A MAN CALLED CERVANTES. BY
Bruno Frank. Translated py H. T.
Lowe-Porter. New York: The Vik-
ing Press.
DON QUIXOTE is real to us; Ger
vantes is shadowy. Don Quixote
is the vagabond idealist who cav all
life as romance; Cervantes is merely
his creator. There was need for some
such book as this of Bruno Frank,
a biographical novel, to gather together
all the known fragments about the
life of CervanteS and then to add
enough delightful probable details to
make his personality as living as that
of the master of Sancho Panza and
the lover Of Dulcinea Cervantes lived
in the Spain of Philip II and the
Armada, in the time of ELIZABETH of
England and Shakespeare. Mr.. Frank
opens his story with a colorful picture
of Madrid, from which we're governed

and Flanders, and the fabulous Ell
Dorado beyond the sea-" The first
scene is an interview between Philip
II and the card'nal-legate sent by the

Col. Walker D. Wear, one of
the three boxing commissioners,
has a plan which may be given
an airing today. Briefly the Wear
plan calls for the four leading
contenders to fight on the same
night, give the winners an hours
rest and then let them meet for
the field. That plan sounds plaus-
ible but it is not likely to be ap-
proved.

and it is my notion that If ruth

thing else, they'll pay him no
great heed. Ruth had one good
day over in Newark a week ago
when he hit two homers off

the only good day Dean has
shown was the time he faced
Ruth and the Braves at ST..
Petersburg. The story is that he
stiffened his arm, pitching night
baseball after the last world
series.
If he did, it's hardly recon-

+ SALT LAKE CITY, February 2S.-
The almost impregnable fortress of
the Colorado River in Southern Utah
continues to hold the secret Of Daniel
L. Thrapp, 21-year-old scientist, who
left November 20, for the uninhabited
region to the southeast Of Hanksville
in search of ancient cliff-dweller ruins.
Young Thrapp, on leave from the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York, had only two-week food
supply, two pack horses and some
bedding with him when he left for the
wilderness.
Despite warnings that such a trip
was dangerous for a man to make
alone, especially in the dead OF Winter,
the youth moved into the unknown,
expecting to reach Winslow, Ariz,
after traversing the Colorado River
canyon.
Search for the young scientist was
