For a short while the drug peddlers
throughout the United States found il impos-

Then suddenly dope was being sold in the
underworld markets again
In Washington = G. Commissioner II J.
Anslingcr chief Of the Bureau of Narcotics
of the u S. Treasury Department and J w,
Buikiey deputy customs commissioner in
charge OF narcotics enforcement peRdered
over the reports of narcotics sleuths and L. s.
customs officers from various parts Of the
country From them they knew that although
dope was re-appearing in the principal under
world markets, it wasn't being smuggled in
aboard ships arriving from foreign ports.
Judging from the activity Of Treasury men
along the Southern border, there was little
doubt that the majority of it was being slipped
across the Rio Grande
But here was a puzzler The shipping
situation in Mexico was just as tight as it
was in the United States And the organza-
tion Of Dr. Victor Fernandez Manero, MeXco's
Minister Of Public Health, was working just
as diligently as the American agents in it's
efforts 10 stamp out the drug traffic.

Naturally, I said sure wanted

after she got through with him, he
was certain it would do me good,

much, but one look at them after
seeing nothing but uniforms for
months was like trip back home.

"a few days after that the nurses

heard some talk about party they
were giving in their quarters that
evening, inviting their boy friends,

And I almost fell out of my cot that
afternoon when Peggy, in seeming

like to go. It was nice, of course,

An Important Factor

We see where Beau Jack has been
advised to take rest, after losing
stamina from a combination of light
er eating and overwork in the de-
sire ito keep his weight down.
Weight-making is an important
factor in every game-boxing, horse
racing, baseball, football and other
sports. But it goes far beyond that.
It is something that affects the ma
jority of all people beyond the age
of 81. It is something that doesn't
belong to the athlete alone.
The greatest weight defer in sport
was fellow by the name Of Babe
Ruth. The Babe defied most con-
ventions and most rules of life. He
was the greatest of all the excep-
tons.
Heres a funny thing" he told
me little while back. 'They were
always after me about keeping down
my weight, which at that time, in
the 1920s, was around 230. You re-
member the year I hit those 60
home runs? You know what I
weighed that year? Just 253 pounds.
had that much extra hulk and bulk
| to put back Of my swing"
That might have worked for the
astonishing Babe, but it would have
been destruction for the average or
normal citizen.

The Argument

We were not present when Cor
bett and Ruby Robert met at Car
son City those 46 years ago. But
we've always doubted that Fitz won
that title at 157 pounds, three pounds
under the middleweight limit.
There was nothing that made Jim
Corbett madden than to be given
these weight figures. 1t was tough
enough to lose, but much tougher
to lose to light middleweight.
A year or two later Fitz was fight
ing around III pounds. But outside
of his skinny legs, he was built on
the order of a strong 190-pounder
from the waist up.
For all that the freckled Cornish
man, as both a boxer and puncher,
was one of the top fighters of all
time. He was on beyond IS when
Jim Jeffries stopped him. well be-
yond his prime.
Pound for pound, I'll still nomi-
nate Harry Greb.
