On a recent fishing trip, a Macon man asked one of tho swamp denizens who lives in a leg cabin on un island, whal he thought ol Strlbllng's chance to win itic big fight. The native looked blankly through shaggy he fightln'?" askpd Ilic Okefenokeean.

Ttiat Is typical of the loyally for Strib down here, lliov.gh a ctuA! example. The city of Mncon 1ms thrown only two parades for homecoming hero. One was Willie Stribling aflev lie slopped Otto Von I'ornl in Chicago.

Strlb. riding in un auto. was cscorled nlong Macon's main llioroughtar; 1 Lindbergh-fashion, as ticker tape and paper fluttered from office wln- dows. Tlie parade was after lie stopped PiiU Scott. The Siriblintjs.

who live In cozy but Inexpensive little collage 0:1 Nottingham Drive, dwell nutcii after the fashion of solid citizens. There is miniature golf course in Uie yard where Willie's bay and girl, Willie III and Mnry Virginia, take recreation. Tlie children, like their dad, are being brought- up ns acrobats, the ilrc-ycar-old boy al; ready performing many. dlUlcull feats. There is complete understanding within Ihe domestic circle of the- heavyweight ciinltcnger.

Hi.s wife insists on reeling for him at 'all his fights. Just os she dirt when 'she was his boyhood sweetheart. And StribHng never yets jealous when her husband is away. serving as critic nt some bathing beauty revue or when lie poses with a singe star for a photo. "He earns tils living by serving the public," says Ihe boxer's wife.

"and I don't complain because I come second." ambling says of Ills wife: "The grcatcsl little sport in Ilic world." The Stribliiigs spend ninny quiet evenings together. Slrlb likes to play bridge with his wife and reac aviation magazines. He always has a couple of good hunting around home, his tastes running lo pointers and German pa- lice dogs. He can't bear tlie sight of a Pekingese or poodle. Once IK brought a Boston bull, a gift, al ths way from Grand Rapids in his plane.

Stribltag, Ihe father, helps his wife with the duties around house, says the blessing at meal. and puts the children to bed. The couple often go to movies dances together. I don't believe there ever will be any Reno for the Stiiblings. Mrs.

SU'ibling worries a lillle when her husband is away, knowing love for speed, but philosoplii- cally explains it like this: "He's big and strong and never loses his head and I know he wi3; take care of himself." Slrlb, himself, has one axiom. He may pass eveiythlng on the. road but when he comes to a railroad crossing he slops. "Train only has to hit you or.ce.' ht says. Speaking of safety first, the onrj sport Pa and Ma strlbling ever for bade their strapping offspring wa.
