ing in the preliminary of
Mixes fight with Pulaski, he
always spent a hundred dol
lars more than he had. And
Mike, who had always made
money the hard way, always
advanced him money to get
him out of jams. He liked
doing it because he liked Dan.
EAGER TO IMPROVE
Another thing that Mike
admired in him was his eager
ness to learn. Whenever he
was in the ring with him. Dan
was always on his toes. When
Mike pulled a punch or a
shift with his feet or a feint
that pulled an opponent out
of position. Dams eyes would
light up.
boy. That was a good
one" he'd say. DO that
again, Mike. 1 didn't get it."
And Mike would do it over
again. proud of himself for
knowing more than Dan did.
How was he TO know that Dan
had moved into his camp, not
TO make the $40 for sparring
with him but to learn all the
champ knew so that some day
he would take him?
Mike was proudest of him
self when he introduced Helen
Spruce to Dan. Mike was
going to marry Helen any day
now and he wanted Dan to
know that a swell girl like
Helen was in love with him.
Dan knew it. all right, and
appreciated the fact, and
Helen. too. His eyes got as
big as saucers when he saw
her.
The first day he came TO
Mike and asked if he could
take Helen to a show, Mike
was tickled to let him. He.
-himSelf, WAS busy getting
ready to go deer hunting and
Helen was a little sore at
him for not paying her more

reputation Tor loyalty IN love unJuStly suffers.
Most mon think Of marriage with their
hearts; most women think of il with their
heads. And so time Staggers on!
Why should all the sad songs the
blues songs and the torch songs, deal with
love? This world has other sorrows.

and her face melted and she
cried like a kid cries, without
shame and with no attempt
OF hide it.
II can't marry you," she
said, 81 can't marry any man
without him knowing that
Mike was dumb, but not
that dumb. He asked her who
the man was. But he knew
he was Danny. Not that
Helen told him. She didn't
tell him anything. She just
cried.
"All right" he said. though
he felt as if somebody'd rap
ped him one under the heart.
you told me hut don't see
what that's got to do with us
getting married. Wipe you
eyes"
So they were married and
the subject was never men
toned again. But Mike was
Just waiting. And he got
what he'd been waiting for
when they signed those
articles in Madison Square
Garden and climbed through
the ropes in the same place
six weeks later.
DID LITTLE DAMAGE
That first round was pretty
-te-wateh.- Dancing Dan
as pretty as a picture as he
tented and danced and
weaved and blocked. He sent
many a punch whistling at
Mike. And all the punches
landed. You could hear them
smack all over the Garden.
But none of them landed
where it could do any damage.
1t was at the end of the
seventh round that Mike began
TO get to Dan. He began 10
hurt him. And Dan got mad.
They went into a clinch. And
Dan said.
"All right. Mugg. I'm going
70 take You and your cham
piOnship. I took everything
else you had. l took your
money and l took your girl.
But I took more than that.
/ took every trick you've got.
l know them all. You sap.
You taught me all you know"
And that's what Mike had
waited for him 10 say. He
knew it -waS So but he had
wanted complete proof and
now he had it from Dams own
lips. But he didn't answer
a word.
He just tied Dan up and
pushed him away. lie started
TO fight in close. He went
into a crouch that Dan had
never seen him use before.
And when he got in under
Dams guard, he started using
the heel of his gloves and the
top of his head. He'd bring a
glove against Dams face and
twist it and the sweat and
blood and grit from it ground
into Dams features. He jerked
Dams head down with his left
once and then brought the top
Of his head UP like a goat
butting and Dams nose
smeared over his face and II
moved then on like a thing of
rubber because the cartilage
was mashed TO pulp.
Mike then went TO work on
both OF Dan s cars. tic rot

time after time but when he
threw his punches, they
landed, not on Dams chin but

Mike (Socker) Clegg, the
champ.
NO hard feelin's, I hope,

small and gray and shifty,
darted at the taller, slower
man, went past him and
wlnked AT the newspaper men
crowding around the table.
why should there be ."
Mike asked and put out his
big fist. The movement was
slow, almost ponderous. Every
movement he made was that
way. He looked like a man
who was tired almost TO death
of taking the punches that
had left their marks all over
his face.
We'll, didn't know" Dan
explained, me bein' your
sparrin' partner once. You
taught me plenty. Mike. 1

Maybe it'll he enough"
Mikes slow smile came then.
maybe it'll be enough TO take
the championship from me
and give II to you. That
would be funny one, wouldn't
IL, Dan?"
Not funny" Dan corrected
and his lips hardened, "just
one of the things that happen
in this game. 1t happened be-
fore, you know. Jeffries was
COrbett's sparrin' partner and
he took the championship
away from him."
"Ych," Mike agreed, that's
right.
Ut II TShE4N III
only COrbett didn't teach
Jeffries all he knew. Jeffries
just happened to be a different
kind of fighter"
Well, you and mes DIFF

pointed out.
II Know Mike said YEARLY,
I'm sorry you mentioned
about me and you bein' SPAR
rim partners. What differ
ence does il make? The way
l figure IL, let the best man
win"
He WILL" Dams grin was
secret and malicious. HE
will, all right"
The reporters gathered
around the two men and Mike
Abrams, the promoter, and
asked questions of all three
of them. Some of the sports
writer's were suspicious. This
match looked like a barney.
The record. as it concerned
Mike and Dan went back
three years to the day that
Mike began training for his
fight with Stanley Pulaski.
which was his first after win
ming the championship. On
that day, Pat Sheridan,> his
trainer, picked Dancing Dan
Sllgg-who was no dancing
fighter then but Just a kid
chopping block-to spar with
Mike for $40 a day and cakes.
HANDSOME CLOWN
What Sheridan saw when
he hired him and what Mike
Clegg saw when the kid
climbed through the ropes TO
him, was a very good looking
boy who had a nice, shifty
way of handling himself in the
ring and a rough, Glowing
sense of humor. Yep. The
KID was a card. He could
give you a hot foot while you
were looking right at him.
Mike liked him more than
he had ever liked anybody.
Though the champ didn't
know it, Dan complemented
him as a glove fits a hand.

CUSSEDNESS is ALWAYS PRE-

1t always springs from some seed long
sown in the secret places of our own

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Ad-

today to checkmate through exist

attempts by business to use the
present defense emergency as an
excuse to Jack up" prices. Latest
steps in that direction were:
1-Disclosure that the Office Of

legislation that would give IL
direct power TO fix prices. Tho
proposal Is to be submitted to
President Roosevelt for approval,

price edicts issued by the
OPACS.
Meanwhile, the OPACS. created
by executive order, continued to
employ its restricted powers TO
maintain prices at fair levels and
TO check any efforts at speculation
in vital raw materials and con-
sumner goods.
Under the present set-up. the
office may issue an edict freezing
prices but officials contend that
present machinery to force COM
pliance is too complicated.
In a letter to Leon Henderson,
OPAOS administrator, Jackson said
whenever you find that prices are

or device which is a violation OF

Added that such cases would be
