with Dean. said Wolf was riding in
Deans car when it struck the auto
mobile of a friend in San Pedro. In
defending his friend from a charge
of being intoxicated, Mckinley
claimed Dean knocked him down.
The traffic nishap occurred only
a few days before Wolf threw the
Georgian from a San Diego ring in
an amazing" upset. Since then,
Dean has been olamoring for a re-
match with his enemy" Mckinley

NEW YORK, Dec. Is U.1 -
Charley Harvey, patriarch of box
ing managers, has stopped hollering
mo" to all offers for his Steve
Hamas to fight somebody while
hoping Max Baer might display
some eagerness to defend his world
championship.
Max Baer has done nothing but
monkey US around" Uncle Charley
finally said. So he cabled accep-
tance of terms for a bout between
his Steve and Max Schmeling in
Hamburg, Germany. March 10.
Hamas' end of the purse will be
$25 900. guaranteed by Walter Roth
enburg. Hamburg promoter.
Harvey signed for the bout last

and who stood a fair chance of get
ting in the last lick.
Louis should be told, if for no
other reason than to soften his dis
appointment, that the tougher he
gets the harder he will find it to
get fights. It's amazing how white
fighters are overwhelmed with a
feeling of Nordic supremacy soon as
q negro fighter gets hard to handle.

ST. LOUIS WIN
FIRST CHOICE
Of WRITERS

NEW YORK. Dec. Is U.P) - st.
Louis is riding on the shoulders Of
the World Champion Cardinals to
prominence as the capital of ath-
letic achievement in 1884.
The Cardinals victory in the Ma
tional League race and the. world
series placed them out in front
even ahead of Minnesota's football
GopherS-in team accomplishments
during the year according to a
United Press poll of sports editors.
The same group chose Dizzy Dean.
Cardinal pitcher, as outstanding in
individual achievement.
In picking the Cardinals the edi-
tors stressed the manner in which
the team won the pennant-in a
courageous stretch drive which
started Sept. Z, when they trailed
by seven games, and ended on the
last day of the season.
The Cardinals then entered a
tough series with the inspired De-
troit Tigers and battled their way
through seven games to leave no
doubt of their baseball supremacy
Among those who voted for Min
nesota, generally recognized as ma
tional football champion, were sew
eral who based their preference on
the team because it virtually won
one of the few clear-cut champion
ships football has known But the
Cardinal rooters outnumbered Min
nesota hackers by 80 votes in a
total of 295 cast, l68 to 78,
Others voted Columbia's Rose
Bowl victory over Stanford last New
Years Day and Stanford's play this
season into a third place tie with
eight ballots each.
In fourth place with six ballots
each, were the Detroit Tigers OF
winning the American League pen
nant and the Chicago Bears for
their string of victories in the Ma
tional Professional Football League
The rest of the votes went to the
New York Football Giants, Yale for
! its win over Princeton, Rice Institute
of Texas, Alabama, Navy and Col
/ lege of the Pacific, because of theil
football achievements.

black menaces come in cycles. Ever
so often, without warning. a negro
fighter pops up from nowhere and
starts bowling over the white boys.
When he has bowled over Suf-

black menace.
Peter Jackson was a black menace

20-year-old negro from Highland

In becoming a black menace,
Louis established a new all-time
record for speed, for seven months
ago his only claim to fame was

winning the national light-heavy-
weight title. Joe came up like

had only u fights, but right now
he's the most discussed fighter in
the business. The reason: Ten OF
the twelve fights ended with Joe's
man knocked colder than a mack

Charley Massera and Lee Ramage
were ranking heayyweights.
Charley and Lee. in the order
named, were the last boys to go

punching. He finished Charley with
a right, Lee with a left, which,
after much study, leads me to be-
lieve he can pour it on with either
fist.
And Charley and Lee are not
chumps. Lee has gone the distance
with Art Lasky, King Levinsky and
Steve Hamas, and Massera had
mixed it with the best around with
out hitting the canvas until Joe
bopped him with a short left.
If Louis streak isn't Just an
other one of those skyrocket flashes
that peter out after a brief ride
through the pugilistic heavens, he
is just what the doctor ordered for
boxing. The customers always have,
and always will, go for a guy who
can step out there and lay it on.

'"7Hc Modern aquarium ="

IA INTER is fish tank time" More fish
w and plants and glass aquara are sold at
this season than at any other. Fish shipped
in huge numbers during cold weather, for
transportation during hot days causes serious
loss The fish can travel thousands of miles in
big galvanized iron cans something like the
5, 10 or 20 gallon milk cans The fish cans"
are squattier, however. giving more room for
the inmates to swim around during the trip
There are few species of fish that can spend
a very long time indeed inside a can. Hot
weather does not affect them. There have
been cases where they have remained for years
in such contalner. It hasn't hurt them bit.
One of these species is the sardine, and the
other is the salmon. But don't imagine you'd
want to buy either one for your aquarium.
Some Of you want to know the difference
between aquarium" and "aquaria." If you
are studying Latin you don't need to be told.
For those that haven't yet taken up this ancient
language, I'll say that one fish tank is an
aquarium and two or more fish tanks are
aquaria The word has come into the English
language, and so we form the plural in the
same way that Caesar and Cicero used to do.

language. The boys poked their heads into the

platform, they saw the two acrobats gesticulat-
ing wildly at Ed Smiley, whose complexion was
florid with anger. He shook his fist in their
faces and blackly denounced them
In final burst of rage he showed of the
Blanes off the platform and kicked the other
so violently that he fell off, and with massive
heaves he threw the suitcaSes after them. Then
he stood quite still for a moment, breathing
heavily, and turned to stomp through the car

quickly pulled their heads back into the COM
