The next battle scheduled 10 occur
on the trail that leads TO Mr.. Gene
Tunney and his highly priced pos
session. the worlds heavyweight
boxing title, is the unpleasantness
booked TO happen between Sailor
Jack Sharkey, Of Boston and the
high seas. and his contemporary,
Johnny Risko. lately OF the baking
business in Cleveland, O.
IL Il generally held by the man In
the street (and the man on the side
walk. too. for that matter) that the
big tar should be able to brush by
this Risko person with ease. Shar-
key met the ~boisterous Ohioan once
before. back in '25. and administer
ed a flogging Of 40 mean proper
tions.
But that was som three years
ago and the Rubber Man from the
banks Of the Cuyahoga has improved
nightly since. However, he looks
still too clumsy TO outlook Sharkev.
One point in favor OF Risko IN the
length of the bout. He has a hide
which q take almost unlimited
punishment and after a dozen rounds
Of bouncing blows off Johnny, Shar-
key Is likely 90 tire and then-who
knows?
This anatomy Of Risko IA one Of
the strange things to be seen along
Tin Ear alley. Scores Of terrific
punches have bounced off il without
disturbing him.
After eliminating Risko (Which he
may not be able to do by a long
shot) Sharkey must meet Tom
Heeney. the same fellow against
whom he hattled a feeble draw some
months ago.
Last year Sharkey whaled his way
through the heavyweight elimina-
tons and was on the threshold Of a
scrap with Tunney when the dark
form OF Jack Dempsey INTERVIEWED
and Sharkey wen bouncing on the
canvas.
Sharkey has won all but nine Of
his So fights. Ten OF his victories
came by the kayo route. He lost
four and three draws. Dempsey and
Romero Rojas are the only two who
felt the JOY or smacking the Bos-
tonian TO the resin for the full
count.

Which exercises. shall you do?
Listen while i tell youl
There's no earthly use in start
ing the day with that groggy, half
asleep feeling when there are
some simple exercises which will
dispel it like magic. And the nice
part of it is that the first stages
of the exercise routine can be
done before getting out of bed, so
that by the time your toes wrig-
gle into your bedroom slippers the
circulation of your blood will be
so stimulated that most of the de-
sire to linger longer within the
comfort of your couch will have
vanished.
As soon as you realize that you
are awake stretch out full length
under the covers and raise your
arms high over your head. Then,
gathering all your courage, swing
the arms forward until the finger
tips touch the toes. OF course,
you realize by now that you've
raised your torso from the bed
and that most Of the forward
bending has been done from the
waist. Let the body sink back
again and repeat ten times.
BY this time rising isn't such a
hardship and you'll feel equal to

the second exercise, so kick back
the bed-covers and swing the legs
upward from the hips (placing the
hands firmly on the hips to help
keep the balance) until the legs
are perpendicular in the air. Then
curve them back over the head as
far as you can. Repeat this ten
times and you'll have gathered
sufficient pep to hop out of bed
and do the head rotating exercise
which loosens up the muscles at
the back of the neck, the shoulder
muscles and clears away the last
remaining trace of sleep so that
you feel perfectly gorgeous!
Just drop the head forward
until the chin rests on the chest,
first taking an erect standing posi-
ton and being sure that your
chest is raised and that the should
n are pushed back, then, keep
ing the head perfectly relaxed,
turn it slowly to the right as far
as you can, then tilt il backward
as far as possible, then around to
the left and then forward again.
Rotate the head in this fashion ten
times to the right, then ten times
to the left.
Next comes the exaggerated
rinsing exercise which, so far as I
know, is entirely my own and
which is based on the action gone
through while rinsing clothes.

IL? Well, Cindy, IL didn't really
matter. though it certainly might
have hurt like sin. 1t just so hap
pens that my Dad is almost as
wealthy as your own Dad. And
now that we've ironed out that
trouble, tell ca you going
70 marry Ted as Delphine said you
were?"
did Delphine tell you I was
going to marry Teddy Pharr?"
Cindy's eyes were shining again
and she laughed softly, ooh,
golly, Id forgotten there was any
body else in the world"
She stopped as his arms went
about her, drawing her close in
a smothering embrace. His face
bending over hers. he demanded:
Finish it, darling-say it"
"But you," Cindy just had time
to breathe il before his kiss made
words seem so futile, SC useless,
so in-the-way.
And below them, the dancers
laughed and retorted as the radio
announcer remarked. This Is Sta
ton XYZ, Los Angeles, California
please stand by"
Struggled in the curve OF his
arm, planning now for a future
that promised to be as rosy as the
path Of dawn. Cindy heard some
of the couples below them calling
goodnight to others. Delphine's
voice rose above the scattered din
to implore:
"It's almost four now-and the
paper says if we stay up till four
we can tune in on Australia"
That calls for another drink
Teddy Pharr was wholly in the
party now that Cindy had left
him flat"
After a time the party broke up.
Only Delphine and Sidney were
left. Even the radio was whistling
with a chronic case of static. Cindy
and Walton St. John said good
night to each other once again. ex-
planning tenderly that the other
really must get some sleep"

bTFHE Lodge was built with a
huge living room in the
middle and a balcony up
stairs that overhung the entire
side walls. Downstairs different
rooms were entered by this large
living room, upstairs bedrooms
were approached from the balcony.
At the back of the living room a
curved double staircase led up to
the balcony.
Instead of stopping for the
dance that he had proposed, st.
John led Cindy up the stairs TO the
balcony. In the front a daven-
port was placed near the railing,
overlooking the room below. They
could see the dancers whirling
below them, and for a few minutes
they watched them in silence.
Then st. John turned to Cindy
and, taking her hand, ne asked
$50, you've decided that you do
love Teddy after all?"
"Why don't you attend to your
own affairs for once?" demanded
the girl, jerking her hand away.

fair? What, il I think enough OF
YOU to hope only for your happi-
