Miss Nevins hid the ring in her
cabin she has a reason for it. Why

romance where there had been SO

secrets before this throng. Nina

TARTAN BROWN OUT FOR NEW
RECORD

Those runners, who plod out those
long tedious miles in marathons, are
at it again. Last weekend there was
held the first of the so-called tune-up
races, a mere 20-mile affair, which
was won by Les Pawson, he of Paw
tucket, r. l., who, of the American
marathoners, made the first assault
on Johnny Miles record, some few
years ago. Yes-Pawson was the win
ner but the real interest in that race
was one who didn't even finish. WAY
back in the crowd, far from the lead
ers and the finish line, was runner
who was finding it extremely hard to
keep up the exacting pace set by those
up front. Then too, it was a very cold
day, the temperature staying we'll nigh
30 degrees all the while they were run
ming. Because of these things, "Tar-
Fan" Brown, he of the Indian extrac-
ton from down Rhode Island way, was
forced to drop out of the road race.
Well, as could be expected, many were
they who thought this an indication
that he was not to be considered as a
serious threat in the coming BAA
Marathon, come April 10. However,
there were those who were not for
getting that he, it is, holds the present
record for the 26 miles, 1856 yards at
2:28 and a fraction. Quite naturally
"Tarzan was asked about his condi-
ton and what he thought he would
do in the coming long distant run
whereupon he replied that he not only
intends to win but he hopes to set a
new record somewhere around the time
of 2:26, which, if done, will be some
time for such gruelling run. Good
luck to him-we'll lineup along the
way to cheer him along as he makes
his attempt.

BROWN BOMBER LIKELY TO Be CHAMP FOR YEARS

LOUIS TO GET PAYCHECK EARLY
There's to be another one Of those
assaults on the king of pugilism's
crown, come Friday night, but as has
been the result in many similar in
stances, the announcer will raise his
voice above the roar of the crowd and
repeat those words closely associated
with all consistent winners he win
nah-and still champeen-Jo Louis"
Paycheck has set up a rather enviable
record out through the middle west
but he didn't make it by defeating the
likes of the king of fstiana. The
best the MIA. could do for him in
regard to the all important matter of
rating was to place his name in the
number six spot. It's amusing to hear
some of the so-called experts trying to
call Louis number. They figure that
the seemingly impossible can and will
happen any time now, especially after
the champs disdainful showing
against Godoy. But somehow or an
other, although I do not make any
overtures at being an expert, it ap-
pears as though Louis will rule the
heavyweights for some years to come
yet. Of course, we all realize that the
steady march of time will some day
catch up with our idol and that some
young hopeful will undoubtedly smack
him from under his crown, but that
day does seem a good distance off in
view of the facts that Louis is good
clean living man and keeps actively
engaged defending his laurels. And
those are real assets of a true cham
pion. AS long as there is no greater
threat to his diadem than has already
been shown, Louis will probably go on
fighting indefinitely, and why not?
Boxing is business and the premiums
on outstanding talent are high AS
long as Louis can stay in there and
collect such high rewards for so little
effort-for the Baer's and the Galen-
to's really have no right to be in the
same ring with him-and not bring
any disgrace on the game he is repre-
senting, he should, for after all, Sc
curity can mean life. But all that is
in the future-for the present, this
column feels that Louis will get Pay
chek early-and that goes literally as
well as figuratively.

CHAMPIONS BY ASSERTION
SHOULD END IN BASKETBALL

A friend of the column, manager
of a fast-stepping basketball team
over Cambridge way, was relating, the
other day, how some of our teams be-
come claimants to the coveted Greater
Boston crown. He pointed out how
his team had been trying to arrange
game with the present champs, by
assertion, but were continuously re-
fused. 1t is pity that teams in this
section are allowed to crown them
sevles, but there SCENE to be little
else to do. Possibly a good way of
browning true winner would be to
have championship tournament held
at the close of the season. Surely such
a method would put an end to Cham
pions by Assertion. Looking back
through the years, there was a time
when just such a basketball festival
was held but the public, which has to
make such things work, didn't take to
the idea so well and as a consequence
the promoters were forced to abandon
it. However, it does seem as though
the idea has chances of succeeding in
view of the fact that each of the
several teams, in this locale, have a
distinct following of their own. 1t
would be worth somebody's try, at
least.

course These elimination contests
