NEW YORK, Sept. CUP)-For
the life of me I can't understand
the amazement, surprise, and in
dignation that is now rampant over
the refusal of heavyweight champ
ion Joe Louis to give Herr Max
Schmeling of Germany a crack at
the title.
I think it would be damn fine
thing if he did, being as the Ger
man is the only man with any
right whatsoever to challenge for
the Royal Purple or the Imperial
camel's hair or whatever it is that
heavyweight champions wear But
what sane man ever expected Louis
to sign with Schmeling until he
positively was forced to do SO, by
the refusal OF the paying customers
to watch him with anyone else?
On yesterday when Promoter
Mike Jacobs handed Schmeling an
other siX-months free ride on the
with the announce
ment that the champions next op-
ponent would be determined by a
heavyweight tournament, indigna-
ton was rife on Queer street, that
being another name for aulifloWer
alley. Temperatures were run, and
such words as craftsmanship fair
play, and ethics were tossed around
with much abandon.
Now when in the name of high
heaven, did any right thinking citi-
zen begin associating such words
with boxing? Boxing may not be
the most underhanded of sports,
but it'll run one-tWo-three with any
you can name Since Jim Figg's day
to this boxing has been a business
of hustlers, for hustlers, and by
hustlers. Men have gone into it
for their health, but they never
lasted long or got very far.
Boxing's coat of arms is the in
4 terlocked double cross, rampant on
a field Of broken promises. II is a
business of haggle and wrangle,
wiggle in and wiggle out. Louis isn't
the first champion to duck, side
step, and dodge an out and out
issue. He's just another in long
line, so I can't see the surprise.
Boxing being what it is, the man.
ayers of the Detroit boy are being
smart They've got million dollar
meal ticket, and can't set the sense
in subjecting him to a fight with
a man who, in the opinion of nearly
all the critics, can lick him five
days a week and twice on Sunday.
Does the background Of either Jul
ian Black or John RoXborough in
dicate that they are the type to
sacrifice a fortune on the altar of
sportsmanship?
Would Joe Gould have done it?
Billy Gibson? Doc Kearns? Joe
/ Jacobs?
You can bet your sweet and merry
they wouldn't have.
And before you waste too much
sympathy on Schmeling don't for
get that his treatment of Joe Jac-
obs, the man who lifted him from
nowhere TO riches and fame, has
not been a4i-sweetness and light.

Bv HENRY McLEMORE

To come right out and say so, Sch
melting has all but given Jacobs
a kick in the pants now that he
isn't needed any more. Joe still is
technically known as the Germans
American representative" but the
title is hollow as a hungry drum.
And before he booted Jacobs around
Herr Schmeling took a few boots
at one Bulow; unless my memory is
all wrong. 1t was Bulow, | believe,
who first saw his possibilities and,
in order to bring him to America
and a chance, paWned personal
possessions for steamship tickets.
No, brethren and sistern, don't
get upset by boxing's didoes.
1t has more angles than a pago-
da, and is strictly a business of the
survival of the un-fitteSt.

Post-Press Sports Editor

The El Centro amateur athletic
association will begin an elimina-
ton tournament on September
! to determine the valley champions
/ in each weight division.
The eliminations will be open to
all AA.U. amateurs in Imperial
Valley and the winners of the val
ley titles will form team to meet
a group of San Diego county cham
pionS in a series Of inter-club
matches.
The Coliseum Athletic club in
San Diego has already begun elimi-
nations to pick its county team
and viii have their titleholders
selected in less than a month.
The valley team will stand a
better than even chance to win
the flyweight, welterweight, and
lightweight championships but San
Diego Will undoubtedly be strong
est in middleweight, bantamweight,
featherweight, and light heavy
weight divisions.
Manuel Ortiz, Pacific Coast fly
weight champion, should have little
trouble in disposing OF San Diegos
best and Herman Graves should
easily dispose OF the San Diego
welterweight champion.
The lightweight division is the
valleys strongest. Jimmie Allen, the
Hogue twins, Villegas, INT Cobb,
Ike Blair and Oliver Coker will
probably fight it out for the right
TO represent the valley in the meet.
Anyone of the valley lightweights
could beat San Diego's best.
El Centro officials are some
What worried about the outcome
Of the valley tournament for the
Hogue twins stand a good chance
OF finishing in the finals.
San Diego's team Will be made
up mostly of Marine and Navy
fighters. More than 100 boxers have
entered the San Diego eliminations
and at least are expected to bid
for valley titles.
The resulting team matches be-
tween San Diego and the valley
fighters should overShadow any
card ever shown in a valley arena.

YOUTH PROJECT AT
BREVARD HELPFUL
Director Mcintosh Proud of Record
His Administration Is Making

Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Aug. 4.-The National
Youth Administrations project at
Brevard College, Brevard, is being
cited by C. E. Mcintosh, NYA director
for North Carolina, as a fine example
of the real worth of this "New Deal"
activity.
The young men employed on this
project are performing really valuable
services and are being greatly bene-
fitted themselves, while at the same
time they are doing constructive
work which will be of value to the
college and community.
,''The work project is divided into
i three sections" said Mr.. Mcintosh.
."Ten or twelve of the boys are build
/ ing a city street which runs through
THE college campus Three boys have
been assigned to work on the city
| golf course, building bunkers, setting
! sod on the fairways and doing other
| useful work.
: "The most important work which
is being done on the project, however,
! is the building of a vocational agri-
7 culture buEdEng and shop on the
| grounds of the Brevard high school.
The teaching program is also pro-
I crossing nicely, though some of the
boys are not beyond fourth grade
level in academic ability
II feel that we have got a real
project started at Brevard College
The boys seem happy, have organized
/ a student government council and
! have agreed to set of regulation:
which are all that could be desired.
+ "The boys board in the regular col
lege dining room, occupy two floors
at Taylor Hall, have been accepted
into, the social activities of the regu-
lar student body and some of them
will return in September to enter the

Failure to Remit to State
Brings Double Interest,
or IL Percent
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. Aug. 4.-Many North Car
DINA EMPLOYERS are being penalized
| by having to pay double interest
rate of IL per cent on the amounts
| they are due to contribute to the
State Unemployment Compensation
| Fund on Their rnFoyees because
they fail to make the payments by
| the time they are due, Charles G.
| Powell, chairman of the commission,
! said today.
Contributions of 1896 payrolls were
| due, after extensions, on March 81,
| at the rate of nine-tenths of one per
cent. Starting with April 1, employ
ers were penalized at the rate OF one
| per cent a month on due and unpaid
amounts, divided into one-tenth OF
one per cent each three days or frac-
ton thereof. Hundreds of employers
did not make the payment on time
and 1885 contributions are still being
collected as they are discovered by
field representatives and the office.
The double interest rate is applied.
For the first quarter of 1887, Janu-
ary, February and March, contribu-
tons Of 18 per cent of the payrolls
were due by May 1, after which the
double interest rate was added. April
contributions were due May 10, May
contributions were due June rs, June
contributions were due July %. The
interest in applied after these dates
at II per cent And, since May 49,
when April contributions were due.
the date for payment of months
contributions has been fixed definitely
and permanently on the 25th of the
month following.
t'Many of these employers who
have had and will have to pay the
double interest did not know they
were under the act and did nat make
the proper Investigations early
enough" said Mr. Powell. "They as
sumed that they were not liable, or
decided to wait until they were mott
fled of their liability. That does not
relieve them from paying the one per
cent month or double interest" Mr..
Powell said.-
Employers who failed to submit re-
ports of their payments to individual
employees for the first quarter when
such reports were due, and still have
not filed the reports, are being cited
to show cause why the penalties pro-
vided by the act should not be i'm

| chase her twill from him. And
she really must scold Anetka; she
shouldn't have tried to sell that
shade of green to the jaundiced
Mrs. Poole. Mary regretted rum
ming off at tea time the day be-
fore. When she wasn't there,
Anetka was sure to make some
stupid error, like charging so lit
tie for the blouse that would have
brought at least 300 francs.
"Plees! Mademoiselle!"
Mary looked up from her aOr
counts, followed Gabrielle into the
workroom. Mrs. Hartman's beige
jersey was ready for her inspec-
ton. She turned it inside out,
studied the finish on the seams,
gave it back to Madelon with in
structions to remove a quicker.
The bell tinkled, was followed
by Anetka's welcoming voice.
Busy with scrutiny of a piece of
fur which had arrived few min
utes before, Mary paid no heed.
In a moment she sighed, and put
it on the table, slipped off her
apron, patted her hair.
Anetka's voice called to her:
"Cherie! Marie! Come please.
Madame Alleeng wishes to con-
suit with you'll"
She picked up her large sketch
pad and soft pencil, parted the
curtains and saw with proprie-
tory eye that at last she had
trained the maid to dust properly.
"Iow do you do, Mrs. Alling.
Z. This is the daughter you
promised to bring to us? .. But,
of course, she is quite right! She
should wear pink with her lovely
Titan hair! Now, think some
thing Grecian - She picked
up her sketch pad, sketched light
ly, quickly. Something not
sophisticated for such young
girl, but something ageless."
While her pencil raced over the
page, she studied the faces of her
audience and turned to the girl.
"You like it?"
Janice loved it. Her mother
liked it, Mary saw at once.
In tulle, perhaps?
"First fitting Wednesday," Mary
said and made it sound like the
comforting of a favor. "The price
will be 1900 francs. No, I'm
afraid we can't finish it in less
than a fortnight"
She hid her smile as she bent
over her appointment book, know
ing the expression that Anetka
couldn't hide. She must teach her
not to look so startled when she
mentioned prices beyond Anetka's
widest dreams, or when she said
they couldn't finish it in less than
fortnight when Anetka knew
they could do it in three days.
She must teach Anetka little
psychology.
/ In one month it was no longer
untrue that they couldn't fill or
ders in less than two weeks. i
Two days before Christmas.
Anetka said, marie, have a
most wonderful surprise for you!
am going to make you my part

CHAPTER 10

IN LATE September Mark
Sutherland was returning to
America.
Mary drove out to the airdrome
with him and bid him farewell
with a mixture of relief and re-
gret.
She'd known him for less than
two months but those had been
crowded months. For all that she
had never felt that Mark had a
genuine measure of her liking, she
was deeply grateful to him. She
had many reasons for being
grateful; Mark had made it posi-
BILE for her to find niche in the
world that she wanted; he had
made her introduction to Paris a
gay and unforgettable one. When
he left, she knew she would miss
him, would find time for the
thoughts that she had been able
to crowd out of her mind.
They'd done everything there
was to do in Paris, at least the
things that it was possible for two
young, gay companions. They'd
seen the revues, dined in famous
and in out-of-way places. They'd
danced at the Embassy, the Lido
and the Ermitage Muscovite.
They'd gone to the Moulin Rouge
and Bal Tabarin. She'd seen
Mark play polo at the beautiful
field at the Saint Cloud Country
club; and screeched . herself
hoarse at his side the night they
went to Wonderland to see the
boxing matches.
Together they'd been swimming
in the incredibly beautiful pool at
Claridge's, watched Pelote at
Montrouge beyond the Porte
dOrleans.
He'd bought books for her at
the stalls that lined the Seine, pre-
scented her with quaint bouquets
bought from the bright-eyed old
ladies who added so much color to
those ambling adventures.
He'd given a party for Mary and
Kate and Ellin.
Yes, she would miss him. But
she was relieved that he was de-
parting, for these were days and
nights when it took all the energy
she had to make order out of
chaos in hor now life
Her days were humble ones,
filled with the tasks attendant on
her desire to prove of worth to
Anetka; days that ended in fatigue
so great that she had little spirit
