NOWADAYS you hear overmuch
IN about a mysterious thing called
form. Having become more than some-

have ceased bothering about the thing
myself, but it seems to have perturbed
numerous readers. Scarcely q day

Frankly, / have been unable to an

merous leading opponents of form !
still do not know what the darned
thing is. All that can make out of
the answers Is that it is-doing things
gracefully, according to the accepted
pattern, looking pretty as picture.
Naturally such an answer would be
disheartening to the average man or
woman. All of US do not have the
bodies of Greek gods or the superb
poise of Lynn Fontanne. SO, IT we
paid real attention to these replies OF
the masters, we might be too keenIy
aware of our lack of physical equip

the first tee.
That would be a mistake. You can

Creb Did Everything
Wrong, But Won Fights

There also was Harry Greb. Few
fighters ever have performed in as I'M
orthodox fashion as did this lad who
won the middleweight championship
of the world, was seldom out of the
big-money class and more often than
not was called upon to defeat oppo-
nents who outweighed him from 10 to
so pounds.
He never was a puncher, able to
end fight with one devastating blow,
as was another ring marvel and ring
freak named Bob Fitzsimmons. Largely
Gre5 won because his only claim to
fame was that he lacked all form. He
swarmed all over opponents who,
trained in accepted modes, were be-
Wldered because he did not fight their
way. ! saw him one night--probably
it was the time when he beat Gene
Tunney-slapping, wrestling, hauling,
doing everything wrong.
Time after time he started punches
with his left, shifted in mid-air and
landed with his right instead. To lead
with your right is to disregard one of
the strictest canOns of the ring. When
you do that you lay yourself open to
a Knockout, and l am not advising any
one to try it. Yet, Greb did it that
night, as upon many other occasions,
and-he got away with it. Later
talked with him in his dressing room
and made the usual bromide statement
about his doing everything wrong.
"Yeah," he said. "6ut won, didn't
l."
II was not a question; it was a state
ment. II it had been question, |
could not have answered it.
Neither could answer it now.
Somehow l cannot forget all those
lads who did it wrong and went home
with the titles just the same.

Brooklyn fans continue to protest

They argue, and for once it might be
advisable for the Brooklyn owners to
take note of the customers objections,
that the American league should take

the moat was not under Its walls, and
the pile seemed to rise from an island

the castle gateway, which must have
been twenty feet high. This was now
shut by vast curtains Of silver-gray,

straight between them, her horses

she went. We followed her under an
archway and into small courtyard.
In the hall my lady left us, to go

our hands, a servant led us to the ter

which seemed spread out like fan,

Gains Confined to Cities
Small Increases Over

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 21.-Seyere
weather conditions continued to have
an adverse effect on the flow Of BUSH
ness and trade last week, Dun g. Brad
street reported today in their weekly
summary.
Retail operations were slowed down
by SHOWS and sub-zero temperatures in
many. sections. Gains were confined
to urban centers and for all areas the
average increase In reteI volume over
the comparable period last year was
held down to l to per cent.
GAS undelivered orders accumulated
at shipping terminals. new commit
ments to wholesalers were reduced in
spite of urgent consumers needs" the
summary said.
Industry Holds Pace.
Lack of inland waterway facilities
and further congestion at warehouses
hampered some industrial divisions,
but operations generally were I'M
changed for the week.
I'm spite of the moderate increases
in retail sales IN some districts. the
strength of the demand that developed
for fuel oils, coal, heavy clothing, hard
ware and other urgent Winter necessi-
ties was not sufficient to offset the in
terest postponed in most items until
more comfortable shopping weather
will have arrived.
with the downtrend of retail dis
tribution continued for the second
week, orders to wholesalers in nearly
all branches were curtailed.
Spring Buying Incomplete.
while there was slight lessening of
merchandise needs, due to lack Of
stocks required for current promotions,
commitments were postponed until the
arrival of goods already specified.
Little concern has been attached to
this temporary slackening OF orders,
as Spring buying has been completed
only partially in the n.ajority of lines.
AS a result. an enorlf GUS volume OF
business will be thrown on wholesalers
in March, due to the early Easter,
which falls on April IL in contrast to
April 81 year ago."

NEW YORK, February 2l.-There
are two current lines of belief con-
corning Senator William E. Borah's
campaign for delegates to the Cleve-

/. That he actually is striving for
the Republican presidential nomina.

2. That he has no expectation Of
gaining the nomination, but seeks 10
dominate the convention in the fur
therance of his years-old fight against
the "Old Guard"-which he ctarac-
terized recently as that self-ap-
pointed and self anointed" group
pulling the strings" in the back
room.
Hopes for Voice in Platform.
Whichever is correct, it is certain
that Borah not only desires to have
powerful voice in saying who will
be the nominee but wants also to
have the important say in writing
the platform
To obtain the delegates necessary
to do this. he is campaigning against
the odd Guard" policy of unin-
structed delegations.
Late last month he brought his
fight into one of the citadels of the
old line leadership, New York. In
Brooklyn address, he issued this
warning:
Those leaders who think the Amer.
I lean people are going to return to
many of the old practices Of other
years and are leading the Republican
party in that direction are leading il
to defeat
His campaign in New York is in the
hands of w. Kingsland Macy, former
State chairman and bitter foe OF the
old Guard" which, as usual, wants
an uninstructed delegation.
Turns to Ohio.
The Senator next turned to Ohio.
Here, again, he went directly against
the desires of the State leadership,
which also fayors an uninstructed
delegation.

nois, where the State Committee has
