No doubt, too, this challenger, to
whom nobody conceded a chance
when the match was made, has
been hearing stories about Louis in
training over at Pompton Lakes,
where it is said that the camp is
somewhat perturbed over the
champions weight. His timing is
"off" by just that ominous fraction
of a second, so trivial in other
things but often so vital in the
ring. It can mean everything with
a counter-puncher like Louis.

row Saturday night when it com
petes in a special match race
against the University of Pitts

STIFFER TEST
Last Friday night Georgetown
continued its fine pace. speeding
over the planks in the mile event
in 3:3l to defeat Villanova and
Temple in the Penn A. c. games.
Against Pitt and Holy Cross, the
competition is sitter than that
faced by the Hoyas so far this
year. Last year. the three teams
competed, with Georgetown win
ming, and Pitt and Holy Cross fol-
lowing in order. Georgetown was
clicked in 1882 in this effort.
In addition to the mile relay
event Saturday night Georgetown
will enter Vincent Braun, Verona
IN. J) sophomore, in the 1000
yard handicap event. Braun while
competing for st. Benedict's Prep

 BY GRAND JURORS
Attorney Card R. Lundgren Remembered By AssOci=
 ates "With "Gifts"

Attorney Carl R. Lundgren, of Ansonia, foreman of the Waterbury extraordinary grand jury has been presented two "gavel" by brother members of the jury which may and may not be used at future sessions. Reliable sources said that at heated moment during past sessions of the jury, Lundgren pounded so heavily with his regulation gavel that it was split asunder.
 A few days later another member of the jury in a spirit of fun brought a very large and myster- ious package which was tied with 8 pink ribbon, and laid it gently on Foreman Lundgren's desk. The pink ribbon was not consistent with the contents of the package, however for it was a huge carpenters mal- let, with a handle about two feet long and ten inches diameter, and a head about half as long.
 Not to be outdone, another mem- Der of the jury decided to do even better for his foreman, and so he too. presented MT. Lundgren with a mallet. This however, was in the raw" being made from cord word
 It was at least three feet in length, with head foot and half long and twelve inches diameter It would require super-man to wield it according to parliamentary procedure.

CZECH CLERCYMEN
 MEET IN PRAYER

Philadelphia, May 26 -(UP)- Twenty-Five Czechslovak- American Lutheran clergymen yesterday went to Independence Hall--where the late Thomas G. Masaryk signed the Central European Republics De- claration of Independence 20 years ago--and prayed silently beside the Liberty Bell.
 The little group, led by Rev. Igor Bella of Bridgeport, Conn, President of the Czechslovakian Lutheran Synod of the United States. said that Nazi German pressure against their mother country had united the 1,500,000 Czechs who live in the United States. The ministers repre- sented only the 25,000 Lutheran Czechs in this country, but on the question of maintaining their coun- try's independence, they said they could speak for all.
 Masaryk, first president of the Republic, proclaimed his country's independence on Oct 28, 1918, in the same room where that of the United states was declared 142 years earlier.

CRAZED BY FEAR
 LEAPS TO DEATH

Everett, Mass, May 26.-(UP).- Crazed by the fear of losing his foundry job, Louis Wolinsky, 50, leap- ed to death from an attic window of his home today after bludgeoning his wife with a wrench so severely that she may die. Mrs. Esther Wol- insky, 49, told police that her hus- band, who was discharged from a psychopathic hospital recently, mutt tered and talked to himself when he rose to leave for work.
 Suddenly, she said, he dashed into her bedroom and attacked her with wrench. Her screams brought her two daughters to the room. Rushing against her father, Emma, 12, threw him off balance and Mrs. Wolinsky fled from the room, followed by the two girls.
 Instead of following them, Violin sky dashed to the attic and dived from the window. Mrs. Wolinsky was hospitalized for a skull fracture, brain concussion and multiple lacerations.
