MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 20-- Florida has gone fight-minded in advance of the Stribling-Sharkey imbroglio, February 27. and the whispering pines have taken to whispering words unusual so far south of Madison Square Garden.
 The Boston sailorman and the Striblings' pride and jo yare meet ing under noble auspices, what with Jack Dempsey co-starred as promoter, but the air is full of vapid ponderings as to what, after all, these two are fighting for oth- CT than slabs of negotiable securi- ties.
 These two are seekers after the crown left vacant when Gene Tun- ney gave up road work for walk ing tours. Whether this vacancy is not too large to be filled by the winner of single fight, even. such fight as this, is the question now on the blackboard of pugi- lism's contender class.
 The winner of the fight is fairly certain to do bit of claiming. He might even seem to be in a posi- tion to do bit of claiming, for the fight was arranged by the maker of champions, the late Tex Rickard. It was intended as a remedy for that aching void in the

l ock kbox reserved for $1,000,O0O gates.
 The loser would seem to face dive into the troubled waters called, for the lack of a better name, elimination contests, these waters are already so troubled that progress therein is largely a mat. ter of relativity.
 One thing is certain, and that is the public's keen interest in the fight. Stribling's home is just over the Georgia line, and the Empire state already has set up a sort of colonist government. Shar- key is better known among the well-read ring fans, and his camp is closely packed with gentlemen wishing their overcoats had been left at home.
 The garrulous goD and the chap who was once a Georgia school boy are not approaching t h e r fight with the velvet politeness which marked the meeting of Tun- -ney and Tom Heeney. They have been broadly humorous at each others expense and have predicted for themselves easy victories.
 Sharkey is three or four years older than Stribling. He has fought most-of the good ones and won from most of them. He ap- peared opposite Jack Dempsey in No. 1, Vol. 1, of the elimination .serie e of 1927. The Manassa Mauler put him down with right and a left. The sailorman pro tested the right and was convers- ing with the referee when the left sneaked in.
 When Tunney repeated, it was Sharkey's cue to beat back again. He got a draw with Tom Heeney and fared none too well with John ny Risko. He was ranked just

behind the Mauler at the start of 1929 and began the year with a close decision over K. o. Christ ner, the Akron rubber tire man.
 Stribling claims the worlds reca ord for knockouts. setting up a figure of 113. Most of his fight ing has been done down below the line of big gates, and his victims have been chiefly unadvertised fighters of the vicinage. His occa- sional sorries into greener pas lures aroused no furore until his victory last fall, which caught the i eye of Rickard. It served to dim the memory of the unimpressive goes with Paul Berlenbach and Tommy Loughran.
 The fans down here have decided that Sharkey is a slugger and that Stribling is a boxer. It is axio- matic that fighters must be one or the other. The Stribling camp says 113 even unknown pugs are not kayoed without a little slug ging. The Sharkey camp suggests that nobody lives as long as Jack without being something of box CT.
 In the meantime both camps are thick with lightly dressed fans. Across the way yellow lumber stretches up to the sky. In an of flee Jack Dempsey counts and re- counts reams of money orders.
 Up north, out west, in New Zea- land, other contenders sit tight and smack their heavy bags. They are waiting for somebody to claim something. And possibly, they remember that whichever way it goes there will be one less to be considered.

"BUY A LOG"

About the first week in June, right after school closes, tho Boy Scouts go for their two weeks encampment at Eagle River Bar. where the Forest Service has set aside plot for them.
 To the boys this is the most important event of the year. Ev- cry incident of last years camp has been discussed hundreds of them. For next years camp they have been scrimping and saving and dreaming for weeks and months. For each boy must bring $10-earned money. Ten dollars doesn't pay half of it, but the rest of the expense Is paid by various religious, civic and fra ternal organizations. If his fam fly has played in tough luck and he can't raise the $10I he is taken anyway, but he isn't told that till the day before. "Oh, Boy; it locked tough, but it's alright now"
 Heretofore the boys have lived in tents and the weather has been kind. Practically no rain; but this luck will not always hold; maybe this year it will start to rain quite a bit and some anxious mother will be just sure that Johnny's blankets are damp and he is catching his death of cold" And the next day will see the end of that camp for moth- er's fears are catching. How would you like that to happen to you?"
 Cabin as Reserve
 There should be a big, warm dry cabin so if Johnny gets his blankets or clothes wet there is place to get him dry and the camp goes merrily on. As long as conditions permit he will con- tinue to sleep in a tent-what is so romantic as a tent-and If he has to move into the cabin that is fine too, for was not Abe Lin coln born and raised in a log cabin? And lots of "fellers" nev- CT had a chance to sleep in a log cabin.
 There are other very good req sons for this cabin and the Boy Scout Council is urging you to buy a log. The members of the Scout Council are giving their time and money, too. With the help of some "old boys" the Council thinks it can erect suit able cabin for about $10 a log. The more money the bigger the cabin. Look over your budget and trim it a little here and there and Buy a Log" or two logs, or three logs-go as far as you like. There is no overhead expense in building this cabin; svey dollar will do its full work
 Quite a number of "Old Scouts" will contribute one or more logs to this cabin. Get you name on this list at once. All names will be published later if there is no objection.
 Closes This Week
 The campaign closes this week. Mail all checks to Secretary, Boy Scouts Council, Juneau, Alaska, ,r if more convenient hand your
