In the first of the three twelve round

Brandt of Brooklyn for thirty-six min
utes without intermission. The wonder
was how the Flatbush boy lived through
the ordeal. He faltered at times under
the shower Of blows. but was on his feet

wide a margin as Gibbons outboxed
Rosenberg. but the challenger of Rilbane

Porgies nre In the Local Waters In Limited
Quantities.

Martin Murray Of Wreck Lead. Capt. Hen
Wright OF Queenswater, Capt. NJ. Pollak OF
Canarsie, aud several other fishing boat
captains have reported small catches OF
porgies, but no has come through TO
date with a real old fashioned catch. II
is about time for the porgies to arrive, for
they come as rule about the same time
as the weakfish. The sea porgies run UP
to two pounds and more, and great slaugh-
ters of them are made when n boat anchors
on their feeding ground.
A few years ago Capt. Bill Stevens. then
of Canarsie, now of Camllus, n. Y. struck
into n school OF porgies that were whop-
pers. His passengers averaged more than
thirty fish each. and over 80 per cent. OF
the catch ran above two pounds each.
great number OF tho fish reached three
pounds and over, and there were some ms
high as 3a pounds. The captain and crew
had gathered In n great quantity OF the
fish. and when they docked AZ Canarse
all of these fish wore displayed on deck.
Not since that time has such a catch OF
porgies been made by fishing boat. We
have had excellent porgy years since then,
and possibly they have been taken In greater
numbers, but their great size has not been
reached.
These fish feed on bottom. and the old
iberia wreck off Long Beach Is one Of the
first grounds which they are usually
caught They come into the Rockaway
shoals and the old Black Warrior wreck

MILTON WINS 500
MILES AUTO RACE
Covers Distance in 5 Hr. 81
Min. A. Sec.-De Palma
Forced to Quit.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 30-Tommy
Milton. world champion speed racer. to-
day piloted an American car to the
finish line first In the ninth renewal of
the international racing classic the 500
mile dash around the Indianapolis
Speedway. Millions victory came
through beautifully driven race, which
was won after Ralph De Palma, popular
favorite for the victory, had set such a
terrific pace during the first $50 miles
that all Of the foreign made cars, In
Guiding his own. were forced from the
track through mechanical troubles or
minor accidents.
OF the twenty-three entrants only
eight completed the 500 miles. and seven
of these were American made machines.
Ralph Mulford, driving another Ameri-
can built machine was awarded ninth
position without finishing, after all the
others had dropped by the wayside
Milton established a new track record
for cars of not more than 1S3 cubic
inches piston displacement by complet-
ing the 500 miles in 5 hours. "a minutes
and 44.65 seconds for an average OF
S9.62 miles per hour The fastest time
ever made in the Speedway races was
but twenty-hundredths of a mile faster
per hour. this mark being made by De
Palma in 1915.
$4,000 for Winner.
The victory brought Milton nearly
$4,000 In prize money, $4,000 for the
first place, $4,000 in lap prizes and the
balance in special prizes, given by ac-
cessory companies.
Less than four minutes behind Mil
ton came Roscoe Sarles, who had fought
bitter race with De Palma in the
early hours and who held second posi-
ton most Of the way.
The terrific pace set by De Palma,
which esta blished new track records up
to the first 100 miles. was given by ex-
perts as the reason for so many cars
being forced out Accidents were few
and none was serious, but car after car
fell by the wayside with mechanical
trouble which would not be remedied.
The other finishers crossed the line In
the following order: Jimmy Murphy (re-
placed Eddie Miller), fourth Ora Haibe,
fifth Joe Boyer (replaced Guyot). sixth +,
Ira Vail, seventh; Bennie Hill. eighth /;
Ralph Mulford. ninth Haibe's English
built car was the only foreign machine
to finish.

could be. No one had described them.
All her friends and relatives mentioned
them without going into details They
were mysterious wounds. about which all
felt the deepest concern without having
seen them.
odette, in her dreams about the future
saw Maurice slightly lame, leaning on .
cane with one hand and with the other
resting on his wife's arm. They would
make an interesting couple. She was
Nalmost glad of this small physical defect,
which would be a proof of his heroism.
1t would make him more fascinating.
The future held in reserve for them
many happy hours. And she would take
care Of her poor. wounded husband; she
would protect him. she would be to him
a loving wife and a tender mother.
One: afternoon. she sauntered down
the Rue Royale. she met a very young
second lieutenant almost a child, walk
ing with his sweetheart; one OF the
p sleeves of his uniform hung by his side,
empty. Undoubtedly Maurice had lost
an arm. too; she was sure OF il. That's
why his brief letters, in which she de-
tected an effort, strained. painful ef-
fort. to appear cheerful, were always
dictated. He was forced to dictate them
because he had not recovered sufhciently
to write them himself Yes. there was
no doubt about Il: Maurice had lost an
arm, like that poor boy. But It made
no difference TO her. He could lean on
his wife. She had two arms to take the
place Of the one lost. The important
thing was to be able to look into his
face once more and to see herself in those
clear. csressine. humorously ironical eyes
of his. All her poor, wounded dear her
hero! How she loved him!
Her intimate friends received her al
ways with the same question: How is
Monsieur Delfour? Are his wounds bet

But the most stupenduous exploits
counted for little in this war. All men
were brave. Heroes dropped from the

that all the other women could tell the
same story about their husbands. How

old house had an emotional; it. The dis
turbance was caused by Q terrible ner-
vous attack of the younger Nine. Deifour,
accompanied by tears, the slamming Of
doors. the arrival Of automobiles and
the hurried visits of several doctors.
Lieut. Delfour had been seriously wound
ed by the explosion Of a she'll.
Odette wished to rush to her hus.
bands side. The elder Nine Delfour had
to make great efforts and cali to- her
assistance the Oldest family friends to
convince her daughter-in-law that what
she wanted to do was impossible. Women
were not allowed at the front.
Then odette wanted TO die. Meanwhile
her mother-in-law remained erect. silent,
pale, biting her lips to keep her eyes dry.

future hero. Maurice was ordered to
the front and had to leave her.
After. the departure of her husband.
Odette, to escape her loneliness, decided
to do something useful for her country.
All her friends were visiting the hospi-
tails and taking short medical courses
to qualify as nurses. She followed their
example, planning to perform sublime
deeds of abnegation, but inwardly sd-
miring at the same time the white uni
forms Of the nurses, their blue cloaks
and white toques, a simple and original
dress. entirely distinct from those others
which ate UP q fortune every year:
something plain, cool. and comfortable
which suited her blond type of beauty.
The desire to exhibit this last fashion, q
war product, as she had psraded until
recently the most expensive creations Of
famous Parisian tailors, caused her to
neglect her patients time and again. She
could not help it, she had TO drive
through the Bois de Boulogne to show
the world her white dress with red
crosses on the breast and sleeves.
Meanwhile, the elder Mime. Delfour. in
her usual plain black dress, spent her
days and her nights in a hospital which
she. was largly supporting.
Despite the sorrow and anxiety which
her husbands absence caused her. Odette
confessed the war had its pleasures and
its compensations. She adored now the
teas attended by women only, where she
was free from those tiresome men who
bore one to death with their sallantries.
None OF her friends showed any interest
in the expensive clothes which had been
the object of their illusions and desires
before the war. All wore white, plain
white dresses, like nursemaids in a sum
mer resort. and they welcomed with
pride the envious looks cast at them by
other less fortunate women who could
not wear the Red Cross uniform They
knitted garments for the soldiers In these
teas. and although their work We awk-
