haps the two greatest grubbers in
the world. The Kingston tale is re

rhree of these “Eat ’Em Ups” here

To gain tha right perspective for
this gourmet tele, let’s go back to
the comle strips. All comic fans are
acquainted with tha feats of “Ham
burger Wimpy," Popeye’s glutton
ous pal; how he downs dozens of
•burgers st tingle sittings. But Wim
py it a piker compared to tha men
who participate in today's real life
grub fasts. In the United State*
there are man who wfauld eat Wim
py under the table in any kind of
grub eoatest, and the two man fea
tured in the Kingston contest I
am about to relate, would make him
look like a fasting monk during
Lent
The stars of the Kingston con
tact were a professional glutton
called “Eatng Joe,” who received
that name tag after he was paid to
devour two turkeys at a country
fair, and his opponent. “John the
Grubber,” chief challenger to the
city's acting title held by Jo*.
Their eating contest which
was well advertised In advance,
was te take place on a knell
just outage the Kingston city
limits, and a large crowd res

Now grubbers, like boxers, like to
warm up before a contest So an
route to the eating ait*, “Eating
Joe” downed a large bowl of soup
to get the wrinkles out of his tum
my. while John primed o some
crackers snd cheese.
Joe arrived on the scene* first,
supremely confident of retaining
his title. John, however, decided to
play powum. Ha parked at tha foot
of the knoll. Just out of sight and

Soon one returned with a report
