OLD OPIE-WADE light

Patsy Sullivan, who is a book of
knowledge on things fistic of 80 to 40
years ago., slipped me some information
the other day concerning n wager
made on the Howard Opie-Jack Wade
fight, which took place at the Five Mile
hotel many years ago. The story of that
ring battle appeared on this page re-
Gently. Wade, as you recall, won, al
though up to the time he threw that
beaten man.
Patsy recalled a bet made by Charley
Clark and Tom Kinds. Clark bet SIS, 900
to S $500 on Wade. Before Opie entered
the ring, Kinds told the Butte boy of
the bet, promising to give Opie the
five grand if he won the bout.
Maybe you think Howard didn't try
to win that fight" said Patsy, who loves
to reminisce about fights and fighters

to be a glutton for punishment. Though
badly beaten, he had a faculty Of get

Looked Aside, and Lost
Howard deserved to win that fight
and did-only to lose it," continued
Patsy. He lost it because some friend
in the crowd diverted his attention.
Wade had just got up from the floor.
He was bleary-eyed, almost helpless.
Howard rested an arm on the ropes,
watching his opponent, who seemed
too spent to ever raise his arms. Some

his back to Wade, to reply to the ques-
ton Of greeting.
Wade swung from the floor and his

likewise put him out. Looking around

bet with Wade, the gate receipts and
the 5000 that Kinds would have

Dbl FOR MASCOT

1t is a common practice for major
league baseball clubs to Cutbid one an
other for a promising rookie in this
or that minor league. It is an old Gus
tom. and will always be practiced. But
only once in the history of the major
leagues did two clubs carry on negotia-
tons, bidding against one another, for
the services of a mascot.
The two clubs were Cincinnati of
the National league, and Washington
OF the American league. The mascot
was a Montana boy, the and only
Brownie" Burke of Helena. At the
time, the Helena lad was on the payroll
OF n Cincinnati club.
Mascots are an old story to baseball
clubs. Usually a home boy is employed
for the task, and thousands of young
sters would gladly give up school ana
household errands to land such a job.
When Brownie" was signed to a con
tract, he was the first, and as far as I
know the only boy imported from an
other city to hold a mascot's job. The
kid from Helena received as much pub
licity when he reported to the Reds as
would any promising rookie. Needless

to clubs, conventions and dinners.
Then
Clark Griffith, at the time manager
of the Washington team came out to
make his annual visit to his ranch hold
ings near Helena. Griff met Brownie"
who was home for the winter months.
The boss of the Senators took quite q
fancy to the Red mascot. Griff told the
boy that anytime he wanted to quit
the Reds he would be made welcome at
washington. Brownie" told Griff that
he was under contract with Cincinnati,
and stated the amount of his salary.
Griff said he would boost the ante $25
2 month. The mascot king suggested
that his release might be purchased by
Griff from the Cincinnati club.
Griff sent a good-natured telegram
to Hermann. stating that he was willing
to buy Burke's release. He received no
answer that day or the next. Again
Griffith t~eiegraphed repeating his pro-
posal. Hermann wired hack that if
Griff wanted to buy the Cincinnati
club, Brownie" would be included in
the sale, otherwise he wasn't interested.
Burke also received a wire from
Hermann stating that his salary for the

set a salary mark for mascots that

 Paris, (UP)-Fur will play an important part in this winters styles but fortunately inexpensive as we'll as expensive furs are being promoted by smart Paris couturiers.
 Nothing will ever take the place of ermine, mink. sable or silver fox for really dressy clothes, but lower priced and better wearing furs are exploited everywhere for day wear. s
 Purifiers are able to do won- ders with pony and COW skins and turn out finished products that ake sleek, satiny and low priced. These flat skins are easily worked into smooth fitting garments that add to slim, straight silhouette, whereas long haired furs naturally add girth and bulk to the figure.
 Black pony is used for day. time coats that follow either one of two styles. First and most popular is the fitted coat that buttons from a high and severe necklinc to q nipped-ir waist and then flares out in a full basque-like skirt. These coats frequently are trimmed with collar, revers, cuffs and wide belt of antelope or suede. The second style is that favored last season for sports coats the full swagger sill liouette which flares from a broad- ened shoulder yoke to a three-quar- ter length hem. .
 Shaved lamb is smart but is more expensive and less durable. Broadtali is equally popular but only the most expensive and shiniest skins make up well. Just plain goat Is used for attractive daytime coats --lisuaIly in shaded gray tones made uD Ike pony coass

PERENNIAL, "HAY FEVER"
 In the booklet Call it Cri" (No. 5 in Little Lessons in the Ways of Health series) say: aa
 Parents should see that the child developing cri is put. to bed in- mediately and kept there until the trouble subsidies or physician take charge of the case.
 Now if we could put that prin- ciple into effect universally, sub stituting police for parents and The Gink for the child, the nations doc tor bill and medicine bill would be lowered one-half.
 At least -fourtts of all the illness physicians attend eventually if not in the experimental stage-is due to respiratory infection. This is not my biased view, but the esti- mate made by the U. s. Public Health Service after a wide statis- tical survey of prevailing illness among numerous classes of people in many parts of the country. Re- member, 1t is not only the ilnrne- diate indisposition or liability from the acute attack of "fiu," grip" or what off hand name do you prefer for 1t, but also the. subsequent in- reference with working capacity that counts in these morbid statis- tics. You must include in the bill the sinus troubles, middle ear in fections, many cases of appendicities pleurisy, empyema and arthritis which are common complications or sequels of the cri. What do mean, the cri? How can you tell you have it?
 The cri (kree) means any of the dozen Common Respiratory 1nfec- tions one may be developing when one feels more or less chillniesS, general malaise, headache, misery and, of course, doesn't know as yet whether one is coming down with simple coryza, flu, diphtheria, men, ingitis, infantile paralysis, scarlet fever-it may be any (Common) R (espiratory) fection) and there fore the only honest name for it is the cri.
 Far be 1t from me to suggest that the federal health bureau exagger- ated the importance of the cri as a factor of illness and loss of time and unnecessary. surgical work and most of the doctors visits, although should not hesitate to charge the cri half the national medical and drug bill. However, can offer mitigation, to wit, that various au- thorities estimate that from to | 10 per cent of acute and recurring nose and throat troubles are not infections nor even serious, though in all conscience annoying enough to the victims. This estimate l can- didly consider too low. Indeed we are just beginning to recognize how frequently conditions purporting to be ordinary coryza, Ia grippe" sinus trouble or hay fever are actually manifestations of g peculiar indivi- dual sensitivity or idosyncrasy which physicians call allergy.
 i Many cases of alleged "hay fever" occurring at any or all times, even out of the hay fever season, are really allergic sensitivity to some specific substance or elnanation to which the victims happen to be ex- posed--such as horse feathers-I mean horse dander or goose feath- CTS or orris root, or to Q specific food substance such as chocolate. egg white. gelatin, radish, mustard.
