the COW that hooked the dog

That's the way the New York
boxing commission does busi-
ness. Through some nimble
method it always makes every
thing reach its own conclusion.
IF possible it will arrange some
common ground on which Pancho
Villa can meet Jack Dempsey

Nobody is quite sure just what
the Leonard Walker business
will prove outside Of the fact
that It may establish q deadlock

II; Walker wins he will con-
.tinue to be the candidate of his
party, and If Leonard loses he

behavior.
Everything is fixed up per-
fectiy satisfactorily to both
parties and it is beginning to
look as though Benny Leonard
will bequeath the lightweight
title to his eldest boy while
Young Mickey Walker, junior,
will undoubtedly inherit his old
mans shoes, trunks, and gloves.
Leonard has waded through
the opposition in his class like
q gallon of milk through q, day
nursery. He has absorbed
everything in sight and has
orders in for late 1924 delivery.
So far: he hasn't gotten q thrill.

 "Is that you, Joyce?" asked Avril, as she twisted her red-gold hair into pie turesque coiffure. Did you have a nice time?" she continued. Joyce had been invited to breakfast with a new star in the art Armament, which ac- counted for her being about so early.
 "Oh, wonderful, but what are you doing?" came the rather shrill tones of the older girl.

 "Oh, but my child," said Joyce, all solicitous as she noticed how shabby Avrifs coat was, you cant wear that. You must put on my new cape. It will look stunning on you."
 AS Joyce returned with the cape Avril's eyes glittered. What beau ty,' she exclaimed as she sliped it on.
 "Yes, think it is rather pretty" con- ceded Joyce, who knew that the simple lines of the black cape with its lining of gold would accentuate the dainty beauty of her friend. "Now let me have one look at myself and then I'll go," said Avril as she opened the door of her cupboard which was backed with full-length mirror.
 Good luck to you," said Joyce, walk. ing to the door of the studio with Avril Then turning towards her easel, she contemplated half-finished picture with critical eye till the insistent ringing of the telephone bell disturbed her.
