SPORTS EDITOR
Says

I have on my desk a
photograph of a boxer who
died in Pittsburgh la S t
week. He is sitting in his
corner after being knocked
out, his handlers shipping
off the laces which bound
his gloves to his hands.
The victim Is looking up
piteously toward his seconds,
mouth bleeding, face distorted
and eyes CLASSY.
The picture was too horrible to
print, because I believe the sports
section of a newspaper should be
illustrated with much happier
stuff, but there was a sort of a
sermon in that photo-a sermon
from which I shuddered.
I fell to thinking. as one some
times will do when one does a
bit every day for the customers,
and I took up my telephone and
asked our boxing commission if it
were possible for such a thing to
happen in Washington.
And I am happy to report that
it is practically impossible for a
fatality to occur within a Wash
ington ring-for several reasons.
In the first place, the referees
here are carefully schooled to
watch the eyes of a contestant
all contestants-but most particu-
larly those who seem to be TAX

WHITMAN WINNER
OF AIR SPEED RACE
Change in Character of
Show May Follow Deaths
of Two Flyers.
BY the Associs ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla, Dec. 4.-Piloting a
silver and red spider-like racer, S. J.
Whitman Of Oshkosh, Wis, ran away
from his field today in the only speed
event Of the second day Of Miami's
winter air show.
Bereft of competition by the violent
deaths yesterday Of Rudy Killing, Le-
mont, Ill, and Frank Haines, Detroit,
today's race was merely a breeze for
Whitman, in spite of a 30-second
handicap imposed on him.
All the other ships in the event
were stock models, Wittman's plane
was throttled down throughout the
l0-mile race and his average speed
was only 1854 miles an hour.
Bob Davis is Second.
Bob Davis, Bloomington, ul, flying
a monocoupe, was second; John E.
Crowell. Winston Salem, N. c., third,
and Tex La Grone, Kansas City, Mo-,
III waco, lOuTJn.
Joe Marrs, Miami, captured a light
plane race and Waldron Schanz.
Bernardsville, N. j., a novelty race,
in which the slowest ship was ad-
judged the winner.
Interspersed between the races were
mass flights by Navy and Marine
squadrons from the Opa- -Locka, Fla.
and Quantico, Va, bases. Mike
Murphy of Kokomo, Ind, landed a
light plane on the top OF a moving
automobile.
Safety Move Seen.
Partly as a result of yesterdays
crashes, which took the lives of two
crack pilots as they rounded the first
or scatter pylon. impetus was given
to move to chance the character Of
the traditional American air show.
1t was learned plans had been
formulated to invite some leading
figures in the manufacturing and
transport industries to serve as di-
rectors of the National Air Race Corp.
in Cleveland.
Certain of the aircraft manu-
facturers and air line operators long
have been bitterly opposed to the
conventional air meet, with its hazards,
on the ground that it retarded avia-
ton development by instilling fear
of flying in the public.
An effort will be made to separate
high speed racing in the type Of
craft employed by Killing and Haines,
and stock model racing.

Holmes House
Is Proposed as
National Shrine

The residence of the late Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes, at 1870 I
street NV, would be preserved As a
national shrine, housing the famous
jurist's law library, if proposal made
in the Senate yesterday by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Of Massachusetts
is carried out.
While not committed to any particu-
lar form Of memorial use for the build
ing, the Senator said consideration
might be given to making the law
library available as a place of study
and research for young law students
working their way through college.
Senator Walsh explained that In his
Will Justice Holmes made the United
States Government the residuarv
legatee OF his estate, and that all
other assets except the home have
been converted into cash. Unless
legislative action is taken, Senator
Walsh said, the executor must sell
the house, in which case it would pass
out OF control of the Government.
The resolution he introduced would
allow the Attorney General to accept
deed to the property in behalf of the
United States, thereby retaining the
mouse under Government control.

and kept asking me about her.
Well. II got so finally it was Just
automatic. I never even looked at
her or gave it a second thought, Just
hauled her in, laid her out and
thumped her ribs till she came to.
1t was old stuff by this time; no.
body even bothered to watch, 'cept
to point her out to stranger as
one OF the sights. I wondered why
she kept coming back for more, but
l never suspected till one day along
toward the end Of the season.
she was stretched out, limp as
usual, and I a-pounding her back
and thinking about what Id do nv
next day off. I happened to look at
her for some reason. and I noticed
something looked different. After a
minute I saw what it was. Eme
line wasn't fat any more. Then I
saw through it and felt pretty funny.
Shed always had a pretty face. I
suppose, only you hadn't noticed it
much. But now she was down to
normal size, I saw what I'd been
missing I got to thinking 50 hard
didn't stop whacking her till she
rolled over and got up. Gee, she was
some class!
Well, after that I used to watch for
Emellne and her canoe. A couple of
times 1 was out there before it's hard
~ spilled over. The other dolls didn't
bother me much from then on. Sew
eral times I got up nerve to talk to
her, but she didn't have much of q
llne-JuSt say word or two in
snooty way and shut up. I liked to
lninK She was Just shy or some-
thing. So pretty soon comes Sep
tember IS, when the beach is due to
close. Id been thinking it over, and
maze up my mind: Now or never"
so when the daily act comes off, and
I'm squeezing the air back into her
that day, I takes the plunge. 1 told
her l loved her and all that old line,
you know, and then I asked her to
marry me. Well, sir, she sits up
quick and looks at me and snaps,
Certainly not!"
That made me sore, so I grabbed
ahold Of her arm Listen, Eme-
line 1 says, you're not foolin' me
any. You amt been fallin' outa ca
noes and drinking up the bay all
Summer just for the fun of it. You
wanted attention, so don't let on
you don't like me when you get it,"
Emeline stood there and laughed
at me. You don't really think all
that was for you, do you?' says she.
She was turning ring round on her
fnger that had diamond the size
OF your fist in it. Besides" she saws,
Il didn't drink much water-outside
Of the first two or three times; those
were accidents. But then I discov-
cred that your pumping and thump-
ing had cut four pounds off me. No.
body else has ever been able to do
that. So what did do? Why, faxed
1t the rest of the Summer, and now
look at me. You Know" says she,
you'd make. your fortune in a re-
ducing parlor; you're wonderful"
Well, I didn't know what to say or
whether she was kidding me or what,
50 I just stands there. Emeline's
voice was different when she spoke
up again. Next week" she says
I'm being married to Freddie Dun
can OF Lascombe, Sewell g. Duncan,
the investment brokers. I'd never
have done it without you" Then she
grabs my hand and says, Thanks
awfully," and before I knew 1t she's
almost to the lockers.
