He caught a black bass at Fort Worth, Tex.; posed with sombrero and steer horns; crossed the Mexican border to see the hard-boiled racing town of Juarez; received the Mayor of Colton, Calif., in pajamas; arrived in Los Angeles "not feeling very well."

To Ivan Linow went the sympathy and the praise of the audience...
