Gas In Stomach
Hurts the Heart
Don't suffer from dangerous gas
pressing around your heart, from
sourness, bloating or pain of acid in-
digestion. Stop worrying. Your
stomach simply needs an alkaline. For
safe, speedy, certain relief, take a lit-
tle Bisurated Magnesia—powder or
tablets. It quickly breaks up the gas,
neutralizes the acid, stops the pain
and keeps the stomach sweet and
strong and diges,jion perfect. It is
doing this every day for thousands --
it must do the same for you or money
refunded by reliable druggists the
world aver.
PENGUINS CRAVE ICE-COLD
HOMES
When eight penguins arrived re-
cently in Europe to be transferred to
a continental zoo, they caused great
trouble because they found the clim-
ate too warm.
The penguin, whose home is in the
antarctic, loves cold weather, and of-
ficials tried to devise a means of keep-
ing them cool. All plans failed until
a bag "icebox" was built for them,
and a "house" of heavy planks, with
a roof of heat -resisting tar paper,'
was erected in the box.
Each day five hundred pounds of
ice, cut in layers, was spread on the
floor, and then the birds were quite
happy.
Penguins are remarkable birds.
They mate in the middle of the win •
ter, in spite of the fact that they live
in the world's coldest region. Their
object is to allow the young to be-
come fully fledged before the next
winter for young penguins are help-
less for months after their birth. If
they were left to fend for themselves
during the very cold period few would
survive the battle for existence.
Although it is classed as a bird,
the penguin cannot fly. It uses its
wings both for swimming and walk-
ing. Being a quarrelsome bird at
times, although it usually lives at
peace with its neighbors, the penguin
also finds them very useful for fight-
ing. Penguin eggs are considered a
delicacy by some people. They have,
however, a strong fishy taste which
prevents them becoming popular.
GOING HOME BY PROXY
When plans for a trip home went
wrong, John felt distressed about
breaking the news. He telephoned
his folks, who were disappointed, of
course, but suggested a substitute.
Long Distance! So John called them
every evening and they exchanged
the day's news. It was almost as
good as being there!
REWARDS IN PRIZE RING TO
ONLY FAVORED FEW
Few people make any money out of
boxing. For one champion there are
a thousand preliminary boys, and for
one astute manager who pays his in-
come in the higher brackets there are
a hundred who live in shabby board•
ing houses and eat irregularly. That
is the seasoned opinion of Jack Ko-
foed, a veteran sports writer who con-
tributes an article on the subject to
the North American Review., It is
en almost universal human tendency,
*hen considering the financial re-
*ards of. any occupation, to think of
the leaders in that profession and not
of the failures. One thinks of the
Hollywood stars with their incomes
of a couple of hundred thousand dol-
lars a year, and does not let the mind
dwell upon the thousands of failures
-who would be glad of stenographers'
jabs. One thinks of Dempsey who
earned a million or two, and not of
Kid Sock, the former Tiger of
ThamesvilIe, who would consider him-
self lucky if he had a steady pob in
a paper -box factory. One does not
hear of university professors being
•g.,rpaid any such salary as Deacon Hays
receives, and assumes that they are
rewarded in beggarly fashion. It is
probable that they are about the best
paid class in the community, contrary
to popular superstition.
One can go into any one of a score
bf gymnasiums in New York and find
groups of sweating 'boys boxing or
punching the bag or going through
other onerous and non-intellectual ex-
ercises and on inquiry will learn that
they are prize lighters or want to be
rirh.,i S,rf it
prize fighters. They toil for hours a
day and persistently for weeks or
months at a time for the privilege of
going on as preliminary boxers in
some show which may pay them $100
for their work. Obviously it cannot
pay every week, and so these boys, as
soon as possible, like •to attach them-
selves to some manager who is the
capitalist of the fight game, and will
carry a boy through months when
there is no engagement available in
the hope that he may prove a cham-
pion some day, or at least a crowd-
pleaser and so get remunerative en-
gagements.
!,
Through these gymnas-
iums and boxing clubs the managers
circulate looking over the youngsters,
and particularly looking over any
heavyweight youngster who gives
promise, for it is to the heavyweights
that the supreme prizes are awarded.
The manager usually retains from
one-third to one-half of the money
the fighter earns in purses, which
seems a considerable percentage in
view of the fact that the manager has
to stop few jolts from trained fists,
but it is really not extortionate. The
average fighter would need a manager
quite as much as a manager would
need a fighter since the average fight-
er has little :business ability, and few
of them have that natural color that
would qualify them to act as their
own press agents. Moreover the av-
erage fighter is obliged to go some-
times for months before he has an
engagement, and in this period the
manager pays his room rent. Even
boxers who rate far above the pre-
liminary class are not always gold
mines, as Mr. Kofoed illustrates by a
fight of Harry Ebbetts, in Ike Dor-
gan's stable. He is usually paid from
$1,500 to $2,500 on performance, but
sometimes works on a percentage.
On one of these occasions in New
York a terrific storm blew up, cutting
down attendance at the entertainment
and Ebbetts' share was $472. After
deducting expenses he had just $125
for two weeks' of hard unremitting
toil, and with no immediate prospect
of another more profitable bout.
But though few of the managers
ever make any real money, they are
gamblers and continue in the hope
that they may nick up a champion.
They rememibe • that Jack Kearns was
shoddy and" down at the heels when
he got hold of Jack Dempsey; that
Jim Buckley was a hack driver when
he got himself signed as manager for
a penniless sailor known as Josef
Cuckoshay, who later proved to be no
other than our friend Jack Sharkey;
and that Tommy Loughran, when an
unknown newsboy, insisted that his
friend Joe Smith should handle him,
greatly to the subsequent enrichment
of Smith. Now and then they pick
nut a glittering chunk of iron pyrites
like Knute Hansen, a magnificent
specimen, big, fast, clever and with a
devastating punch. But nobody who
ever handled him made any money,
for Hansen never could work himself
up to the point of really fighting,
though he had the natural qualifica-
tions which might have made him
Tunney's successor.
Even when one gets a champion he
is apt to earn every dollar he receives
as manager. There is the case of Bat-
tling Siki and Bob Levy. Siki became,
cruiser weight champion of the world,
but his manager newer knew when he
would appear so'ber in, the ring. He
would disappear for days at a time.
Again and again Levy was roused
from his sleep to bail Siki out of jail.
When he was paid off after a fight he
insisted upon receiving dollar bills
which he would distribute right and
left. He would be"roke in a week
and Levy would have to carry him ov-
er until his next fight. When he was
found dead in the gutter with a knife
thrust in his heart it was Levy. who
-Paid his funeral expenses. And it was
Dan Hickey, after guiding Paul Ber-
linbach to fame and fortune, who in
the end induced the boxing commis-
sioners to refuse Berlinbaeh permis-
sion to fight. Hickey might have
earned a few more thousand dollars
with him but he saw that the injur-
ies he was likely to receive would
permanently injure him and he was
too fond of Paul to take that kind of
money. So when Paul insisted on
fighting, Hickey had a private talk
with the commissioners and now Ber-
linbach still sound in mind and body,
is able to enjoy the income of the
$300,000 which Hickey helped him put
aside for a rainy day.
"Any woman can shoot one man
and go free, bait suppose she shoots
two?" says an editorial. That's big-
amy.
