Th. Rat nf th. Rockies Is ready for
the gong that will bring him face to
floor with the Bull of the Stockyard*.
The Rat is afraid of no man who
ever snagged a cigar butt. The Rat
Is training on cheese, and wants to
meet Firpo In a 24-foot trap.
He Is In better shape than ever,
and will soon he fighting standing up.
He weighs 200 pounds and defies
any farmer to chase him out of his
barn. The Rat was nibbling on a
sack of grain the other day, and says
he feels great.
He refused an Invitation to go on
a wagon picnic with the S. P. C. A.
■ The Rat is the new fighting name
of The Glutt and he is a credit to i*.
He lives up to this glorious title In
every way.
■When Firpo started the lictionary
habit of calling himself like a weasel
being paged In the zoo, the Glutt'
figured he should have a battle slogan
also. So he labeled himself The Rat
and Is striking terror Into the hearts
of lettuce.

The Rat will buet Firpo loose from

about as much chance as crumbs In

to take him for a long detour and lose
him on the way.
Managers of fighters who are
anxious 1o secure a great attraction

who is now handling The Rat's
oponge.
The sponge hag been painted yel

the ring, it looks like a big chrys

ble bow, picks up the sponge and
imitates sn actor getting a bouquet.
This fools everybody but the
sponge.
It's as aponge and it knows what
it is there for. If Firpo is a champ,
then 11 tons of pig iron is heavy

The Rat will fight Firpo In June

Rufftown Is sending 11 delegates to

It is spring in Rufftown now. the

U. S. Davis Cup
Team Announced
New Tork, May 9.—It was an
nounced today by the United States
Lawn Tennis association that R. Nor
ria WlHiams. Vincent Richards, Fran
cis T. Hunter and Watson Washburn
had been selected as the lawn tennis
team to represent America in the
Olympic games at Paris this summer.
Williams will act as team captain,
it was stated.
William T. Tllden II, national
champion, was not considered for the
squad, owing to his announced resig
nation from all American teams be
cause of the passage of the player
writer rule by the national associa
tion. Richards, who joined Tilden in
his stand, only to reconsider his resig
nation at the solicitation of the Davis
cup committee, was one of the first
nominations ’'"errtl, however.
No effort was made to couple the
four men Into doubles combinations,
but tt is understood that Williams
and Washburn will team up as part
ners and that Richards and Hunter
will do likewise. The brunt of the
singles play will fall upon Williams,
Richards and Hunter.
The personnel of the squad assures
America of much sounder representa
tion at Paris than was thought pos
sible some weeks ago.
Williams is No. 3 in the singles
ranking and was a member of the
winning Davis cup doubles team.
Richards Is No. 4 in the list, while
Hunter reached the finals sgainst Bill
Johnston at Wimbledon laat year and
was a semi-finalist in the national sin
gles championship.
Final selection of the team was an
nounced by the Davis cup committee
of the United States 1-awn Tennis
association after Richards, who has
been employed by a news agency to
cover the Olympics, wa* given a
week's leave of absence, which will
permit him to play at Paris in con
formant with ths Olympic player
writer rule. Richards recently with
drew this resignation from ths team
when assured his status would be
cleared
Hunter, No. 5 on ths national rank
ing list, was named to flit the vacancy
