MY FIRST RECITATION

I got a great big notion,
To recite in public once;
was not bad looking,
But guess I was Ounce.
I found a nice selection,
1 learned it line by line.
Got all the motions to a I,
Thought I was doing fine.
There was a great crowd at the church
It was a summer night
And when 1 saw so many folks,
1 guess got stage fright.
My name was called, I sauntered forth
My heart went pit-a-pat-
But where, oh! where, was the first line
could not remember that.
I rubbed my hands, tried to smile,
My tongue just seemed to Freeze
could not control my feet
Got shalky in the knees.
Some one had placed nice bouquet,
Upon the altar there
got hung up in it, and it
Caught in the preachers hair.
His hair was false, and soon came off,
tried to run you see
But some of the thorns were in his wig
And some were fast to me.
I made one last attempt to flee,
With roses, hair and all
But the preacher caught me by my coat
And got an awful fall.
OF course, I landed wrong side UP
Upon a matron's lap
Another one whose ear I kicked,
Gave me an awful slap.
Someone had raised window
went out like a flash
I would not go back into that church
For all of John DIS cash.
When got home, I packed my grip,
left that town behind
But never to this day have I
Remembered that first line.

STRIBLINC HAD
HARD Time FOR
BOXING CAREER
First Professional Battle
Brought Him No Funds

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 31.-For
the first time since the days of
rugged Marvin Hart of Kentucky,
who clair e d the heavyweight
championship OF the fistic world
after the retirement of Jim JEFF
ferries in 1904 has the South a
white 1S-karat heavyweight con-
tender.
w. L. Young" Stribling, the
Dixie hope, who fights Jack Shar-
key, February 81 at Miami Beach,
was born and bred in Georgia, the
heart of the deep south.
More t III an eight years ago,
Stribling, then a featherweight
Hedging 16 years of age, fought
his first professional fight in At
lanta. 1t came as a gift from his
acrobatic dad who had taught him
to box and guided him through
successful gymnasium bouts. PA
had promised his SON that on his
sixteenth birthday he would be re-
warded with his first real prize
fight.
The elder Stribling sought out
the late Walk Miller, then a bud
ding fight promoter in Atlanta, and
asked for chance for his young
son to do some boxing.
Miller was reluctant. He wanted
the youngsters record and looked
askance on the few gymnasium
skirmishes. &
PA" Stribling made the desper-
ate suggestion that his son be
placed on Miller's next card for
nothing Just his expenses from
Macon to Atlanta and return-a
few dollars" Pa asked. THAT
will be all we'll expect"
The eagerness of the father made
an impression on Miller and he ac-
cepted the arrangement. The re-
suit was that Stribling was match
ed for a four-round bout with a
rugged little newsie, Kid Domb.
Stribling won.
Again the boy offered to fight
without recompense. Miller made
another arrangement whereby the
youngster was matched with Tim
O'Dowd O'Dowd lasted for two
minutes of the first round.
Shows Cleverness
Still Miller was not sold on the
youngster and third bout with
out remuneration-wa agreed to
by the Striblings. This time w.
L. was asked to defeat the rugged
Kid Maple, another Atlanta news
boy, who knew something about
smuggling. So clever was the
Stribling defense and so deceptive
his attack that he outpointed Nap.
pie in four rounds.
Successful in three matches with
nothing to show for it in the way
of finances. Stribling and his dad
decided it was high time, to de-

board of the American Automobile

The ruling is of utmost impor-

much to the board itself Still
there was unmistakable enthusiasm
over the pending return of one
of the colorful figures in the early
days of twentieth century speed

There was Stein, just specta-

proved less adamnant.
The remuneration, however, was
small in comparison to the nearly
$4,000 that the young Georgia
heavyweight will receive for his 10
rounds with Sharkey. In building
up to this bout, w. l.. has engaged
in nearly $50 fights.
His largest previous earning in
a single bout was $27,500 which

Explains His Picture.

"WAGON freighters were breed Of
men, whose services in winning
the West have received little recognt-
tion," according to Ken Maynard, who
appears in 1.-THE Wagon Master" his
first talking Western epic, at the Rialto
Theater. These men hauled supplies
to isolated mining camps and Army
posts in a day when transportation was
a matter of extreme difficulty" May
nard explained.
THE very life of the early Western
communities depended upon the strength
and courage OF the men who hauled
food supplies through rough and dan
gerous countries. The wagon freighters
were a hard-fighting. tenacious crew
that stopped at nothing when it came
to getting their wagons through to their
destination.
THE theme Of my picture Is the fight
for trade between honest and dishonest
wagon organizations. Food prices in
the early West were necessarily high.
When the wagon freight trade got into
the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS mOnop-
oily the camps served were faced with
ruin"
