UNCLE WIGGLY FINDS A
PENNY

When the Bob Cat with his silly
little tail no larger than a baby'a
thumb awakened in his den one
morning, he was hungry.
When the Fox, with his fuzzy tail,
as large as a busting brush, awak-
ened in his cave one morning, he
was hungry.
When the Wolf, whose tail wasn't t
quite so large as the tail of the Fox,
awakened in his den one morning,
the Wolf was hungry.
But there was nothing to eat in
any of the dens of the three Bad
Chaps.
I'll go see Bobbie," groWled the
Wolf. He may have something to
eat in his den" And the Fox, like
wise, said to himself:
I'll go see Bobbie. He may have
something to eat in his den even if
he has a silly little tail no biggeI
than a baby's thumb"
So the Fox and the Wolf, both
very hungry, went to call on the
Bob Cat. But when they got there,
his cupboard was bare, like Mother
Hubbard's, and the Bob Cat was also
hungry.
Il was just going to see if either
of you chaps had anything to eat, .
meWed the Bob Cat.
Easier Said Than Done
mo use going to my den,' said
the Fox.
NO use going to my den," said
the Wolf.
Then what are we to do?' asked
the Bob Cat.
Catch Uncle Wiggily!" snarled
the Fox and Wolf together like
twins, though, of course, they
weren't.
That's easier said than done, -
said the Bob Cat.
This was very true. Often and
often the three Bad Chaps had tried
to catch the rabbit gentleman, but

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-There are
few out-of-toWners so well known
in New York as the Texas newspaper
publisher Anon G. Carter. And in
turn no visitor is so keen in three
sheeting his own town as Carter. In
festive moments he is likely to
loose three cheers for west Texas
with a special yipee for Ft. Worth.
Wherever Carter goes he is usual
1y recognized. Comedians banter
with him from the stage, masters
Of ceremony make him stand for a
bow and there's scarcely a cop in
midtown that does not salute. He
is surtOuted up to the minute, save
his hat, which is pure Stetson
Texas.
He often teamed up with VIII
Rogers when they hit town to-
gether, and to slide in a word edge
wise when they were IL harness be-
came something Of an achievement
Indeed an impossibility. Among his
other cronies in New York are Lee
OlWell and Gene Crawley.
Carter began his picturesque and
successful career as a, house tc
house canVasser for those horrend-
Gus chromos once decorating SO
many front parlors. To hear him
recite the high pressure chafferinp
he used 10 indulge with housewives
is as much fun as anyone could
have.

contended that the official use Of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - II
anyone still doubts that NRA Is
dead. let him doubt no more.
The guards at last have been
taken away from NRA'S once
humming mimeograph machines,
and there could be no surer sign
that NRA no longer has anything
Of Importance to do or say.
At General Hugh S. johnson
order, guards were placed at the
doors in the corridor near the
mimeograph room in the hectic
summer of 1884. That was back in
the days when Johnson and Clar-
ence Darrow were exchanging daily
denunciatory statements and when
NRA was issuing many announce
ments which neWspapermen and
business men alike sought to OBJ
tain in advance.
Even when johnson left and
MIRA slowed. the press releases
were too dull to interest anyone,
the guards remained.
The supreme court found NRA
invalid the monographs rolled
out copies of the courts death SEN
tence, and still the guards stayed
on.
But now they have gone at last,
End the comparatively few visitors in
NRA's once-teeming corridors can

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal. Feb. 3.--John w.

 He reports that percentage bas- ketball"-the deliberate style where the ball is carefully worked through for close-in shots instead of blaz- ing away from afar-clearly distin- guishes midwestern teams from those in the rocky mountain and coast sections.
 This seasons tour was the second in three years for Bum, former University of Kansas ace, so he knows whereof he speaks.

 After getting in bad with the management by getting married and helping lose the first game to Vancouver, B. O., to 4. Venne settled down to the business of protecting his goal and his happy nome, and allowed only 10 points in his next dozen games.
 The management didn't think much of Venne before the season started and tried to make a deal for new net tender, but now 1t wouldn't trade the partly bald benedict for a whole team of players.

Rejuvenated, perhaps by the thought that they soon will be in a p,ayoff for the prep champion ship of Southeast Alaska, Juneau High Schools basketball team play ed a good game last night on the high school floor to defeat the Moose, 37 to 26.
 The less sent the Moose down into the depths of the City Bas- ketball League cellar. It was the first prep win of the second half, but it well was deserved. The high school quinetet, in spots, again locked like a ball club that might go places.

scores of games his team played in various sections to prove his statement. In the Big Ten area the scores are low As you move into Kansas and Nebraska they mount little, and when you strike the Rocky Mountains you see play CTS leave defense to the winds and dog the ball until they drop.
 Basketball in the Big Six area is nearest the type played on the Pacific coast, Bum said, but few are the teams he has seen out here which can equal the finesse of those in other sections where Stanford has played
 Fans know their basketball back in those sections" Bum comment ed. Where we on the Pacific coast keep up constant chatter on football, they spend their words on basketball. And they aren't al- ways as partisan. If player con- tributes something outstanding to the game, he gets the crowds ap- plause regardless of his side.
 Using the percentage game, players in and near the Big Ten naturally make fewer mistakes be- cause they take fewer chances. As ] result, their exhibitions are much more polished than those we stage on the coast.
 Basketball seems definitely on the upgrade on the Pacific coast, and I think that the reason for that may be attributed to the in- tersectional games and tours which are now becoming commonplace. |"

SHARKEY SAYS.
 JEFFRIES HAD
 GREATER CLASS
Baer, Tunney, Even Jack Dempsey Did Not Equal
 Qualific ations

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IS. Max Baer's looping right hand CTS, the ring generalship of Gene Tunney and the ferocity that be- longed to Jack Dempsey wouldn't combine to equal the fighting quail ifications of James J. Jeffries in his prime, in the opinion of Tom Sharkey, the old time sailor man who fought in the gay nlneties.
 In 1899 at Coney Island, Jeffries whipped Sharkey in a 25 round title match.
 'The Jeffries of that night would have beaten Baer. Tunney and Dempsey one after the other with out halt says Sharkey with grim earnestness. Jeff could do everything; punch, box and take it. He was trained to go 100 rounds if necessary.
 T think I was the best trained athlete in the world for my two fights with Jeffries. He beat me in 20 rounds in 1898 at San Francisco and the next year at Coney.
 Tn the second fight, hit him so hard with left it knocked my left shoulder out of it's socket Two punches to the jaw which I swear would have dropped horse didn't even make him blink his eyes. While was reaching his chin he banged me with right that broke three of my ribs. There was 8 bump the size of an apple on my side to remind me of that punch.

 Another thing, two other prep sters, Henry Meade and Walt Scott, center ands guard respectively, showed much improvement. Meade, whose biggest weakness has been his defensive play, checked big Roland Gissberg of the Moose to no field goals. Scott, who on the other hand, has been lacking in of fensive drive, showed plenty of that quality last night.
