The recent heat wave logged
Washington memories back to

Parade of Titans

Papke again claimed the title.
He knocked out Willie Lewis to prove
his right to the throne. "Cyclone"
Johnny Thompson of Sycamore, ILL.,,
beat Papke in Australia. Then in
1912 came a parade of good fighters
to keep the middleweight tradition
popular. They were Jimmy Clab-
by, Frank Klaus, Eddie McGoorty,
Jack Dillon, and George Chip.
Following the reign of these titans
came Mike Gibbons, known as the
uncrowned king and some fair mid
dleweights. Then the division
slipped because of lack of high class
competitors, although Mickey Walk
er and Harry Greb were exceptions.
Now it appears there is splen-
did chance that there will be an
other era like that in the days of
Ketchel and Papke.
Steele and ApOstoli probably come
nearer being the Ketchel and Papke
type of fighters than the ring has
seen since their day. Early in their
careers, Steele stopped Apostoli
and the latter has just recently had
his revenge. Their next fight is
coming up. This revival of interest
in the middleweight ranks will bring
many more to the ring wars.
So perhaps golden days are ahead
for the middleweights.

Now the casks were preached, the
wine and brandy flowed and the
feast began.
The Governor and Captain Canete
raised wine-horns to each other.
"Good man! Brave fellow!" MUIR
INJURED the Governor. The Captain
smiled quizzically and retired.
During the feast FACES sat where
he could see Eulalia, watching the
freight brighten the little Maja
jacket, and wink on the bright but
tons. Watched her hands as she
ate fastidiously.
Then, when venison, antelope,
quail, rabbits, frijoles, tortillas, and
dried fruits were mere scraps, an
old leather-jacket began plucking
music by the roots out of his guitar
"a guitar that had travelled from
the province of Catalonia in Spain,
across the Atlantic, across Mexico,
and up and down the CALIFORNIA;,
Baja and Alta. Voices rose in the
beloved songs of the old country,
soldiers songs, gipSieS' roundelays
and haunting Oriental strains that
had persisted in Spain since the
days of the Moors.
Pedro FACES lifted a horn of wine.
Il give you toast, my men! To
his Majesty King Carlos the Third OF
Spain, and to his Royal Spouse!"
They drank the toast standing,
amid cheers.
The Governor refilled his horn.
"And I give you Eulalia, the
Queen of the Californias!"
He drank deeply, then threw the
empty horn into the dying fire.
STOPPING lightly, he lifted Eulalia
from the dais, held her aloft a
moment, then strobe away with her
to the tent.

Several Colleges Join
War to Check Syphilis

Stimulated by the national cam
paign to control venereal disease, a
few colleges and universities are
making syphilis tests a part of the
routine examinations required of in
coming students. Judging from a
survey made by the Chicago Trib-
une, sociological diagnosis for syph-
Ills is not a common regulation
among student health services, how
ever.
Instruction on the sexual and So
cial hazards of the disease is far
more common. Many universities,
in fact, require their freshman men
and women to take courses in health
or hygiene revealing the character
of the disease. Others confine this
instruction to medical and socio-
logical courses beyond the reach of
most students.
University presidents, deans, and
health directors questioned were
unanimous in declaring that syph-
ills does not constitute a major
health problem on American cam
puses.
Most of them agreed that students
found to have syphilis and gonor-
rhea should be kept in school where
they could have adequate treat
ment. Prep school leaders, dealing
with younger boys, were just as GER
tain that all syphilitics should be
barred.
The University of Chicago, Uni
versity of Iowa, and Dartmouth col
1ege are schools which have elected
to give Wasserman or Kahn tests
to all newcomers. New York univer-
sity offers free tests to all students,
but does not require them.
Testing began on the Midway with
the winter quarter this month, TAX
ing advantage of the Chicago board
of health's program of free and
secret examinations, since the uni
versity health service lacked funds
for this purpose.
Dartmouth college began routine
Wassermans last fall and found one

$50 incoming students.
The University of Iowa started
sociological testing of freshmen in
1924 and continued until 1890, re-
ported DR.. M. E. Barnes, head of
the department of hygiene. It
ceased, he said, because of many
objections. The university then con-
fined its testing to food handlers,
employees, and others.

Mexico City, Dona Eulalia, accompanied by
her duenna, Angustias, arrives at the en-
bassy in response to a letter from her hus-
band. Don Pedro. She agrees to 60 to Cali

trip. Eulalia, accustomed to luxury and
comfort. bitterly regrets having been per-
suaded to come. The two priests, Fray
Mariana and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her

Ketchel Becomes King

Perhaps the most interesting era
of the middleweights was when a
young coal miner named Stanley
Ketchel came out of Butte, Mont,
back in 1907 and announced that he
intended to fight his way through a
group of tough battlers to the top.
Nobody paid much attention to him
until one night in San Francisco he
knocked out Joe Thomas, then con-
sidered tops in the division.
Ketchel was matched with the
Sullivan twins, Mike and Jack, and
he f1attened them both. He imme-
diately became a sensation. Then a
young boilermaker named Billy
Papke came out of Kewanee, Ill.
People called him the Thunder
bolt" Ketchel fought him in Mil
waukee and won after ten rounds.
Ketchel went back to San Fran
cisco, where he stopped Hugo Kelly,
who had claimed the title. He beat
Thomas again and then once more
took Papke on. This time it was
different. Ketchel had not bothered
to train and he was badly beaten in
twelve rounds, fighting the last
three with his eyes swollen shut.
Less than two months later
Ketchel did something few fighters
had ever done before. He came
back and defeated the man who
had taken his title from him. Ketch-
ell went on as king of the middle
weights and even fought Jack John
son for the heavyweight belt. Out
weighed, he lost after furious bat
tie. Late in 1910 Ketchel was shot
and killed on a Missouri ranch.

entertainment prepared, and at
once! A dispatch must be sent to
good Padre Lasuen at the mission
to come and celebrate a thanksgiv-
ing for the distinguished travellers;
he must bring his Indian musicians.
There would be music, dancing;
food must be prepared - bull
slaughtered. The arms and equip
ment of the little garrison must be
in perfect order. Guns must be
made ready for salutes.
The women listened to the Com
mander's orders, nodded among
themselves and went to work. The
Indian servants stared in stupid won
der. Never had they seen the genie
so hard at work. Such scrubbing
and cleaning, such an aroma of food
in the air!
Carefully boarded clothes - for
who could tell when they could be
replaced?-were drawn from chests
where they reposed from funeral to
funeral, christening to christening.
The best silk quilts and bed furnish
ings were carried to the room set
apart for the almost-royal guest
chamber. When all this was done,
and the children cleaned and
dressed, the women-folk fixed their
men-folk's hair; trimmed it, combed
it, braided it into queues.
Suddenly there was a volley of
shots, a prancing of hoofs, shouts
and cries, and the caravan came in
sight. The people of San Diego
pressed forward to see-there was
Ell Gobernador-Don Pedro himself,
his brown eyes twinkling, his mouth
stern, riding proudly between his
lady and his son.
"Ah, his son!" they chartered.
'sThat would be Pedro the Younger
of course. A princeling, yes, a
princeling. But look you-the lady
La Gobernadora!"
La Gobernadora rode into the
compound proudly, head high, eyes
level. She saw the jolly clamor
around the Governor, respectful
intimacy that established at once in
her mind the relations of her hus-
band with these people that he gov
erned. She did not approve of it
this backslapping and joking. Aft
er all he was the Governor, the
Kings own representative in this
province and should demand and re-
ceive more dignified attention.
For a moment she looked around
her. The adobe stockade was lined
with huts that followed the contours
of the hills. Living quarters, store
houses. chapel, huddled under the

Boom Days Are
Predicted for
Middleweigghts

Golden days loom ahead for
the middleweights, if prophets
reading the future by means of
the past are correct in their
representations. Golden days
for 160-pound fighters who prove
their competence with fists
and footwork in the prize ring.
The old boom times of the middle
weight division promise to become
the new boom times, because for
the first time in a generation there
is great abundance of classy tall
ent in this field.

Champion Freddy Steele of Ia
