no concern In the matter. He gave

De Glane Insures Limb,

TO PROTECT himself, Monsieur de
Glane approached an insurance
company to have his leg bonded.
Il wish to insure this leg," he said
to the insurance agent, revealing 4
shapely stem and number of divots
on same.
For how much?" inquired the
agent.
Would Is bucks be too much?"
asked Henri He is fundamentally a
modest wrestler.
Il will insure this limb for s25,ooo,"
said the agent.
Ten thousand million little blue
devils!" said Monsieur de Glane,
greatly astonished Name of a name!
Name of a pipe! Sacre bleu! Species
OF camel! Holy smoke! It's deal"
The transaction was concluded on
these terms. and Monsieur de Glane
went his way in q cheerful state of
mind. He thought he was protected.
But he soon began to notice q ten
dency on the part Of his opponents in
the wrestling ring to avoid his leg
and chew his arm, nose, ear, or throt
instead. The boys were very careful
on this score. It made Monsieur de
Glane angry, and 1t also piqued his
curiosity.
How come" he asked one night of
Chief Little Wolf, as the chief
gnawed thoughtfully on Henri's right
elbow IN the course Of a thrilling
match, How come you avoid the leg
OF the great De Glane? Don't you
want to be champion? Go on, have

Beating Them, 1926.

IT MAY take time-right now its
= "only" . matter Of five or six
years-but George Warrington some
day may learn not to play Long
Island on the 2-by-4 basket ball court
which the Blackbirds use for minor
games In Brooklyn, N. Y.
Nursing their first defeat Of the
season. the Colonials were homeward
bound today, beaten by almost the
identical margin by which they lost
to the Blackbirds on the same court
last year. Last nights score was
35-25.
Once upon time 1t was conceiv-
able that L. I. U. should not bother
to take G. W., a lightly regarded foe,
to Madison Square Garden, where they
play all their major games Now it is
apparent that Long Island never vii
take the Colonials to the Garden
but for a very different reason. The
George Washingtons are more than
apt to beat them on a regulation court.
Only O'Brien Is Hot.
WHY doesn't G. w. insist upon
w playing at the Garden before
closing negotiations for the game?
Your guess IS as good as ours.
According to reports, the Colonials
outplayed their hosts in every phase
of the game but shooting. That
was all in favor of the Black
birds, who know every splinter
of their bandbox gym and shot
from all angles and distances. It is
significant, on the other hand, that
Capt. Tom O'Brien, who had played
twice before in the same gym, was
the only Colonial able to score more
than one field goal.
Long Islands advantage in each
half was five points, the Blackbirds
leading. 1912, at intermission and
outscoring the hitherto unbeaten Cap
ital quint, 1913. in the second half.

OLYMPIC STAR AND
FAMOUS INSTRUCTOR

Accurate edging is much more i'm
portant at racing than at normal
speeds. A slight error in edging,
which would be Of no consequence at
normal speed, usually will result in
a hard fall at racing speed. In straight
running try to keep the inner edges
OF the skis more weighted than the
outer. A very slight mock-kn posi-
ton accompanies this and thus
greatly reduces the chance Of catching
an outside edge.
Do not sacrifice steadiness for the
sake Of style. When travelling fast it
Is seldom steady to keep the feet
absolutely together. Run with one foot
slightly in advance Of the other and
let the feet run apart enough to give
a feeling Of real firmness.
The straightest possible line down
any slope is the fastest and best
racing line, provided it can be run
without a fall. Where turns are neces-
sary, work out a line that will per-
init long-radium turns rather than
short, skidding check turns. Skidding
checks speed and speed is what the
racer wants, SO long Is he can handle
it. In open country long-radium turns
come easily enough, but on trails a
line which allows their use often Is
missed. In picking suitable line on
. trail It Is essential to take advantage
Of its full width.
Many turns can b elm.

Legs Market Value Uncertain.

HE HAS sold lot of tickets and he
does not wish to refund the loot.
A check for 100000 would cover him
nicely in case of hiatus in the opera
tions of the Henie underpinning de-
partment. Sordid? Yes, the generals
motives are undoubtedly sordid, but
what would you have? Business is
business. C'est la guerre, as they say
IN Northern Lapland
1t is hard to assay the market value
Of the human leg. In Mile. Henie's
case the price figures to be high. Sonia
Is a cute trick, as the Scandinavians
put it, but her legs are her principal
asset. There is no telling how Lloyd's
Of London will price them. In this
matter of gam insurance-gam mean
Ing leg-I am reminded of the sad case
OF Henri de Glane. the world wrestling
champion of certain States and coun-
ties, which proves that you never can
tell.
It is common knowledge that at one
time-l928-l933. inclusive-M. de
Glane was the barometer or yardstick
of the wrestling industry. In case of
argument, the wrestling champion of
the world was the man who had bitten
the biggest piece out of M. de Glane's
leg. This led to wide-scale gnawinR
OF the limb in question by ambitious
young wrestlers everywhere.

10 YOU'RE afraid of sharks when
you 60 fishing? You think those
sharp-nosed, fat-bellied, ugly
- demons of the big water are
looking for chance to tear off an
arm or leg. It's all hokum, accord
ing to the Florida fishing guides,
and if you ask them about sharks
they'll laugh at you and give forth
a fervent "phooey' toward the shark.
The real terror of tropical waters Is
the barracuda. You couldn't get
guide to go overheard in barracuda
infested waters. but they will go over
board when they know sharks are
around.
One day couple Of winters ago we
tied into big barracuda OF Mo-
lasses Reef, down of the Florida Keys.
Barracuda, being a smart fish, will
run toward boat with the bait. This
bait happened to be a spoon costing
buck and half Lolling around
in the blue water 100 yards away were
the fins of couple of those big Gulf
Stream sharks. monsters probably IA
or Is feet long. That 'cuda ran with
the spoon right under the boat, foul
ing the line in the propeller and
breaking it oil. The spoon was val
liable. and We didn't want to lose it.
