SOME folks think that Gink was
a referee because he was al
ways the third man cut of the
ring.
He was such a favorite in Rough
town that the ambulance clerks al
ways carried him out on their shoul
ders.
When Tex Rickett.v promoted
that big contest between the cat
and the canary (link fought the
semi-final. His opponent was Jim
Corbett, a paying teller from the
Wallop Exchange National hank.
The Roughtown champ started
to deal out the slow poison in the
first round. Corbett started to look
for a neutral corner in a round
house.
Corbett slapped Gink so hard that
Heinz changed his number to 58 in
stead of 57. Gink came right back
with a slam that made the 20-Mule
Borax people add 30 more donkeys
to their wagon.
Then Corbett changed his tactics
and Gink stopped the fight to put on
bis neckklace of non-skid chains.
Tf the ranvaa had been a Turkish
prayer rug. Gink would have won
the bobbing championship.
Gink was a radio fan and always
listened In on the canvas. This fight
was stopped by the referee who
was a bug on rarp porcelain and
had hopes of buying Gink's jaw
cheaper by (he piece.
Ater this fight Gink offered a big
reward for his teeth and got most of
them back. Then he Rtarted in to
train for Leonard. But Leonard al
ways refused to meet him, ns he
knew Gink was no marionette.
Sonic folks think that the Rough
town hoy got his rep playing with
paper dolls. That is wrong, be
cause Gink had a set of tin sol
diers.
Tex Ricketty has posted a forfeit
in a hollow tree and is willing to
hack Gink against Firpo or Demp
sey.
Especially Klrpo. There Is a tele
phone booth In Rouglitown that will
make a natural arena for this fight.
Is the world going to lay back on
its hinges and see Firpo claim the
marbles when Gink is ready to lay
lown his toys and meet the South
k American challenger?
All Gink wants is justice, provided
he has a friend on the jury.

pitcher, who joined the Boston Nation
als this spring, lias returned to his

Wonder If we will ever hear of Shel

How to build up your
Weight
TO be under weight often
proves low fighting-power in
the body. It often means you ar«
minus nerve-power, minus red
cell* in your
blood, minus
health, minus
vitality. It is
serious to be
minus, but
the moment
you increase
the number
of your red
blood-cells, you begin to become
plus. That’s why S. S. S., since
1826, has meant to thousands of
underweight men *.nd women, a
plus in their strength. Your body
fills to the point of power, your
flesh becomes firmer, the age lines
that come from thinness disap
pear. You look younger, firmer,
happier, and you feel it, too, all I
over your body. More red-blood- _
cells 1 S. S. S. will build them.

I tin- second game, 5 to 3.
□HOSE Omaha Buffalo** have
started out on the right foot
since leaving the home ground
and for once It looks as if the herd
might have a sueressful schedule of
games away from this city.
Sunday Konetchy and his war
riors trimmed the St.. Joseph Saints
in a double-header. Saturday they
won one and lost one, so taking the
series as it stands thus far, the Buf
faloes have three of the four con
tests to their credit. This after
noon the Saints and Buffs mix In the
final contest of the series and, with
little Clarence Darrough on the
mound, should grab off another
game, thus entrenching the team
safely in third place.
“Bnckshot" May started the first
(puue for fhe Buffaloes and lasted
until after one was down in the
ninth. The Saints started a late
rally in their final inning and By
ron Speece was rushed lo relieve
May on fhe mound. Speece held
the Saints in check and Omaha
copped the opener, 7 to 5.
Again in the second game Speece
was rushed to the hill to put a stop
to a Saint rally. Buckley started
for fhe herd and went five innings,
when Cullop, tlie old reliable, was
Inserted in the lineup as pitcher.
Niek went little longer than an in
ning, when tlie Saints started
aetin’ up and Speece took over th"
hurling duties. Byron again
checked St. Joseph and Omaha took
wpeece, It seems, is getting more
than his share of work on tha hill.
Byron hasn’t been hurling the brand
of ball he pitched earlier in the sea
son for the simple reason that he is
worked too often. Konetehy is using
Kpeece more often as a relief hurler
and then when it comes his turn to
take the mound for a full nine in
nings Byron Is always on deck.
XK of the big surprise in the
Western league Sunday was the
double dose of defeat handed the
Wichita club by the lowly Denver
Bears, 10 to 9 and 10 to 2.
This defeat of the Witches and
Tulsa’s double victory over Sioux
< it.v put I lie Oilers in first place.
But just how long the champs of
1922 will hold the top berth in a
question. Tulsa hasn't got very
many good hurlers. The pltehers,
however, have rounded into better
form than they were three weeks
ago, but the club will need a little
better hurling If it expects to keep
the lead from Wichita and Omaha.
The Wichita rluh sure fell down
yesterday against Denver. The rate.
Wlehita has been going this season
is one of the surprises of the
league. Few baseball men expected
the team to keep the lead this far.
But you got to hand all the roses
to Manager Gregory. This Wlehita
boss has kept his youngsters up In
the rare from the start with the aid
of good hurling and snappy field
ing.

that can be answered after the next

friend killed h> a full from a high rllff
and dies from nervous shock. Hack In
America. Neale enters his junior year at
the university anti takes renewed Inter
est in his studies anti In football.
Tho second half began with an ex
change of punts. Playing behind the
Cyclopean Mike. Neale hadn't much
work to do on the defensive, but once
Mike was boxed out on a straight
buck. Neale shot his'body in to plug
the hole ami turning caught a bony
knee in the back, right over the kid
ney*. As ho lay on the ground gasp
ing for breath, he could sen that he
hadn't even *tnpped tho play. It had
gone ovpr him for two yards. Oh.
Moll! What was the use? How his
back ached!
He got up shaken, feeling very sick
of himself, not meeting anybody's
eye. While T’cnn was kicking goal-,
Neale sow Biffy come bounding out
from tho sidelines, "I'm to take Crit
tenden's place," ho reported.
It was like a blow in the face. And
he had earned it. Neale walked to the
bench, took a blanket, looking care
fully away from the sub who held it
out for him, wrapped himself up,
forced hi* face Into Its usual expn s
sion of impassivity amt watched the
game. It was not much to watch:
Columbia badly up in the air. Pennsy
getting stronger every minute.
Ho dreaded the post mortem at the
football house, and took as deserved
Andrews' verdict, "Crittenden, you
were a total loss. I knew you meren't
much of a defensive back, but I
didn’t suppose a whale like you would
let a skinny little runt of a Penn
sub ride you bark five yard* and
dump you on your tail.”
The next day h* sat all through the
game on the edge of the subs’ bench,
his big muscles quivering with readi
ness to respond to an order to Jump
Into the -game, his heart stek, sick
within him because the order did not
come. Nobody so much as looked his
way. There ha sat, a big, useless
lump.

cried out behind his Iroquois mask of
Insensibility, 'T’ve got the strength.
I've got the speed. Am I a quitter?''
Then the nucleus of what was to be

this easy, inverted sentimentalism,
and small as the nucleus was. It set

inself to consider the matter In Ju
dicial. objective Judgment. Neale went
over his football for the last week as
though it had been that of another
player. "I did quit in the Penn game.
But other fellows have had a slump
and pulled out of It. And since then,
by God, I've played myself out in
every practice. I've given all there
was to give and then some!”
He held up his head at this. And
yet, If he wasn't a quitter, what was
the matter With him? "Biffy isn't
any world beater. Tat he must be
better than I am. or Andrews
wouldn’t give him my place. Andrews
Is square!”
He said that with the accent of the
mystic who affirms that God is good;
and It was very much the same sort
of cornerstone In the house he was
building to live In.
Along In the second half, Atkins
(the grad who had discovered Mikei,
stopped his caged tiger prowl up and
down the side lines and dropped into
an empty space beside Neale. "Look
at that!” he cried suddenly. "Did you
see that?”
Neale had noticed nothing In par
ticular—just a general tangle of
brown and blue Jerseys. “I don't think
they gained.” he said.
"Great Boott, no! Haven't yon any
eyes? They lost about half a yard.
The Brown left half tripped over
Mike's legs, but if he'd been a foot
further out, he'd be going yet. Mo
Fndden was suckered.”
He looked around sharply at Neale.
"If you could use your head like that,
you'd be worth something to the
team.”
Next Monday at practice Atkins
came and stood behind Neale (the
:bond selling business never seemed to
exiRt for Atkins during football sea
son). To Neale, as he played on the
scrub, Atkins poured out his accumu
lated tactical lore, the wisdom that
choked and strangled him because he
was no longer allowed to put It Into
action. Seizing on Neale, whom he
did not know personally at all, he
forced his way Into Neale’s attention
and held it fiercely on the business of
playing football intelligently.
"Have a look! Have a look! Sec
ondary defense finds the play before
It stirs out of its tracks! No, you
shouldn't have tried a tackle that
time,” he yanked Neale to his feet,
"they were too bunched. I made Just
that hr^ak In the Princeton game in
'99 and I’ve never forgiven myself.
If you'd spilled the interference, your
end would have got the runner.
Watch the ball! don't run In till you
know where it is—and then go to It!
Jtomellmes you can tell by the back's
eyes, give themselves away by look
ing where they're going to go, but an
old hand will cross you on purpose.
The knees are safer, mostly they lean
n little just before the ball goes back
Got to use old head! Bill Morley him
self couldn't stop a play If he didn't
know where it was. Ah’ that's the
stuff! That was just right—not too
soon or too late—and see how easy
It was!"
Bay after day the Wail street bond
hruker wrestled with Neale's latent
acuteness and forced It into action.
With shame, with praise, with re
proach and enthusiasm, he drew out
of Neale more than Neale had
dreamed could be there. If one—even
one—of the teachers of English or
Greek or chemistry or economics had
taught Neale as this semi-illiterate,
wealthy young barbarian taught him
. . . ! If Neale had given even a
tenth as much attention to any of his
courses , , , !
Neale clambered up over himself,
raging with hope: up over his first
realization that there was infinitely
more to thia problem than he had
ever supposed: tover his next, that he
lid r,*t knew even the rudiments of
the game he had thought he knew so
well: over his occasional glimmers
jf understanding, why he failed some
tnu-s and auceeeded at other times;
'over an increasing percentage of suc
cesses. ami finally stood, a little giddy
with the new height, on the peak
toward which Atkins had urged him,
where he waited clear-headed, strong,
confident, behind the tackle, hoping
the next play would cornu his way.
The play did come his way. The
varsity tried out against the scrub
its new delayed pass from close for
mation. To the left ii worked very
well. But when they trlM it to the
right, Neale dropped Rogers for a
loss, three times in succession. The
look on Atkins' face was glory.
The next afternoon Neale was back
on the Varsity and Biffy on the
scrub.
There was a pang in his beatitude,
a painful moment of generous dis
tress when Biffy camo up to con
grstulute him. The two hard faced,
frowsy-headed, gum-chewing young
savages gripped each other's hand In
sn Inexpressive silence: and each saw
deep Into the other's big heart as he
was rarely, in all his life thereafter,
to look into any other human being's
inner chamber.
rsirry carried it orr spienduuy, iseaie
thought, hut he couldn’t fool a man
who had ju«t been there himself. He
felt sorry for Blffy. He remembered
to be sorry for Biffy till the whistle
blew for the Annapolis game.
CHAPTER XXVII.
After the Thanksgiving gome, a
great peace, a lying-fallow time, a
period of unconscious adjustment and
assimilation of all that mass of ex
perience.
He killed a lot of time discussing
things in general with Gregg, reading
Gregg's books. He fell especially
hard for a worn volume of poems and
ballads. For six weeks he was con
vinced that Swinlmrne had said the

last word, a blighting word, on »thle*l
values. Tnen one day he noticed
that his favorite credo, "From too
much love of living, from hope and
fear set free ' could be sung to the
tune of the well-known extremely
coarse and eery urpoetlcal song
called. "Some die of drinking whisky,
some die of drinking beer," and ft
occurred to him suddenly that, when
you thought about It, both expressed
the same philosophy. It vVa* disgust
ing! It wasn't argument—but Just
the same it somehow put a crimp is
Swinburne! He went back to his his
tory and economics. But you couldn't
stew over your books all day long;
he drifted more or less with Billy
Peters’ Innocuous, evening dress,
dancing fussing set.
For the first time Neale began to
wonder about himself, to wonder what
sort of a human being he was any
way. that he didn't seem to fit in
really, with any crowd.
