Dick Wick Halls desert bull frog is
dead. 1t survived SO long without
water that the webs beween it's toes
and fingers dried up and cracked
away, developing real claws like a
lizard. When the Ell Paso-Los An
geles stage line ran via Blythe and
Salome, the poor frog often got a
sprinkling from auto radiators that
boiled over, but since all the travel
goes by way of Yuma, Dick has lost
his bull, and the frog forever sleeps.

About Fights

BY LEO II. LASSEN

THERE'S no doubt but
i what Ted Krache and
Dode Bercot, the two young
logger fighters, are improv-
ing.
They are showing the inn
provement that only actual
experience In the ring can
bring.
And they are both getting
the best kind of experience in
that they are fighting capable
men. They wouldn't learn
anything by boxing push
overs, as they were given q
thoro course in meeting set
