Arthur Pelky, heavyweight fighter of
modest prominence. has at last agreed
to retire from the ring. In a statement
recently given forth Pelky declared
that since the unfortunate McCarty
affair at Calgary he had been unable

KIND OF A FAN TO ENVY
He Sits Through the Game Silently,
Though All the Time Enjoy
ing It Hugely.

He Is young, tall, slender, wears
blue serge, and even on very cool days
in the early spring he goes without
an overcoat, Simeon Strunsky writes
in the Atlantic. He sits out the game
with folded arms, very erect, thin
Tipped and with just the break of a
smile around the eyes. He usually
comes alone and has little to say. He
IS not a snob; he will respond to his
neighbOr's comments in moments or
exceptional emotional stress, but he
does not wear his heart on his sleeve.
| imagine him sitting, in very. much
the same attitude, in college lecture
rooms, or taking instructions from
the head Of the office. Complete alb.
sorption under complete controlling
fascinates me. While the stout young
mar behind me chatters on for his
own qualification, forgetting one mo-
ment what he said the moment before
an empty headed young man with a
tendency to profanity as the game
goes on-this other trim young figure
in blue serge, with folded arms, sits
1mmobile, watching, watching with a
calm that must come out Of real
knowledge and experience, enjoying
the thing immensely, but giving no
other sign than a sharper CLINT Of the
eye, a slight opening of the lips.
In a moment Of crisis, being only
human, he rises with the rest of us.
but deliberately, to follow the course
of a high fly down the foul line far
toward the bleachers. When the ball
Is caught he smiles and sits down and
folds his arms. I envy him his Cas-
pacity for drinking in enjoyment with
out display. This is the kind Of a fan
I should like to be.

CURED HIS RUPTURE

I was badly ruptured while lifting a

my only hope of cure was an opera

quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture
has never returned, although am do
ing hard work as a carpenter. There
was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. | have nothing to sell, but
will give fun information about how
you ma find a complete cure with
