Then, last fall, Pollard was ready
to 60 back to the racing wars and
Seabiscait was taken to Tanforan to
resume training. They worked
hard, but their first two races at
Santa Anita were disappointing. So
disappointing, in fact, that onIook-
ers suggested that the horse be re-
turned to the pasture and that Pol

The recent San Antonio handicap

that single track on which he trav-
els so fearsomely. That was in
the time when to be matched with
him meant certain destruction.
Men took matches with him for
the money alone-and then almost
Immediately began to regret their
greed. There was something mys-
FERROUS and inscrutable and terrible
about his very appearance. He
was, it seemed, greater than any
of the fighters who had gone before
him. He was invincible and the ut
ter lack of emotion that he showed
made him terrifying. Most Of his
fights were won before he laid a
glove on his opponent. The psyche
logical advantage was tremendous.
Schmeling, in their first fight,
demonstrated that Louis had no de-
tense against cunningly launched
right hand and knocked him out.
Louis came back from that knock
out better fighter because it fired
taught him a valuable lesson. He
was magnificent fighter the night
he knocked out Jim Braddock to win
the title and again the night he took
his revenge on Schmeling.
The Scene Changes
But the scene in which he moves
has been changed. None Of those
pressing closer about him now is
capable of beating him-but they
know that he can be beaten. They
know that in his last two fights he
was hit often enough to have been
knocked out but actually didn't
come even close to a knockout be-
cause neither Bob Pastor nor Godoy
can punch.
Naturally, this is stimulating to
the young heavyweights around the
country. Two years or so ago there
was no real inducement to any
young heavyweight, beginning to
throw his punches in some remote
corner, to hit the trail for a title
match because there was DOGGY
man at the end of the trail. Now
every young heavyweight is rushing
to join the circle that has been
formed about the champion.
Rugged and Wiling
The boys are coming out of the
bushes-out Of the shops and off the
docks and down of the trucks and
out Of the jungles. The old lure is
there again-the chance not only to
grab some money to stay the limit,
perhaps-but to beat Louis and win
the title.

citing action. Louis. At -, il rugged

this selfish woman who lived with
Paul only two years, never made
him a home or showed him any
real affection, and doesn't need the
money? OF course we want the boys
to be well-schooled, to 60 to col
lege, and yet that ridiculous So, 400
must be taken out of our income
every year for a woman who
means nothing to either of us.
They Must Pay the Piper.
when we remarked and made
this arrangement, we felt that
Maude would marry again, but she
shows no disposition to do so, and
as she is beginning her forties she
probably will not. I don't know
what we can do about it, but it
does seem that we should do some
thing"
My dear Mary: There is nothing
you can do about it except pay the
piper, and thank God that the mis-
take you made wasn't of a more
serious nature and isn't going to
cost you even more. Actually hum
dreds of thousands of families lost
all their hard-saved capital eight or
ten years ago, through speculation
or unfortunate investments, and
they have to pay the piper. Mil
lions pay the piper with chronic in
digestion and headache, because
they WOULD eat and drink indis-
creetly. An innocent small girl
pays the piper because her mother
would take her driving in a bitter
wind, and the mastoid operation
that followed a head cold cost her
her hearing.
Unhappy and unsuccessful lives
are all paying the piper; paying him
for parental stupidities, for bad
home influences, for lack of guild
ance or intelligence or grace Slums
and drunkenness and poverty and
illness are all preventable, and
while we let them exist someone is
going to pay the piper for each
and every one. War is the cruelest
and stupidest mistake human be-
ings make, and how we pay for it,
and how our children's children will
pay for it someday!
So stop worrying about the money
Paul has to pay Maude. You and
he both acted like undisciplined chill
dren when hard times came; you
didn't stick to him as wife should,
and the discovery that you did love
each other, after the quarrel, is
what you are paying for. Forget
Maude; forget the details; only say
to yourself that you won't make that
mistake again, and will try to pre-
pare your boys for marriage along
better lines than your own were.
See that they know fine girls, and
are ready to assume the RESPONSE
bilities of life courageously and
wisely, and you'll more than make
up for the errors in your own life,
expensive as they seem.
Mary Should BE Grateful.
When your worst trouble Is
money, you have much for which
to thank God. A cruel or drinking
husband, crippled child, circum-
stances that separate you from
those who love and need you, phys
zeal suffering from some chronic dis
order. grinding poverty. quarrel
some atmospheres-these are real
troubles.

Same Old Plot.
But Seabiscuit
|MOdernizes 1t
BY ROBERT McSHANE

released By Western Newspaper Union.)
y EADERS of pulp magazine fic-
~ ton will recognize the plot.
It's a story Of a racehorse and q
jockey. Both of them were said to
be through, all washed up. They
had been at the top of the heap but
time had taken its toll and both were
spoken Of in the past tense.
Then came the last desperate e.
fort. The big race. The one the
horse had lost by . nose the two
previous years. This time fortune
smiled and the valiant pair was VIC
torious. The horse and jockey are
again topnotchers in the struggle for
turfdom's gold and glory.
You've doubtlessly recognized the
main characters by now. They're
Seabiscuit and his jockey, Johnny
Pollard. The latest chapter in their
combined careers was written at
California's Santa Anita racetrack
recently when the Biscuit won the
100000 handicap and established
himself as the worlds all-time lead
ing money winner.
1t wasn't so very long ago that the
end Of the glory road seemed lust
ahead for both the Biscuit and John
ny Pollard. Their comebacks are
closely related. Two years ago Pol
lard was rated one Of the top riders
Of the country. He rode Seabiscuit
to many of his early triumphs.

unlike the Federal Housing Admin
istration or other governmental cor
porations coming within the pur-
view of the Burr case: that the
funds sought to be attached are not
those of the defendant and cam
not become his property until &C

TrestIe Warned
|Of 75-MHe Limit

If District motorists wish to keep
using the temporary bypass trestle
over Rock Greek at MasSachusett
avenue NV. while the new bridge
there is under construction, they
must abide by the 15-mile speed
limit over the trestle, officials
warned yesterday.
Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, District
director of highways, said that so
far police had been unable to OBJ
tain motorist compliance with the
15-mile rule.
"The temporary trestle is perfect
" safe and we have allowed an extra
margin of safety" said Capt. White
hurst, "but as an assurance against
accident, including the possibility
that some car may skid on a wet
pavement, the 15-mile speed limit
must be observed.
IF the motorists will not abide by
this rule or if the police cannot en-
force compliance, then, as a mat
ter of precaution, it will become
necessary for me to ask the Com
missioners to ban any traffic move
ment over the temporary trestle. I
hope this will not be necessary"
Extra police precautions are ex-
pected to be taken beginning tomor-
raw to enforce the speed regulation.
