PAULINO ID MEET
 GODFREY TONIGHT
Spaniard and Negro to Minsle in
 Los Angeles Ring

New York. Feb. 2s UP)-Whlle attention of eastern fight fans Is cen- tered upon the approaching Delaney Heeney heavyweight bout. there will he real elimination fight at Wrigley field. Los Angeles. tonight
 Either of the principals in this bout on the Pacific ccast-Georee Godfrey. the ebony giant or Pauline Ezcudun, the squat Basque-would be more dangerous opponent for Gene Tunney than Delaney or Heepev
 The Bounding Basque has whipped both Delaney and Heenev. neither of whom has shown any disposition to mlngle with big black Godfrey. It ls T matter of record that Delaney won from Pauline on foul, but the circumstance are not always entirely told by the record books Those who saw the fight will recall that the Basque had Jack in distress at the time when the referee lntervened and sent Senor Uzcudun to his corner for striking an unintentional low blow
 Tom Heenev. who will have his most important fight with Delaney next Thursday night, admits that the Basque IS the toughest opponent he ever encountered.
 'Paullno hit me harder than anyone l ever fought" said Tom He won our first fight and held me to a draw in the next. I can not understand why he's not in this elln- inat,on tournament"
 Godfrey. of course, has been plac- ed definitely beyond the pale by Tex Rickard. and the promoter is in charge of Tunney's affairs for the time being. If the negro stops Pau limo, there will be many voices rais- cd against the race prejudice which deprives Godfrey of a chance at the heavyweight title. But the outcry will make no difference. Men white and hlack-raised their voices in support of the claims of Harry Wills to a, match with Dempsey when the latter was champion. Wills was not benefited by the clamor on his behalf and succumbed to old age without having chance at the title.
 Stopping Pauline will not prove any easy matter, If the Basques east ern performances are any criterion
 IL may he that the Basque by beating Godfrey, can work his way back into Richards good graces and another chance in the official "elim- nation tournament. Every one of the four boxers in the tournament has been defeated and discredlted within the past six months, with the exception of Slarkey And the Rcs- tonlsn was held 10 2 sad. slow. draw by Heeney.
 Heeney beat Fisl1o. Risko beat De l7ney. Heeney lost to Pauline. Hee- ney and Sharkey fought g. dlssr- pointing draw,
 Compared with this record the negro and the Spanlard appear to be more logical oontenders than Tom. Johnny or either of the Jacks.
 Tonight's y,ctorv-lf one comes- must. of course. be achieved sudden ly and srectacularly If it IS to make an impression upon eastern fight fans. For Godfrey to loll along in his usual ,ackadais,esl manner and outpolnt the Basque would be to eliminate both from further consid eration. Or for Fallino to wrestle his uav through an uninteresting bout and win the decision would be quite as useless.

A Costly YaWn.

| The news of the world has its comic
as we'll as its serious side. The digni-
fed Associated Press correspondent al
Berlin has seen At to send out to @
waiting constituency as merry a tale as
has hummed across the wires in many
day. At country wedding the bride
was seized with an uncomfortable de-
sire to yawn. which she did with such
vigor that she dislocated her Jaw.
Hurrying to a surgeon she got her
jaws unlocked, and ran rapidly back tC
the church, only to find that her yawn
had cost her bridegroom He. evil
IDENTIFY in huff, had left note saying
he could not possibly marry girl who
yawned on her wedding day.
The world will sympathize with the
gentleman in the case. Who, indeed
would want to marry girl who felt sc
about 1t. and right out in public, too?
This Is much too much! And there
we're so many ways in which the young
lady might have concealed her yawninr
proclivities She might have yawned
into her handkerchief. and thus made
out that she was weeping She might
have-well, she might have stified 1t.
Having ones sweetheart yawn In ones
very face Just as she Is about to marry
one--well. now. that is undoubtedly
carrying 1t a bit far just bit too far.
Men throughout the world will back
him up. But II the lady in the case
must yawn. let her do 1t carefully,
easily. not TO such an extent as to dis
locate her jaw. Such yawning or some
men are to be taken as authorities)
should be reserved for later years. when
such q dislocation might seem a boon
sent from Heaven.
