Finally the hocus pocus was
brought to q climax when he signed
with wills at Niles. Mich, for a
bout in which neither time nor
place was designated. Nor did the
promoters mention what they In
tended to use for money.
There was plenty of activity In
the other divisions, however. The
death Of Panclno Villa left the
worlds flyweight title vacated, and
at first the general tendency was
to confer the honor, per Sc. upon
frankie Genaro, the American
champion, who had gained two Of
fetal and one unofficial decisions
over Villa. But Genaro decided to
step out for canter with FideI
La Barba at Los Angeles and lived
to regret it.
In Barba, Olympic champion I'm
1924 and less than year out Of
the amateur racket, won q clean
cut decision over GenarO and to-
day Is generally recognized as the
worlds fIyWeight champion.
Only a few months later, Tod
Morgan, Of Seattle, knocked out
Mike Ballerino in the tenth round
and the gesture carried with it the
130.pound championship, making
two titles for the coast. Mike,
previously, had taken the title away
from Kid Sullivan on a decision.
The bantamweight and feather
weight divisions also produced new
rulers. Charley Phil Rosenberg

from Cannonball Eddie Martin

BABE
By NICK FLATLEY

The big hurdle is just ahead of
George Herman Ruth, the most
expensive piece of baseball ivory
the world has known. He Is try
ing to stage q comeback. The
next months will tell whether or
no he can succeed.
The Bambino is going to
Florida. That in itself doesn't
mean much, but in the case Of the
bad boy of baseball it's very
important item. Ever since his
famous suspension last summer,
George Herman has been trying.
He has peeled off some thirty
pounds. At the present writing he
weights 225, which is only a few
notches above his best playing heft.
He has been laying off the heavy
groceries, hasn't been gorging at
midnight and all that sort Of thing.
If be can keep to his present
poundage and report at the Yank
camp in ST Petersburg that way,
he win probably have another large
year In baseball. But, as we have
remarked, he's going to Florida.
The Babe has been offered q
job In the mortgage belt, as ath-
letic director for one Of the boom
cides. just what an athletic direc-
tor Is supposed to do is unknown.
Probably he conditions on real
estate agents, so that they have
sufficient endurance to throw
every northern banI1rOu that ap-
pears for q loss.
Whatever this job, George Her.
man will be large and important
figure in the money South. Pub
Lefty means riches, and the BAN.
bino can collect 1t anywhere In
large and inexpensive chunks.
He will be the fair-haired boy, the
idol of the throne. And it's adula.
ton that ruins him. He isn't nat
urally and deliberately a high flier.
But at the time of going TO press
he hadn't learned to say mo" to
the casual invitation.
Florida these days Is q runaway
champion in the banquet league.
The festive party, dragging out so
that the guests may see the re.
niarkable Florida sunrise. is the
proper thing.
Mister Ruth will be asked to

the gu-lori-ous sunrise at least seven
times a week.

sisters have fallen by the wayside
since the worlds most persuasive

Which is why we say that the

ahead. He's preparing to leave for
Florida, SO that he can keep golfIne

enough, but he doesn't know the
test that's In front OF him.

Here's One For Hot
Stone Story
TelIers

Here's an alleged true story
told by Bob Gilks, Yankee scout,
which may or may not be true.
In a red-hot game in Shreve-
port one day a line drive
bounded off the left field fence
and hoped into a tomato can,
which some one had carelessly
left on the field. The left
fielder couldn't get the ball out
of the can, so he threw can
and ball to the shortstop, who
threw them to the catcher, and
the catcher touched the runner
with the can as he was running
home. The umpire called the
man out, too.

his past career. He hasn't inhaled
a single hot dog or ham sandwich
In the wee small hours.
He hasn't been having two steaks
for lunch, and three for dinner. His
enormous appetite has been curbed.
He almost ate himself out Of base
ball and the world, but last sum-
mer's stomachache cured him OF
that trouble.

hasn't been hitting the high spots,

South, he will be ready for a year
Of real baseball. e
The 226 pounds that he carries
just now isn't soft fat. It's muscle.
The Babe has been playing two
past six weeks, rain or shine. He
was out, even in the three-day de-
luge a couple Of weeks ago, though
he couldn't find any companions.
Golf isn't violent exercise, but it
was just the thing to rebuild the
Ruth constitution, to strengthen the
legs, which went back on the BAN
last summer:
Babe Ruth was chased back
into the game too soon after his
operation. Everybody knows
that. He became sick and dis
cOuraged. He wouldn't train,
mostly because he couldn't.
His suspension came as q fearful
shock, and worked a world of good.
After Miller Higgins had imposed
the sensational fine. Ruth tried to
play baseball seriously. He wasn't
in shape, but he improved steadily.
In little more than a month, he
hoisted his batting average from
ESQ to .290. He was polxing out
home runs with his customary
abandon at the finish.
Higgins was smart enough to
know that the fine would hurt
Babes pride. The big boy Is like
q kid. The hullabaloo made him
mad enough to want to show Hug.
And he proceeded to do 1t.
If the Yankees can frame some
new method Of getting the Sultan
steamed up this spring, they will
have quite a ball player for them
selves. Provided, as previously
noted. that the Babe can get by
the lures and temptations of the
exotic winter life in the tropical
district,

Reames. "That's why you are under

The case was taken before Police Judge
Georgia Bullock, and it was put up to her
to determine the age-old question of "What
is art?" But she did not propose taking
the entire responsibility upon her Shout
ders. She asked that expert testimony
be presented. When the case came to
trial Francisco Cornejo, Mexican artist
and decorator, was called in, and he frank
ly, enthusiastically declared the paintings
to be original, worthy and freely drawn.
"a drawing or painting" he explained,
whether it is funny, gruesome or vulgar,
can have artistic merit. The color scheme
of the rooms and the painted furniture
in modern gay colors-such as the pea
cock green enameled photograph, the
black mantel and the Chinese red desk
give life and character to the wall-board
shack. All colors are beautiful provided
they are associated properly, no matter
how brilliant they may be.
"The tendency in modern art whether
in painting or decorations, is based on the
use of brilliant colors, properly harmon
lied. And whether the young girls had
or had not the right to expand their artis-
tic expression in the way they did, il was
their sincere aim to make their little board
nest a distinctive and gay place. Those

He brought in his pallet and
brushes and a copious supply of
paint-bright red paint, extrava-
giant green paint, mahogany
black paint, together with yellows
and browns and blues. And the
nice panels of wallboard afforded
him ample room for exhibiting
his talent. He sketched a bull
elephant in black, big, comical-
looking cuss with circus spots on
his trunk.
This was followed by the fig
ures of some fifty-odd unclad
men and women, done in red-a
beautiful red. Then he sketched
a satyr. Now, according to class
ical mythology. a satyr was a
creature belonging to a body of
forest gods or demons who were
the attendants of Bacchus. He
was represented as having the
legs and hind quarters of goat,
budding horns. goat-like ears,
and was described as being very
unusual. But Yarroslav's sketch,
when finished on the bungalow
walls. did not make him appear as
a thing of beauty.
Following completion of the
satyr, the artist produced a pair
of centaurs.
A centaur is a NEUROLOGICAL
beast. half man and half horse,
and tabled to have dwelt in an
cient Thessaly. Mythology re-
cites that the Thessalian centaurs
were invited to marriage feast
and, becoming intoxicated, be
haved with great rudeness toward
the women. They treated EN-
rough. The Lapithas, another
tribe, took the women's part, fell
on the centaurs and drove them
from the country. But sufficient
remained to perpetuate them IN
the annals Of mythology, and
likeness, as he conceived them,
was painted by Iarroslav.
The next creature inspired by
the artists brush on the bunga-
low wall was the unicorn. This
animal, according TO medieval
writers, had the legs Of a buck.
the tail Of a lion, the head and
body Of a horse. and a single
horn in the middle of its fore
head. This horn was white at
the base, black in the middle and
red at the tip. The body Of the
native unicorn is white, the head
red and the eyes blue. Ctesias
who lived about 400 b. c., sum-

THE unicorn is the only ami
