Louis KNOCKED
COLD IN 18th
BY SCHMELINC
Uhlan Has Brown Fighter
on Floor in Fourth in
Thrilling Battle

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Joe
Louis, the famed Brown Bomber,
of Detroit, met his match in the
Yankee stadium here last night.
He met his match in an old sup
posedly worn-out ring veteran,
Max Schmeling, the Black Uhlan,
who was given no chance to win
and who was expected to last only
a few rounds.
But this time Louis was not
meeting a man who died in the
dressing room. He met a cagey
veteran of 81 battles in the ring
in Europe and America, man
who was as tough as he was con-
fident of victory. A battle of a
century resulted, which will go
down as one of the greatest fights
in heavyweight annals.
Shuffling Joe felt out his man
in the first round, and started
dressing him for the kill in the
second, third and fourth, stabbing
at the bobbing and weaving Ger
man with his left.
Make was retreating, shaking
off lefts and few rights, until
he saw his opening in the fourth.
He let 90 his right and the UNI

for two counts.
After that knockdown in ,the.
fourth, Make went on to win the
fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, tenth,
eleventh sessions. Joe rallied in
the seventh to win by slight
margin.
In the eighth Joe landed left
hook to Makes groin, and at the
end of the session Referee DonO-
an told the judges he was taking
the round from the negro.
Louis, who had advantages of
youth, weight, reach, height and,
believedly, punch, was beaten be-
cause the determined German had
brought his 30-year-old body into
perfect condition and had studied
like a true ring technician the
work of his opponent.
The end came in the twelfth.
Make fired a jolting right to the
head, the negro fell to the ropes,
slipped to the floor, released his
hold on the ropes and was count
ed out for the greatest ring upset
in history.
Louis, the so-called "merciless
mutilator" stalked into the ring
to fight Make Schmeling like a
conquering Roman Gladiator, but
was carried out by a procession
remindful of a funeral.
For 20 minutes after the fight
he lay on his dressing room table

THE BLACK SHEEP

She stands on old church steps while
kindly neighbors
Expound their homely sympathy and
their vain regrets.
Silent, dry-eyed, incapable of tears
after years of labor.
Yet somewhat unsteadily she is made
to approach old sunsets,
Old songs, old dreams without num-

Her children pass in happy review;
The nights she tucked them in peace
full slumber.

VARIOUS VIEWS

A PLEASANT TRIP

A twenty-five trip from home this
afternoon gave me recreation and re-
Taxation. The old car was running
well. I had gone over many miles of
the smooth, concrete road before ]
knew it. When home again, the
speedometer showed I had been over
fifty miles during the trip.
The country is very pretty at this
time of year. Travelling in an auto
mobile, the roadside becomes a love-
ly panorama as it swiftly passes be-
fore the eyes.
There was time not many years
ago, when one could leave from home
and go eight or ten miles without
meeting more than three or four We
hicles, but today it is quite different:
When there were only a few people
travelling the road, we spoke to every
body we met, riding or walking. If
we should see somebody even attempt
ing to speak to the people who passed
him on the road we would mark him
down as maniac, because it is ar

impossibility to greet every person on
the highway today. These days we
give the brother motorist the "once-
over" or the Intelligent look" and
pass on. Often we have to watch the
road so closely that we do not even
glance at the passing brother.
The good old days of long ago have
gone perhaps forever, but we have to
wonder sometimes if they really were
the good old days after all, of if these
days with the modern conveniences,
radio, rapid transportation and ETC.,
are not the good old days? Anyway,
it is no little pleasure to press the ac-
celerator downward on a straight
stretch of level road; to hear the hum
of smooth running motor, and to
watch the distant scenery as it draws
near.

FATE OF COLCHESTER
is VERY UNCERTAIN

The bondholders who at present
own the Colchester Steamboat Co.,
are negotiating for a sale to several
parties but no definite information
is available. It is reported that one
company has made an offer for the
resort while another firm would like
to buy the concern and inaugurate a
ferry to Bayside where the Rock Hall
ferry formerly ran.
The former owners and managers,
it is said, are also negotiating for the
purchase of the company. The Giles
will likely continue to run at least I'M
til November.

NONE TOO ACUTE

Politics reaches fantastic height
Of absurdity in the effort of Chair
man Hamilton of the Republican
National Committee to persuade
Mr.. Roosevelt that the only way in
which he can convince the country
that he is not a Communist would
be to inaugurate an old-fashioned
raid on the Reds in the 1919 man.
ner. He further declares that Da-
vid Dubinsky, president of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, is as good as a Commu-
mist because his union contributed
to the Communists in SPAIN"
In view of Dubinsky's known rec
ord in fighting Communism in his
union, this is rather loose sort of
proof, especially since many people
not in sympathy with Communism
have contributed to the cause of
popular democratic government in
Spain in its fight against a Fascist
military reaction. But Mr.. Hamil-
ton is new to the niceties of social
theory and international politics an.
may be excused on those ground

PERFECT BRIDGE HANDS

Every once in a while we read of
someone holding a perfect bridge hand,
consisting of all 13 cards in a certain suit.
Such an extraordinary occurrence may be
accounted for in two ways-either the
cards were stacked, or somebody lied At
least, that is what happens in 80 per cent
of the reported cases.
OF course, the dealing of a perfect
hand after a legitimate shuttle is not i'm
possible, but the chance of any honestly
dealt hand consisting of an entire suit is
in 1873, 753, 100000. The improbability of
holding such hand is illustrated by a
computation showing that if each of the
100000 bridge players in the, United
States were to play Is hands every day,
according to the law of averages solid
suit would be dealt only once in three
years.
1t also has been figured out that when
cards are properly shuffled each player
should get singleton every three hands, a
6-card suit every six hands, and void suit
every 20 hands.
The above figures were worked out
by Frof Woodruff of Boston Tech, who
has invented a card shuffling machine
which will deal pack into hands of the
ideal random type in four seconds. He
has also figured the number of ways in
which the 81 cards may be arranged. If
anyone would like to see what such num-
Der looks like, let him write $4,000 and
add 60 ciphers. Then try to read it.

MOTHER OF MONARCHS

When in 1854 Letitia Romolino, a
rather obscure Corsician girl, married Car
los Bonaparte, an assessor, at the age of
IA, there was little in the occurrence to in
dictate the far-reaching influence that was
to follow their union.
1t was not particularly strange that
IL children were to be born to them, but
it is remarkable that of the 13, four were
destined to become emperors or kings and
two to become queens.
= The most famous, of course, was Ma
poleon Bonaparte, who became emperor of
France, and whose name fills more pages
of history than that of any other mortal
who, ever lived. He was the second child.
= IL Joseph the eldest, became king of
Spain; Jerome was king of Westphalia,
and Louis was king of Holland. One of
the daughters, Maria, became queen of
Naples, and Elisa became queen of Tos-
cana.
Two other children held lesser rank
Lucien becoming prince of Canine, and
Marie Pauline becoming duchess of Guas-
ITALIA.
Thus Letitia Ramolino has become
known to the world as 1.-The mother of
monarchs.'' 1t might be imagined, there
fore, that hers was happy life-but not
SO. She was often poverty-stricken, and
lived to see all her royal children shorn
of their power. When she died at the age
of sc the great Napoleon had been dead
Is years; all her other children had lost
their royal prerogatives, and while several
survived her they had ceased to be factors
in public affairs.
But in spite of all that, Letitia Ramo-
limo gave to the world a progency whose
activities did more to change the course of
events than that of any other mother who
ever lived.

LET'S START THEM RIGHT


There was a day when every young
American was assured that he had a
chance to become President of the United
States and, if he failed, that, at the worst,
he would probably make million dol
lars.
The result of this teaching has prob
ably been evil. The generations that have
grown ON such notions have been inclined
to grab for themselves and get all that the
law allows and some of the fruit that the
law prohibits
1t is about time that education include
the idea that an individual attains salts
faction, not by getting everything or the
highest honors, but by serving society in
his or her place with distinction. The de-
velopment of men and women into intelli-
gent creatures, with an understanding of
man and nature, is task that most of us
complete late in life, if at all. Maybe, by
starting early with the youngsters we
could help them attain greater goal
earlier in life, and that, we admit, is what
life is intended to accomplish.
