"Coming events cast their shadows before" k ^ AVOID THAT FUTURE SHADOW* By refraining from over-indulgence Men w ho would keep that trim, proper form, women w ho prize the modern figure with its subtle, seductive curves —eat healthfully but not immoderately. Banish excessive ness—eliminate abuses. Be moderate—be moderate in all things, even in smoking. When tempted to excess, when your eyes arc bigger than your stomach, reach for a lucky instead. Coming events cast their shadows before. Avoid that future shadow by avoiding over-indulgence if you w ould maintain that lithe, youthful figure. Lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette a man ever smoked, made of the fin est tobacco—The Cream of the Crop— "IT’S TOASTED." Everyone knows that heat purifies and so "TOASTING" not only removes impurities but adds to the flavor and improves the taste. "It’s toasted" * Your Throat Protection—against irritation—against cough. ^♦Be Moderate!... Don't jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab* lets or other quack “anti*fat” remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok ing Lucky Strike Cigarettes will bring modern figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare that when , tempted to do yourself too well, if you will “Reach for a lucky" instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence in things that cause excess weight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form.

Feb. 27-He wasn't seven feet tall: the cane and spats i were missing: his clothing was not startling; he had no tin ears—in fact. Art Shires looked very much like an ordinary man. and Harlin gen was slightly disappointed. He was very much the same scrappy belilgerant who plaved ball in the Valley four years ago. The Unmodulated Broadcaster paraded down the Main Stem of Harlingen Wednesday afternoon | seated beside the mayor. Their! ben mots were reserved to them selves pretty well. “It certainly pays to advertise.” one disappointed customer said as he craned his neck at the disap pearing car, “to think that I came 20 miles for this.” Wednesday evening. Shires was truest of honor at a banquet held at La Peria. A group of about 50 strained their ears to hear some of Shires' far famed bashful speeches, but they were not forth coming. Shires will remain in the Valley several days, it is expected, before reporting to the White Sox train ing camp at San Antonio. Art is now in a salary row with the Pale Hose moguls.

After a man has been knocked down, said Tunney. the most im portant thing (or him to do is to get up. A(ter a man has an opera tion his most important considera tion should be to get well. He is now making satisfactory progress toward recovery o( his strength, and when that is accomplished he will turn his mind to thoughts of business. There was no sign of the invalid about the former champion as he his oldest friends at Miami Beach where he did much of winter con ditioning when he was the ruling king of the heavyweight group. He carried a cane to bolster a side weakened by the surgeon's knife, but the supporting stick seemed to apologize for its pres ence. there was no semblance of excess poundage, and. in fact. Gene reported his wreight 192 pounds, the figure at which he boxed at his best. A really game boxer never hears the count of ten.' he said. “If he can hear, he will get up." and again "the boxer who knows his business, after he has been knock ed down, remains down until the count of nine. That nine seconds belong to him, not to his opponent. It is his and his alone, and he has the right to it to clear his head. Only a foolish person. per haps some false pride, comes bound ing to his feet before he has his nine seconds res.t Probabiy he will be knocked down again, and then he may not be able to get up ” The former champion talked free ly and authoritatively on his only knock down in the seventh round of the second fight with Dempsey. "I had often thought, of course that I might be knocked down somatime, and I had considered how to offset this moment when, and if It came. I could do Uttlt. Dempsey kept his chin against his chest, and I could not hope to land a blow there. In 20 rounds I never struck him on the chin. So I adopt ed a third resolution. I circled end cot in two terrific punches on * of them the hardest I landed in eith er fight with Dempsey.” "What were your thoughts when you found yourself on the floor?" “How pleasant and how comfort able it was there, and this, mind you with one leg twisted up un der my back.” ELEVEN TEAMS ARE ENTERED Championship Game to Bo Played Saturday Night (Special to The Herald.)
