PATTERN 1887

You can see in the sketch
how it looks on a young figure
with its smart double shoulder
ruffles and its gay little sash!
But, if you use your imagina-
ton a bit, you will realize that
an older woman can wear it
charmingly also. That front
panel gives height to the figure
and creates an illusion of slen-
derness. It is not necessarily a
print frock-it makes up de-
lightfully in a plain chiffon or
voile and you really couldn't
do much better for one of those
dark georgette frocks which
are so often lifesavers in warm
weather.

Where Fighters Boast But POpeye Wins On 1t

eyes and treating them with
leecheS and other old-faShioned
remedies of a like nature, but
that was the first time I'd ever
heard of a guy eating grapes
to offset the effects Of a physi-
cal beating.
It sounded mighty odd to me,
but James insisted it was the
Mccoy and went on to say that
he was the owner Of several
health stations" in the North
west, where the chief articles
of diet suggested were bran,
nuts, grapes and the like.
OF course, bran is for horses,
nuts are for squirrels, and
grapes are best when pressed,
termented and bottled.
Regular Banquet
But alongside of spinach they
shape up a regular banquet.
They at least taste edible. All
but the bran, anyhow. And if
you put enough sugar and
cream on that you don't know
it's bran.
Whether McLarnin still has a
personal and business interest
in the food-fad racket I don't
know. Wasn't there something
il. the papers recently about
his owning a soap factory?
Well, he's forever blowing
bubbles if he thinks this young
fellow Ross is going to be a
soft assignment. Spinach or no
spinach, the Chicago boy is big,
strong and ready-money look
ing.
Barney Ross knows this is 60
ing to be the fight of his life
and he is getting ready to make
that sort Of fight. If he winds
up with resin in his ears it
won't be because he didn't train.
Pop" All Wrong
And another thing. You can
throw out Pop Fosters plaintive
and belated plea from Atlantic
City that the bout is a handicap
match and not for McLarnin's
welterweight crown. In my
mind and yours and the mind
of every other boxing fan, Bar
ney Ross will be welterweight
champion the minute "the
beaut" Humphries-raises
his hand over pops boy.
McLarnin can't be saved by
any technicality. Public opinion
will take care Of that. Pop and
Jim mustn't want the best of
it always. They have always
managed to have a pull in the
weights, which, to be honest,
wasn't their fault. Rather it
was smart matchmaking on
Fosters part.
But they are going in there
with the best of it and if they
can't win, they don't deserve to
keep their title. It's a bromide,
but true, that you can't have
your cake and eat it. Your
spinach or your bran, maybe,
but not your cake.

Major Miller informs those who
desire to become referees that

be accompanied by check for

be good ones, as the "commish"

. FERNDALE, N. Y, May IT,
Barney Ross, lightweight cham
pion, is here at the GroSSinger
Country Club training for his
fight with Jimmy McLarnin one
week from next Monday night.
Ross looks great. He is training
on the Popeye plan. Naturally
you know Popeye. He Is the
boisterous, biting sailor with the
heart of gold, who can lick any
ten men in the house with one
hand tied behind him. Not only
can, but does, every week IN the
Sunday paper.
Give him enough spinach to
eat and Popeye fears nothing
that lives and breatheS. While
it is not exactly pertinent to my
present point, I'd be willing to
bet that Popeye has started
more kids to eating spinach
than all the doctors, nurses and
parents in the world. He ana
Mr.. Segar, who created and
draws him, should be the joint
patron saints Of the spinach
growers of the world.
From Way Back
ANYHOW. this Ross is a spinach
eater from away back. Prac-
tically an addict, in fact. With
out batting an eye, he admits
that spinach is his favorite fruit,
flower, vegetable, or whatever IL
is. I have never personally got
close enough to the stuff to find
out.
But his weakness for spinach
may explain why Barney took
the McLarnin match IN the first
place. I suppose that after a
fellow has eaten a certain
amount of spinach, he has
enough sand in his craw to
tackle a buzz-saw. And further
more, what has a spinach eater
got to lose? If his case is in
durable, the sooner life is over
for him the better.
Now that this secret Of the
lightweight champs double life
has been exposed, the coming
fight should prove of consider
able interest to dieticians, be-
cause McLarnin also has some
odd ideas about eating.
After the first Petrolle fight
the one in which he took such
a sound drubbing-Jimmy was
in hiding for two or three days.
I recall it distinctly because I
had been tipped off that he
might quit the ring and get mar
ried, and something like that
was in his mind at the time.
Grapes Make Him Normal
When I finally caught up with
him he admitted that he hadn't
been feeling exactly at tops,
adding that he had been taking
it easy and eating a lot of
grapes to help him get back to
normal again.
Now I had heard of folks
putting raw beefsteak on black
