

Both may be prepared In the cool hours of the morning. No homemaker has to wait for the family's appetite to lag before she starts changing the menus to suit their needs. In fact, the process is less painful if she realizes that with the first of the warm weather, weath-er, the family is apt to feel languid lan-guid and lazy. and not much inclined to eat.
