CHAPTER HI-COntinued

Kid Bender's quirt-marked hand
flashed to his gun. For the second
time in two days Wheeler forgot
his own unaccustomed weapon. The
horses were neck to neck, facing
each other; and now Wheeler, SIAM
ming the rowels into his own pony,
grabbed at the spade bit of Kid
Bender's horse.
Kid Bender's gun exploded sky
ward as the Kids horse reared
straight up, driven over backwards
by the plunge of Wheeler's pony
against the cruel bit. For an in
slant Bender's pony fought for it's
balance on its hind legs. Then to-
gether horse and man went down.
Wheeler whirled his pony aside;
and now he drew at last, and turned
the muzzle of his cooked gun up
ward, ready.
Bender's horse struggled up and
bolted, bucking against the loosened
saddle; but the man lay quiet where
he had gone down.

baldheaded space filler who thought
he could do the job in five rounds.
v. p. (D-The sum-it-all-up idea
that the thing would be made to
order for reviving Britain's falter-
ing boxing industry if re-enacted in
London next winter.
v. P. (D can be disposed of
summarily. It was by no means a
great fight or even a good one. Even
the Baer-Braddock waltz, previously
held UP as a horrible example when
mention was being made of heavy
weight championship f1operroos,
was a bargain in comparison to it.
No more than 10 mildly authorita-
tive blows were struck within the
course of the Is rounds.
v. P. (2) is not to be given the air
so easily. Farr, as was known in
advance, is mainly a young man
composed of elbows, cunning and
heart. He used all three of them
effectively. That his performance
against the champion was by no
means equal to that of the Schmel-
ing who knocked out Louis or the
Pastor who provided a boxing les
son cannot be held against him.
Neither can the point score which
shows that Referee Donovan gave
him only one round out of the 10
and called only one other even.
Then what? Well, for instance, let
us go into v. p. 60 which deals
with the Louis situation.
Joe won eight rounds out of the
fifteen on the Bradley score card.
They were rounds two, three, four,
five, seven, twelve, thirteen, four
teen. He was given the advantage
of the doubt in the second and
twelfth rounds which were slow, dull
and unsullied by blows of any sig
nificance. He was backing up, look
ing puzzled and fighting only in fur
ries in the fifteenth which went to
Farr as did six others.
Something-perhaps too much
success, perhaps vain efforts to
make a boxer out of him-has
changed the giant once known as
the Brown Bomber. He blinks his
eyes when the other man leads even
though he knows the other man has
TO more of a punch than has Farr.
He tries to keep his left up. This
does not protect his jaw which still
is almost as wide open as Schmeling
found it.

lightning speed from almost any
stance.
Joe no longer punches to the body,
blows which formerly weakened a
victim for the decisive slug to the
head. When he fought Pauline,
whose main defense was a pair of
elbows held high and close, he
banged away to the body. Then,
when Pauline dropped the defense
for a moment, he dabbed with Iefts
to the lugg as quickly as any cat
putting the clincher on a mouse.
Farr, with an old wound opened
under one eye and a slight cut un-
der the other, kept his elbows up
most Of Ire time to defend these
spots. Whsn they were dropped Joe
either could not see the openings or
was wild.

Louis Proves Worse
Than Most Severe
Critics Suspected
q New York Post.-wNU Service

WHILE Joe Louis and Tommy
w Farr were taking care o! their
international relations at Yankee
Stadium recently, two widely diver
gent viewpoints were developed.
One held by majority of the Woe
fully small crowd was that the visit
ing notable deserved the decision.
The other, entertained by the states
duly appointed referee and judges,
was that they could do their duty
only by declaring that the champion
had successfully defended his hon.
Ors.
Since then four other viewpoints
have been added to the general con-
fusion caused by the light fantastic
performance within the ring. I list
them forthwith:
v. p. O-The great radio audi
ence's impression that it was a

Orient is about the time that Rus
sian planes drove several crack Chi
nese divisions scurrying out of Bar
ga by showering them with what?
Bombs? Nothing so expensive!
Merely cabbages! A few years ago
a naval man would have told you
that few small gunboats could
defend any river community from
attack by Chinese army.
Chinese Change of Heart.
Perhaps the Japanese still viewed
the situation in that light when the
incident around Marco Polo bridge
touched off the present war. But
not today! Witlin short time it is
expected Tokyo will have 100000
men in the field.
This change of heart was not
brought about by fear of the Chinese
air force, for the Japanese could
make six of it. Nor by the crack
German-trained divisions recently
heralded in the Chinese army-for
Japan has had little difficulty in de-
feating crack divisions in the past.
1t was brought about by sudden
change of heart among the Chinese
themselves. China, almost over
night, has forgotten her thousand
and one internecine struggles, or
has postponed them until the i'm
portant business of Kidding the coun-
try of the hated invader is over.
She is presenting united front
against the foe.
Part of this nationalism springs
from ancient racial pride, rooted in
antiquity and synonymous with anti
Nipponism. There iS born into the
Chinese a racial hatred for Japan.
Large numbers of Japanese girls
may marry Chinese husbands; but
you will not find a Chinese girl mar
rying a japanese. That is where
the racial absorption theory falls
apart.
Once Favored Cooperation.
The second part of the Chinese
nationalism is new-and growing. It
is the result of China's steady en-
bracement of modern ideas, her
progress in education, social and
economic. The new China knows
that if she were left alone she
would shortly develop into a mod
ern state. Japan is well aware of
this. It is no coincidence, the en-
lightened Chinese claim, that so
many japanese bombs fall upon uni
versities and libraries, publishing
houses and museums. Anti-Nippon-
ism and this new Chinese national
ism are therefore inseparable.
Had the japanese been less self
ish in their policy of conquest, the
Chinese spirit probably would not
have been so thoroughly aroused. A
certain faction there has been in
China's recent past which has open
ly advocated cooperation with ia
pan. DR.. Sun Yat-sen and his Kuo-
mintang colleagues did. They be-
lieved that when China had been
developed economically and disci-
plined socially by the Japanese, she
could throw out the Japanese, as
well as all the rest of the foreign
ers in the country, and reassert her
dignity and independence. But this
faction has had chance to see the
vassalage in which Japan has
placed the conquered provinces,
and China will have no more of it.
Now for the first time the pro-
vincial war lords have seen the light
enough to put the salvation of the
nation above their own personal

quer an invader by absorption.
There are, according to the most
modern of qualified oriental observ-
ers, reasons why Japan may never
conquer China, but this time-hon-
ored reason is not one of them. The
chief reason is one which automatl-
cally denies this one. 1t is the
long-awaited bloom of Chinese ma
tionalism, which appears to have
| Powered at last.
China has been invaded periodi-
cally for a good many years. Per-
haps because of the belief of Chi
nese political leaders in the nations
capacity for racial absorption, per-
haps because of the inherent love of
peace which characterizes the Chi
nese, China, even as late as cou-
pie of years ago, was content to
believe that she could eventually
weather storms of Japanese inva-
sion without fighting. The Japanese
were quick to discover this, and be-
| gan to believe that they could cut
themselves larger and larger
chunks of their neighbours territory
virtually without fighting.
The attitudes of beth sides were
clearly demonstrated when the jap
anese successfully invaded Man.
churia in 1881, Jehol in 1882, east
ern Hopei in 1888, Chahar in 1884
and 1885, and Suiyuan in 1886.
The manner of these conquests
was encouraged by the Chinese re-
luctance to fight back. Always a
geographic frontier separated terri
tories controlled by the Chinese
from those controlled by the Japa-
nese. ''For the sake of peace"
Japan would demand that the Chi
nese side of the frontier area be
demilitarized. In the demilitarized
zone it would not be long before
what was termed popular auton-
omous movement" would spring up,
and a government would be formed
which was friendly to Japan; in a
short time Japan would have quietly
assumed political control of the
area.
No Unison Was Possible.
So, new geographic frontier
would be created. Then the Japa-
nese government would become an
noyed at "provocation" by Chinese
army units once more and new
demilitarized zone would have to be
established. Soon this would be-
come an autonomous state, friendly
to Japan.
And so on, and so on, and so on.
About the only serious resistance
Japan encountered during these in
vasions was that offered by the To-
cal troops of some Chinese war lord.
Internal jealousies and conflict were
such that no unified national oppo-
sition was possible. It was this con-
dition which provoked high Off
Ger in the French Indo China army,
travelling in China, to declare that
three divisions of any crack Euro
pean army could conquer the whole
country and single brigade could
police it thereafter.
In this belief Japan concurred.
Was it not her custom to send out
an expeditionary force of 10000 to
10000 men, and quickly clean up
the local Chinese unit of opposition
with such despatch that no other
war lord would be willing to send
his men against them? 1t took only
few japanese divisions to chase
100000 of the best-equipped Chinese
troops out of Manchuria. One of

throughout the United States as the

the record Of having introduced the
President more times than any other
man at the mike.
According to Smith and johnson
the Presidents train does not travel
very last as rule. However, for the
Presidents broadcasts at Bonneville
Dam and again at Cleveland, the
President and his party were hustled
along to their destination so that the
broadcasters could get microphones
the speakers stand and other tech
nical equipment set up in time for
radio listeners to hear the Presidents
voice.
At Bonneville Dam, President Roose-
velt was scheduled to be heard at $50
am. THE presidential train broke a
few records for itself, I believe" Smith
said, "for we reached Bonneville at
6:45 with approximately two hours and
half to spare" Had his speech not
been broadcast, the President proba bly,
would have arrived on the scene only
few minutes beforehand.
The radio team found evidence Of
the Presidents consideration again at
Cleveland. The presidential train
rushed ahead of its schedule SO that
they arrived in plenty of time to make
the necessary broadcasting arrange
ments.
IN THE few years since the begin
ming of President Roosevelt's ad-
