Running steady gait most of the

winner of the B.A.A. Marathon.
Brown covered the strenuous 26 mile

SCATTERING the record set by Leslie
Pawson in 1888 when he was clicked
IN 2 hours, 81 minutes, 1876 seconds.
Brown, who also won the Marathon in
1886, pointed out the strategy adopted
by him over the route. He set a fast
pace at the start, and maintained
same to the finish, with the idea of
eliminating opponents. At IL o'clock
$50 confident plodders graced the
starting line at Hopkinton, and broke

THE L0UIS-ROPER
FIGHT
THE BOMBER FINISHES ROPER
IN THE FIRST

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April Joe
Louis successfully defended his world
heavyweight title tonight when he
blasted out the challenger for his
crown in exactly minutes and 20
seconds of the first round of their
scheduled 10 round bout.
Bomber Does Quick Job
In effectiveness, this bout was remi-
niscent of the famous Louis Schmel-
ing battle, as Louis after a swift ex-
change which found the two feeling
each other out, went right to work on
the &c year old veteran. A sharp left
hook to the chin had Roper wobbly
from the impact of the punch and he
clinched to weather the storm. Roper
connected with rights and lefts in a
brief exchange, but the Bomber's pow
erful heaves took complete command.
The attack launched by the Bomber
sent his opponents head jerking back,
finally dropping him to his knees in
his own corner. He was not uncon-
scious but was so stunned he failed in
his desperate effort to pull himself I'D
by the ropes. After one last try he
fell over on his face a beaten warrior.
A hard left and right had turned the
trick, as it struck its target like a
thunderbolt.
Roper Was Confident
Roper, weighing 205 to Louis 2O1A
entered the ring supremely confident
that his practically lone punch. a
devastating textbook, would stop the
sensational Brown Bomber. He had
predicted earlier that if he hit Louis
with the punch that had stopped his
last six opponents, Louis was due to
hit the deck. Well, he hit the Bomber
with that left hook and nothing hap
pened; it must have made "Terror
Joe" sore, for it spelled the way out

Our story about milk snakes seems
to have been interesting to many
persons. if I may Judge by the num-
ber of letters which have come to
me about it. At the end of my
story, said that if any reader had
seen a milk snake drink milk, or
milk a COW. I should like to hear
from him. Here are few examples
of the letters this brought in:
When I was eight years old. I
used to follow my stepmother with
a tin cup when she went milking.
and would drink all the fresh milk
I could. One day I saw a snake
which stood straight up and took
milk from the udder of a COW. My
stepmother afterward left Mime
sofa and went to North Dakota.
Twenty years later she came back
for visit, and showed me the place
where the cow had stood under the
trees. Now I'm past So but 1 still
remember that snake.

boy they had a COW which had al
ways been good mixer, but which
came home dry several nights
straight. His father found and killed
a large milk snake near the tree
where this COW always stood, and
she never came home dry again.
This happened at Carmel, N. j.,
about 1911
MRS. JOHN KUPSEY."
During my younger life in north
ern Italy. saw snakes wind them
selves twice around a cows legs and
drink the milk. After this hap
pened. cow would not let a calf
get its milk As soon as she was
let out, she would go for the place
where the snake was. These snakes
usually grow about three feet long.
They are gray on top, with a green
spot and light color underneath.

from the udder. I saw this only
once, but have heard reliable farm
ers talk about watching a certain
COW so they could catch the snake
bothering it. The farmer finds
COW giving milk with a tinge of
blood, which shows that its udder
has been overstrained The COW has
a habit of going to one place every
day. "W. D. ANTHONY"
I wish to thank these readers for
writing to me on this subject. Next
week we shall have more to say
about milk snakes, and I plan to
give at least one more letter.

The fact that you know you can
make game or even flve-odd in
hearts yourself is of little value If
the opponents at the same time can
make five spades against you. How
ever. in today's hand North man
aged to convince the opponents that
he was defending desperately-no
bidding something he was sure
could be made.
South's two-heart overcall was
slightly under a normal minimum
If anything, and Vests raise to TWO
spades was not particularly good.
Now North. looking at his tremen-
dous hand. realized that he and his
partner could make five hearts
easily. At the same time it was
apparent to him that the opponents
held both black aces and that his
side could not expect to make a
slam. Furthermore, it appeared to
him as if the opponents could make
as many spades as his side could
make hearts. Accordingly he made
the brilliant bid of pass" at the
same time holding his breath for
! fear that East would also pass
However, East's hand was entirely
too strong, and he jumped to four
spades. Then when the bidding
came around to North, he went to
five hearts.
East. with his two ace-kings,
doubled like a shot. It looked Ike
good set. While West with his
hand suspected that the penalty
would not be much. at the same
time he did not like to go on TO five
spades with only two queens.
The queen of spades was opened.
East overlook and cashed the king
of clubs, whereupon declarer spread
his hand for the balance of the
tricks, making five-odd doubled. If
North had not trapped the oppo-
nents, East and West would un-
doubtedly have bid five spades, and
North would have been forced to
really sacrifice at six hearts. AS it
was, he had stolen the game.

opponents really have a good SPADE

In this situation will not shut them

be exposed to this score, but a more robust feeling is now growing on both sides of the channel. The French military authorities are in- clined to view air attack as only a somewhat less efficient and more widely ranging form of artillery bombardment. The British are con- scious of very rapid increases in strength and efficiency; already the British air force is far stronger than in September and all the arrange mentS for enduring air attack have advanced. It is not perhaps too much to say that by 1940 the British air force and the British nation will feel great measure of confidence so far as the defense of the British Isles is concerned.
