T axe My Word for 1t
By FRANK COLBY.
Words to Watch.

BUFFET, word of French origin,
is frequently mispronounced "BUH-
fay" or "buh-Fay." The "u" should
have the 100" sound as in "book, I"
thus: boo-FAY. (Note. The Gus
tomary British pronunciation is
BUFFET" to rhyme with the tuffet
that Miss Muffet sat on. Words
from the French take quite buffet
ing from the British, too, it seems)
RISQUE, another French loan
word, is often pronounced "RISS-
kay" But in good American usage
the French pronunciation prevails,
thus: reesS-kAY.
Overheard on Main street: "And,
as far as clothes are concerned, she's
the unchickiest girl in our crowd"
1t took little while to translate
that one: She has less chic
than any other girl in our crowd"
American-English is flexible
language, and lends itself admir-
ably to invention. But "unchickiest"
Is :. well. let us say that only its
mother could love it.
(By the way chic is actually a
shortened form of chicane, sharp
Evening star., 1944-12-18

or unfair subterfuge; chicanery.D
The correct pronunciation is: sheek.
@. What is the difference between
capital" and capitol?
A. Use capital for all meanings
except one: A Statehouse, building
where legislature or congress
meets" Such building is capitol.
Hence, the Capitol is located in the
capital city of Washington.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Without caus-

Baksi last night methodically pun
meled Lee Savold off the wartime
heavyweight top row in a 10-rounG
scrap witnessed by disappointingly
small crowd Of 1916 at Wrigley
Field.
Covered with Savold's blood, the
22-year-old ex-coal miner from
Kulpmont, Pa, bull-shouldered his
way to second decision over the
battling merchant mariner in three
meetings this year.
Baksi, outWeighing his foe 213s.
to 1879 pounds, lured Savold into
constant infighting which touched
off frequent boos. but won the rank
ing civilian heavyweight the nod of
Referee Walter Brightmore and one
of the two judges. The other Judge
voted for draw
The 27year-old Savold, bleeding
profuSely from the nose and q cut
over the left eye after third-round
cutting by Baksi, perked in the fifth
to rock the rugged Pole with several
stiff lefts to the jaw But Baksi
recovered quickly and the rest of the
battle was marred by clinching
which went entirely against the out
weighed Savold.
Nearly stealing the thunder was
the semifinal bout between Larry
Lane, Trenton, N. j., and George
Parks, Washington, D. C. The
scheduled eight-round heavyweight
mix ended in the third when Lane
making his first start since the death
OF his last opponent, Lem Franklin

Twilight Tear Seeking

Record for Stable
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Twilight
Tear, fast slip of miss who has
become the darling of the turf, goes
after her 18th straight victory and
a new all-time money-winning rec
ord for Calumet Farm at Belmont
Park today.
In going to the post in the 65th
running of the $4,000 Alabama
Stakes for the 3-year-old fillies the
Tear" has scared off all but three
opponents, William Woodward's S
Belair Stud entry of Vienna and
Thread O. Gold and Mrs. Dodge
Sloane's Dare Me.
A 1-20 choice in the overnight
odds, Twilight Tear seems a cinch
to snare the first prize of $12,5OO
and boost the Calumet earnings to
$48l 900, a new mark. In 1912 when
Whirlaway was burning the turi for
Warren Wright, owner of Calumet,
and Trainer Ben Jones, Calumet
set the present mark Of $475,09l.
BY winning Twilight Tear also
can boost her earnings to approx
mately $175,00p, thereby jumping
into second place as second leading
feminine money winner. Top Flight,
with $275,900, tops the list.

So much has been written about
the sins of omission and commission
of dog show judges that it is re-
freshing to hear something about
the other side of the picture. Arthur
M. Lewis, an exhibitor with 80 years
Of experience in the show ring, who
never has judged, has much to say
about the faults of the exhibitors.
He asks how many exhibitors have
the knowledge, courage and willing
ness to judge dogs, and how many
feel they know enough to criticize
those who do judge. In a proposed
standard for exhibitors, he asked
that the exhibitor consider some Of
the judges problems, such as travel
ing difficulties, judging schedules
held up by tardy exhibitors, at
tempts to confuse the judge by mis-
handling the dog, rings too small for
real judging, and the necessity Of
balancing quality against condition.
He also points out that most judges
come merely for expenses or at their
own expense. The exhibitor should
be thankful that there are a suffi-
cient number of people interested in
the dog game to do that. Were there
not, there would be no dog shows
as we now know them.
