The Skeeter entry Is a whale Of q
hitter, and judging from his last
few performances, the Indian has
picked a very rough assignment for
himself.
Mike McTigue, who battles Pan

be in great shape. Mike thinks that
he will send the black bird right
out Of the picture after a few
rounds of their scheduled twelve
round event, which Is attracting as
much attention as the main bout.
Cans, on the other hand, says that
Mike is very much mistaken in his
notions. and that the Celt Is in for
a rough and thorough lacing.
The tip-off on the middleweight
division Is the comeback of the
ancient Mike Gibbons. The st. Paul
flash, after a lay-off Of many years,
returns with nothing but a wise old
head and a prayer, and blazes
through the current gang without
ever getting up a sweat. Proof
enough on the caliber of the mid

query of the news grabber.

person as he busted himself keeping

better.

Those who are having serious
trouble and appear to be jostled into
a depressing rutland they are as
thick as the autumn leaves that
once fluttered over the Vallam-
brosian plains-could at least start
picking their way out of the val
ley of the shadow" by adopting "a
si1pler attitude toward the game

forearms most of the attendant
duty.
Once they begin to work in vari-
Gus fancy pivots and shimmies they
are too far off the reservation to

the head far from its balance, have
twisted the body out of all align

out of its proper arc. If they ever

the body practically divorced from
the stroke. Watch the results. You
won't believe that the wrists and
forearms can attain any such dis
tance. Later on. after you have
worked out of heSslump. you can
begin to get the body in at the right
time, but as a starter out of trouble
be sure that the body figures very
slightly in the effort. We are not
offering this out of any expert per-
sonal vision. but as the suggestion

with the little Cleveland scrapper

Take the average duffer who is
wild off the tee. Let him get a

in swinging merely slap the ball

than half way back. Let him be
