DOMESTICATED WOLVES
The Moscow zoo boasts of two
wolves which apparently are as tame
and trustworthy as dogs. They were
captured when they were puppies
and ever since have been given kind
and patient training. Their utter
lack of viciousness and desire to re-
turn to their native element seems
to indicate the fallacy of the belief
that grown wolves become dangerous
even though they have been trained
from puppyhood.—Pathfinder Maga-
zine.
IT’S NOT IN
MANY CEREALS
® Nothing anyone eats is more impor-
tant than Vitamin B—the vitamin for
keeping fit. Yet it isn’t in many cereals,
when cereals pi osed to be our best
source of this food element.
Many are nervous, poor in appetite,
system out of order, because their daily
diets lack enough of the precious Vita-
min B for Yeohing fit. ;
Few things keep them back likea lack
of this protective food element.
So give everyone Quaker: Oats every
morning. Because in addition to its gen-
erous supply of Vitamin B for keepin
fit, it furnishes food-energy, muscle an
Iody-building ingredients. For about }4c
per dish.
Start serving it tomorrow for a 2-weeks
test. Quaker Oats has a wholesome, nut-
like, Iuscious appeal to the appetite.
Flavory, surpassingly good. All grocers
supply it. :

ADVENTURERS’
CLUB
: “Battle for Life” .
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter.
ELL, I hope you boys and girls know how to handle a pair of
chop sticks, because today we're going to China.
We're going with the United States marine corps, but don’t think
that’s going to be any special protection, because China’s a big coun-
try, and Shanghai is a big city. And the marines can’t be everywhere.
To tell you the bare and unvarnished truth about it, they didn’t even do
a very good job of protecting Marvin W. Atchison, who told me about it. And
Marv, I'll have you know, was one of their own boys—a Marine himself.
All his life, Marv Atchison had wanted to look over China.
Maybe he had that idea in the back of his mind when he joined the
Marine corps.
Well, if he did, the Marines sure did right by him, because they took him
there and gave him plenty of chances to see all he wanted of the doggone
country. : ;
Marv Wanted to See China—and Did! 4
And if Marv saw just a little more of China—well—that was his own mis-
take and not any fault of the outfit. :
Marv was on the U. S. S. Marblehead, one of Uncle Sam’s 7,500-ton cruisers,
when orders came to get out on the water and do a bit of sailing.
The Marblehead hit several ports in the West Indies, went through
the Panama canal to Hawaii, and then, to Marv’s entire satisfaction,
continued on across the Pacific, bound for China,
Most of the men aboard had never seen China, and, like Marv, were all
eager to set foot on shore. Marv and a shipmate were among the first to get
shore liberty. |
They piled into a sampan and headed for the docks of the International
settlement, and the first thing they saw on those docks were about a hundred
rickshaws, all lined up waiting for them.
Marv and his shipmate each grabbed themselves a rickshaw and
started to ride around. Everything was all right until they decided to
leave the International settlement and go over into the native section
of the city. Then, somehow or other, the two rickshaws got separated
and Marv lost his buddy.
With his pal gone, Marv’s first thought was to get back to the International
settlement. He had heard stories of the things that happened to lone Marines
prowling around in Chinese cities. :
It's Not Easy to Make a Chinaman Understand.
He tried to make his rickshaw coolie understand what he wanted, but the
coolie, although he had comprehended all the other orders that had been given
7
The Chinaman Dumped Him Out Onto the Ground.
to him, suddenly decided that he didn’t know what Marv was talking about.
Marv had to yell pretty loud, and shake his fist a couple of times
before the coolie was convinced that the dodge wouldn't work.
Then he said, “Me go back,” and headed for the International set-
tlement.
Marv watched the coolie pretty closely on the way back—determined that
if there was going to be any monkey business, he was going to know about it
first.
But the coolie didn’t try any tricks until they were safely back in the Inter-
national settlement. Then, suddenly, he turned the rickshaw into a dark alley.
Marv tensed his body and got ready for a scrap, but he was wholly unpre-
pared for what happened next.
The Chinaman, raising the handles of the rickshaw high in the
air, dumped him out backward onto the ground. Marv landed on the
back of his head, and for a minute the blow sort of stunned him.
Then, before he could get to his feet again, the coolie let out a war whoop,
and slinking, yellow-faced figures came pouring into that alley from all,
directions.
It was a situation which, to Marv’s mind, called for football tactics. He
made a flying tackle for the nearest pair of his assailants, and they went down.
Life Is Cheap and Murder Easy in China.
But at the same time, Marv felt the weight of a dozen others as they piled
on top of him, kicking, scratching, clawing. 3
Flat on the ground, held down by the weight of 10 or 15 Chinese,
Marv couldn’t move. He felt hands reaching into his pockets—search-
ing for his money—but he couldn't do a thing about it.
At last he felt a skinny claw groping in the right pocket—coming out with
his money. What would those babies do now? Would they leave him alone,
now that they had what they wanted?
Or would they kill him, to keep him quiet, or—well—just on general prin-
ciples. Life is cheap in China!
But what these coolies would have done is a question that was
never answered. For suddenly the Chinese were on their feet again,
scrambling for the nearest exits.
A Sikh policeman—one ofthe guardians of the law in the International set-
tlement—had appeared at the mouth of the alley, slashing right and left with
his wooden truncheon.
The Sikh had caught one of the coolies, and Marv grabbed another. They
took them back to the police station, and Marv, his clothes almost torn off his
back, returned to his ship, his head full of good advice about watching your
step with Shanghai rickshaw coolies,

Box Score Silent
on Chapman Yen
to Join Senators
HINGS the box score never told
me:
Although he probably squabbles more
with the Senators than with any other
club, Ben Chapman wants to be traded
to Washington if the Yankees decide
to dispose of him. . .. In the Pine Tree
league, a Maine semi-pro baseball cir-
cuit, they pay the two umpires $25 but
the visiting team gets only $15. . . .
Mike Phipps of Carnegie Steel and the
Guest brothers of Woolworth's will not
play polo in Argentine this winter “be-
cause they were not offered enough
dough.” . . . The most successful dog
track in the country probably is at Re-
vere, Mass., where the mutuel handle
often exceeds $100,000 a night. One
night it hit $206,000.
Maerial, a two-year-old that has
earned $17,165 this season, cost $550
as a yearling, . . . Teddy Boy, bought
for $11,500 at the same time, is un-
known to those who are familiar with
juvenile runners. . . . That feud be-
tween the Dodgers and the|Giants does
not stop with the hired help on the
field. John Gorman and Edide Bran-
nick, the rival traveling secretaries,
never speak to one another if conversa-
tion possibly can be avoided. . . . While
a member of the Hakoahs in Vienna
Ernie Schwartz, now manager of the
New York Americans, played soccer in
20 countries.
Bookmakers will tell you that one
of the nation’s most eminent political
bosses has lost $200,000 a year betting
on the races during the past 20 years.
. . . He will, they say, invest $1,000 on
almost any kind of tip and is keeping
up his average at the New York meet-
ings. . . . The province of Quebec long
has known how to handle the vexing
problem of what to do with wrestlers.
. .. On Sundays and holidays up there
they perform along the roads as come-
ons to attract business to the hot dog
and beverage stands. . .. Kostka, Min-
nesota’s All-America back, who will
play for the Brooklyn pros this fall,
was a flop as a baseball player at Day-
ton. Jim Bowdoin, who will appear
at tackle for the Dodgers, was a very
good umpire in the Middle Atlantic
league.
It’s Patrick You
Fans Can Thank :
Lester Patrick, coach of the New
York Rangers, started the custom of
numbering players so that the fans
might recognize them more readily.
That was during the season of 1911-12,
when he operated the Pacific Coast
the first college team was adorned with
numbers, Old Man Stagg doing the job
for his University of Chicago eleven.
... City college (N. Y.) football players
bruise easily and no wonder. The
ground upon which t\ey must practice
and play is so bare of grass and packed
so hard that if one of them was to be
tossed upon a concrete floor he prob-
ably would think he was landing in a
feather bed.
Shrewd horsemen are whispering that
heroin won’t show in a saliva test no
matter what track doctors may say
about it—They also are whispering
that—but perhaps it would be a shame
to disturb the hard working racing
commissioners with such news, so let
it go... . Although his ankles will not

IDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1935 nd a
INCE it has been pretty well estab-
lished by sob sisters, people who
pay $100 for 30 cents’ worth of card-
board entitling them to perch in the
twenty-sixth row, and by other kindred
boxing experts that Joe Louis is the
greatest fighter of all time, perhaps the
subject could very sensibly be ducked
today. Yet, since the same well-in-
formed proclaimers of pugilistic gospel
seek to prove their omnipotence by ad-
vancing the delightful contention that
Max Baer quit cold at Yankee stadium,
it is possible that some mature consid-
eration will do the whole business no
harm,
Obviously Louis is one of the most
gifted young men ever to receive a
$200,000 reward in this racket that
sometimes is known as sport. Also he
has been magnificently trained and the
financiers who handle his affairs have’
done so with rare skill, ~
He is a talented boxer, perhaps as
superior in this line today as Jack
Johnson was 25 years ago. He hits
‘hard and accurately with either hand.
That the Baers, Carneras, Birkies, Pir-
rones, Browns and Levinskys he has
battered were not laid out cold as were
various stalwarts upon whom Sam
Langford and Peter Jackson practiced
is not a matter of particular moment.
Although Louis seems to have more
love of, and instinct for, fighting than
did the ex-marine, his ring tactics more
closely resemble those of Gene Tunney
than of any other modern champion.
And, for all his eminence, Tunney also
was a fighter who bruised and dazed
his opponents when a man of lesser
skill but greater power might have fin-
ished them with one blow that needed
no referee’s count to prove its worth
and efficiency.
Such are the facts that have been
made plain about him while he has, in
such a short space and
with such consum-
mate ease, been tri-
umphing over Baer,
Carnera and Levinsky.
That the three of
them, two former
champions and a man
who once was the stur-
diest of also rans, could
not land a total of six
punches on him ig an-
other previously un-
considered fact that
may very well be ac-
Joe Louis
claimed as an extremely artful boxer.
Not Louis’ Fault
Talent Is Scarce
That Floyd Johnson, Soldier Bob
Martin, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jr.,.and Jack
McAuliffe, Second, were young men of
rare ability who received high ballyhoo
and then collapsed when least expected
need not be advanced as an argument
that some day he may also blow up
suddenly. Neither is it necessary to
point out ‘that probably ail of these
young men beat better opponents than
he has yet faced. It is not Joe Louis's
fault that heavyweight contenders are
a dime a dozen now. Like Dempsey,
Sullivan and those other masters who
preceded him he has met the best that
have so far been available and has
beaten them all. A man can do no
more. ;
What will happen when he has out-
boxed, outsmarted and quickly bowled
over one or two more opponents and
eventually gets around to Jim Brad-
dock is something that po one can de-
cide at this distance. I make only two
predictions. One of them is that Joe
then will very well prove that he can
take it and return it after taking it.
The other is that he will be meeting a
man as cold as himself, as unafraid
and, possibly, as well informed as to
the value of a left hand in winning
prize fights.
Certainly Louis met no such man
upon his most recent outing. Baer
seemed dazed even be-
fore he was first
slapped upon the lug.
He performed as a
wide open target, made
no effort to pick
punches out of the air
save with his chin,
seemed determined
from the start to do
as many wrong things
as possible.
. That one of the
wrong things he did
was to quit deliber-
ately on his knees instead of going out
swinging is not suggested here, though.
| leave that charge to the boys along
Broadway who know so much about so
many things...
Those who saw Carl Morris, Tom
Heeney and Jess Willard stand up un-
til their faces were crushed into pulpy
black and blue masses perhaps are
judges as to how long a man can with-
stand fists that slash at him relent-
lessly. It may even be that those who

The Albanians are an old people,
the oldest it is said in southeastern
Europe. Their ancestors occupied the
country along the eastern shore of the
Adriatic, called Illyrium by the Ro-
mans and Epiros by the Greeks, before
the beginnings of Rome or Greece;
turies they have at different times
tlans and finally the Turks, they have
on account of their strong nationalistic
character been able to maintain them-
selves practically unmixed with other
peoples.
About the most that can be said,
notes a writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, is that their various over-
lords have here and there added a
few words to their otherwise unique
language. Like the Scotch and the
Welsh, their mountain homes defied
complete subjugation.
While the Albanians are one of the
CN A TA BE
also one of the most primitive. Their
seclusion arrested their development
centuries ago with the result that
their mode of living more resembles
that of medieval than modern times.
The interrelation of society is almost
that of feudal Europe, the large land-
holders exercising great power within
their own domain and collectively be- |
ing the governing force in the coun-
try. The principal occupation is stock
raising. Agriculture, where it exists
at all, is performed in the ecrudest
manner. Nor has any advantage been
taken of a climate where mary fruits,
including mulberries and grapes, could
be grown.
Trait and Quality
A trait is any distinguishing feature
or quality, especially of mind or char-
acter, or anything produced by them.
Quality is the element, form or mode
of being or action of anything which
seems to make it distinct from other’
things; distinguishing character, ete.

Yet such opinions can only be
thoughts without authority. No out-
sider is qualified to say what goes on
in the heads and hearts of those who
are inside the ropes.
That Baer probably knew he was ili
qualified to face a strong young op-
ponent though is something else again.
Indeed the gloves that he wore still
provide mute evidence of that.
Most gloves that have gone through
a fight are wadded here and there, of-
ten soggy from the water bucket or
from sweat, occasionally stained with
the blacker dye that is blood. The
gloves worn by the former champion
still are brown and new. There is no
dent or mark on the left one. That is
as should be, for he never landed more
than a fluttering blow with it. The
right one is only slightly marked and
stained. That also is as should be.
He landed with it only three times.
