Then There's Jack O'Br;en.

IT'S an open question, and very in
teresting, technically, whether
lighting does play sufficient havoc
with mans hands to disqualify him
as violinist. Consider the case of
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Phila-
delphia Jack fought for years and
years, being one of the best middle
weights of his time. He never was
famous as puncher, but he used his
hands enough to flatten and gnarl
them and split them at the knuckles.
When he retired, Jack felt the ar
tstic impulse seething within him.
He wrote little. He wrote a PAM
phlet entitled, Duties of Men Assist
ing Big Boy Night of 23rd," which
concerned the handling of Jack
Dempsey on the night of his first
night with Tunney 1t was a mas
terly monograph, all right, and
caused wide and favorable comment
In INFORMED circles
Writing didn't satisfy the O'Brien
impulse, however. so PHILADELPHIA
Jack probed around till he learned
that playing the violin was a chore
which combined refinement and ar.
tistlc expression to colossal degree
So he bought a violin and went to
work

n YEW ORLEANS. Dec. 18.-
M zevson, 5-year-old horse owned
by Mrs. E. H. Bartlett, re-
a turned to his good form of
last winter when he won the Thi-
bodeaux Handicap, which topped the
Fair Grounds program today. Coming
from behind under rousing ride by
Cornelia Mojena, zevson got up in
the last jump to nose out Miss L. c.
Whites gray gelding Buster Boy,
which had survived the early pace.
Clyde Troutt's Lady Federal was third
and Wise Player, the favorite, fourth.
Zevson Strong in Stretch.
I ADY FEDERAL set the pace, with
Boston Mary and Whipowiil
closely attending. Lady Federal shook
off those two after furlongs, but
hardly had led the field into the
stretch when Buster Boy collared her
and, handling his light impost of
104 pounds nicely opened a good lead.
But Mojena had Zevson in full stride
after half a mile and the son of Zev,
responding to hard riding, began to
close in with a rush in the stretch
and he slowly but surely downed
Buster Boy, finishing on the outside
to get a picture decision Zevson
was second choice in the race, paying
$7.20 for So. He carried 109 pounds.
The handicap was a mile and 10
yards.

Ideal Christmas Gifts


NATURALLY we recommend the
giving of chessmen and chess
books as the ideal form of Christmas
remembrance. Every time such a gift
Is made you have added materially to
the growing circle o. addicts to the
most intellectual pastime in the world.
In purchasing chessmen at local
stores ask for the orthodox Staunton
pattern. The height of the king piece
determines the size of the set. Col
lege size chessmen have 3-inch king
and retail for prices varying from 81
to 81. Larger chessmen, as club size
with 4-inch king, are q trifle more
expensive.
The chessboard should be in
keeping with the size Of the
- king and other pieces. Don't
make the mistake Of buying
large chessmen and . board
with less than 2-inch squares.

This youth was ambitious to become a

spar with him.
Get yourself a pair of gloves and
we'll go to the gym and work out" he
said to Joe.
L haven't got any gloves" said Joe.
What's that thing you got under
your arm2'
"A VIOLIN" said Joe.
WELL" said his friend, I'VE will sell
1t and get some gloves. Let's CO."
Joe went. The rest is history. To-
day he plays the harmonica and the
comb with great virtuosity, and makes
more money than Yehudi Menuhin. He
ought to be ashamed of himself.

THERE are problems and impli-

Odets' new play, Golden Boy"
but. since the play deals with
prize fighter, 1t becomes our solemn
duty to examine one aspect Of the
thing. namely. the matter Of pugilism
vs.. the violin.
Odets. you know, is the fellow who
wrote Waiting for Lefty" and the
public still is waiting. He also wrote
picture, THE General Dies at
Dawn" In the new show, he points
out, among other things, that a man
with q musical gift and an aptitude
for the violin Is q sucker to take up
fighting, because 1t makes q bum out
Of his hands, to say nothing Of his
soul.
think there is a shadowy sugges-
ton of the life of Lou Ambers in
Golden Boy" Lou has a musical
gift. He sings Put on Your Old
Gray Bonnet" in the shower. He
took music lessons as a tot. He also,
ut one time or another, rode the
rods of most of the better side-door
Pullman cars, or freights Then he
became fighter and the lightweight
champion Of the world.
A Brooding Hero.
THE hero of the Odets play, Joe
Bonaparte, does some Of the
same things, but Joe is neurotic
fellow with bad habit of brooding.
He broods about life and love and
the violin and his busted dukes, and
he winds up dying, with apologies TO
King Lear, in motor smash-up.
If Mr.. Odets thinks that Lou Ambers
Is an individual who broods about his
lost musical career, or, for that mat
ter. anything else, he should hear him
carol in the show >rs-Luigi is cheerful
almost to the point of hilarity. He is
having good time in the fight racket.
So is Joe Louis, and Louis is an
other chap who ought as matter Of
common decency, to be mourning his
life as an artist. Joe took violin les
sons once. He gave his mother a stiff
battle on this subject, but his mother
outweighed him considerably at the
time and won the decision.
