UNCLE WIGGILY AND HAPPY S
HOUSE

Once upon a time there were two
little rabbits. One was named
Happy and the other was named
Hippy. They were Uncle Wiggily IS
little rabbits and lived with him in
the hollow stump bungalow.
Happy was given that name be-
cause he was always so jolly and
happy, smiling and laughing no
matter what happened. Hippy got
his name because he was always
hipping and hopping Happy was
older than Hippy, but neither lit
tie bunny boys was very old, they
did not yet go to the Hollow Tree
school even in the kindergarten
class.
One day when all the other little
bunny boys and girls had hoped
to school Happy and Hippy were
left home in the bungalow to play.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. - Elec-

They can't vote The law won't let
'em.
In 1874 congress ruled that no re-
sident of the District of Columbia
could cast a ballot. The residents
have been complaining ever since,
but it doesn't seem TO do them much
good.
They thought for while a few
weeks back that they had an enter
ing wedge when the district COM
missioners decided they could vote
en- whether beer should be sold in
Takoma Park, suburb. The pow
ers-that-be ruled cut the beer vote,
later, on the old ground that voting
of any kind, except for beauty
queens, is illegal.
Many new dealers" not long
away from their homes, forestalled
the old law by resorting to absen-
tee ballots. The Democratic and Re
publican national committees OBJ
liged with information booths for
their benefit in the Willard hotel.
Election day nonetheless seemed
like an unofficial holiday, even
though all governmental depart
ments were supposed to be working
at full blast.

OLYMP A BEER

Olympia beer, the favorite beer of
the Pacific northwest, is again avail
able in Imperial Valley through
number Of dealers and will be dis
tributed by Haas Baruch and COM
lpany, California's leading wholesale
grocers, according to E. E. Clements,
manager of the El Centro branch.
Californians who lived here prior
to the advent of prohibition will
have no difficulty in recalling Olym-
pia beer because of its famous re.
freshing taste. The distinctive taste
of Olympia beer is directly traceable
to the water used in its manufac-
ture, for water is probably the most
determining factor in the quality of
he finished brew. 1t is the water
used which has made certain world
famous beers famous. 1t is because
of the water that localities becomG
famous for their beers.
The water used in the manufac.
ture of Olympia Beer comes from
subterranean springs, originating in
the Cascade mountains, and because
of its solvent quality, it extracts
from the hops and grains hidden
flavors-it gives the beer sparkling
life--it activates fermentation and
aids digestibility-it prevents chan
ges in the beer after it has been bot
tied.
To add distinctive flavor and bou-
quet, a bled of selected American
and Bohemian hops is used, and a
special yeast culture originating in
Denmark guarantees complete fer
imentatiCn.

Any time a duckpin tourna-

That's all the cost to enter the

And the reason. Of course, is

Neither Boxer Added
Much to His Record
In Bout Before 1900.

eabout was directly over my head
and the glove didn't even come
close to touching the top of
Ross trunks. There was at least
two inches of flesh to be seen
below where the blow dug deep
into Barney'S body, and it also
looked to be about as damaging
a punch as Petrolle landed.
However, it did not affect the
outcome Of the fight in any way,
or necessarily even the scoring
Of the round. In other words,
1t was q close round that might
have been scored either way with
out any question Of low blows.
II repeat, just the same, that
Mr.. Denning'S vision was ex-
ceedingly bad on that one.
After the Government tax was
taken out there was $33,212 left
in the tillS-a noble sum, surely,
for figh held on the outskirts
Of Little America. It was gen.
orally agreed that the fight
would have drawn sixty, maybe
seventy thousand in Madison
Square Garden. In one way 1t
was Just as well that it didn't.
It was by no means q $4,000
fight.
Tribute to Promoter
The tremendous sum it did
draw was a tribute to wonderful
job of promotion and the out
standing records and class Of the
two boys in the main match. So
it was a pity that one Of them
couldn't have turned in a fight
that would have added still more
lustre to his name.
Ross might have if he hadn't
somehow seemed to take up and
just box his way along through
the middle stages Of milling. But
I am still to be convinced that
the young man boasts a really
lethal sock. Until something
happens when he takes his Sum-
day peg at somebody, as he took
it at Wavering Will more than
once, Barney will go on being just
q nice young boxer in my book.
The Bronx Coliseum is a long
way off Mr.. BroadWay'S beat, but
Mr.. Broadway and in many cases
his good-looking lady friends, was
out in force. Which was another
reason was disappointed that
the show didn't produce more fire
works. If the Bronx Coliseum Is
going to remain a popular fight
club, they'll have to give 'em
more thrills than did Barney and
Billy.
That far up in the Bronx is
no trip to be undertaken lightly
and in the vague hope that some
thing exciting and worth while
will turn up. OF course, it's i'm
possible to hand out written
guarantee of a battle of GettyS-
burg, or even a knockout, with
every ticket. And it may be that
am being unduly captiouS over
this event.
Lost Hop Of Fast One
I wouldn't be surprised if Pc
trolle isn't really gettlng TOO OLD,
and if with his increasing years
he hasn't lost some Of the hop
off his fast one. They say the
legs are the first thing to go
and the punch the last. But
Bills legs looked better than his
punching last night. And If it's
true that he can't leave 'em for
the janitor any more, then Willie
should wrap his old blanket about |
him and bow his way out for
good.
He will take his last curtain
call without the necessity of
apologies. He always gave 'em |
the best he had. 1t simply begins |
to look as though that wasn't |
enough any more. and If So
well, then, so long, Willie.

The CrOu1d Was Great
The Fight Only Fair
And the Trip Too Long
By BILL CoRUM

..NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Barney
Ross, lightweight champion, out
pointed Bill Petrolle in an over
the-weight match in the Bronx
Coliseum last night. Nobody got
hurt.
Some $4,000 devotees Of the
cauliflower ear jammed their way
into the oddly shaped han that
had once stood in the Sesqui-
Centennial grounds in Philadel-
phia and had been transported to
New York piece by piece, like q
jig-saw puzzle. On seeing 1t Tor
the first time one wondered why.
Possibly to remind us Of Phila-
delphia.
Neither Ross nor Petrolle en-
hanced his fine reputation here
abouts. The Chicago lightweight
may be the greatest fighter we
have seen since Benny Leonard.
But last night he was only the
greatest we've seen since Tony
Canzoneri, If that.
AS for the old fellow from Fargo
II he still has that once dynamic.
ing punch Of his, he left 1t
wrapped in his blanket last even
ing. It was not wrapped IN MS
glove. And Petrolle without a
punch is Hamlet without the Dane,
cakes without coffee, Jesse James
without his horse, AL Smith with
out the records and Marlene
Dietrich without her. But let IL
go at that.
Jinx spoils "Naturals"
A strange jinx seems to hover
over these widely ballyhooeo
"naturals" Of the ring. 1t seems
to be a case of give two fighters
enomgh publicity and they will go
out and hang themselves. l
wouldn't want to try to remember
the ones I have gone to see an
steamed I'D, and came away from
all ironed out. In fact, I'd ratner
forget 'em; also all the exclIlng
things I predicted in my writings
before the event.
What damage there was done In
this one was done by Ross, eS-
pecially in the first two ROUNDS:
Barney came in like a lion and
went out like a lamb. He ripped
old Bill with a rousing right MD
way Of the first to win tnaG
chukker with plenty to spare, ana
in the second heat made gestures
that looked as though he mlgnt
be going for knockout.
AS the bell changed to end that
three minutes, he had the "old
gentleman" tired and WORLDLY on
his flatly planted do2s There
was one time in the second when
the black-haired, doll-eyed Jew
iSh boy had Willie hemmed in
a neutral corner, where ne
punched and pummelled him I'M
til it looked as though the one
time Fargo express" might
never roll out of there on his
own steam.
But Bill came back to outlook
and outpunch him from bell to
bell in the third and win the
round, and from there on the
best that could be said for the
bout was that it was marked by
lively flurries. So far as was
concerned, there vas never a
time after the second when it
looked as though q kayo might
be imminent.
Referee Off Color
Even Referee Jack Denning
was a bit off color in the fourth
round, when he called one low
punch against Petrolle that was
as high as the Chrysler Tower.
Denning took the round away
from Bill and said afterward
that he had hit low three times.
The other two I couldn't see
clearly.
But the first one Jack chirped
