Instead, there appeared on the boxin? horizon an ebony-colored boy. another "black menace," Le-roy Haynes, born in Indiana, raised in California and adopted by Philadelphia. The end of Da Preem came dis- mally for him in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout at the Arena last night before approxi- mately 10,000 fans who paid in the neighborhood of $16,000 to see the scrap.

Haynes spotted Camera 68 pounds, but recklessly forgot tlat; from the outset. After a few cau-' tious jabs' and punches, the negro; began to find his range and it was evident that Camera's bulk was in. line for a whittling. Eight solid smacks against Car-nera's chin during the first round gave Haynes the necessary confi-j dence. Coming back Tor the the negro weaved in and under Car- neras mammotn-sizea arms ana rained him with rights and lefts.

The barrage was too much for the Italian. His knees sagged, he shivered to the floor for a short count. Haynes was on top of Camera again when he arose. The former champion sank again, this time catching the ropes. He was on the floor, but not knocked out, when the second round ended.

Camera's handlers dragged him co his corner and sent him out for the third round. He was wobbly, shaky and trembling. Haynes met him in the middle of the ring and pum-meled his head and chin- with stinging rights and lefts.

LANSFORD SCRAPPER jVTNS FANS' CHEERS Joe Yurko, promising Lansford amateur lightweight, won two im- portant battles the other night at Tamaqua the first over a hostile crowd and the second over the Lebanon left-hander. Billy Donnelly. Yurko, with 15 fights to his credit, came to Tamaqua not expecting to fight Donnelly whom he had floored two weeks ago in the same ring.

That bout turned the crowd against the Lansford scrapper as he unintentionally struck a low blow before he landed the knockout punch. Despite victory, the "boos" stormed Yurko's ears. For a young fighter it was a dreadful experience. Joe Kelly, Nantieoke. wanted to meet Donnelly the other night but the Lebanon Irishman held out for Yurko, who agreed.

PHILADELPHIA Joe Walrott si! Ill ill' frtt I By HENRY McLEMORE I WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 17 (U.PJ Figuring that any man Jahose mail on a single morning included a Persian cat from a spinster in Dies Moines, two-headed calf from a Georgia farmer, a walrus from an Arctic explorer, and a rattlesnake from a Everglade trapper, was worth a story, I paid a visit today to Mr. Fred Parke. Mister Parke. i operates in this city and Banker, Is a taxidermist. Those who know says he is the best in the Jrorld.

Mister Parke, a bit more jnodest, denies this and says he is pnly one of the three best in the United Slates. Five minutes in his combination shop-museum here, and jrou are inclined to side with the first stimate. For from the walls, the floor, and giant display cases, sneer. leer, snarl, and grin the most lifelike collection of animals and marine Jlfe you ever laid your eyes on. Nothing seems to be outside Mister Parke's range.

He'll mount you a bison one week, and your pet butter- Jfly, the next. And hell guarantee that when you pass on to your re-Ward, whatever it be, that his fcpecimens will be as bright and brisk fcs the day you snared 'em with a i feet, plugged 'em with a 40-40. or frlftiked 'em on a barbed hook. In his 40 years of taxidermy, Mis-ler Parke has had some strange or-idtrs. There was the gentleman who Snipped him a moose skin, nothing knbre, and asked that it be mounted In a life-like posture and shipped to JWme, Italy.

Eight weeks later the Jnfcose, peeking out from behind a kpruce, was on the ocean. There was the Des Moines spinster who sent in thf skin of her beloved tabby, with the request that it be mounted so as preserve the expression of absolute devotion it had worn all its jlilje. Six weeks later the cat was jeqrled up on the spinster's fire- place, and she wrote Mister Parke to 8VW 5h had Last year a wild -eyed gentleman ran into Mister Parke's museum and told the taxidermist to come out- aide In a hurry that he had just captured the original sea monster. Mister Parke took one look at the ereature on his doorstep and darn near agreed with the excited gentle-jnan. -Investigation proved that the J'sea monster" was the only entire oar fish ever brought from the rater.

The gentleman had been in swimming when the weird specimen "Boated by and, taking no chances, had run to his cottage and grabbed a shotgun, let the fish have both barrels. The oar fish now holds the place f. honor over the fireplace in the museum, and Is enough to make one talk In sea monster terms. It is 18 feet long, and about as big around as a mans leg. Growing out of its bead is a crimson streamer almost as long as its body.

Its head is dog-ahaped, and it wears a most wicked expression on its face, i No Scotchman full of Scotch ever thought he saw a worse looking article in Loch Ness. Mister Parke estimates that there kre fewer than a hundred genuine taxidermists the United States. Youll find men who call themselves taxidermists in nearly every city, he said, but most of them eouldnt mount a stepladder. It's an kit, and a most trying one to leam. You cant learn in schools, and you text books on the subject, but they aren't any good for the simple rea- pon that every firs class taxider-j Cist has his own secrets of preserv- and painting, and he is not go- Jng to reveal them in a book.

Fish, with very 1 few exceptions, lose all their color- tags shortly after being taken from the water. Yet a taxidermist can faithfully reproduce the color of any fish you'bring in to him. And there are thousands and thousands of var- ietles of fish, with thousands and thousands of color schemes. i "The best way to leam fish." Mister Parke will tell you, "is to go Out and catch them yourself, and jnake a water color sketch while they're still alive." i Quick, boy! My easel.

The Nor-An league's first-half champions annexed the first annual central states amateur gold medal tournament with a decisive 47-24 victory over Milton Y. M. C. A. in the final round on the Milton court.

The Dramatics outscored their rivals in every period. Leading at the end of the first half, 21-12, the Dramatics, paced by the sharp-shooting Yezerski brothers, cut loose with a sensational passing and shooting attack in the last two periods that netted 26 points while Milton was limited to 12.
