vantage. A clever boxer with such
an advantage could easily keep an
opponent from hitting him TO any

Rioux masters the art of self-defense
his advantage in reach will not prove
a valuable ring asset
The advantage in forearm. biceps.

our great hitters were equipped with
massive arms, shoulders, wrists, and
hands. The necessary weight must

The forearm is the dynamo that

knockout with it. 1t is not the
amount OF power that always count
in the delivering of a blow. What
is more important than power is
snap. Fftzsimmons, Kid Mccoy and

Zeb Milan's gang is well out of the
cellar into which they tumbled over
in New York last week. They were
eighth on Monday. Today they are
fifth, and within couple of steps Of
the first division. They hope to
come back to town up among the
contenders, seeing that they are

four and half games in the rear Of
the Yankees today.
Roy Moore, winner Of his first
game against the Washingtonlans
this year, tried It again. He went
away from there in the second when
the Milan mob climbed him and

Today and tomorrow they play

more. And, according TO Mike, the
seventy .four-year old bell hop at the
Aldine, there Just isn't going to be
any soft cinch for the Griffs at
Shibe Park
Mike has been living in Philadel-
phia many a year. He can r-mcm-
ber when pennants and worlds
championship banners were Haunted
TO the breeze at Shibe Park. So
you can easily see that Mikes an
old man. Why he can even re-
member when somebody said the
country had gone dry, not that
he worried much about 1t because
the doctor had ordered him to cut
out his beer before that, owing to
diabetes or something. Then, too,
Mike likes his wee drap, anyway,
more than he ever did his beer and
he still gets 1t.
As we were saying until inter
tupted. Mike thinks the Griffs will
have a rough time of II here and
he bases his belief on what the
Mackmen have done already. Mike
likes a scrapper and a scrap. which
explains his real reason for perking
up this spring.
"See what them AS did to the
Yanks the other day." asked
Mike. "WelI, thatll he what
they'll to many a lad this sum-
year, mark me-"
And that Just about explains 1t,
too. For the first time in seven
long. lean years the Mackmen don't
start as though expecting defeat,
they don't continue to play inning
after inning as though waiting for
the blow on the point of the jaw,
they don't finish as though in
hurry to keep a date somewhere
downtown with their sweeties. They
play ball all the time.

fumbled around the hall hunting

Comparing the measurements OF
the Canadian with those of Demp.
sey shows that the lad from the
North Woods has a larger and
more husky physical makeup than
the champion Rioux stands six feet
four and one-quarter inches in
the champion. Rioux stands six feet
one inch of the title holder The
Canadian lad tips the beam at 246
pounds, ffty-eight pounds more
than his American rival.
Another advantage enjoyed by
him is in age. He is but twenty
three, whereas Dempsey has passed
the twenty-six year mark. Youth
is a big advantage TO fighter
Age has cost more than one cham
pion his title.
However. in the case of Dempsey
it may be said that so far as rec
ords go he should enjoy three or
four more good years before pass
ing the active ring age limit.
In neck, chest. reach, waist, calf
and ankle proportions RiouX out
measures the American. The lat
ter has larger biceps, forearms and
wrists SO far az the neck is con
cerned no attention need he paid
TO its measurements.
WrestIers take exercise TO
strengthen the necks This is be.
cause Of the necessity of develop
ing strength for bridging. SO far
as fighters are concerned the neck
does nothing more than hold the
head on the shoulders.
The difference in the chest meas
urement is the most noticeable thing
about the makeup of these men.
Dempsey bas a normal chest dCvCl-
opment of forty-two inches. The
title holder can expand these figures
10 forty-six inches.
Rioux measures forty-eight and
three-quarters inches around thc
chest. When put to the ties; he can
expand TO fifty-two inches.
This to the athletic critic means
that so far as endurance and
strength is concerned the Canadian
should have no trouble in keeping
pace with the worlds champion.

This is because they know they are

The advantage OF seven inckes

Coast guardsmen turned fire fighters

settled late in the 18th century, Val
threatened with destruction by flames.
Fire swept through a 100 acre wood
until they reached the edge of the
town, located on Roanoke Island.
The man pn watch in the co9st
guard station at Nag's Head obsef-
we'd the smoke. The surfmen put
off for the threatened town and ar
rived in time to aid effectively III
checking the fire, which was about
to sweep a negro settlement. -
