They know that when they halt they will lie down as they are; Ne down on the wet ground beneath the pitiless rain, the stinging sleet, or the driving snow; unfed, un- warmed, unsheltered. It will be im- possible to light fires, to cook food, to boil water, and make coffee, However, they are soldiers, and | take life—and death—as it comes, But a few days ago men suffered sunetroke, Tonight they suffer cold, exposure.

Major Na- poleon Riccoli halts, wheels about, and rides back. There is confusion in the ragged straggling ranke, An attack? No, only a single shot. Only young Ramononez, it ap- pears, has had enough.

MILIAN) | Depression is downed for the count as far as local boxing fans are concerned. As many as 200 ditferert people have dropped in ‘to see Robert Schultz to obtain in- {formation regarding the forth- coming boxing match to be staged in Madison Square Garden in Mi- ami February 23, between Tony Canzoneri, world’s’ lightweight champion, and Pete Nebo, local sensational fighter. Locai enthusiasts are seeking a variety of in formation. Some want to know if reserved tickets are to be on sale in Key West. Others are asking whether the Florida East Coast will have a special excursion for the occasion, while the majority of them are in- ducing Mr. Shultz to have a couple of special buses make the wip. Judge Giblin, who is backing the show, communicated with Rob- jere Schultz the first part of the week, by long distance, and ad- vised him that he will be in Key ‘West soon for a conference regard- ing the sale of tickets and other important matters. - Mr. Schultz is Nebo’s Florida representative. According to latest reports from Miami, Tony Canzoneri, as cham- pion, is being made the heavy fav- orite to lick the local scrapper. Despite this fact, however, Nebo’s backers have a lot of confidence]. ‘jin the Indian to give the champion of the world a busy night. Studying pictures of both fight- ers, a fan at a local store this morning remarked: “It don’t seem | |possible that Pete, with a face so full of confidence while fighting, could lose a scrap.” Both fighters, before coming South for this important engage- ;{ment, went through a “tune up” contest, Canzoneri licking Town- ‘{isend and Nebo defeating Firpo. | jtough. seraps this year.

What? "Pon my word, I be " replied Otho Bveryone to his taste. Le Légion naire Ramononex will not*suffer from the cold tonight. “Aw contraire, it may be of heat that he will complain,” suggests old Tant de Soif, rubbing the end of his blue nose with the back of his shrivelled hand, “It will be of heat that we shall all be complaining in a day or two, look you,” observed old Tant de Soit's “pal,” another ol@ man, vet- eran of Cochin China, Madagascar, Senegal, and the Western Sahara in Beneral. “. » » Those of us who do not die of cold up here...

A garrulous old gentleman, espe- elally when under the influence of alcohol—his normal condition—he suffered sorely though not in ai. lence, from Tant de Soif's sense of duty, the duty of keeping his Junior in his place, and in @ sense of his unworthiness, “Am I, then, a child that...” “Yes, In intellect,” interrupted Tant de Soif, “though your never still tongue runs in an unwise old head.” Pdre Poussin fell silent. “You drink too much, you know,” observed Tant de Soif. “Far too much.” “What? ejaculated Pare Poussin. “So.

Nebo, has gone through a few His most !sensational show being that against {Kid Chocolate. Although defeat- ed, every national paper carrying an account of the fight gave ‘Pete credit for at least an even break. The New York Telegraph really’ thought the Key West boy had won. In Canzineri, Nebo will be meet- ing one of the smartest “light- weights in the country. Pete probably knows that Tony is not the same kid he met in Philadel- phia in 1929 as a featherweight. The pride of the Italian colony is a bigger, better and a harder hit- ting boy than ever before. So is Pete himself but Tony is the champ. Canzoneri is already in Miami while Nebo is heading for Key ‘West where he will work out daily until a week before the bout. Some 300 local fans wil} be on hand to root for Pete the night of the fight.
