sSiPP1o5'iR1'9IjlRaEs|IEIA!ll Q "a 4

Brother Mirabeau complains of
the treatment the press has
given Henry, but in that the
press Is practically unanimous,
in its scoffing over Henry's
bouts, both in New York and
Baltimore, perhaps there is
some justification for the COM
ments and it might be a good
idea for Mirabeau to speak to
Henry about the matter and
see if Henry can't give the
press true cause to change its
tune. s-
Now take the case of Marty
Gallagher, who, along with
Henry Lamar, has been pretty
roundly criticized for his failure
to develop into a better scrap
per-neither Marty nor his
brother Jimmy who sponsors
him, have found time nor cause
to complain of the press notices
accorded Marty following some
of his more miserable showingS.
The Gallaghers though. know
fighters aren't made in the.
newspapers. They know If
Marty looks badly in the ring
the fans and the press will, say
so and say it rather emphati-
cally. A letter from Brother
Jimmy wouldn't make Marty
look different to anybody, any
more than Master Mirabeau's
persistent correspondence can
help Henry one whit in his
favorite pursuit.
We haven't the slightest idea
Henry knows his brother is
taking up his cudgels with the
newspaper fraternity, because
we believe Henry has a mana
ger who is quite capable Of
registering all the official pro-
test Henry may need, if, indeed,
he needs any or wishes to make
any. All Of which makes it
more touching that a big. strong
boy like Henry has a secret de-
fender here in Washington
fighting his battles outside the.
ring, pounding that old type
writer and filling the pages
with personal pronouns and.
adjectives that many a pro.
feSsional writer might well
envy. -... ....- ..,..... .
And in closing, we can ouly
say to Henry, Pull him off
Henry, pull him off of us, he's
breaking our heart, is that
Mirabeau." ...

The Washington times., 1930-07-25

Blood is indeed thicker than
water In the case of Henry
Lamar and his brother Mira
beau, who is quick to chide
any newspaper that speaks dis
paringly Of Henry's efforts, and
just as quick to chortle with
one which speaks well Of
Hanks efforts.
It is refreshing indeed to see
this friendship between two
brothers in this day and age
when so many brothers let each
other shift for themselves and
whether Henry is a good boxer
or not, which, after all is only
a matter of opinion, we are
glad to find one fight fan who
cares for Lamar's style, even
If that fan is his little brother,
or big, as the case may be.
1t so happens this newspaper
has had both good and bad re-
ports to make of impressions
which Lamar lent from the
ring to the various members of
its sporting staff, but Mirabeau
plays no favorites, outside of
his brother Henry-Mirabeau
scoldS roundly those who can't
see his brother Henry and has
terms of praise for those who
are possibly not so frank or
whose vision is not as clear.
But alas, even a brother
can't make a fighter out of his
own kth and kin. 1t will take
more than Master Mirabeau's
tender ministrations to the
press to put Big Hank where
he seeks mostly to be-up
there among the first or sec
ond raters of the very indif-
ferent group of heavyweights
which now speckle the land.
Big Hanks a nice, clean-cut
boy, with some boxing ability.
but he can't knock over a milk
bottle. If Henry were a swords.
man, an epee or a sabre ex.
pert where touches alone
counted, he would be a wow
for he easily finds his target,
but he has nothing whatever
behind his touches, and thus
the likes Of Gallagher are able
to stand up in front of him
round after round.
What the heavyweight class
needs now is hitterS. Tunney
was both a marksman and a
hitter, despite the fact that it
took the Philadelphia fight to
prove this to a doubling world.

Sport introduced
In the introduction Of sport in
Mexico, Britishers have been the
pioneers In most cases, but Ameri-
cans have introduced some sports
first and the two have cooperated
IN the development Of athletics.
Britishers contributed as literally to
the recent fund to introduce Amerl-
can football in Mexico as Americans
did. The nineteenth hole Of the
country clubs is the battle scene Of
many an argument between a Scot
and a Texan on just how golf
should be played, and a Canadian

Who Won the War?

And while In Mexico it cannot
be said that complete harmony ex-
lists between the citizens and sub
jectS Of the two great world pow
ers, and the question Of who won
the war" Is still deadlocked, the av-
erage road-minded and educated
traveller of both nations Is frequent
ly heard to comment on the appar-
ent friendly way In which the cou-
sins whom only the broad Atlantic
separates get along with each ctn-
er. There Is a British club that
has American members, an Amerl-
can club that some Britishers say
surpaSSes their own club, country
clubs with Anglo-American men,

thedral here Is British built and
under the jurisdiction OF the AM
erican Episcopal Cathedral with
sometimes a British or American
Dean under an American Bishop.
The Christ Church congregation
has its own weighty problems to
solve, 10 be true. chiefly one that
for thirty years has fred the Yes
try, whether the parson should pray
first for the King or for the Presi-
dent OF the United States. The
King has won out as a rule. The
American Bishop prays for the
British members OF the flock, and
the British Dean asks Him for de-
~liverance for his American sinners.
The English speaking Catholics are
eve more closely allied.
Common Problem
IN their charitable work the two
colonies have a common problem.
Worthy ard unworthy American
causes are disposed OF by the Am
erican Benevolent Society, while
the British Society OF Mexico does
a like work for its deserving and
u~ndeserving. There Is an annual
charity ball in Mexico City every
Thanksgiving. II is an Anglo
Mexican affair, with leaders In both
colonies a. its patrons and with
both Americans and Britishers on
the organizing committee. The
proceeds are equally divided be-
tween the two charitable institu-
tions.
American consuls have cared for
the interests Of Britishers, ard
British consulS more often for the
interests OF Americans, because of
strained relations at periods in re-
CEN years between the United
States and Mexico. The United
States has withheld recognition Of
this or that Mexico Government
since 1910 and England has done
likewise. Only recently william

PLAN FOR PACT
!. RESERVATION

A reservation to the London
Naval Treaty, affirming Americas
right to build the type and size
of ships necessary for proper ma.
tional defense, will be offered in
the Senate, it was learned yester-
day.
It's purpose Is to serve warning
that the Senate will not permit
another surrender OF America S
traditional naval policies. It's
adoption would mean that the
London Treaty must not be &C
cepted as a precedent for the pro
posed naval limitation confer
ence in 1895.
After a series of turbulent con-
ferences at the White House, it
was finally decided yesterday that
consideration of the treaty will
he postponed for the special ses
sion, which may be called next
week by President Hoover. Presi
dent Hoover discussed the treaty
with Senator Borah and Ambas-
sadorS Dawes and Morrow.
Senator johnson '(R), of Cali.
sfornia, meanwhile, admonished
the Senate not to be stampeded
into hasty consideration of the
treaty under threat of the White
