Buchanan Dates.
TO the Editor of The Star:
Please refer to your editorial entitled
Relations with the Papacy" in todays
Oec. 26 issue of The Star.
Especial attention is invited to the
penultimate sentence of the first para
graph which contains statement read
ing as follows: In 1848 President Bu-
chanan commissioned James L. Martin
as the United States first envoy
to the Papal States"
History indicates that James Bu-
chanan was President of the United
States during the term 1857 to 1861.
However, he served as Secretary of
State during the incumbency of James
K. Polk, who was our Chief Executive
for the term 1845 to 1849.
The actual year during which the
first envoy to the Papal States was
commissioned therefore does not seem
to be definitely indicated unless we as
sumo that the President, by and with
the advice of the Senate, is the only
one who can commission an envoy, in
which case 1858 would be the year
that is, if Mr.. Martin was sent as envoy
to the Papal States during the Presi
dency of James Buchanan.

Lundeen Proposal.

Lundeen Proposal.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
I was interested in the letter from
your correspondent who gives her ''im-
mediate and full Endorsement" to Sen
ator Lundeen and company for their
efforts to have the American people
seize the territories and peoples of
friendly countries.
The lady is suffering from slight
misapprehension. Nobody knows better
than Senator Lundeen that this Nation
has not yet sunk so low as to copy the
genius of Hitler with his marvellous
timing" "a genius" and timing"
which are shared with the hero who
stabs his friend in the back, knocks down
a blind man, and murders a child to
steal its little gold ring).
No, Senator Lundeen and his play
mates don't think that this great country
will be ready for that sort of thing for
a long, long time. They do hope that
the idea will start little infection which
with good fortune (from their point of
view may gradually spread until the
blood stream of American decency is
SO polluted that we may be ready after
some years to go forth to war against
our friendly neighbors.

ELLIS, JORDAN
 IN RETURN co
Popular Amateurs Here Friday; Turcotte and
 CiarlO to Show

Bobby Ellis of New Britain has been given a royal chance to prove the decision he received over George Jordan of Springfield two weeks ago was the real Mccoy. and on the other hand, Jordan gets an- other chance to show that he can beat Ellis, as many fans thought he did the last time, or as many more of them allowed "the worst he should have had was draw"
 The difference of opinion with the official decision is the reason for the rematch, which should attract many fans. The boys are paired Friday at Buckingham hall.
 Scores of. others will come to see Tommy Ciarlo try conclusions with Billy Towne of Springfield. The latter is strong, willing mixer, and a better boxer than Ciarlo, though the local boys has the old sockeroo, and will be the favorite to win since his recent scintillating victories over

Pawson, Dengis Top Picks Today in Famous Boston
 Run of 26 Miles
BY JIM MAHONY Limited Press Staff C0rreSnondentl

Boston, April 19. = (UP) = A round trip ticket to Finland in the form of a 1940 Olympic team berth will be riding on the outcome of the 43rd annual Boston A. A. Mar athon today.
 The field of 2l5 runners from 10 states. the District of Columbia, and four Canadian provinces, in- cluded the course record holder and defending champion, Les Pawson, and four other former winners.
 For the first time in recent years, occasional rain was expected to mar the day. Moderate temperatures prevailed.
 Pawson, 34. of Pawtucket. R. l., set the record of two hours, 3l 1nin- utes, 3-5 seconds in 1893, and no one has come within a minute of his time for the 26-mile, 385-yard Hopkinston-to Boston course. Former champions entered against him were the 50-year-old New Eng land printer, Clarence De Mar, who has held the title seven times; Elli- son (Tarzan) Brown, Narragan- sett Indian, Johnny Kelly, Boston, and Walter Young of Verdun, Que.
 While Pawson was the favorite, Pat Dengis of Baltimore was ex- pected to give him a tussle, Dengis has finished second twice. includ- ing last year against Pawson. He underwent a throat operation sev- eral months ago and is about five pounds oyer his best competitive weight of 132. He has been train ing for nearly a month, however, and if his form approaches that of last year when he took the Ma t,onal, Canadian, and Pan-A -Ameri- can titles, he should win in walk
 An amazing record of 2:26:l0 was recorded decade ago by a Nova Scotian, Johnny Miles, but the time was not accepted whe nthe course was re-measured and found 176 yards short.

ARCHIBALD NOW THE UNDISPUTED KING
First Title GO in Rhode Island Draws Less Than
 $lO,OOO
By TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Providence, R. l., April 19-(UP) The featherweight championship dispute that began when Henry Armstrong vacated the 126-pouno crown was all settled today in favor of Joey Archibald, a grinning Rhode Islander whose claim has been rec ognized only in New York previously
 Archibald vanquished Leo Kodak of Chicago in close, hard-fought 15-round bout last night. Kodak had been recognized by the National Boxing association.
 It was the first title fight of any division ever held in the state, and Promoter Nanny Almeida, who had predicted a gate of $30,000, was vastly disappointed by the crowd of $500 which left less than $10,000 at the ticket windows. Archibald had been guaranteed $6,000 or 30 per cent of the gate, and Kodak was fighting for 25 per cent of the gate.
 Wants Three Crowns
 Archibald is one of the half-dozen topfight campaigners in the stable of the veteran manager, Al Weill, who promised Joey would be fight ing champion and hailed the title as the first of three he will control be- fore another year.
 Joey will meet anyone" Veil said. I'm tickled to death that the championship has come to Rhode Island. Kodak is great fighter, and if we can find spot where he can get some money, we will give him a chance at the title.
 I'm counting on Lou Ambers to do the same thing to Armstrong when they meet for the lightweight title this summer, and Sammy Luft- spring, my Canadian fighter, will be ready to take Armstrongs Welter- weight title by next spring.
 Nate Lewis, manager of Kodak, beefed about the decision. He com plained that Joey should have been penalized by Referee Tim Ferrick for low punching in several rounds
 MT. Tunney's Score
 "The referee is the gamest man in America" he said, "and you can take that any way you please. Gene Tun- ney scored II rounds in favor of Lou and how Ferrick could arrive at his decision is beyond me-"
 The United Press score sheet gave Archibald seven. Kodak six and called two even. They came out for the 18th all even, and Archibald s whirlwind finish gave him the edge.
 Kodak opened slight cut over Joey's eye in the second round ard begged away ineffectively at the in- jured optic until the 14th when a stream of left jabs reopened the gash. Blood poured from the wound as Archibald went back to his cor ner at the end of the round, but his seconds stopped the flow before the bell for the 18th.
 The easterner tore out of his cor ner for the final round, jumping and clawing wildly at Kodak. The sav- ageness of his attack made the Chi cagoan break ground. Weill had told Archibald he would have to go out to win the decision and he did Neither hand ever stopped throwing punches in that last whirlwind ef- fort. He was bloody and spent wher 1t ended, but the title was his. re- gardless of how the prominent MT Tunney scored it.
 Archibaild weighed l23 3-4. Ro- dak 125.

Dodgers Are Stopped By Giants 7-3 Bonura
 Stars; Bridges Wins
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, April 19.-UP)-Base- balls big opening having been spoil ed by rain and cold, nine major league clubs hoped to play their initial games today.
 But in Brooklyn they wished they hadn't opened at all. One swallow doesn't make summer and one game doesn't make season but the Dodgers quickly reverted to type in their moist opener with the Giants yesterday, and Bill Terry's rebuilt club smacked them, 7-3.
 Brooklyn fans, whose hopes had been aroused by the punching around the Dodgers gave the Tanks in spring training, have reverted to their old battle-cry, Wait till next year."
 Only two other openers were play ed yesterday. The St. Louis Car dinals nosed the Pittsburg Pirates 3-2, and the Detroit Tigers blasted a 6-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. A total of 83,496 saw the three games, far below expec- tations because of forbidding weather.
 Leo Durocher, making his debut as Brooklyn manager, couldn't re- sist starting Red Evans, the New Orleans rookie pitcher the Dodgers stole" from Bill Terry. What story 1t would have made if Evans bought by the Giants from New Or leans for $12,500 and pitcher and then plucked of the Giants Jersey City farm club by Larry MacPhail for $7,500, could have beaten the Giants.
 Durocher appreciated the drama of the situation, and gambled with Evans but the loquacious redhead who has a penchant for beer wasn't equal to the occasion. He lasted only five innings giving up six runs and eight hits, and was charged Witk the defeat.
 Deals Look Good
 Harry Gumbert kept the Dodgers seven hits well scattered and backed up advance notice that he'll be the Giants No. pitcher, now that Carl Hubbell is headed over the hill.
 Terry's winter deals made "Vin- egar Bill" look good for one day anyway. zeke Bonura led the Giants attack with homer Gin the third, two on) and two singles and at field he handled 16 chances safely. The two ex-Cubs, Frank Demaree and Billy Jurges, came through in splendid style. Jurges made two hits and Demaree one ir pinch.
 Ray Blades got off to flying start in his debut as Cardinal pilot His club won with a three run rally in the seventh. Joe Medwick sin gled with the bases loaded, driving in two runs. Then the winning TUT came in on Johnny Mixes sacrifice fly. Bob Weiland and Clyde Shour scattered nine hits to the Pirates Bob Klinger weakened in the sev. enth after banking the Cards fol six frames.
 Tommy Bridges let the White So, down with seven hits in a rair drenched Detroit opener. Tommy after two years of arm trouble seems definitely on the way to a biz season. Pete Fox led the Tigers l2-hit attack with three singles Barney McCoskey, Beaumont rookie making his debut in centerfield fol the Tigers, blasted out two hits a. did Hank Greenberg.
