Against Tom Heeney, another
plodder, Sharkey was never ami
mated by the spark of aggressive
ness after he had leaned his right
heavily on Heeney's jaw in the first
two rounds without visible effect.
He permitted Heeney to make the
fight.
Risko is another groove battler.
He can be depended on to hold his
own pace for Is rounds unless badly
punished by body blows. That was
how Heeney defeated him in De.
troit. Mere tapping, holding or
scuffling will not discourage him.
The Cleveland baker boy knows
only one style. He comes in flour
ishing his left for hooks to the head
or body. A clever boxer can "tie
him UP" at close quarters but he
always returns to the charge. 1t
is question whether Sharkey can
beat Risko by his chance to score
as Johnny comes in. A few rounds
of that might turn it into a purely
defensive fight for Sharkey. He
may tire coming down the home
stretch. His best chance to win
decisively is to exert all his skill
and strength in a smashing attack
early in the fray.
Sharkey is the faster man
and by far the better boxer. He
can punch effectively with both
hands and should be able to
break up RiskO's hooking at
tacks by simply stepping inside
of those long leads.
II endurance is to be the deciding
factor. Risko has great chance.
He is young and a score of gruelling
battles have apparently not Slapped
his vitality.
From all outward appearance,
Sharkey is in splendid condition.
He has worked hard in training.
Probably he was in better shape
week ago than he is today. he
dislikes to shift training quarters
and he had to do that last week
when the New York BOXING Com

Eight Distinctive Costumes
Worn By Dolores Del Rio in
Fox Drama "The Red Dance"

during the Mensheyik revolution in
Russia, a vast amount of research
work was entailed that the completed
costume. above all else, be authentic.
Miss Kay evolved a brocaded stage
costume, with full circular skirt, edg-
ed with peach colored fox fur. A
red velvet waist trimmed with bril-
liant studded embroidery. colored
jewel headdress and gold Russian
boots with red velvet band completed
the costume.
For a street costume of the period
there was designed a black velvet
dress. cut Russian style with white
satin underdress heavily embroidered
in colors, crystals and jewels
Another striking costume, which
enhanced even Miss Del Rios beauty,
consisted of black velvet coat with
border of white fox fur and white fox
collar and cuffs With this is worn
silver cloth wrapped turban and
Russian, fur trimmed black boots.
Yet another street costume is worn
with a black broadtail coat with
chinchilla fur collar and cuffs, with
a small black velvet hat finished
with a nose veil
Even the peasant costume worn by
Miss Del Rio in the earlier sequences
of the story called for the same de
tail and authenticity as the more
elaborate costumes There are three
of them worn by the dainty star, one
consisting of red flannel peasant
skirt with nude blouse and colored
stocking; another of purple flannel
skirt with blouse and petticoat Law
ishly trimmed with heavy lace and
another heavy crepe skirt and EN-
broidered blouse.
Four fascinating costumes also were
designed and fashioned for Dorothy

cess Varvara" in the picture. For a

 IN T0M HAYNES cAsE

As the result of the withdrawal last week of D. H. Williams and J. R..
 Campbell, as bondsmen for Thomas W. Haines, the former assistant post master of the Anchorage postoffice, who was bound over to the grand jury. some time ago on complaint of Postal Inspector Neil, was taken into custo- dy last Wednesday afternoon by the Federal authorities and is now in the Anchorage jail, reports the Anchor
 age Times. The bondsmen explain that they withdrew because Haines left the city last week without their concent and because of other conduct which did not meet with their ap- proval.
 The complaint upon which Haines was first taken into custody, accuses him of appropriating to his own use. postal funds totaling s3S45.56 alleged to have been collected on c. o. D. parcel post packages. It is stated that there were about 167 such col lections, ranging from small to large and extending over a con siderable period. Complaints made to the postal authorities and to con- signees by firms who had not received returns on parcels led finally to an and the arrest of the as- ,istant postmaster. When taken be- fore U. s. Commissioner Thomas c. l Price, for a preliminary hearing, l Iaines waived examination and was,l released on bonds pending the action ,f the grand jury.
 There is possibility that the case will be investigated by the grand jury | sitting at Fairbanks and the trial | leld here during the coming session | If the district court. If that is not | lone, the case will await the conven- ng of grand jury at Valdez.
