Jamaica Jockeys Given Break.
The jockeys at Jamaica, including
Don Meade, Jimmy Gilbert and
others signed up right at the track,
where a special booth was erected.
Although most of the athletes
were considered highly eligible to be
invited by Uncle Sam to spend a
year as his guest, the professional
baseball men seemed less concerned
than any others, for most of the
major league stars are married. and
therefore probably would not be
among the first called for duty.

Brutal Record Wanted

BY JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, Oct II (NAN.AD.-
Having been found guilty OF a GER

sentenced to fight Joe Louis next
year. Billy Conn will repair to Bos-

q record
What the promoters want is a
nice, dangerous-looking record
bristling with knockouts and
TKO.'s As matters stand, they
doubt whether the public would pay
much to see William against Louis.
He has the reputation of being a
guy who would experience difficulty
punching his way through an open
door
So light is the fans esteem for
COINS smuggling power that most of
them would leave him alone inside
q paper bag for couple of hours
and feel perfectly sure of finding
him there when they returned. And
what kind of a reputation is that?
why doesn't he knock somebody
cold?" Mr. Michael Jacobs. the
deuce of boxing, inquired not long
ago of COINS manager, Johnny
Ray.
II will take it up With him. re-
piled MI Ray.
do So said Mr.. Jacobs.
HE tells me he has a great
punch" said Mr. Ray.

Conn Hopes to Show
Punch in Boston

That is the same thing he tells
me- said Mr.. Jacobs. DO you think
he is kidding USE"
Il hope not, said MI Ray fer
vently, and went off to breach the
matter to MI Conn CWncy Of this
savage hearsay wallop.
Mr.. Conn will launch his new
chain Of knockouts Che trusts at
the expense of Al Mccoy, the New
England veteran, when he meets
with Albert in Boston FRIDAY. I
hope somebody has told Mccoy
about the punch. Otherwise he may
not recognize it when he sees il.
Boston is very popular place
with the trade for starting anew
When Jack ShaTkey started anew
several years ago, with the idea Of
fighting Louis, he elected unknown
Winston for his debut and Boston
as the scene of the crime
The debutante waved at IN
known Winston, and Unknown
dumped to the floor, prepared to re-
main there until somebody came
with a dustpan.

Mr. Johnston is the author of a

Being less conservative than Mr..
Johnston, I would say it is COM

is pleasant to know that Mr.. John

If he fails to stop Mccoy. Mr..

And had she not known the condi-
ton of the road, she would have
backed into it.
She threw the shovel into
snoWbank. threw the gloves after
it, and dragged her aching body
back into the house.
Christine was once more asleep
and the fire was down to embers
in the fireplace. She had to use TWO
Of her precious logs to build the
fire up again. Could it have been
only last night that she was plan
ming to join Nicly and Bill and
Ellen somewhere for supper 1t this
hour?
If she 6ozed and kept her mind
on the Importance Of waking to
watch the fire, she could keep it
going until the morrow. and hope
with a prayer-that someone
would pass the house and give her
a ride into the village.
She bent over Chris and listened
to he: breathing. 1t was easier
now. 1t would be safe to leave her
in the morning if SHE could leave
the house warm.
Dying for sleep. she put on her
coat again and drryged three OF
the wooden chairs through the door
and out into the dark. where she
would not disturb Chris. There
she broke them apart. stamping
on them, hammerirg them apart
with strength that must have
come from her soul. Her body felt
incapable of breaking a match
stick.
With the fuel problem tempo
rarily settled. she fell instantly
into a death-like sleep.
When she woke, Christine said,
There was a snow plough mere

With a groan as she tried to
move her stiffened muscles, F'a-

She was not going to drive IN

swcring buzz when she turned on
the ignition. The battery was =.

Huddled miserably and furiously
over the wheel, she said to herself.

And then she was aware that she

Chris subsidized. awed into silence
by the outbreak Fabienna had been
unable to control. She watched the
other girl for long time. Fabienne
sat with her head in her hands, lost
in rorose conjecture that pro-
duced no practical ideas.
After a little while. she got up
and took the flashliaht off the man

It looked more like a junk room

was fishing tackle and some ole
rubber boots thrown down in
heap of rope in one corner. An(
there, as if wishing had made il

She pulled the rubber boots Out
and put the shovel under her arm
and went back into the living room
Chris watched her silently, while
she pinned up her skirts anc
