Bettina And Conn | In Title Bout
 Next Wee Thursday
lspecial to The Democrat)

New York, July GA glance at the records of Melio Bettina, world light heavyweight champion, and Billy Conn, Pittsburgh challenger, who meet in a fifteen-round titular bout at Madison Square Garden one week from tonight, reveal Bettina as a far more potent puncher than Conn.
 Both lads began their boxing ca- reers at about the same time, Bet tina late in 1884, Conn early In 1895. Only two contests separate them in the number of times they have gone to the post. Bettina has engaged in 53 bouts as @ professional performer, Conn in 51.
 But the big difference comes in the number of knockout triumphs registered by each. Bettina has halted 2l of his foes. In the four teen matches he has had since the start of 1888, nine of his opponents were kayo victims. The other five were trounced on points. Three of the four men he has fought this year were hattened. Clever
 The Pittsburgh Irishman, on the other hand, cannot compare his knockout record with that Of the champions. Conn, a master boxer, has been content to win his battles on cleverness. He has always relied in the main on his skill as boxer rather than on his prowess as a puncher. As result, he has chalked up only seven knockout triumphs in his pro career. t
 It may be pointed out, of course, that Conns opposition has, as a rule, been more formidable than that en- countered by the current cham ,ion. His admirers may cite the fact that his opponents have included several former middleweight champions, such as Babe Risko, Teddy Yarosz. Vince Dundee, Fred Apostolic and others.
 But in Bettina's record are a num- Der of outstanding light heavy weights, such as Bob Goodwin, Joe Knight, Bud Mignault. Tiger Jack Fox And also included in the Bea- con, N. Y, battler's list are many heavyweights, among them Italo Coylonello, Joe Lipps, Buck Everett, Steve Carr, etc. All were halted by the belting Beaconite.

Though belting Bobby Cummings, a golden brownskin who has never fought in Waterbury is making his first appearance in a local ring to- night, he has plans for three Sights here which include opponents John- ny Dougwillo of Marlboro, Mass: Dick Turcotte and Irish Eddie Do. Ian, the latter being the big" fight that will call for the s. R. O. sign provided ..
 That Cummings gets by Dougwil- 10 tonight and Turcotte next week, the Frenchman having already out- pointed him.
 That, the Cummings -Dolan match can be made and will not "come a financial cropper" because of dis- agreement as to terms, etc.
 That Dolan and Turcotte do not meet first.
 Acid Test ,n,
 However, tonight Is the night that the clever, hard-punching New York negro gets his first acid test from Dougwillo who was floored, hit hard and often and yet had enough left to get off the floor and outpoint tough Joe Triano of Naugatuck by the proverbial "whisker". Cummings thinks Dougwillo will be e mild workout for him, though his secret ambition is to get at Turcotte whe got the nod over Cummings in New

more impossible for Rhoda to have
done so, unless she had suddenly
sprouted wings or borrowed a

hOusetop.
No, regardless of anything my
memory tried to assert, Rhoda was
out. She made her own contribu-
ton to the police in her own in
imitable way.
Captain Lancy," she said pertly,

life. Now that I've seen this one,

to Dune.
Good old Dune. I knew I'd never
find that perfume on him or any
other, either. Dune is a confirmed
addict to hot showers, followed by
cold. BY the time he gets through
with the bathroom there's not one
drop of even warm water left in the
boiler, and the strongest perfume
manufactured couldn't live on his

1 ever saw this one before, it didn't
make any impression on me-"
Josie was the next in line, and as
I bent over her, L knew just what
I would find. The refreshing odor
Of good soap and water is always
with Josie. Evanescent as that of
a flower, it still is noticeable. I got
my third surprise in what she said.
II think I'm like Bruce" her
voice was hesitant. 1T seem to re-

to Lancy's face.

chief quickly.

it's scarcely to be expected that
you should. think we've done very

persons saw it previously"

He was sitting in a large armchair

I would have completed the round.

my heart I hated the job.
I stepped UP to Alan and, bend
ing over, held the print before him.
I staggered and would have fallen
had I not had sufficient presence
Of mind to drop down upon the
wide arm of his chair. The pencil
fell from my nerveless fingers, and
he bent to pick it up.
I looked up and met Captain

He told me afterward that, the mo-
mert he saw the stricken express

! gle he was making to recall the
elusive memory. 1t was in vain.
II can't remember anything
else" he said decidedly. Il know
I've seen it, and that is all 1 do
know. I can't place when or where"
Lancy nodded approvingly. VERY
good, Orion. You've helped a bit
at that DR.. Rutherford, and you,
too, Barry, look at the print again
and see if you can recall any such
impression? Orton's recollection
may have improved your memory"
I couldn't decide whether his
words were sarcastic or not, but
obediently 1 went back to DR.. Paul
and Barry. Both looked longer and
more closely this time than they
had done previously, but both were
forced to admit that, as far as they
were concerned, the case was hope
less.
IT never lie on the beach," DR..
Paul said, land I don't imagine
anyone would notice such a small
thing as that break unless the print
was under their eyes for a long
period of time"
II think DR.. Rutherford's right"
Barry said. II have walked on the
beach a good deal, but when 1 sit
or lie dow. 7 C'----2y- 80 rug, SO
naturally I wouldn't notice any
thing Of that sort"
"All right, Miss Gordon, try DR..
Peake. Well hope his memory
works"
But it didn't, and I didn't get
trace of any perfume from his
hair. l knew I wouldn't. I'd stood
and sat near enough to him to be
sure that I would have recognized
it before, if he had been the bearer.
Another thing, too. To my mind it
was absolutely impossible for Neal
to have left us on the terrace, gone
around the house and cottages, and
come up the other side of the house
to meet me. It just couldn't be done
in that length of time, even if one
ran every step of the way and,
from my own experience, knew
that was impossible.
Rhoda sat next, and I put my
arms around her neck as I had done
around Coral. She didn't try to
jerk away as though I would bite
her. She looked closely at the print,
and as she did SO got good Whit

turned sick. actually thought that
I'd found that elusive odor. But it
was only for a fleeing second that
I thought that. The next moment
1 knew that, though it did bear a
decided resemblance, it was really
different. Yet there was a tinge of
the fragrance I remembered. I'd
leaned over Rhoda a thousand
times in the past. Why hadn't I
caught that faint spicy perfume be-
fore?
Then I remembered that Rhoda
changed her perfume as often as
she did her cosmetics, and that was
every time new one came on the
market. This was probably some
thing new she was trying out, but
the fright had actually turned nay
hands icy cold.

She jerked angrily away from me
and muttered something under her
breath. 1 paid no attention, but
placed the point of my pencil on
the break, and said in low voice:
"This is the break in the SOLE"

went to Bruce Orion. It wasn't
from the odor on his hair. That was
entirely different from the one I
had in mind. He looked casually at
first at the print. Then, to my sur
prise, he leaned closer and looked
again.
i've certainly seen that print
before" he announced.
At his words we all stared at
him. I stepped back and looked at
him critically. The print had been
shown merely for the purpose of
giving me an opportunity to get
near each person. That anyone
would recognize it was, am sure,
a great surprise to both Captain
Lancy and the chief.

the detective.

BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY FOLLOWS 'O7 MEMO
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON. April 22.--Twc years of experience in afpeasement . and Neville Chamberlain goes back a full generation to the musty files of the British Foreign Office and learns a lesson h2 foreign pol icy,
 The new Chamberlain attitude toward Germany, and his willing ness to play openly for balance ot power in Europe. is almost exactly the same as the policy first pre- scribed for Britain by the late and little advertised Sir Eyre Grove, then counsellor of the Foreign Of- flee.
 If you would understand the simple motives behind the British change of front in the present hour, go back to the Grove memorandum first drafted 32 years ago.
 For you have t on the word Of Lord Noel Buxton, who makes a business of studying foreign affairs, that Grove was the one who made it a tradition of the Foreign Office to stand up to Germany. Says Noel Buxton:
 "In his famous memorandum ot 1907, Grove asserted that Great Bri- tain was faced with perpetual de- mands from Germany; that when these demands were satisfied by concessions, the Germans declared that nothing now divided the in- terests of our two countries; only to produce after a short interval a new set of demands fa
 aIn Crowe's opinion, we should eventually be laced with demands that were absolutely unacceptable, unless we earned Germany's respect by firmer attitude, and ceased to concede alterations in the status quo .. :"
