two pugilists strictly speaking, but
I'd hate to lose so much every day,
I mean the dough I could have won in
that four handed penny ante game
which I missed 'cause the ed made
me see those two in Toledo. It used
to be all right in Toledo before- the
middle of May, but now I'd just as
soon be in the Sahara.

ain't it funny what a peculiar bunch
human gang is. You hear the
ple goin' around shoutin' and
aning about the high cost of beef
I meat and this bird Rickard comes
ig arid qffers Jess Willard 100,000
oleons to jump into a fight ring
the fourth and exhibit his hulk to
public. And the ever sympathetic,
ily-buncoed mass pays 60 plunks
to see some 400 pounds of beef
-ce about for 36 minutes.
don't want to philosophize but I
e to see the public buncoed all of
time. Today his nibs, the hon-
ble ed came to me and asked me to
te a line of dope to show up some
these seise birds and put the easy_
n' public on the path to some soft
gh.
Vell, strictly speakin' I ain't in

But when it comes to losin' other.
people's money I cut in with an ex-
cuse. I know how it is to have some
other dude lose your hard earned
,shekels for you. I listened to Ring
Lardner chirp once, when he picked
a winner, strictly speakin', and say,
listen you to me, there ain't no other
bird in this universe which can com-
pare with Ring when it comes to pick-
in' something with the "lost" label on
it, except Hughie Fullerton, and when
one of those guys picks a winner,
then it's time for Bryan to stop drink-
in' grape high balls. t
As I was sayin', strictly speakin', I
went to see the champ and Jack go
thru their stunts. Well, I ain't brag-
gin' of course, but I know a guy which
would give a good account of himself
with either of those two fellows, and
I ain't as big of either one of them.

WE HAVE THE TWO PIECE KIND WITH
THE WHITE BELT
GEO. J. MOE, "Sport Shop"
Naturally, I ain't the kind to knock
anybody but when I saw Willard and
Dempsey, they none of them had any-
thing but a couple of gloves. Why, in
Willard's camp, strictly speakin',
hardly no action took place. Nobody
was knocked loose from the floor, like
I epected and Willard was so slow
that Monaghan could of hit Jess with
a ring post, only Walter was too grog-
gy to even lamp one. Well, we
couldn't see any improvement in Wil-
lard. He eats as much as ever and
he's just as big and good natured. So
after talkin' with Jess for a time we
couldn't help feelin' sorry for Demp-
sey, for we don't think Dempsey has
got a chance against the big boy when
they step into the ring. Dempsey
ought not even go into the ring. Wil-
lard is a convincing talker.
Well, we didn't bring our machine
with us to Toledo, strictly speakin'
because we had heard all hotels were
filled and garage -men were getting
three smackers per seat per capita in
vacant buses over night. We hated to
hire our car out for use as an im-
promptu hotel and we hated to pay
the three smackers per, so we slept
on the beach. It was cheaper and
safer. Besides I like all healthy ex-
ercises. All this leads me to say, as
it were, that we had to therefore,
walk to Dempsey's camp. Well, when
they said that Dempsey was trainin'
at Maumee Bay, we had no idea he1
was trainin' in the bay. I asked a
bug on the shore among the crowd,
who was gonna stage the new vaude-
ville act of trained seals. He looked
at me and wanted for me to show my
ignorance I guess, by blushing, as it
were, 'cause what I thought was a
seal was only none other than Demp-
sey swimming in the bay.
Well, sir, I didn't get a ring side
seat for my half rock, and when two
dark birds climbed in the ring I asked
if they was stagin' a prelim as it were,
until Dempsey got dried. Well, again
they showed my ignorance when they
told me the white fellow was Demp-
sey. I looked among the seconds for
Jack and some dude near by whisper-

A number of these dresses formerly higher priced, will be
sold Saturday at this low figure.
The dresses themselves are unusually fine values, and the
sale comes at the very time women are wanting these cool sum-
mer frocks most!
Both light and dark patterned voiles are included in this
collection, but the 4emphasis is on the darker shades, which are
just as cool and far .more practical than those of lighter hue!
One frock in blue and, white foulard patterns, is trimmed
with collar, cuffs, and bands of dark blue taffeta. A demure
frock of gray and white block checked voile has sleeves wide at
the wrist with crisp white organdie collars and cuffs. It is trim-
med with the oddest pearl buttons, fastened on with wisps of the
goods.
A blue and white dotted voile dress has rather large green
coin dots scattered over its surface. Simple, but oh so effective,
is a frock developed in the tiniest of black and white diagonal
checks, with a narrow black tie of gros grain ribbon!
White Skirts
at $~. -
They are not "just white skirts"-they are white skirts with
individuality. For instance can't you imagine one of fine white
gabardine which buttons all the way down one ,side with large
pearl buttons, and has a long slit- pocket on the other side? Its
belt is a queer tucked affair such as you seldom see. Then there
is another skirt which opens to the side front with dozens of tiny
pearl buttons. It too has a slit pocket on the other side. Hem-
stitching is used in many interesting ways, and there is no end of
clever designing shown in the treatment of pockets!
Pique and gabardine are the materials.
