girls to have enough musical technique
so that they could play in a sociable

nagging Claire.
Finally she reached the end Of her

CHICAGO. Sept. l7.-uP-CEn
Tim Derry. an Irish giant Of St.

shoes?
This weighty problem confront

Derry never wore shoes until
two years ago. when he reached
his nineteenth birthday. Since
taking up boxing. the big Irish
man found it difficult TO move
about In the ring with shoes on.
SO he merely wears a heavy pair
OF socks. or sometimes battles IN
his bare feet.
Derry engages another Irish
man. Les Kennedy. In an eight

So it's up TO the commission.
The rule governing ring attire

letic apparel, but says nothing
about shoes.
