FUNNY STORY OF KID BROAD
Remembered Fathers Admonition,
But Hadn't Strength Enough Left
to Get Up From Floor.

Abe Attell, former featherweight
champion, tells funny story about
the time Kid Broad, one of the good
ones of the old days, was knocked out
by Aurelio Herrera, hardest little
fighter the ring ever produced.
Breads father, according to Attell,
had told the Kid that if he was ever
Topped to think of his old daddy in
Cleveland and get up.
Broad was floored early in his Her.
rera fight. AS the referee tolled oil
the count, Broad mumbled: kid,
think of your daddy in Cleveland and
get up" Up he got.
In the next round Herrera landed
another sledge hammer drive. Broad,
as he lay on the floor, went through
the same act, mumbling: kid, think
of your daddy in Cleveland and get
up." He was up in fifty.
In the fourth round Herrera landed
harder than ever on Broad's jaw, and
down went the kid. The referee had
about counted him out, when Broad,
dazed and dreamy-eyed, looked up and
said: IF you want me to get up this
time, dad, you'll have to come and
pull me up"

Chance for Ugly Men.

There's all kinds of hope for the men
in the back row--those whose facial
scenery is not attractively arranged.
A whole bunch of beauties in Broad
way chorus declare they just love an
ugly mug, because the machinery In
it's think box is always well oiled. 1t
is their opinion that the brain OF a
pretty man could easily be carried in
the vest pocket of mosquito. And
by way of an argument, one girl says:
go right through the worlds history
and you will find that the really big
men-the men who have done things
were ugly. Women admire them be-
cause they are distinctive forces, be-
cause they are big and strong, both
mentally and physically; and it is a
distinct feminine quality to love and
crave for that we lack. I'll wager
there are many women who have
secret admiration for this or that prize
fighter because of his physical force,
and know lots of them who make no
bones about being crazy about this or
that football hero" So it's all settled.
And it will be worse than useless for
any pretty" men to entertain any
fond matrimonial hopes where this
beauty contingent is concerned.--New

Has Odd Hobby.

An old man who perhaps hasn't re-
ceived a letter in years had an odd
hobby. Every time he sees in the
newspaper the list of advertised mail
sent out from time to time by the
general post office in New York, ke
turns at once to the initial letter un-
der which his name comes and runs
carefully through the list. He never
yet has found any letter that might
be supposed to be for him, and fur
thermore hasn't found any that might
be for any of his relatives. He takes
an odd pleasure in doing it, however,
something with the eagerness which
impels a man to grub through a pack
ct of old letters in hopes that he may
come upon some rare variety of stamp.
Really, if ever he found his name in
the list it probably would kill his en-
joyment of the hunt forever there
after.

Jack Fournier, heavy-hitting out

Several weeks before the close OF
the American league season, when the
Sox were in their last swing around
the eastern circle, Rowland called the
big Frenchman into his room and had
a heart-to-heart talk regarding plans
for next season.
After emerging from this interview
Fournier admitted he would start
training this fall and would let out
his services to the highest bidder on

(Rv FRANK G. MENKEN

Ralph De Palma owes his entry into
the automobile racing game to the
fact that he borrowed a bicycle some
thing like twenty years ago, used it
for the first time while out delivering
a mess Of groceries and busted the
machine-and nearly busted his young
frame-by getting into a smashup
while coasting down a hill.
When Ralph returned to the owner
of that bike the fragments of his ma
chine, the owner wanted to assas-
sinate Ralph, but Ralph saved his
hide by agreeing to pay the bike own
er for the damage done as soon as he
could gather in the mazuma through
the medium of his weekly stipend as
a grocery boy.
However, the bike owner became
impatient because payments were
slow, and he approached Ralph on the
subject.
I'm doing the best can," explained
Ralph.
well, your best don't suit me-
responded Ralph's creditor. "You
gotta come through faster IL you
don't I'll bust your beezer. See?"
Ralph gazed upon his creditor, no
ticed that he was four or five years
older, four inches taller and about 35
pounds heavier-and Ralph imme-
diately saw"
Gimme a few days to think this
over" asked Ralph. He got it. Dur
ing those days De Palma racked his
brain for some plan whereby he could
raise funds quickly, but none came
forth until one day he saw billboard
telling about a bicycle race to be held
in Buffalo, with cash prizes for the
first eight men finishing.
Gee whizz," calculated Ralph. Now
It may be explained that after that
smashup Ralph had decided never to
do any more riding. But sometimes
circumstances alter cases-and cause
a change of mind. That's what the
circumstances did for Ralph and he
quickly hunted up his creditor.
"Say, didju get that bike fixed up
yet?' he asked.
Eyes; but she amt as good as she
was when she was new"
ooh, that's all right" said De Palma.

According to Hoke-and he is right
"a player who hits ,22O is often more

decided to take chance.

LIGHT FOR OPERATING ROOM
Eminent British Surgeon Believes
Green to Be Better Color Than
White, at Present Used.

The immaculate white of an oper-
ating room and everything in it has
long been a byword, but it is more
than likely that this will soon change
to "verdant green" or some other
sh ,de of natures favorite color. Brit
isn physicians, who have lately had
ali amplitude of practice in operating
rooms. are finding that white is too
wearisome to the eye and causes IA
sigue. 1t also detracts from the value
of light on and within the wound.
Light is now being focused on the
wound, not around it, with much bet
ter results.

fitted up an operating room entirely
of green and it is likely his example
