IN A foreword to the folio announc-
ing the race Frank ]. Bryan, secre-
tary of the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association, pays profound
tribute to the young Virginian, who
had won virtually every important
hunt race in America, as well as the
hearts of racing crowds all over the
country
He was a sportsman in the truest
sense of the word, without single OPP
portunity ever to question intentions"
Mr.. Bryan writes. His integrity, his
ability and his strict adherence to all
things that can be claxsed as attributes
that go to make a man worth while,
really were unique as an example Of
the fine qualities that in these days
are so rare.
In the years that our mutual inter-
ests meant personal contact, seldom
talked to him that my thoughts did not
drift back to the famous words of Lord
North to his grandchildren, which I
am taking the liberty of quoting,
thinking how well they apply.

1ong Seen Sure Ring Champ Britain Set for Farr Knockout
SEEN AS USURPER
Of SARR0N'S TITLE
Smooth, 2-Handed Punching
Feather in One-Round
Defeat of CabeI|o.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

TINE brief glimpse of fistic talent
which Henry Armstrong I'M
yelled at Griffith Stadium last
a night in polishing off Johnny
Cabello apparently is sufficient for
most ringworms in this caulifiower
patch to cultivate sneaking suspicion
that Petey Sarron is wearing the world
featherweight crown simply because
he hasn't bumped into the paralWing
Negro.
OF course, Johnny's resistance
leaned toward the feeble side, but
even in that one round Armstrong
seemed the smoothest smacker the
featherweight division has yielded in
many months. He has less lost mo-
ton than an assembly line and the
punch undeniably is there.
Those short, chopping rights, swing
ing upward into Cabello's midsection,
exacted terrific toll which paved the
way for those crushing rights to the
head, the medium through which
Henry deposited Johnny on the canvas
twice in the first round.

VISION LOUIS
BOUT GOING LIMIT
Tom "RealIy Can't Attack"
They Say-Think He Has
Talked Too Much.
BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


r ONDON, August 17.-Theres a
suspicion in Britain that maybs
it's just as we'll that the future
- Of the empire doesn't depend on
Tommy Farr.
Which is to say that, if Joe Louis
mangles him August Is, the common
wealth will be braced for the shock.
If it isn't braced. it won't be tbs
fault of the British sports writers.
They have spent much time and many
shillings looking at the pictures of the
Louis-Jim Braddock fight, and. though
generally inclined to let their patriot
ism get in the way of their Judgment
in decisions of this kind, they are pick
ing Louis.
Mice fellow. Tommy, courageous
and all that sort of thing, but he really
can't attack, can he?" they say. The
critics don't believe their boy is gooo
enough to stay IS rounds with Louis
without getting hit too many times.
Regret His Eloquence.
THERE also is tendency here to
regret Tommy's recent eloquence.
It's all very well for Farr to make
hit in America, but what Britain wants
to knew is lis it dignified?" s-
Tommy's been quoted as saying he
wants to win so he can have family
and his opinions on the old school tie
have been printed. Ordinarily, one
just doesn't have public opinions on
having family or on the old school
tie!
One of the more constant contrib
utors to the London papers and also
one of the few who favor Farr is Ted
Broadribb. Fairs manager.
Broadribb is enthusiastic about
Fairs chances, and he's positively un-
British in his enthusiasm for Amer
lea. In one of his recent epics he
pumped himself into a great fight of
eloquence and concluded on this i'm
mortal note:
Louis Not Rated Champ.
II ONG live Long Branch, N. j..
Long Live Mike Jacobs" Of
icially, there is a definite tendency
to minimize the Importance Of the
bout, but even the past record of Brit
ish heavyweight contemders can't dis
courage the average British boxing
fan
The British Board of Boxing Con-
troll does not recognize Louis as chan-
-pion, so that Tommy would be Just
the American champion here were he
to beat Louis
There's no doubt, however. that he
would be the popular champion. Spe.
cial boats are carrying many British
fans to New York for the bout, and
even London's restaurants are carry
ing cabled stories of Tommy's training
activities on the backs of their menus.

Girl May Visit
Boys Home
MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. S.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am Is years of age and / have
a problem / would like to have you
settle. A friend, John Brown, who
is year older than /, comes to my
home on Sunday afternoons. &.
stays for a light supper which we
have in the kitchen, attends q
church service with me, and goes
home at about $3.50 or 10 o'clock.
Tonight he was ready to leave
and he said that he would not be
anxious to come to my home again
until visited his. 1 do not think
it would be proper for me to visit
this boys home, which is in dis
tant part of the city.
"AS there are, of course, no Sc
riOuS intentions between us, it is
not necessary for me to meet his
parents at present. 1 think it is
the girls place to entertain her
friends in her home.
"May have your opinion? I
would like to have your answer for
this bOy SOON" e."
Your answer for this boy would
correctly be that you would be
delighted to come to his home if
his mother would invite you. An
indirect invitation, from the boy
himself, while friendly and hos
pitable, is not enough, and he, will
admire you for graciously asking
for a direct invitation from his
mother.
I don't think that you are TAX
ing quite the right point of view
about going to this young mans
home. You and your parents have
offered him so much charming
hospitality in your home, that
naturally he wishes to make a ges-
ture of welcoming you to his
home.
This is just the pleasant give
and-take of hospitality. 1t has no
"deep significance" of serious in
tentions." It may not be "neceS-
sary" for you to meet his parents,
but it would be delightful for you
to meet them, for them to meet
you, and for you to be friend of
their home, as their son is a
friend of your home.
1 like so very much this young
mans suggestion that you come
to his home it shows that he
has breeding, mannerlinesS, a
sense of hospitality, a charming
wish to share his home and back
ground with you, a well-placed
desire to be on the giving, as well
as on the receiving, line.
All of this, of course, is subject
to the approval of your parents,
for their social judgment is, OF
course, the last word in this deci-
sion.
But since they apparently ap'
prove of this boy and of your see.
ing him, feel that they will also
approve of your going to his home
as "friend of the family" Pro,
vided that you are invited by his
mother!
