Meade indicates
High.Stirrup Style
BY JERRY BRONDFIELD
NEA Service Sports Writer

THEY never thought Don
Meade would amount 10
much as a jockey. Never.
Horsemen cast critical eyes
on him when he first started
riding in the east about six
years ago.
Look al the freak" they said.
Hell ride all his life and never
have q winner
They ridiculed the way he sat
a mount. His stirrups were so
short that his feet were almost on
the horses back
That was dangerous. the OK
perts claimed What chance would
he have Of protecting himself,
they argued. II his horse stumbled
slightly. or was knocked off stride
Unless he changed his unorthodox
style he was due for q serious
accident.
II got 20 numerous trainers
refused him mounts because
OF those extremely short stir
ups. After all. there was the
horse TO consider, too.
The experts have long since
Junked those ideas they had about

Manage Grippe, who never has
objected when anyone referred TO
him as the Svengsli of pugilism, -
intends to make his hypnotism
work both ways by putting a hex
on Fox. He explains that if he
can come face to face with Fox
before the glsdiators begin gladi-
ating he can send Fox into a
trance that will make him help
less.
Fox. crafty as the animal
for which he is named. will
guard against that calamity
at the weighing-in today by
wearing thick, dark glasses
which destroy hypnotic gazes
and glares.
The odds favor Fox. Negro
of rather uncertain age who has
not lost bout in his last II
fights and who won nine of them
by knockouts.
Tonight it's for the hght-heavy-
weight championship of the world
a world encircled by the borders
of New York state. Elsewhere the
champion is John Henry Lewis.
who put his name on piece of
paper not long ago and later
learned, to his eternal sorrow. that
he had sentenced himself TO fight
Joe Lewis.
The New York boxing commits
sion held that Lewis, by invading
the heavyweight ranks for that
bloody two minutes ana 20 sec

forfeited his right TO the light

FOX AND BETTINA FIGHT THE
FIGHT OF THE PRESS AGENTS

NEW YORK Tiger Jack FoX
and Melio Bettlna fight tonight
for the New York brand of the
light heavyweight championship
of the world. and. if you believe
what you hear, this one is going
to combine the best features of
the melodrama "Triby" and a
rush hour in a Chicago slaughter
house.
At an early hour today the an
tics Of the rlval press agents be-
came so much more intriguing
than the fight itself that Bettina
and Fox found themselves reduced
The main bout WAS raging
all over town between the
press agents typewriters and
with neutral mimeograph
machine, which proc uced
handouts for both sides, act
ing as referee.
Bettina's press agent appeared
to have slight edge in the early
rounds chiefly because Jimmy
Grippe. who manages Melio, is a
magician and hypnotist He is
planning, 1t seems, to send his
man into the ring in a trance
which will make him imperVious

a demand that ambulance units

Balsam Fir
(Abies balsamea)

Balsam frs reach q height Of
so to go feet, while a few have
been found 80 feet high. The trunk
is continuous taper from the base
to its top and may be from 8 to
20 inches in diameter. The branches,
which are produced regularly In
whorls on the young tree, remain
with the parent tree and the newer
ones form the crown. This trait
maintains the pyramidal shape of
the tree throughout its lifetime.
This is one of the reasons it is
popular as an ornamental tree.
1t is a favorite tree for making a
mattress for campers and also is
the tree whose needles are made
into fragrant pillow filings The
limpid balsam resin is collected
from the resin blisters that are to
be found on the younger trees and
on the limbs of the older ones. If
the tree is wounded, resin pours
from the cut to heal 1t The COL
lecting Of this resin is an industry
sufficiently important so that a
man and his family may support
themselves in this way.
Canada balsam" is the market
name Of the resin and it is valu-
able in laboratories for mounting
microscopic specimens. 1t is also
used in medicines and for many
other purposes. An oil known as
''oil of fir" is obtained from the bark.
The wood is soft, light and not
durable. 1t is rarely used in con-
struction work but is mixed with
spruce wood for paper pulp.
Shady. moist spots are the best
to select for this tree. There are
Is species of Abies, widely dis
tributed over the Northern Hemis-
phere, and they are found growing
on the northern highlands of Africa.
This tree does not live to an old
age, and there are many trees that
will repay you more to plant than
this one. The balsam fir gives the
greatest joy to children, as it is a
favorite for Christmas markets and
its fragrance is most welcome at
this season Of the year.
