Believe 1t or not, but "Sharkey is through knocking down every unsuitable opponent that Madison Square Garden digs up for him"
 So beloved Johnny Buckley, his manager, at the height of an ora tion delivered in an attempt to justify the Boston heavyweight's re- fusal to fight Tuffy Griffiths in the star heavyweight engagement of tho winter at Miami.
 This observation post holds no briefs fir Griffith or for the Gar den. but 1t seems that if better ways a1e to be found to lower Sharkey's prestige, Buckley will find them.
 The picture of Sharkey, as d man-killer, knocking the heavy weights right and left, needs the artistic touch of the futurist The Boston sailor knocked out brace of light-heavyweights in somewhat unusual fashion, Delaney and Tom my Loughran, but otherwise his recerd since being stopped by Jack Dempsey shows no great amount of damage administered to the Tougher and tougher big fellows.
 Sharkey could not knock Mike McTigue off his feet. at a time when the Irishman was almost old enough to be the sailors father. The garrulous gob failed to dislodge Tom Heeney from his moorings or Johnny Risko, who won the de- cision. It may also be recalled that Sharkey had no relaxation last winter in the form of waiting for Young Stribling to get up off the floor of the ring at Miami Beach At one stage of this fight it looked as though Sharkey himself might dust the resin with his trunks.
 Perhaps Sharkey is critical of the Gardens persistency in picking op ponents who decline ot be bounced up and down.
 The new tumble rule, which seems destined to stay in the football rules for 1930. nevertheless is far from satisfactory to many old-timers. Ar thur M Beale, Harvard star in the sos (playing four years at quarterback focuses attention on these two points:
 "l) The present tumble rule is arbitrary and not logical. There is no reason why the defense may not run with recovered tumble. The ball has always been capable of being carried by offense and de- fense. That is the original fun- damental play in Rugby.
 Why rule that the offense may recover their own fumbles and

Small Grain and Seeds

WHEN you invest in a combine you

than head and thresh grain. You want an
honest-to-goodness harvester thresher
that can harvest and thresh all small grain
and seed crops year after under
adverse as well as favorable conditions
that is able to cut the grain regardless Of
whether it is lodged and tangled, short, or
light and fluffy. You want a combine that
gives dollar-for-dolar ~value-and more.
The Cormick-D eering No. 8 Har-
vester- Thresher is the combine that never
slips over the heads in lodged and tangled
grain and that gets the heads in extremely
short grain. 1t actually cuts a 4-inch
stubble. The long guards raise the
tangled crop-the sickle cuts it without
loss-it is delivered upon a grain-tight
platform canvas and carried evenly to
the cylinder.

Unique is the miguelete. Every

royal palace in Madrid out to the re-
hottest, humblest hamlets. the civil
guardsmen have the right of way
except in the Basque province Of Gui-

der, armed and trained as such, the
miguelete, instead of parading about
in idleness, has many civilian duties.
He carries all the official mail in the
province, conveys lunatics to the mod
ern asylum, inspects the roads, teaches
the illiterates to read and write, col
lects telephone tolls and also taxes.
A Basque is always ready with bet,
which is the common way of ending a
dispute about handball, tree telling,
grass moving, stone lifting, swimming,
about what weight his pair of oxen
will drag or the fighting powers of a
ram from his herd. On every bet
percentage is due and is collected by
the miguelete. 1t Is the miguelete
also who takes charge Of the savings
bank accounts, and so great is the
confidence he inspires among the
peasantry that old and young hand
over their hard-earned reales and
pesetas to this red-legged cop. What
prestige! Indeed, it has been proposed
that the League Of Nations study the
corps with a view to making it world

Sanderson was that unusual combina-

room in his brain for simultaneous

fired only one shot. AS his mind
functioned he knew, with considerable
relief, that it had been the stranger
at whom he had flung the bullet from
his rifle. The girl must have been in
the brush between him and the road.
What was she doing here, anyhow?
And how did this man know his name
was Sanderson? What was the best
thing to do now?

with bow to the young woman. She
caught sight of the holes in it and
her eyes dilated.

She felt the blood ebb from her heart
as she stared at him. Somehow, in the
rush of the moment, she had not been
afraid when she thought Sanderson
had fred at her. There had not been
time for fear. But now, with the evil
dence that red tragedy had grazed SO
near, stamped in the hat, she was
shaken.
