Bryan Downey has had a long. 1 tough road from the ham-and-egg r era to the top of the middleweight [ division. One hundred fights have battered |i Jiis head and face into an altogether t different shape than nature intend g, ed it to be. K A few years ago Downey was a p lithe-llmbed. smooth-faced, curley W headed kid. Now his eye sockets bulge, ills ears are thickened, his nose has been battered shapeless, some of his natural teeth have been wrecked, and his body is knotted with short, bumpy muscles ,once slim and long. Hero Worship Recently Horry Heilman, batting king of the Detroit Tygers,, was handed a baseball by a small boy and asked to sign his name on the i cover. Heilman looked it over and read “Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Hard ing." Then he smiled. "Take the cover off kid, I’ll sign underneath on the yarn,” said (liarry. Boys used to want to be presi dents'. But in building summer air castles, that ambition is divided. Why Laugh? Jess Willard is practically cer tain to get another chance. Tex Rickard has the word of the Kansas potato king and oil mil Jionaire'. that he is in shape so that six weeks of intensive training would make him fit to fight. Lots of folks laugh when Wil lard's name is mentioned. They cant’ forget what happened at Mau mee Bay. It’s natural they shouldn’t One thing’s in Willard’s favor. •He is sincere. It would be a dif ferent kind of a fight. Redskins Earle T. Jimerson, full-blooded Indian, has signed to pitch baseball with his southpaw for the New York Yankees.

Every fel low knows that and every follow should feel that it is part of his duty as a member of the "gang” that uses the swimming hole to contri bute something toward the building of a spring-board whether he con tributes time and good muscle to ward the actual building of it or whether ho contributes tools or spending money toward buying the accessories. Get a good two or two and a half inch plank (pine or hard wood), a foot or a foot and a half wide and ten or twelve feet long. That is the most important part of the con trivaflee and it should be full of life and springiness. Next get some short and discard ed ends of a "two-by-four.” Pieces large enough for our purpose can be acquired from any good-natured carpenter’s shop for nothing, I dare say. Then somewhere in the woods In the vicinity of the swimming hole find some "down" trees of goodly thickness that will yield a fairly siz able log, say a foot in diameter and from six to ten feet long. By the time you get these the gang will all be assembled at the swimming hole. Set them to‘ work. Put several fellows overboard build ing cribs (Fig. 1). Others can wield axe, chisel or saw and cut the log up into two sections and flatten one side of each section, after which they can drill holes for bolts (Fig. 2). It is a serious thing to put a bolt through the center of your fine big springboard, for it weakens it. For that reason you need cleats. These are built of the small pieces of “two-by-four” as in Fig. 3 and set apart just enough so that the board fits into them comfortably. By this time the cribs should be completed. Then you are ready to put the log with the cleats into place, anchoring it well with stones. Mean while other boys bolted the shore end of the board to the second sec tion of log and scooped out a hole in the bank into which the log is fitted and also anchored with heavy stones. When all this is done you have a regular backwoods springboard. Ruth Again Wins Harold G. Lentz, world’s champion surf caster, tried to beat Babe Ruth’s swat record of 470 feet in a contest at the Polo Grounds. Lentz, using a four-ounce lead, cast 440 feet. The photo shows both in action. VVVVWVVWWVWS^ “Cabinet Golf” And now we have “cabinet golf,” introduced by Secretary of War Weeks and the President himself. It’s a strange, strange game. The rules are that each member acts as his own caddy and only putts are permitted. But strangest of all—they use tennis balls! Look for your self! Ever see a golf ball that size? The picture was taken at Weeks’ mountain estate near Lancaster, N. H., where the President spent a vacation. wmCRMOMETK NOj DATE I NO "ITsi_es | "p / 54^ “ 53_27 1 50 1 52_27 I ' 52. In_24' !
