whose specialty

is

wood

carving.

On

in the

are

a few of his

latest carvings.

Among them

is a

cowboy that

has

been judged

a

favorite among

Mar-

ines

who

have viewed

his

crea-

tions.

Experimenting with plaques

of

ducks

and

fish

and a

number

of

animals,

he has

graduated into

figurines, usually models

of

inter-

esting people. "White pine, cotton-

the

best material

for

carving," says

Crop. Bergquist.

The

showing

of

Brynes

and Des-

was

sensttional. Byrnes,

ev

the

clown

in the

ring, played with

his men. He

laughed when they

bit

him

with their Sunday punches.

He

talked

to

them during

the

fight

he

mugged

to the

photographers

after each knockdown,

but

when

he

finally started

to

work—it

was

a

revelation

to

watch.

His

knock-

downs were clean.

He

knocked

two

men to

sleep

to

walk

off

with

his

crown.

Discepoli

was

just

the

opposite.

He was all

business from

the

He

used both hands

to

good advantage,

but

made that
