interesting.
What to our mind should be one
OF the most interesting fights Of the
heavyweight elimination contest
now under way. will be fought this
evening az the Yankee Stadium be-
tween Jack Sharkey and Tommy
Loughran. Everyone knows these
two battlers. Tommy. former light
heavy champ. and Sharkey, the
~loquacious Larruper OF Boston.
Sharkey has fizzled out horribly
several times, but that he was po-
tentially one Of the leaders has
never been questioned. at times
his fists have accomplished what
ne loudly detained they would; az
others they have not.
Sharkey is not popular. He's adj
mlttedly a good fighter when he
wishes TO be. but the crowd he
draws comes in hope Of seeing his
pan caved in. Tommy, on the
other hand. is extremely popular.
He IS one OF the few real champions
that have ruled any division for the
past five years. He defended his
light heavy crown regularly and
went after the challengers whe-
they did not come TO him.
Tommy should be able TO outpoin.
Sharkey easily but it may be a
question Of a knockout instead Of
points. In that event. It looks like
all Sharkey. ii Tommy can keer

look at the little figure sitting up be-

I have never seen him look like this"
Before Flip could move, Striped Chip
munk gave a funny little twist to his
head and disappeared in that hole. Flip
remained right where he was and kept
watch. He wanted to see Striped Chip
to wait. The head of Striped Chip
munk suddenly appeared just above
that hole. The little fellow took look
all around and then out he jumped
and away he ran. This time Flip was
sure that there had been trouble with
his eyes, for there seemed to be nothing
at all the trouble with Striped Chip

twice as big as it ought to be. 1t looked
as if Striped Chipmunk must have
a toothache or the mumps on both
sides at once. Certainly, his head was
all swelled out. AS before, Striped Chip
munk turned his head sidewise and
disappeared in that hole.
Flip was terribly impatient for
Striped Chipmunk to reappear. It
seemed as If he were gone long time.
though really it was only a few mo-

head did pop out of that hole Flip
just couldn't help giving little yelp
of excitement, at which Striped Chip
munk promptly disappeared. You see,
there was nothing wrong with Striped
Chipmunk's head this time.
There are two Chipmunks there"
declared Flip to himself. THAT must be

A TRIBUTE of admiration and af-

with such worder I could not even

we would follow her on the street
