I denied her. And next Sunday
evening / am going to church.
Miss Grey. I never knew how
much I loved her until I lost her.
I wonder II you, or anyone can
tell me why I treated her so?
Men should be told more plainly
about their overbearing and I'M
fair ways, for their own good. II
they listen TO a warning voice,
they won't have to suffer when it's
too late.
I hurt the person l loved most
and although my heart Is broken
there is no way to heal 1t.
Oh. Miss Grey, even told her
I did not love her and there was
nothing she could do to make me
say I did. For over a year I re-
fused to show her any affection
and what makes me feel so help
less is the fact that I know she
died of a broken Marlborough
on by my awful ways.
Forgive me, Miss Grey, for
burdening you, but I thought I
might be of help to other men.
HEART BROKEN.
I am glad you wrote to me.
You must remember the old
saying Confession is good for
the soul" and in your case it
surely must be so.
OF course 1t is heartbreaking
to know there are so many mis-
takes we cannot undo-but there
is always hope and courage to
be had in the knowledge that
the Creator gave us minds to
improve II we but WILL. When
We throw up our hands and adj
nit we are failures and do moth
ing to prove we can be other
wise, then we indeed can as
sumo a true defeatist and heart
broken attitude.
But don't do II. OF course
you were wrong. OF course you
made mistakes that you would
give a time out of your life to
undo, but since you can't do that,
then do the next best thing.
Try not to make the same mis-
takes again and do the gener-
GUS thing when tempted TO do
the selfish one. That's about
all you can do now.

titude.
My wife passed on six months
ago. Before I lost her l had al
ways had my way-ignored all of
her wishes and saw to 1t that my
own were gratified. In plain
words my attitude was "I'll have
my own way. Yours doesn't mat
ter"
Long ago she used to get me
TO try to see her point Of view but
as long as / had my own way I
was merely bored with her pleas.
She tried to get me interested in
fixing UP our home which needed
1t badly, but I would always tell
her to keep her trap shut, that I'd
fix it when got good and ready.
This went on for years and l
went on having my own way. I
never took her anywhere, although
she loved shows. AS long as got
to go to lodge I figured that was
all that was necessary.
When she wanted to talk / would
shut her up and turn on the radio,
or read a paper or ignore her.
Once in a while l would break
down and take her and the chill
dren to a picnic (that was when
MY lodge gave the picnic) but
other than that she got to go no.
where.
Finally she got so she just
didn't talk but kept on working,
trying to keep up the place she
had begged me to repair and i'm
prove-kept on doing in her small
way things that I should have
been doing all through the years.
1 felt SNUG and contented and
very much the BIG BOSS of my
home because I had reduced her
to a Stage where she had ceased
to express herself.
Could go on with details of my
selfishness but l can't bear to. I
can see that hurt, far-away look
in her eyes and 1t will haunt me
forever.
1t is ironical, now that she Is
gone, to find myself doing the
things she begged me to do. I put
away little money each month,
I repair the places that need re-
pairing and even go to the shows

lers in the country as he bested the
National champion in the 120 yard
event. Despite the rain soaked track,
Digger stepped over the highs in 1879
to clip one-tenth OF a second off the
meet record set by Wolcott two years
ago. By turning in such a noteworthy
performance Eddie has set himself
up as the man to beat in the races in
California this weekend.
Wolcott is hailed as the American
hurdling champ and held the record
for the low hurdles at 1895. He now
is but q co-holder of the remarkable
time.-with Medfords' own Ed Dug

Ewell Wins Two
Sets Record in 22O

Norwood Ewell-Penn State flash
Won both the 100 I'd. and 220 I'd. dash
titles at the National Collegiates. He
ran the century in 90 seconds nosing
out Stanford's Clyde Jefry, who did
not defend his title in the furlong be-
cause Of a muscle injury. Ewell won
this race in 21.1. lettering the listed
American mark for 22O yards around
one turn made by Ralph Metcalfe in
1898.
The American sprint champion may
well be crowned this weekend as the
foremost dashmen vie for honors at
the track and field meet extravaganza
being held in California. Jeffery has
long been hailed on the west coast as
the outstanding Splinter in the country
as have Ewell and Ellebre in their re-
specUye sections. With three such
speedsters and record breakers in the
field California track followers are in
for g rare treat.

ing about in search of an opportunity
to show his ability. The ''clubs" are
on the march againl
Among our own population there is
one fiourishing at Butler Hall. There,
once a month, a boxing show is offered
by John Silver. This able sportsman
has secured the services of Baby"
Tiger, who was one time contender
for the Worlds featherweight crown,
and "Sonny" Cousens, a young man
who has handled many of the local
boys in the amateurs, as his promo
tiers.
As 1 sat there Thursday last and
watched Young Byron and Nal Small
wood and Jimmie Corbin and Jackie
Harris as they went through their
bouts, I couldn't help but think OF the
formidable records they left in the
amateurs. These boys, and many
more like them, love boxing and yearn
for the opportunity to show their fstic
talents. Again, / thought of the larger
crowds that viii undoubtedly be theirs
some day-if fans will take to boxing
again. I thought of John Silver who
despite opinions to the contrary had
the fortitude to believe in giving
youth a chance.
Yes-there was a crowd of some two
hundred on hand TO witness this second
show but there is promise Of making
Butler Hall too small TO hold the
fans for the next one. The match
makers are already busy getting their
card together for the July show. Get
behind them with your support, fistie
fans-let'S not discourage any future
champions who might be among US by
staying at home. These boys are fight
ing for chance at the thing they
love-help them with your support.
And remember If you can't take part
in q sport, be one anyway"

the second heavyweight ruler to DO
so Retirement would bring added
prestige to the busiest champion the
game has known but it would also stop
the flow of money which has filled the
Iouis' Golfers to an extent never
dreamed of in times such as these.
That's the real problem of retirement
for boxing is a business big bust
ness-and in such one rarely actuates
retirement Just when he is reaping the
rewards of his success.
