Garden Party
For Senator
And Mrs. Taft
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
Entertain at -
Rippon Lodge

Senator and Mrs. Robert A. Taft
were honor guests at a delightful
garden party yesterday when Mr..
and Mrs. Wade H. Ellis entertained
at their historic home, Rippon
Lodge, overlooking the Potomac
near Dumfries, Va. Senator and
Mrs. Taft and Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
have long been friends, having
known each other in Ohio where
Mr.. Ellis was attorney general of
the State and came to Washing
ton as Assistant Attorney General
during the administration of Sena-
tor Taft's father, the late President
William Howard Taft. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, widow of the former
Speaker. who was represented in
Congress from Cincinnati for many
years, was one of the large num-
Der of guests yesterday and had con-
siderable conversation with Mrs.
Edward Everett Gam, sister of the
late former Vice President Charles
Curtis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis received their
guests on the spacious lawn, the
hostess wearing Street-length chif-
ion gown with a background Of
white, with large red and green fig
ures. With this she wore a red hat
with wide brim. trimmed with navy
blue and green. Senator and Mrs.
Taft received with them, the latter
also wearing figured chiffon in shades
of purple and green and a green
hat. Her frock also was street.
length and fashioned after tailored
model.
Tables Are Placed
On Cooling Lawn.
Tables were placed on lawn that
guests might enjoy the cooling and
refreshing beverages and tea-hour
dellcacles with the view and the
scent of many blossoms and shrubs
in which Rippon Lodge abounts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis have accom-
pllshed much in the restoration of
the home of the formers ancestors,
who first settled in this country from
England. The history of the place
is OF more than usual interest, as 1t
passed out of the Blackbourne fam
lily several generations ago and while
investigating case for the Depart
ment OF Justice, Mr.. Ellis made a
trip to that section of Virginia,
where he asked questions about
the Blackbourne family and discov-
cred Rippon Lodge unoccupied and
uncared for. The name originally
was spelled Nippon, after the Eng
fish home of the Blackbournes, but
to insure the correct pronunciation
Mr.. and Mrs Ellis inserted a Sec
ond P. Several of the early owners
OF the place are buried there, the
ancient stone markers nearly worn
away.
The guests yesterday were repre-
sentative Of the many circles of
Capital society where Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis have made a place for them
selves since his retirement from
official life, and many fingered
through the twilight to admire the
glowing sunset through the giant
trees and the frightening shadows
on the wide green lawn.

Progress ut the Washington Hotel.

was q missionary with the Seventh
Day Adventist Church as well rs q
teacher Of health work among the
natives.
A close friend Of Charles Moore,
for many years chairman Of the
Fine Arts Commission In Washing
ton, Mrs. Votaw was asked by Mr..
Moore at the time of the building Of
the Lincoln Memorial and shortly
after her return from one Of her
trips to India, II she had any ideas
to offer for an approach to the Me-
mortal. A deep admirer Of the great
Indian monument, Mrs. Votaw sug-
gested a reflection pool at the ap-
proach to the Lincoln Memorial,
such as the one before the Tai
Mahal. It was on this suggestion
that Mr.. Moore carried out the de-
sign Of the mirror pool at the Lin
coin Memorial.
Mrs. Votaw has many pictures
and several copies Of the Tai Mahal,
whose beauty she claims is a thing
never to be forgotten. An ala
baster copy, which she ordered sew

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 90
Some 10000 curious citizens come to
bury Caesar Galento's fistic ambi-
tions remained today to praise the
dubious bloke. to marvel at his cour-
age. durability. and at his feat in
jolting the supposedly invincible
Dark Destroyer off his feet before
finally succumbing to Louis cruel,
methodical punches after nearly four
rounds of rill-drenched fighting.
Galento lost, but true to his prom
ise he was not counted cut. He was
bowed in prayerful pose at Referee
Arthur Donovan's feet when that
official wisely threw a protecting
arm around him after 2 minutes
and % seconds of the fourth round
But until the great Galento sagged
to the carpet, helpless and finally
beaten-but still willing to continue
he was a dangerous man.
Galento saved boxing, or at least
the heavyweight division, from a
slow death last night. With a smash
ing performance comparable to the

declining pastime. A multitude of

aura of invincibility surrounding the
champion.
Talk Turns to Nova Bout.
Today Galento, greater in defeat
than he would have been in victory,
is bigger box-office attraction
than ever before, and the talk veers
around to a match with Max Baer,
or possibly Lou Nova, in September
at Philadelphia.
"Give us Nova and we'll break i'm
in half" screamed Manager Joe
Jacobs in the dressing room after
the bout. "We1l give it to him good

ing card right now than he's ever
been He's got nothing to be ashamed
of. He gave 'em the best fight
they'll see in a long time. He was
another Firpo in there, and he
should've belted him out"
But Nova, eyeing a title fight,
wants no part of Galento. He rea-
sons that with nothing to gain and
everything to lose it wouldn't be
wise to box Tony and risk losing a
shot at the crown. He prefers to take
his chances with Louis, and if the
match goes through it will be staged
at Detroit in all probability. New
York isn't likely to support it in the
manner to which Promoter Mike
Jacobs is accustomed.
Mike, incidentally, still is sulking
over what he calls Tin not these
same words poor publicity for the
fight. He figured that with a IA
vorable press at least 10000 more
customers might have turned out
for the match. Joe Jacobs also bit
terly denounced the sports writing
fraternity for what he termed
(again in not precisely the same
English) unfair pre-fght notices.
He loudly proclaimed the virtues of
Fat Caesar, and none could deny
that Tony had delivered.
While Jacobs prefers to box Nova,
interested parties would rather have
Baer for his opponent in Phila-
delphia because of his color. But as
the matter now stands the heavy

NEW YORK, June % (N.AN.

eyed left. almost turned last
nights heavyweight title battle
upside down before succumbing
to Champion Joe Louis murder
GUS attack in the fourth round.
Louis was having things his
own way in the middle of the
third round. He had hurt Tony
badly. bounced him to the floor in
round two. No one ever takes
such punishment from the cham
pion and lives to strike back. SO
Joe thought the fight was in the
palm of his wine-colored glove.
He stalked in to end it and he
forgot to duck.
At random-for Antonio was
not seeing very we'll out of those
bleared and bloody eyes-he
landed a roundhouse left to Joe's
ribs and followed it with a right
that come by way of Cape Horn.
Of balance and utterly con-
fused, Louis fell on his launches.
Tony had the chance to con-
summate the weirdest and widest
upset of this generation of cauli-
flowers. But he couldn't.

Fight Toughest
He's Ever Had,
Champ Says
Tony Forces Bottle
Until He Becomes
Bloody Pulp
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, June 29.-The roof
finally fell in on Tony Galento last
night and nearly killed him, but
before it happened the bold New
Jersey barkeep gave great fight
crowd in Yankee Stadium a sue
cession of thrills it will not soon
forget.
Yes. Champion Joe Louis butch
cred the poor galoot, sent him fall
ing to his knees bleeding and help
less so that Referee Arthur Dono-
van had to stop it in 2:29 of the
fourth round. That was almost the
preordained result. But Tony gave
an account of himself that will en-
shrine him in the minds Of those
who saw.
Tony. the round man, never took
a backward STEP In the third
round, when his face already was
cut to ribbons and the heart would
long since have been beaten out
of less brave fighter, he swung a
left to Louis jaw that sent the
champion bouncing on the canvas.
Toughest Fight for Louis.
In the opening minutes, when
the fight was young, he rocked the
big, bronze champion to his heels
with another terrific left, and for a
fleeting instant held the champion
ship in the chubby fists that have
drawn 10000 beers. He did every
thing he said he would do-except
knock out "dat bum" Tony, the
man they've all been laughing at,
climaxed his career with his great
est performance
Louis, who had knocked out his
three previous challengers in less
than round each, said it was the
toughest fight he ever had. In that
terrible last round, when Galento
was defenseless, Joe said he had to
hit him a dozen times as hard as
he ever hit a man before Tony
finally fell into the referees arms
cropping for the ropes in desperate
effort to keep his feet.
Such a great stand did Galento
make that he probably will be
matched against Lou Nova, recent
conqueror of Max Baer, in Septem-
ber. Through battered, puffed lips
Tony begged for another chance al
Louis, but he won't get that. Nova
at the ringside after the battle, said
nothing would suit him better than
few shots at Tony, except chance
at the champion.
Champ Fights Pautiously.
If ever staggered Louis the way
Tony did he never would get away
from me-" declared the confident
young Californian. IF I'd had him
on the floor like Tony did, I would
have kept him there. The fellow
can't take a punch.
At that, those who had posted
Evening star., 1939-06-29

money at to l on Louis must have
come near swallowing their gullets
both times Galento landed on Joe's
whiskers. Each time all that saved
the champion from serious diff
culties was Tony's inability to follow
up fast. Tony simply couldn't shove
his 233 pounds forward and strike
again before Louis recovered.
Louis treated his stubby rival with
a world of respect after he got
clipped the first time. He claimed
afterward that it wasn't caution so
much as it was his inability to solve
Tony's crouching style. But for
time he stepped very lightly and
didn't really open up until series
of terrific left hooks had placed
Galento at his mercy.
Joe Knocked to Canvas.
Galento returned to his corner
with cut upper lip at the end of
the first round, the first of many
cuts he was to receive. They had
been at it only few seconds of the
second round when Louis whipped
over left to Tonys jaw that spun
him to the floor for a two-count. For
the remainder of the chapter Joe
handed his dazed opponent bad
beating, but couldn't put him down
again.
Thus was Tony's knockdown of
his tormentor in the third such an
electrifying thrill for the crowd of
nearly $4,000. Louis had been whip
ping them into the Orange mans
CORY face again, staggering him with
brutal rights. when Tony from in
close brought up a quick right and
then left squarely to the cham
pion's jaw.
Joe went down on his pants like
he had been clubbed, but quickly
braced himself with his hand on
the floor and was up again as the
tinlekeeper tolled two. Tony had
him going the rest of the round.
Left Hooks Check Tony.
Louis started the fourth dancing
around and keeping out of Tony's
reach, watching for the big chance.
Suddenly it came. Two left hooks
cracked on Galento's jaw like sum-
mer lightning, and he swayed like
tilted barrel, but didn't 60 down. In
a breath Louis was on him, pound
ing sledge- blows into Tony's
face. Within 10 seconds he made
Galento a horrible sight. 1t was
all over. Mrs. Galento cried bitterly
when she saw Tony's face as they
led him reeling into the Yanks'
dressing room.
Today Louis was heading for At
lantic City for vacation before re-
turning to Detroit. He didn't know
when they would want him to turn
his fists loose on another man.
Evening star., 1939-06-29

weight picture Is somewhat out of
focus and it would not be surprising
if Louis fought no more until next
year. Last night his handlers said
he was ready to meet anybody IF
the public wanted the match" The
implication was that they did not
care to send Joe into battle for
sack of COOLERS and two round "trip
tickets.
Getting back to the bout itself.
Donovan. in your reporters eyes,
stopped it at precisely the right mo-
ment. Thirty seconds sooner might
have left a reasonable doubt about
Galento's fitness to continue and
80 seconds later might have resulted
in serious injury to him. The vet
eran arbiter handled the fight we'll
and both sides acknowledged that
fact.
The blows that staggered Louis
left hook on the cheekbone in the
first round, and a right to the body
that f1oored him in the third, ad-
mittedly were not hard punches.
