 IRAMPLED TO DEATH

ter, his boots still on his feet, the shimmerign silk jacket on his chest.
 Worn and weary by his months of straining against w. L. Taylor in the closing days of the past year for the jockey championship, Dew had taken 8 months vacation with his parents in Sac City, Ia. He opened his 1941 campaign at Golden Gate in Oakland on Saturday.
 Yesterday he flew to Agua Cali ente, but for pleasure instead of bus mess. He went to the Mexican track to accept diamond wrist watch, emblematic of his new champion ship. Just to give some 15,000 spec tators a chance to see him in the sanddle, he agreed to ride a few horses, too. He brought home Adams Pride in second position in the first event, then went out again on a five-year-old mare named Bosca in the Sixth-an hour or before he was to receive his watch.
 Bosca was cheap thing-a $700 claimer in a $500 race-but because the champ was up, her price was around Al. She ran fifth to the final turn when her rider decided to bid. He shook her and for one or two strides she responded; then, something snapped inside her and she collapsed from a sudden hem orrhage. Dew tried to keep her up, but she was dead before she hit the track.
 Dew was thrown heavily. Two horses tumbled over him and his dead steed. When few of the 15,000 spectators picked him up, his body was limp and his face was smeared with blood. In the track hospital, he revived. For two hours he was con- scious and the doctors believed his injuries were not as serious as they had appeared. Then he began to sink and an ambulance started him for San Diego. Dew died en route. Among his other injuries was a fractured skull.
 He won the 1940 championships with 287 victories, one more than Taylor's string. He rode more than 1900 horses in all parts of the na- tion and his ultimate triumph was considered sensational because Dew had been around the major tracks less than two years.
 His parents in Sac City said his body would be returned home for burial.

Joe Speaks Out
BY MABE K0UNTZE

It's time we sportswriters erased a
lot of sappy impressions about worlds
heavyweight champion Joe Louis.
Up until recent date, the gist of the
Joe Louis mental mutterings was, ac-
cording to Hearst publications, II guess
[ win" and, 81 guess ah had another
lucky night"
So, for one long time, we've been led
to believe that the Brown Bomber was
so feeble minded that a compound COM
pick sentence would cause a short cir
cult in his brain and blow out all the
fuses. Louis couldn't think, said the
super ayran writers. Louis had no
imagination they contended I sup
pose they were getting around to the
theory that Louis hadn't any soul.
And now, Joe has gone and spoiled
everything.
Louis has been speaking out over the
