by way of diversion. thought
surely that he must play the guitar
but he admitted that he did not
play any musical instrument. He said
his hobby was Eel commercio" (busi-

to be his particular interest.

Paddy Mullins, who Is Harry Wills
manager, says he has not been ap-
preached by Rickard, adding that a
contract with Firpo for a fight after
the Dempsey Firpo date does not
suit his ideas at all-unless of course,
Firpo should happen to win the
championship.
Our suggestion to friend Mullins
is that he take a chance and scratch
his name on any dotted line that
Rickard places under his nose. You

LnvalIe on the Job.
A glance at Senior Lavalle. who has
Just arrived in New York to train
Firpo. reveals a young South Ameri-
can exquisite, one of the juenesse
doree of Buenos Aires. who. having
plenty of time and money, has taken
a deep interest in boxing and box
fighters. He probably knows as much
about training a fighter for long
grueling battle as Dempsey knows
about running job as high school
principal.
At the same time Lavalle knows
enough about boxing to have won the
gentine-whatever that amounts to
and is brimful of confidence and en-
thusiasm. So far as sparring part
ners whom Firpo has selected thus
far are concerned the writer cannot
hand them a whole lot. Frank Koble
and the Jamaica Kid are the two un-
fortunates recruited for service on
the firing line at Atlantic City.
Firpo will start in on the serious
work of preparation down the Jersey
coast the latter part of this week.
He regards himself as in excellent
condition and does not wish to dis
pose of any of the 213 pounds he is
now carrying. The purposes of his
training. says Lavalle, will be to
insure his wind against a possible
fifteen rounds of action. and to keep
him in his present -ine condition.
II have no more doubt that Firpo
will win this BATTLE" said Lavalle,
than I have that I am in the
United States at the present moment.
Dempsey will be unable to injure
Luis and he cannot survive the pow
erful blows he will receive"

Evening star., 1923-08-22

This is a shot l would advise the
average golfer to forget, as it will
invariably end in continual bad slic-
ing. In playing this shot. l stand
with the right foot slightly ad-
vanced and use the same grip as
l always do. The backswing is
upright, and when I strike at the
ball | allow a good deal more of
the right shoulder to come into the
bali than ordinarily. AS a result
the ball is given a spinning move
ment to the right which finally
turns its fight that way. One great
golfer, when asked how he had
played certain cut shot, replied ::
II thought it, just as l hit the ball."
That is a good rule-"Think it."
The mind governs the clubs actions.

In addition to the actual disburse-
ments home builder has to make,
IL is customary to charge off 6 per
cent interest on his principal outlay.
Thus, our home builder had to lay
out 81, 100 in cash to build his home,
and, according to the rule. 6 per
cent of that sum, or 1925 a year,
should be charged to maintenance.
Why? On the theory that, if the
81, 100 had not been utilized in
building home, it would have been
available for Investment, and could
and would have been invested at 6
per cent interest. To those who
have studied both human nature
and the investment world, this rule
may seem TO take few things FOR
granted. However, If only to be
agreeable about it., let us concede
this to be BODYBUILDING obliga-
