Jeff Smith, BayonIe middle
weight, is one of the marvels Of
the prize ring. Though he has
been boxing as a top liner for
fourteen years and has engaged
in almost 600 bouts all over the
world, Jeff apparently is just
as good as ever and still is
eager to get crack at the
middleweight title.
The secret of Smiths remark
able career lies in clean living.
It is doubtful if there is another
boxer VINO has taken as good

in shape. In all his career he
has lost only five decisions and
so far as is known never has
been knocked out or so much AZ

Neighbor Turns
Over Visitors
Auto to Police

4 good story has Just leaked
out on one OF our prominent
citizens which will bear repeat
ing if we don't use any nama,l.
Due to the recent activity of
thieves in his neighborhood,
this householder, when he heard
a noise in his back yard the
other night. made it his bust
ness to see what was going on.
AS he switched on his back
porch light, he declares he caw
q man hurrying away. He waH
further surprised when he went
out to find a nice, shiny car
"N -vpensive make in his back
yard.
--s immediately decided the
car had eithe1: baen driven in
and abandoned by an auto thief
or had been driven up with the
idea of robbing some Of the
houses in the neighborhood and
making a quick getaway.
So he got busy and called up
the police and suggested that
they como up right away and
take charge of the stolen"
car. They were on the spot
onto. ard after much painful
chugging, for the gas tank was
al.uUsr empty, Ilna4ly got the
car started and drove it to a
downtown garage for the night.
Early the next morning, the
o!izen's next-door neighbcr
came tap-tapping excitedly on
ths door, declaring that their
gue11's car had been STOLEN
from the jealous ones backyard
during the night.
Explanations aploaty follow
ed which showed that the afore-
said guests had driven in late
from a distant city and their
host, whose garage was filled
with the bulk of his own car,
mad suggested that he knew it
would be all right to drive their
machine into the comm y>dlous
backyard of the accommodating
friend next door for the night.
But in the excitement no one
remembered to so next door
and explain it all to the neigh
bor-hence, the mixup.
Anyway, hurried, trip was
made downtown the next morn
ing to recover the confiscated
car.
