1t has been my experience that it is also the root of
a large part of the worlds morality-at least the
aggressive reforming, vociferous kind.
If instead of just me alone the King had contin-
ued dallying with scores of women, not word would
have been said There is safety in numbers. lie
Rol S amuse Those who noticed would have con.
tnued to wink and say, There's life in the old 1og
yet Where is the morality in that?
When Leopold's family in awful solemnity crit.
clzed the monarch he saw through their hypocrisy
and turned the tables on them prettiy b. intimating
that if it was wicked as they thought, then per-
haps he ought to marry me- This of course, would
make everything perfectly moral and answer every
direction they had advanced but the last thing
in the world they wished they blackened my name
to prevent it.
However this idea of marriage was in time taken
seriously by the Church of Rome and the Pope
through Cardinal MERCER insisted with ever increas-
ing force that he must marry
The socialist newspapers kept printing scandals
about me, but they so obviously untrue that
Leopold ignored them. Madame Moline, the I'M
scrupulous old woman who contrived my first meet
ing with the King, thought she could blackmail us
for the rest of lives. Receiving nothing for her
pains, she sought means to tear me down from my
position
While the buzzng of such small-calibred gnats
did not disturb the kingly peace of mind, it was
different matter when the royal family moved to the
attack. Queen Marie Henriette, at whose. death
became official mistress to the King" had pre-
sented His Majesty with three daughters-Louse,
Stephanle and Clementine-but no boy, no heir for
Leopold's throne, for which he never forgave her.
These three Princesses minded their business very
nicely regarding their fathers morals in previous in
trgues, but when they saw his millions passing
through my hands heard of villas and chateaux that
! owned and of the amounts spent at dressmakers'
in Paris, they felt it their duty to speak
The lot fell to Princess Clementine, because she
was on the ground and in better standing with her
father than the two Others In the beginning was
frequently mistaken for Clementine the youngest
and most dutiful of the daughters, whom the Bel
gians called "the Little Queen" OF course, did
not mind, but when people mistook her for her
fathers mistress, who dressed better and had more
money and influence, she was, to put it mildly, an
noyed.

The King, with perverse sense of humor, delib>
erately aggravated her resentment. One night al

fireworks by beating out an infield hit. On long single to center by Haber, Bucherri crossed the plate with the Universals' first run. Ed die Goeb punched a hit through an opening in the infield and Haber went to third. Chant let go a wild one and Haber scored, Goeb going 10 third. Hillstrand rolled one down the first base line and while he was being retired Eddie Goeb scored from third. Vincent connected for a long double to right, but Chant checked the barrage by flaming the next batter.
 The Union Works were unable to do anything with Ncster and in the six innings touched him for only three safe bingles. The Universals in the fifth inning sput the game on ice with two more runs. Haber the first batter singled to right as a starter but was forced out at second on Eddie Goeb's roller to Lagerlof Hillstrand singled to right and Goeb went to third. A wild pitch allowed him to score and Hillstrand went to third. klatka hit long double to centerfield sending in Hillstrand with the final run.

New Britain herald., 1926-08-26

Since Jack Dempsey has been champion, he and his challenger, Gene Tunney, have met but two common pponents--Georges Car pentier, the one-time idol of France, and Tommy Gibbons of the St. Paul Gibbonses.
 Dempsey, as all followers of the ring racket know, sent the fragile Carpenter to dreamland in less than four rounds. That was in 1921.
 Tunney met Carp three years later, winning on technical knock out in the fifteenth.
 Thus did Dempsey take Il rounds less to put the Frenchman out of the picture than did Tunney. More over, Jack performed the feat three years earlier in Carpenters event. full and rather illustrious career and when Georges was obviously much better fighter.
 Against Tommy Gibbons, though, Dempsey didn't look so well. True, he beat Gibbons, but it took 15 rounds to do it and then Jack only got the verdict on points. That was in 1923.
 Tunney, two years later, kayoed Tom in the twelfth round. While Gibbons was the only opponent ever to stay the limit with Dempsey since Jack became champion, Tun- ney, on the other hand, was the only one ever to put the St. Paul battler to sleep.
 Summing up, we find this: That while Dempsey showed to better ad- vantage against Carpenter than did Tunney, still Tunney eXcelled Demp- seys efforts in the Gibbons clashes.
 All of which, of course, doesn't mean thing. For comparing records of a pair of fighters against common opponents get one about as far as he advances in trying to dope the relative merits of two football teams in a similar manner and with similar facts at hand. It can be done, yes. But it isn't worth any thing to speak of when you com plete the task.
 But at any rate we offer the records of the champion and the challenger against their two com mon opponents. We wouldn't ad- wise anyone to bet on the outcome of the coming battle by using the Gibbons-Carpentier results as a basis for placing a wager, however. No, not for moment.
