Rock-A-Bye Baker Yawns Out A 'Slumber' Promise

By DESMOND HACKETT

Bob Baker eased his large bulk into London the other day and gently growled. Between yawns, he figured he would beat our home-breal Dick Richardson when he eventually lounges into the ring at Harringay to day.

This big, ebony, 31-year-old Baker, with the sad lazy eyes and a half-moon moustache that is too tired to turn up at the ends, makes Rip Van Winkle just a gay old wideawake.

He never wanted to do anything as industrious às fighting. He just cleaned up roads in Pittsburgh and strictly minded his own business.

YESTERDAY'S RUGBY

Club 'A' Deservedly Beat 48 Brigade In A Most Exciting Match

By “PAK LO”.

Last night's game between Club "A" and 48 Brigade was without ques

The Club forwards proved a tower of strength for most of the game, though they tired a little in the closing minutes, but behind them they had a set of halven and threes who were outstanding in every department,
