Bingles And
BuntS
By GRANTLAND RICE.

Kidding the eminently honorable
Bombardier Wells has been a popu-
lar arrangement for some time, but
in place of being spoofed it is now
our belief that Mr.. Wells should be
given greater credit than any other
denizen Of pugdom.
We make this statement without
any thought of levity. Figure it
out for yourself. Here we have a
prize fighter who has been knocked
out IN every inhabitable spot on the
globe. He has been hammered to
a CORY pulp by every known nation
ality, including translations into
the Scandinavian. Al falzer killed
him in four rounds, Gunhoat Smith
murdered him in two or three, and
Carpenter tore him off inside of a
minute or so. All the way through,
against average performers, Wells
has been unable to carry on his pro-
fession through four rounds.
But a career that would have ter
minated the gate receipts OF any other
ftghter-a career that would have been
blight to the rest Of the tribe
has seemingly lifted Wells all the high
er. After all this pounding and piffle
do We find Mr.. Wells eliminated for
ever. as o nemight think? Not exactly.
On the contrary. as the phrase goes,
we find Mr.. Wells matched for another
championship with another S35 900 house
IN the offinR and long line already
forming to purchase choice seats.
Now anv winner or renowned victor
can uut this sort of thing across with
out much effort. but 1t takes a genius
to get beaten constantly and still re-
tain drawing power at the gate. And
the Joke of 1t is that Wells has an
outside chance to land a wallop before
CARPENTER taps his law. and, by land
