"NIonkey Shines, "-Nfa

Sensing a laugh is one of the i'm
portant essentials in a comedians
work." says George Shelton, the
tramp comedian in Clark and Nc
Cullough's Monkey Shines" at the
Majestic newt Wednesday and Thurs
day. 'It is thing to design and
act a funny line or situation and an
other to send it in the right direction
toward your audience to obtain the
greatest response" the comedian
continues. Some members of the
audience are non-conductors of
laughs. That is; while they enjoy
it as heartily as their fellow mem
bers out front, they do not give any
outward evidence of their delight.
How half the battle of the comedian
is to get loud and hearty response
to his comedy. So when he strikes
the unresponsive one, he must
quickly turn toward someone else
who will give louder vent to his
amusement. The louder the better.
1t is surprising how one hearty
laugh will set an entire audience
off,"

a was gone. Police headquarters
was notified, and Lieutenant Calvin

warden's office at the county seat.
A short time later the Ellis garage
called headquarters and asked what

turned to its rightful owner.

FIRPO'S BODY WEAK

and Strengthen Legs.

New York, Oct. 13.-What the es-
Unable Senior Firno would do in re-
turn bout with Jack Dempsey, the
Dictator of Cauliflowerville, is a mat
ter of speculation.
Firpo's virtues are well known.
He can hit with all the muscular force
of an Infatuated Missouri mule. and
he is as game rs the citizen who ate
the first oyster.
Firpo's deficiencies are also no
secret. He is no ring general. is un-
skilled in the finer points Of boxing.
knows nothing whatever about in
fighting. is weak in the legs, and lacks
a rugged stomach.
In order to win from the American
heavyweight champion in a return
bout it will be necessary for Firpo
to correct as many of these faults
MS possible. He is an old bird, as
ring performers go. and it is not
likely that he can make himself over
and still be an effective battler.
@What he should do says Jimmy
De Forest. the noted trainer. sis to
adopt n training routine that Will
strengthen his legs and his stomach
muscles. And. of the two. his stomach
needs more attention. Dempsey hurt
him most with body punches and in
n return bout would again concen-
trate on what he nov knows to be
the Senor's weakest spot"

MTIGUE AND THE REFEREE
WERE NOT INUNDATED
"The Truth of the Matter" Given by Georgia News
paperman-Ertle, Scared Stiff, Thought Crowd
Surging Around Ring to Learn Decision Was
After Him and Changed His Verdict on
Stribling -McTigue Fight.

At no time dursng the conference
or at any other time were pistols dis
played as a means of compelling Nc
Tigue to fight, nor were any Of his
party in danger Of being injured.
AS championship battle, the bout
was farce, as stupid an exhibition
as has ever been perpetrated ON the
American public. 1t was evident from
the start that McTigue intended only
to stay the full ten rounds and to
carry out his intentions he he en-
ployed every known trick of the game
TO stall and delay the fight.
At the end of the tenth round Ref
cree Ertle hurried to the ropes and,
as he slipped between them. he held
out both hands in a horizontal posi-
ton. pointing to both corners.
Ertle Looked at 1t Wrong.
The crowd Immediately surged to
the ringside, not necessarily with any
intention of doing anyone bodily harm,
but simply to find out the result OF
the fight. since Ertle's action had not
conveyed this information. Police pro-
lection was ample and no one there
even so much as placed an offending
hand on any of the participants.
Ertles Imagination played havoc
with his judgment and thinking that
the crowd was of such an intimidating
nature, he entered the ring again and
awarded the decision to Stribling.
Three hours later, hidden away in a
private residence, with a Gordon Of

placed at the request of Jacobs, he
reversed that decision and gave the
official decision as draw.
The statement of Walter II. Rich
ards, city manager of Columbus, fol-
lows:
IL was present at the conference
preceding the fight and also close Ia
the ring when the fight ended and at
no time was there any intimation or
indication of violence. Those pres
emit at the conference did put il square
ly up to McTigue TO fight in accord
ance with his contract, but there was
no undue pressure brought TO bear.
The chief cause of confusion at the
conclusion of the fight was the un-
usual way in which the referee rem
dered his decision. No one under
stood the meaning Of the signals and
many hurried forward in an effort to
learn the actual decision. At no time
was there any danger of bodily injury
being done to any of those pres
emit"

FIRPO WONDERING IF
IT'S GOOD IDEA TO
GO HOME RIGHT NOW
Books Passage for Three
Different Days While He
Works Up Courage.
BY SPARROW MCANN.

Copyright. by The san Antonio Light.
New York, Oct. 1S.-Starting to-
morrow this will be a big seven days
in the life of Luis Angel Firpo. He
will decide whether it is safe for him
to return 10 Buenos Aires or not.
His uncertainty of mind is indicated
in the fact that he has booked for
three different sailings at three differ
ent times in the week. IL he gets his
courage up enough to sail on Tuesday
he will take that ship. If not he will
sail on Thursday. II timidity still
rules. he will sail Saturday. Then
maybe he won't sail at all.
Luis is exactly in the position or
guy who has three alternate dates
with the dentist. He may meet the
first date and have the agony over
or he may dub along and wait until
the last gun.
In his pocket he bears an official
letter from United States naturaliza-
ton authorities setting forth their be-
lief that Luis was the victim OF a
vast mistake when he applied for citi-
zenship in these United States. You
can picture him walking down the
gang plank at Buenos Aires with this
letter held out in front of him, not
knowing whether the bouquets hurled
at him contain iron flowers or sweet
smelling posies.
Luis mental mechanism works pref
ty fast in the ring, but elsewhere 1t Is
liable TO mesh gears. This was the
case in this naturalization scheme OF
his. He got carried away with love
and enthusiasm for the American peo-
pie over the manner in which they ac-
cepted his efforts against Jack Demp-
sey. He saw more money TO be made
here than the Argentine promised and.
since money is his ruling motive. ne
accepted the advice of some misguided
cake-eater friends-you know LUIS IS
great cabaret dancer-that he would
be more of a card if he had the baliy-
hoo of patriotism behind him,
1t didn't occur TO him that his ma
tive land would 60 up in the air. just
why il didn't no one can tell, MAYBE
Luis is man of one idea. mat Is
the way he strikes those who meet
him. Anyway, the scheme made pig
hit with him and he hurried 10 the
naturalization bureau with what re-
suit now is widely known. -
His change of mind was due TO
tabascoesque cables and mlssives he
received forthwltn from soutn AHSA'
lea where his father and other mem
bers of his family hold government
positions.
Luis has convinced Americans that
he didn't mean what he did and the
fact has not affected stock values oil
caused international complications
here. SO far so good. But how abou
the Argentine? While Luis Is assur
ing himself as TO this he Is delayinI
his departure from the land which n
courted and then turned down.
All being prepitious. Luis viii =
10 the Argentine. spend the winte
there and return to this country u
the spring. He will take on severn
good opponents. all leading up. to
