THE FACE OF THE FIGHTER

[By Robert Edgren]

If you look at the latest modes fa champions, and compare them with the birds who held titles when it was customary for cham- pions to work at their trade in- slead

of posing as literati, or beauty models, you may notice a. slight difference in their looks.

Our business gealuses trying to tap out fortunes without risk have different profiles: They are nice smooth-looking lads, with oval faces, round soft chins, arched eyebrows. They have perfectly straight noses, eats like rose petals, and foreheads that rise per- pendicularly from their eyebrows to their hair. They try to look entirely unlike fighters. And that's all right. They aren't fighters, even though they have the shoulders of fighters and probably could fight pretty well if some body offered them substantial proof that they couldn't get the money any other way.

Mark Of The Fighter The slanting brow was the mark of the old time champions. They all had slanting brows and bulgy eyebrows. This peculiar charac- teristic of the fighter isn't new. The cave men had those protruding brows.. Students of eranial con- struction say this denotes superior perceptiveness. That is, the slanting brow and bump over the

Harry Greb, middle-weight world's champion and American light-heavy-weight champion, was the "fightingest" bit of humanity in recent years. Jack Dempsey said Greb was "a busy bee-al- ways stinging." He whipped Tom Gibbons and Gene Tunney-both much bigger. Greb had the most sloping forehead I remember see- ing. His eyebrows bulged out in a bump an inch thick, and he must have had that acute ceptiveness, because he could hit from everywhere at once and land everything.

HENLEY ANECDOTE

STORY OF A FAMOUS LEANDER STROKE

The opening of Henley Regatta on July 8 prompted a correspon- dent in the London "Dally. Telo- graph" to recall an amusing story of a famous Leander stroke who used to drive his men along at a high rate without doing any work himself.

The crew behind him got rather tired of this, and one day secretly added an inch and a half on to his oar. John, to give him one of his nicknames, did not notice the addition, but was very much chagrined when he found that he was unable to get more than twenty-four strokes a minute out of his crew.

To the delight of the latter, he kept turning his head round and cursing them for their laziness.

After a sleepless night John went down to the boathouse by himself and measured his oar. With the greatest care he shaved ais blade down to five inches, and repainted it.

The crew were

due to row a course that day, and on the way down he carefully set the stroke at twenty-four, and once more swore at the crew all the time for their sluggishness.

Then they turned and started on the course. John went off at forty-four, and never dropped be- low forty-two. That was the last time anyone ever tried tricks of that kind on him.

Following the example of the police of the Shanghai Inter- national Settlement, the Chief of the Bureau of Public Safety of the Chinese Municipality of Greater Shanghai has decided to employ 22 women detectives and investigators. in an effort to earb the habit of women accomplices of criminals of carrying concealed weapons for the thugs. Since this decision was made a number of women candi- dates have been studying detective work, under the supervision of ex- perienced male detectives.
