Show THE BULLETIN -- The King Is Dead Speaking of Sports of Colonel THE death imiahl littla 1938 Crop of Heavyweights Lacks Power By ROBERT McSHANE AN AGONIZED glance at the crop of current heavyweight contenders leads the average fight fan to believe that Ferdinand the Bull who never learned how to Sght, and who sat all day long under the cork tree, content merely to smell has not received half the credit due him. While many of those ring hopefuls are a distinct odoriferous menace, they are not satisfied, like Ferdy, with the birds, the bees and the flowers. No, Indeed. They insist that all they need is one (or one more) crack at Joe Louis and a new heavyweight champion will be crowned. It is gratifying to note that Shuf-fliJoe is not cringing in terror, usually termed abject In fact, the loud - spoken and oft - repeated threats of his contemporaries leave him cold, even frigid. millinnair owner of the New York Yankees baseball club, was more than a shock to sportsmen everywhere. His death was an irreparable loss to the entire nation. The bachelor was baseball's best friend. Under his stewardship the Yanks wrote the brightest pages in baseball history. When he died be owned ball clubs in New York, Newark, Kansas City, Norfolk, Vs., Binghampton, N. Y., and Akron, Ohio. Ruppert was surrounded by the names of baseball's greatest. On his generous payroll were Babe n' COLONEL JACOB RUPPERT Ruth, the late Miller Huggins, Joe McCarthy, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMag- gio and many others. Best known of all the stars to play under the brewery owner's banner was Babe Ruth. Ruppert paid Boston the then unprecedented sum of $125,000 for him, and made him the greatest slugger of all time. The Colonel was always Insistent on winning and ever disconsolate when his team lost. Sportsmanlike on all points, Ruppert demanded a winning team. All told, the Yankees in Rnppert's regime won 10 American league pennants and seven world series. He bought only the best players, and they paid him well. Though baseball was his over whelming love, the Colonel had many interests. In addition to owning a highly profitable brewery, he at one time served four successive terms as national representative.

One of these men was Fred Rowan of Pelham, N. Y. The other was his friend and hunting companion, Bat. Fred was working down in Costa Rica in 1922, as overseer of a banana farm. Bat was another young American who also worked on the plantation. On New Year's morning, the pair of them started out on a hunting trip, taking along Bat's dog. And that mutt led them into the worst spot either of them had ever been in in their lives. The dog, Fred says, was a brainless animal, untrained and more trouble than he was worth on a hunting trip.

They To Fred's disgust was a little moth-eate- n At that moment it started raining, as only it can rain in the tropics. Hastily the two men started back in what they thought was the direction of higher ground. "But," says Fred, "we couldn't see more than 30 feet ahead through the dense vegetation, and soon we were hopelessly mud dled. All day long we tried this direction and that, but to no avail. FDR AN CD6g FINISH rEAR, He covered the crossing with a big automatic riffle. Stumbling over vines and roots, we floundered helplessly in that tropic swamp. Late in the afternoon we came out. on a bit oi solid grouna beside the river. We tried to head upstream, but ran into another swamp. We made our way back to the high ground and all night we huddled there, cold and wet, with' the rain dinning in our ears. Dawn found us wretched with hunger and thirst, for with all the water around us, none of it was safe to drink. Across the river we could see waving banana- leaves. Over there would be trails, and a trolley line leading to the railroad. If we could only get across." But to get across that river meant swimming and the river was full of alligators. On the other hand, it would be almost as bad to go back into the jungle. In front of Fred's eyes was a picture of a native he had found a month before. lie had been lost for 13 days, and when Fred found him he had gone into his last sleep a shrunken body covered with torn and festered skin. Even alligators would be better than that. It was Bat who decided Fred. Bat was just over an attack of fever, and he was the weaker of the two. "Stay here and rot if you want to," he croaked. "I'm going across the river." Fred felt the same way about it. He told Bat to go ahead that he'd stay oh the bank with a rifle and "cover" his crossing with his big automatic rifle. Carrying the lighter rifle a .22 Bat called his dog and plunged into the water. He made steady progress, and no alligators showed their noses above the surface of the stream. But Fred was relieved when at last he climbed up on the other bank. "Bat motioned to me to come along," says Fred, "and with a sick feeling I made a few simple preparations. My rifle was much too heavy and awkward to hold, so I unlaced my belt half way, threaded it through the trigger guard and refastened it around my waist. This permitted the barrel to swing between my legs and gave me freedom to kick. As I entered the water it occurred to me that Bat was covering my approach with a .22 full of water. A .22 wouldn't even dent an alligator's tough hide. But by then I was out in the current and swimming." Fred swam steadily. He was Raking it. And then, when he was a scant 15 feet from shore, something struck him a terrific blow in the small of the back. At that moment, Fred had visions , of a big, scaly snout poking at him before making the final grab. An alligator! Panic seized him. He threw up his hands and screamed "Oh my God!" And as he did so he got a glimpse of Bat's face above him and horror was written all over it. With the I have just made a slip cover for a wing chair. I never would have tried it if your directions had not been so clear. I am now planning another slip cover and draperies which I would like to trim in fringe. Will you please show me with a sketch how I should sew the fringe? Also should the draperies and chair match? M J. N." This reader evidently agrees with the Chinese proverb, "One picture is worth a thousand words." So here are the sketches showing how to apply fringe in the seams of slip covers and also for an edge finish. The raw edge of the material in the lower sketch is turned to the right side and fringe is stitched over it. If figured draperies are used, the best effect is obtained if not more than one slip cover in the room is of figured material. Plain slip covers may match one or more of the colors in draperies, - . lie Crawled Ashore and Fell Face Down. "I thrashed madly in the water," he says, "and as I did so I felt bottom with my knees. I crawled ashore and flopped face down on the ground, gagging and retching with nausea. I lay there for a while, and then Bat helped me to my feet and steadied me while I took the rifle off my belt." As they started to walk away, neither man spoke. Nothing was Darkness had fallen again, aid about Fred's terrifying experience. when, after much stumbling they came to the trolley line that led to the railroad. Just before midnight they came in sight of the winking lights of their plantation camp. They took some whisky and a stiff dose of quinine apiece and went to bed. The next morning Fred got up and began taking stock and got the surprise of his life. When he came to examine his rifle ' he found that the barrel was split from the muisle almost np to the stock. Then he asked Bat a few questions they hadn't spoken of that swim across the river before and found out all about that "alligator" that had given him such a scare the evening before. That alligator just didn't exist. It was the gun that had given him that poke. "The motion of swimming," Fred says, "had pushed the catch off 'safety' and the drag against the belt had pulled the trigger. The cartridge, exploding under water, created a terrific recoil which drove the stock of the gun into the small of my back. Bat had seen what took place, and thought from my cries that I had been shot. Hence the expression of horror on his face. And I, of course, thought it was because something had attacked me. My mind had been too dazed to realize the folly of swimming with a loaded gun." And another folly Fred says he'll never repeat is going to the rescue of a dog. ed Copyright.

Red herring were sometimes used in the training of hounds. The figurative use implies evading the issue, dragging in something irrelevant, especially a personal insult fired at the other man to cover your retreat from a bad hole." strong-smellin- Bittersweet in Dune Country Bittersweet grows in various localities, one of its favored habitats being the dune country along the shore of lower Lake Michigan.

In this respect bittersweet is not unlike (lie wild grape. Other times it is supported by lower forms such as young sand cherry shrubs.
