Thc Ferocious JACK Rabbit.

T UNFORTUNATELY for the purpose
W of this experiment the giant jack
rabbit of the San. Joaquin Valley in
California, which roamed that terrain
before the gringo came, are now ex-
tinct. The San Joaquin Valley jack
rabbits were of enormous size and tre-
mendous ferocity. They were almost
entirely carnivorous, though when they
chased most of the game from the re-
gion they would sometimes gnaw at a
bit of quartz, more by way of keeping
their teeth sharpened than satisfying
their hunger.
Tradition says that the San
Joaquin Valley once was infested by
grizzly bears which used to prey on
the jack rabbits. One day silver
tip made the mistake of attacking
jack rabbit during the mating sea-
son. when these animals were very
i'll tempered. The rabbit few at the
grizzly, and In q short time rent him
limb from limb. In the struggle he
got his first taste of grizzly blood.

This is not the customary growl from

1T might interest you to learn-if
group of us out here on Long Island,
after studying the greyhound races, de-
cided to import very savage breed of
hare or rabbit. BY intensive breeding
and training We have made them super
savage and are now training them to
chase mechanical greyhound.
I'VE used live greyhound at first,
but in one race the rabbits overlook
the greyhound and wounded him so
badly that he had to be shot. Our
trials SO far have been very salts
trainers who are willing to handle
these dangerous animals. When
they are ready for private exhibition
we will let you know"
OF course 1t is not nice to turn the
savage rabbits loose on the timid grey
hound. But then it will be recalled
that greyhounds have been chasing rab-
bits for a number Of years, while the
rabbits; when cornered, always turned
the other cheek and were bitten in the
hams, which usually happens to the
animal that shifts cheeks in nix-up.
In the elder days can recall when
they used to have live rabbits for the
greyhounds to chase and the rabbits
were hunted In pairs, while those in
terested in improving the breed of the
greyhound by these crude means hoisted
their beer and wagered. It was a no
ticeable thing about these events that
nobody ever bet on the rabbit. The
rabbit never had a chance In the an
cient game Of CourSing.
OF course it may be cruel, but I
should like to see fast pack of rab-
bits In full cry after startled grey
hound. ANY greyhound has it COM
ing to him and I want to. be there
just once when the lead rabbit makes
his kill and the master of the hunt
selects greyhound foot for good
luck.
The only hitch in this experiment
is that the rabbit may detect the SUBJ
terfuge and discover that the mechani-
cal greyhound is phony, and that will
ruin everything. The rabbit always has
been the intellectual superior of the
greyhound and never starts anywhere
without destination, whereas the grey
hound merely runs

When you figure Sharkey's battles
against Heeney. RiSko, Christner, De
Kuh and Stribling, he would figure to
have little chance against the German
fighter. It will be question as to what
state of mind he may carry into the
next war, and Sharkey's state of mind
is none too easy to follow. Schmeling
will be the best man he has met, not
overlooking the Dempsey Of 1927.
Schmeling has a chance to be great
fighter if he is willing to work at the
lob and keep learning-to work for
more speed and for a better left-to
work something as Tunney worked to
get the best he has. He has more nat
ural resources than Tunney, in a physi-
cal way, at least. He has chance to
grab the old crown and hold it for
long time If he doesn't take too much
for granted. Few young heavyweights
have ever come along with as much
to offer at the age of %.
