Yet one {s tempted to In ment that so extraordinary a fight ng machine as this lad never enjoyed :he rewards and honors that go with the he. To recall Waugh fn action and then to reflect on how slight a hurd’e kept h'm from the heights is to experience the shock one feels at seeing a rare vase lying shattered on the ground, or on discovering that the owner of a beautiful profile has~ the pock- marked cheeks that vacc'nation would have saved her from. A Marvel of the Ring. Of none of the boxers heretofore d'scussed in/these articles could it be so truly said that he “had every- thing.” Nature never constructed a more perfect specimen of the first class pugilist. A bra'n that operated with the speed of light; a punch that was a baby Big Bertha; a superin- stinct for glove fighting: skill and footwork that were like a cat's; a left hand that has seldom been equalled; natural weight; correct form, and the requisite vicious dispos'tion to win by a knockout if possible—a'l these and many other links in the chain of greatness were Waugh's. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, in No- vember, 1893, Bobby's record begins in 1910,, wher he knocked out eight- een men and dec'stoned h's only other opponent. In 1911 he stopped four- en men, including that modern Joe Grimm, Stanley Yoakum; won two. and drew six t!mes, twice with Charl White. Although only 18, he w fighting many fifteen and twenty round battles to a decision. No hot house plant for fr’endly referees ta nurture in nauseating. short, no de- cis'on bouts: was this boy! Five knockouts, two wins and two draws in 1912. In 1913, st'l! meeting some of the best Iightwe'ghts of the day, Waugh won seven, drew two and scored his first defeat. He was 21 when he cantered home a winner fn seven bouts, drawing in two and reg- istering four no dec's‘on meet'ngs. Whipped Two Ex-Champions. Bobby's “big” year was 1915. Ad Wolgast. as d'rty as ever, fouled him after tak'ng a terriffe lacing for six rounds: Battling Nelson, another for- mer champ‘on, lost a twenty-round decision to him; while Benn'e Cor- dova, Stanley Yoakum. Len Rowlands and eleven other crack boxers were easity defeated. ¥ ,21n 1916, 1917 and 1918 the Texan Cont'nued his spectacular career. Often he won, sometimes he lost. fre- quently he whipped h's conquerors ‘n return bouts, some of h's contests were no dects‘on; but in none of his attles did he fa'l to show h's super lat've class, or cause h's admirers to amend the’r prediction that he was dest'ned to win the title. Then, one morn‘ng. Waugh and his friends awoke to the stunning reallz: tion that he was an “old man,’ so far as fight’ng was concerned; that! the crown had been pessed from Wol- Rast to Ritchie to We while he was fiddling along In Dixie rings: and that he was never fated. at h's age. to take that crown from so remarkable a king as the New York Hebrew. Reason for His Failure, Chagrined by this distressing dis- covery, they set about to learn what had happened to keep this master ‘rom his deserts. Some attributed it to one thing, somo to another, The ason is t + fted by bi inclination and de- opment with every. needful qualifi- cation, Bobby Waugh: was kept back by bonehead management. In his ‘Wig years,” when, beyond all doubt he could have whipped either Welsh or Leonerd, he never had a manager who had brains enough to get them into a ring with him. Fighting was his forte; he had to leave the rest of it to his managers, and they failed him grievously in so slight a thing as meeting a champion’s terms eel PPOPESLSSS9S we'll be right out to prove TPLEO994OSCC OS SOP OORSLORE L vise did not overcome what was, on its face, only a-minor deficiency. h to “Leonard | It’s Time to Get Out Last Spring’s The SERVICE Cleaners.

A real pity that so splendid an or- nament to pugilism should forfeit all because he was so. badly advised: Today Waugh is box'ng around the same old “coffee and—" circu't, only his wise old brain getting him by w'th younger and sturdier !ads. In a financial way he has noth'ng to show for all his great battles, thou- sands of dollars having gone to’ the upkeep of his family.

We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind. Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast {t out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means ot freeing the blood of th:s tmpurity, In damp and chilly cold weather the | skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to climinate this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually set- tling in the joints and muscles, caus- ing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism.
