Whitley Bimstein
Is Ring Hubbard
TRAINER WORKS
TO CUT WEIGHT
OF Three STARS
BY HYPE IGoE

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-He's
told old Mother Hubbard, the
brood hen Of the fight camps, is
Whitley" Bimstein, the man who
has conditioned more fighters
and more champions than any
trainer who ever lived.
Down at Madame Bey's, in Sum-
NIT, Whitley" has Sixto Escobar.
the bantamweight champion; Lou
Ambers, the lightweight king, and
Fred Apostoli, the middlewight
challenger, under his wing.
He rules them with an authority
which would lead you to believe
that he possessed iron hands.
EXACTING JOB
The job. in this instance Is an
eXacting one because he has in
tow, two titleholderS and q chal-
lenger who must make q required
weight-or else-and else would
mean the possible breaking up Of
the Carnival Of Champion" If
their respective opponents refused
to go on in the event that they
were over weight.
There is for instance, q $1,000
weight forfeit up between ApostoN
and Marcel Thil, the Frenchman.
We'll claim the Frenchman'S
forfeit If he is a fraction Of O
pound overweight and we'll ex.
pect to take the same bitter pill
If Fred is over the weight" said
whitley" and Larry White, iii q
chorus. White who is Apostoli's
manager, tagged that threat by
adding:
"If Thil comes in over weight,
Wen claim the forfeit and give
him two hours in which to take
off the extra poundage. We don't
want to be grasping about this
fight but business is business.
We want that title"
It is Bimstein'S task to bring
these three into the boxing COM
mission office a fraction Of a pound
under the title marks Of 118, 1876
and 169 pounds, respectively.
Right now he has Escobar at
1917, Ambers at 1876 and ApoStoli
at 1852.

and Simmons slid over the plate.

Of relief to see Jimmy Wasdell
blast his first home run Of his

It was just a question Of time
until Wasdell started timing the
ball. That kid can play ball in
any mans league.
Cliff Bolton batted in place Of
Lawson in the first half Of the
fourth inning and slapped a blow
to pay dirt. Cliff grinned broadly
over this incident.
Gehringer smothered Wasdell's

a possible single. There are few

berg to second base. The Tigers
started to rally then, and before
the frame was over they had
scored five runs. Rogell's single,
which DeShong thought should
have been fielded by WaSdell, was
another damaging shot.
Harris had faith in DeShong.
He allowed Jimmy to bat in the
last half of the fifth inning, per-
haps because there were two out
anyway. DeShong went right on
with his hurting labors in the
first of the sixth.
Wasdell made a nifty back
handed stop of Gehringer'S slash
in the sixth inning. That ball,
without expert treatment, would
have been good for two bases.

wonderfully worth while can be done
for practically every woman who
suffers from functional pains of
menstruation. Certain cases can be
relieved by taking Cardui. Others
may need a physicians treatment.
Cardui has two widely demon

in building up the whole system by
helping women to get more strength

wv HERE, oh where is the
w feminine wardrobe tn a t
wouldn't take on momentum
through the addition of just these
three simple, wearable frocks?
Surely like the Model T, it would
be hard to find. And the thrilling
thing - the important feature -
is that these frocks are planned
and patterned exclusively for the
modern woman who sews-for you,
a member of The Sewing Circle.
Pattern 1914 is a house dress
with a future. 1t is young and
practical. The new notched col
lar, ending as it does in twin
scallops below the yoke line,
gives the waist front balance and
brightness. The bodice is slightly
fulled to make this a comfortable
style to work in as well as one
that is attractive to look at. The
skirt is slim lined and simple
as you would have it. Use dimity,
dotted swiss or Bingham for this
number. Designed for sizes: "a,
SO, 38, 40, AZ, A, 46 and 48. Size
SO requires 37s yards of IS inch
material.
Pattern 1889 is the polite young
model caught with it's back this
way, perhaps the better to show
off the beautiful shoulders and
chicest of chic descending lines.
You'll run-up this frock in short
order but you'll wear it endlessly
and with that happy confidence
which only a style with distinc-
ton can give. Make it of rasp-
berry wool crepe and trim the
collar, cuffs and hem with royal
blue. Pattern 1889 comes in sizes
IA, Is, 10 and 20 (32 to AZ bust).
Size 16 requires yards of 81 inch
material with yards of braid
for trimming.
Pattern 1906 is a most attractive
newcomer to the blouse m skirt
category. An alliance of this sort
brings glamour and romance to
the gay wearer. Gold or silver
metallic cloth, or, perhaps SHIN
mering satin for the blouse with
a skirt of velvet will make mil
lion dollar outfit. Make it yours in
a couple of hours. 1t is available
III sizes IA, 16, Is and 20 (32 to AZ
bust). Size 16 requires 21s yards
of 80 inch material for the blouse
and 21s yards for the skirt. The
blouse with long sleeves requires
2as yards SO inches wide.

panies each pattern to guide you

hair, he was sure, in its natural
state, was quite so glintingly gold
en-. Her lashes were stiff with mas
cara and her mouth was work OF
art sketched in raspberry ip-salve
of an especially virulent shade.
Apparently unaware of his scruti-
ny, she glanced at him, a knife
poised over open jars. Her eyes
narrowed and crinkled.
Gas one blonde to another" she
asked, mustard or mayonnaise?"
Jim laughed. 1t was, he reflected,
the first natural laugh he'd enjoyed
since last Friday at noon. The at
mosphere at the Callenders had
been strained. He'd spent the week
end smiling stiffly at Myra's acid
pleasantries, making loud noises of
appreciation, far beyond their mer-
it, in response to Dicks tepid
jokes. Singing for his supper &.
"Well-?"
"I'm sorry" Jim apologized.
Mustard or mayonnaise? That's an
important decision, isn't it? I'll
compromise. A little of both if you
please"
His reply seemed to amuse her.
She returned to her task humming,
just audibly, a gay familiar tune.
Funny kid, Jim thought. Kid? Well,
eighteen or nineteen, perhaps. What
was her name? Gladys? Gertrude?
Geraldine? Not that it mattered.
Nothing mattered especially. He'd
give his right arm to be interested
in something again. Anything-a
girl, job, dog-ight. Life without
vital interests wasn't much fun. One
might as well be a turnip-
There must be something that he
could do. He was confident, in spite
of repeated discouragements, Of his
ability to get on in the world. He
had had an expensive education and
a fair amount of intelligence. He
made friends easily. People usually
liked him. He was healthy enough.
