damn%umioris\ Colmmin ; Every boxer of any intelli gence picks up something from the men he meets in the ring, from his sparring partners and from observing other boxers. It is generally an eosy matter to trace in a boxer the influence of some fellow he has been associated with. Perhaps the boxer has im proved, elaborated on the original. For instance. Jack Dempsey's best idea in his boxing defense goes bark to a chap who never be came widely known, yet who was a master boxer. This chap was Marty Farrell, a middleweight, now out around Los Angeles. Farrell is the only person that kept Farrell from being one of the foremost ring figures of the day. From working with Farrell, the heavyweight champion got that curious weaving style. The first time he displayed it was in ths second fight writh Bill Brennan at Madison Square Garden. Those who had seen Farrell recognized the atyls at once. FOR that fight. Dempsey trained in New York, doing his box ing at the gymnasium of the Old Granite State Training Ship for sailors. This ship, since burned down,, was in the Hudson river at the foot of Ninety-sixth. Demmev never before or since did so little work, for • battle—and Brennan stuck 1! rounds with him. It was then that the champion first worked with Farrell. , He seemed to fall In love with Marty's queer bobbing style. The Dempsey admirers who thought of him as a rip-tearing slugger, were almost horrified when they saw him in this strange guise trying to box Brennan instead of fighting him. THEY thought the change in style would prove disastrous to Dempsey, would take away his hitting power. Men who are going along suc cessfully with a certain method often meet with failure when thtr . try to adopt different ideas. Farrell was a light hitter. Some thought his lark of punching pow er was due to his weaving tyle. However, Dempsey went beyond Farrell, Improved upon his style, made it his own. Where Farrell used the weaving to avoid punches, Dempsey used it as a feint. From behind it Demp sey shoots his punches, his bob bing head confusing his opponent, j drawing leads that leave him open to punches. BEFORE he saw Farrell the champion had a trick of maving his head to pull a lead from an opponent, but he moved It for ward. Now he keeps It swaying from side to side. For all that lias been said of the power of Dempsey’s right hand, the writer is of the opinion his left hook is the most dangerous, Ills best punch. That Is his “develop ed” hand. He was not knocking opponents silly in the days when he de^nded entirely - upon his right. It was after he found his left that he became the knockcrout. <{t-vABE'' RUTH says he got ry batting "stance." his posl at the plate as he knocks homo runs, from "Shoeless Joe” Jackson, the great hitter from the Carollnas. Jackson drifts about the land, a melancholy memory of the crooked w orld series of 1919. Nearly every ball player now tries to copy Ruth, hoping to make home runs, to get as much fame as the big slugger of the Yankees. Some of them would be much better batsmen if they followed their natural style. Some of the boxers who try to Imitate Demp sey's omprovement of Farrell’s weaving motion would be better oft if they followed their own way of fighting.

( laude and Rayilss go sleigh riding with Lnid Royce and tiladys Farmer. They drive past the Trevor place, which Bay lie* announces he has bought. (laude lakes Lnld to Hastings on a shopping trip. While there they visit the Rev. Arthur Weldon, one of Claude's former professors. On the way home they encounter a severe thunderstorm. (Continued From Yesterday.) They pulled up at the Wheeler farm . juBt before dark, and Mrs. Wheeler came running out to meet them with j a rubber coat over her head. ''You poor drowned children!" she j cried, taking Enid In her arms. "How ! did you ever get home? I go hoped you had stayed In Hastings." "It was Enid who got us home," Claude told her. "She's a dreadfully foolhardy girl, and somebody ought to shake her. but she's a fine driver.” Enid laughed as she brushed a wet , lock back from her forehead. “You were right, of course; the sensible thing would have been to turn In at the Klee place; only I didn't want to." Later In the evening Claude was glad they hadn't. It was pleasant , to be at home and to see Enid at the supper table, sitting on his fath- , er's right and wearing one of his mother's new gray house (Tresses They would have had a dismal time at the Rices', with no beds to sleep 1 in except such as were already occu- ! pled by Rice children. Enid had 1 never slept in his mother's guest room j before, and It pleased him to think how comfortable she would be there. At an early hour Mrs. Wheeler took a candle to light her guest to bed; , Enid passed near Claude's (hair as she was leaving the room. "Have you forgiven me?" she asked teaslngly. "What made you so pig-headed’’ Did you want to frighten me? or to show me how well you could drive?" “Neither. I wanted to get home Good night." Claude settled back in his chair and shaded his eyes. She did feel that this was home, then. She had not been afraid of hi* father's jokes or disconcerted by Mahailey’s knowing grin. Her ease in the household gave him unaccountable pleasure. He picked up a book, but did not read. It was lying opep on bis knee when his mother came back half an hour later. "Move quietly when you go up stairs, Claude. She is so tired that she may be asleep already.” He took off his shoes and made his ascent with the utmost caution CHAPTER TV. Ernest Havel was cultivating hi* blight, glistening young cornfield on summer morning, whistling to himself an old German song which was some how connected with a picture that rose in hi* memory. It was a pic ture of the earliest plowing he could remember. He saw a half circle of green hills, with snow still lingering In the clefts of the higher ridges; behind the hills rose a wall of sharp mountains, covered with dark pine forests. In the meadows at the foot of that sweep of hills there was a winding creek, with polled willows in their first yel low green, and brown field* ile him self was a little boy. playing by the creek and watching his father and mother plow with two great oxen, that had rope traces fastened to their heads and their long horns His mother walked farefoot beside the oxen and led them; his father walked behind, guldirvg the plow HI* father always looked down. HI* mother's face was almost as brown and fur rowed as the field*, and her eyes were pale blue, like the skie* of early spring The two would go up and down thus all morning without speak Ing. except to the oxen. Ernest was the last of a long family, and as he play ed by the creek he used to won der why hi* parents looked so old. Leonard Dawson drove his car up to the fence and shouted, wnklng Ern est from his revery. He told hi* team to stand, and ran out to the ’dge of the field "Hello, Ernest." Leonard called. "Have you heard Claude \Vheeler got hurt day before vesterday?" "You don't say so' It can't be any thing bad. or they'd let me know.” "Oh. it's nothing very bad. 1 guess but he got his face scratched up In the wire quite a little It was the queerest thing I ever saw. He was out with the team of mules and a heavy plow, working the road In t'lat deep cut lietween their place and mine. The gasoline motor truck came along. making more noise than usual, may be. But those mules know a motor truck, and what they did was pure cussed ness They begun to rear and plunge in that deep cut. I was work ing my corn over In the field and shouted to the gasoline man to stop, but he didn't hear me. Claude Jumped for the critters’ heads and got ’em by the hits, but by that time he was all tangled up in the lines. Those damned mules lifted him off his feet and started to run. Down the draw and up the bank and across the fields they went, with that big plow-blade jumping three or four feet in the air every clip. I was sure It would cut one of those mules open, or go clean through Claude. It would have got him. too. if he hadn't Jtept his hold on’ the bits. They carried him right along, swinging in the air. and finally ran him into the barb-wide fence and cut his face anrl neck up." “My goodness! Did he get cut bad?" "No, not very, but yesterday morn ing he was out cultivating corn, all stijok up with court plaster. I knesy that was a fool thing to do: a wire cut's nasty If you get overheated out in the dust. But you oan’J tell a Wheeler anything. Now they say his fnee has swelled and is hurting him terrible, and he's gone to town to see the doctor. You'd better go over there tonight, and see if you can make him take care of himself.” Leonard drove on. and Ernest went hack to his team. "It's queer about that hoy," he was thinking. "He's big and strong, and he's got an educgtion and all that fine land, but he don't seem to fit in right." Sometimes Ernest thought his friend wag un lucky. When that Idea occurred to him. he sighed and shook It off. For Ernest believed there was no help for that: it was somethiag rationalism did not explain. The next afternoon Enid Royce's coupe drove up to the Wheeler farm yard. Mrs. Wheeler saw Enid get out of the car and came down the hill to meet her. breathless and dis tressed. "Oh. Enid! You've heard of Claude s accident? He wouldn't take care of himself, and now he's got erysipelas. He's in such pain, poor boy!" Enid took her arm. and they start ed up the hill toward the house. "Can I see Claude. Mrs. Wheeler? I want to give him these flowers." Mr* Wheeler hesitated. "I don't know if he will let you come in. dear. I had hard work persuading hltn to see Ernest for a few moments last night. He seew* so low-spirited, and lie's sensitive about the wav he’s handaged up. I", go to his room and ask him." "No, Just t.t me go up with you. please |f I walk In with you. he won t have time to fret about it. I won’t stay If he doesn't wish It. but I want to see him." Mrs. Wheeler was alarmed at this suggestion, but Enid ignored her un certainty. They went up to the third floor together, and Enid herself tapped at the door. "It s I, Claude May I come in for a moment T’ A muffled, reluctant voice answered. "No. They say this is catching. Enid. Any anyhow. I d rather you didn't see me like this." Without waiting she pushed open the door. The dark btlnds were down, and the room w ts full of a strong, bit ter odor. Claude lay flat In £fld, his head and face so smothered In surgi cal cotton that only his eves and the tip of his nose were visible. The brown paste with which his features were smeared oozed out at the gauze and made his dressings look untidy. Erld took in these details at a glance "Does the ltght hurt your eyes’ Let me put up one of the blinds for a moment, because I want you to see these flowers. I've brought you my first sweet peas." Claude blinked at the hunch of bright colors she held out before him. She put them up to his face and asked him if he could smell them through his medicines. In a moment he ceased to feel embarrassed. His toother brought a glass bowl, and Enid ar ranged the flowers on the little table beside him. "Now. do you want me to darken the room again’" "Not yet. Sit down for a minute and talk to me I can't sat much because mv face is stiff." "I should think it would be! I met Leonard Daw arm on the road yester day and h» told me how you worked In the field after you were cut. I would like to scold you hard. Claude." "Do It might make me feel bet ter.' He took her hand and kept her beside him a moment. "Are those the sweet peas you were planting that da> when 1 came ha-k from the west ?" "Ye*. Haven't they done well to blossom so early?” "Less than two months. That's strange,” he sighed "Strange? What?" "Oh. that a handful of seeds can “0/ the People, By the People, For the People” If We're not thinking now of Lincoln's d «cnpnon of the American Government— r But of one of this city’s most widely used public conveniences—The Omaha Bee “Want” Ad section f This daily clearing house of wants, offers and op portunities are helpful alike to the man in business, the woman in the home and the bo; girl seeking employment for the first time. tl Its services reach into every corner and every activity of the city.

MacCarthy-WUson Big Daylight Tailor Storo Southeait Cor. 15th and Harney Let me make you a cigar ” I HAD occasion recently to explain the manufacture of La Palina cigars to several business men. I brought from the factory the various tobaccos of which La Palina is made, and rolled several cigars for them to smoke. I wish I could do this for you. It would be easy for you to understand, then, why there are over one hundred and fifty million La Palinas smoked in the United States in a year. You could see, for instance, the deli cate texture of the fine imported to- • bacco, free from heavy stems and veins; you could smell its exquisite bouquet, even in the leaf; you could see how this tobacco is combined, as the cigar is rolled, to produce a flavor that is full bodied and rich, yet always mild; you could see how the fragrant leaf tips, the finest part of the tobacco, are distributed throughout the length of each cigar. Then you could see how the wrapper adds to your enjoyment of La Palina. You could see how fine it is in texture, how pliable, the lasting moisture it contains; how its own delicate aroma blends with the fine imported filler. And you could see why it is responsi ble for the even burning character of La Palina. In short, if I could make you one La Palina I am sure you would always smoke this cigar. But since I cannot do this, I do assure you that each La Palina at the cigar counter is made exactly as though it had been rolled for you.
