either through the racing committee at
house at the head of the Washington
Channel.
At, a meeting of the executive board
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Power
Boat Association held yesterday q COM
mittee was appointed to investigate the
feasibility of staging a motor boat show
in Washington this coming Winter.
Speaking of the appointment Of the
committee Commodore Conrad G. Smith
of the association, said:
"One of the greatest aims OF our or
ganization is to endeavor to educate
Washingtonians to the joys of motor
boating so that they may know the
value of and cash in on their wonderful
water course. A motor boat show will
be, we believe, step IN the right direc-
ton
1.-The coming regatta in Washington
Channel next Saturday, is being staged
expressly with this idea In view. For
that reason 1t is being held earlier than
any regatta has even been. Once suffi-
Gent interest has been aroused 1t will
be an easy matter to kill the old idea
that the motor boat season Is too short
for the average man to enjoy because Of
the supposed large investment. A good
motor boat today costs actually less than
good car, and is very inexpensive as to
upkeep.
THAT the Government has recognized
the value of our undertaking is wit
messed by the fact that one of the Coast
Guard vessels has been detailed to pa
troll the entire course during the regatta
next Saturday to aid u.s."

change Of sparr1ng partners and
the radiance Of the clumsy efforts
H. of King Solomon and Walter
Stills to avoid punishment, worked
wonders In the form displayed by Max
Schmelfng. This was due to the
smarter boxing displayed by, Marty Gal
lagher and the bulling ruSheS of Ger
many Heller.
Now that the hard work is behind
him Schmeling plans to rest up for
the rest of the week and then top off
his work by putting in hard ticks dur
ing the early part of next week. A day
In seclusion from prying eyes and Max
will be ready when the gong sends him
into action against Pauline on Thursday.
Considering the many things that
nave cropped up to annoy the other
wise quiet German, Schmeling is in
good form. This in a measure is due to
the foresight of Joe Jacobs, who has
seen to 1t that the name of Bulow,
Something's discarded manager has not
been mentioned when it was possible to
tip OF the visiting newspaper men and
others around camp, and the many in
vitatlons rendered the youngster from
the left bank of the Rhine. Keeping
Something's mind free from petty an
noyances has given the fighter chance

tnat his stay in the fatlands here
has not been a grind.
Would Have No AIibi.
Max Schmeling has worked hard.
There is no doubt about that If he
can retain the peak he has reached he
can be depended upon to put up a
hard fight, and if he is beaten bv
Pauline it will be just because the
Basque is the better man.
AS usual when big bout is pend
ing: former and present stars of the
full about coming out with their opin-
ions as to form and the chances of
the opposing battlers. At first SchmeI-
Ing was given chance solely upon the
power OF his right hand punch. Now
after working with a smart youngster.
Marty Gallagher, the critics, self called
have had change of mind
Something's chances look brighter at
the present writing than at any other
time since he pitched his camp on Bill
Dryers estate, and those who have
heard the learned words of the sharps
are beginning to peel off the rubber
bands of the bank rolls, and the result
has been an upward trend in Schmel-
ing's price. BY ring time it is expected
that the chances of the battlers will be
even in the betting.
Brothers Do Well.
Before Schmeling puts away the
gloves for good he will get a chance
to try variety of blows on the brothers,
Andy and Leo Mitchell. While the boys,
sponsored by Jack KearnS, have not set
the world afire, it must be admitted
that for the short sparring sessions
with 12-ounce mittens one would have
to go far afield to find better sparring
partners than these same Mitchell
boys.
Andy Is a plunging courageous fight
er and does not react to a punch in

NEITHER DISPLAYS
CALDER EXPECTED
Loughran, in Sizing Up Foes,
Says Both viii Be Fit
for Contest.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,


Middle Heavyweight Champion of the World.
"a EWSPAPER observers at the
N training camps of Pauline UZ-
VI cudun and Max Schmeling
1 have not been particularly i'm
pressed by the form shown by
either since they started workouts for
their fight. The opinion seems to be
unanimous that they have not been
nearly as good as expected.
Lots of people make the mistake of
estimating fighter on what he shows in
partner, wearing heavy gloves and
head-guards, is entirely different from
getting into a ring with an opponent
of equal ability who has light gloves
on his fists and intends to do a lot
of damage with them.
Pauline Not Snowman.
Pauline, for instance, never was
Snowman in the sense that he boxes
prettily. He plungeS in with his arms
up before his face, and when close
enough begins to pummel away. Nat
urally, against sparring partners this
style makes him look bad. He isn't in
there to hurt them, and fellows with
a good left, like Benny Touchstone, can
jab and step away without suffering
any damage.
There are certain things every man
wants to practice in training-a pet
punch, a shift, or something of the
sort. He keeps working on them. He
isn't bothered because a sparring part
ner lands on him while he is practicing.
Maybe he looks bad to the spectators,
but 1t isn't part of his job to get the
visitors in his camp excited. He has
lot bigger task ahead of him.
Pauline, of course, is a more ex-
perienced ringman than Schmeling. He
has been in the game quite while,
and has faced many more dangerous
rivals than the young German. He has
gone against all styles, from giants like
Harry Wills and George Godfrey to
light, fast men like Jack Delaney He
isn's a fellow who adaptS himself to
conditions as quickly as Schmeling, per-
haps, but his experience, strength and
ability to take punishment without wilt
ing are certain to be big factors.
To Make Choice Later.
At this moment 1 am not picking
Pauline to win. I'll make my choice
a little later. My principal point is
not to take training reports too seri-
ously. Gene Tunney looked pretty bad
at StroudSburg before his first match
with Dempsey. Mickey Walker is an
unirnpressive gymnasium fighter. There
are dozens of others - darned good
fighting men, too.
Both Pauline and Schmeling have
been working hard and steadily, TheS
are certain to be in excellent physical
condition for the contest, and physical
condition will play very large part in
deciding the victor.

Trees to Be Protected
Aldermen Discuss Means of Saving
Them from Damage

The protection of the young
poplar trees along the main
street was discussed at some
length at the meeting of the
board of aldermen Monday even
ing. The trees have grown re-
markably well and have so i'm
proved the appearance of the
block that the aldermen, as well
as other citizens, are anxious
that no damage be done to them.
The question was brought up
at the meeting because some of
the iron grills, set up to protect
the trees, had been destroyed or
broken. The opinion was ven-
tured that perhaps the trees
were strong enough now not to
need grills, but the aldermen do
not want to take chances on
this and so they have instructed
Town Manager FOushee to omit
no precaution.
Mr.. Foushee has in his NUM-
cipal store-house two grills
which have not been used, and
these are to be put around the
two unprotected trees in front Of
the Eubanks and the Sutton
drugstores.
An examination of all the
grills will be made, SO that those
which appear to be no longer in
good condition may be replaced.

The Proutys and the Odums,
out on the Pittsboro highway,

outer edge of the retaining wall
which separates the sidewalk

Concerning Mr..
Knight

Ny interest has been engaged
by the variety of appellations
applied to Edgar w. Knight
since his recent speech in New
York about education in the
South. 1t will be recalled that
Mr.. Knight arose in a gathering
of the Southern Club of Colum-
bia University and set forth that
the South, measured by accepted
standards, was deplorably back
ward in education, The speech
aroused considerable comment.
Some of the commentators
backed up Mr.. Knight, and
others put him on the griddle
and roasted him to a turn for
defaming the fair Southland.
Tom Bost, in his Sunday
editorial-sermon in the Green's
boro Nea0s, described Mr..
Knight, parenthetically and
briefly, in the following Ian
guage: "We believe in earth
quakes, in automobile accidents,
in county chaingangs, in DR.. Ed
gar w. Knight and other explo-
sions."
Editor Huneycutt of the Stan
ley Nea0S-Herald praises Mr..
Knight for his frankness in
stating unflattering truths
about Southern education, and
suggests that a future genera
ton may look upon him as "an-
other Walter Page, possibly"
An article by Gerald Johnson
in the Baltimore EGening Sun
presents the designation, ed
gar w. Knight, the Cassandra
of North Carolina education"
venture to take issue with
Mr.. Johnson on this. The facts,
as | understand, were these:
Apollo, sun-god and handsome
devil, wanted Cassandra for his
cutie, but she would have none
of him. Whereupon, declining
to take his rebuff like a good
sport, he used his supernatural
powers in retaliation. He gave
her the gift of prophecy, but de-
creed that nobody should believe
her predictions. Which qualifica-
ton, as far as Cassandra's life
