The husband, owner of 8 retail business of cosmetics and patent medicines in local super market, states he has been known as Smyle by his business associates and friends for 20 years and that his brothers, sisters and father have used that name.
 Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell today ordered Joseph H. Lezotte, local musician, to pay $25 weekly for the support of his wife, whom he is suing for divorce, and two children and $6 for rent follow ing a hearing on an alimony mo- ton presented by Mrs. Lezotte.
 The husband testified that his weekly earnings average $49 weekly and that he no longer has income from giving music lessons. He stated weekly payments to his wife already amount to approximately $3O.
 Albert Oliver of New York City, who was awarded compensation payments for an injury allegedly sustained while he was employed by the Koppel Photo Engraving Go, ap- peared in superior court on his own behalf today to defend the pay ments.

 The employe, who suffered from occupational dermatitis, which he claimed resulted from working near ammonium bi-chromate, told the court the finding Aaould be allowed to stand and the appeal should be dismissed.
 A judgment in accordance with instructions of the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford was en- tered by Superior Court Judge John A.

With Apologies to Long

There is a man in Department
eleven,
That is getting awfully spry,
One night he played Santa
and a tricycle. took his eye.
He started into wondering
Just how easy it would ride,
So upon the seat he got
And started out to glide.
He was doing pretty good
But did not know how to guide,
He succeeded in knocking over
the stove
And you should of seen his hide.

PITTSBURGH, July 13. (UP)-
FritZie Zivic, former welterWelght
champion and one OF the five fight
ing brothers, today apparently had
improved with age.
TIE Pittsburgher looked like any
thing but fighter approaching 80
years of age as he pummeled Jake
Lamotta of New York last night
to win a split decision in their l5-
round bout.
The referee, Ernie Sesto of Pitts
burgh, and one of the judges voted
in favor of the pug-nosed Fritzie
while the other judge gave the
Bronxite the nod. The United Press
score sheet gave Zivic eight rounds,
Lamotta five and called two even.
Zivic, who scaled Isl to Lamottas
157l2, came into the ring a to 5
underdog. But he peppered Jake
with sharp leftS throughout the
fight to reverse the decision the
New Yorker won over him a month
ago.
There were no knockdowns. The
popular PittSburgher took all thai
Lamotta, slugger, had to offer
and was in there carrying the fight
to his opponent at the final bell.
The crowd of 10000 gave Zivic n
tremendous ovation.

! q Run
Mill
By DAN MCGUIRE

SAN FRANCISCO, July l3 tUP)
Two SWedes ran through the
weeds at the Lakeside Country club
pursued not by a couple of Nor
wegians but by portly Charley
Hunter athletic director of the San
Francisco Olympic club, and most
of the local. sports writing fra
ternity.
When the smoke had cleared
away from 100000 words of Eng
lish and Swedish - internationally
angry pleading and cajoling =
Gunder Hagg, greatest distance
runner in history. had agreed to
run a mile instead of two miles at
kezar stadium next Saturday.
SEE DEFEAT
Sigried SteinWall, the great mans
trainer, held his head III his hands
at the announcement. assuring the
assemblage that Hagg undoubtedly
would get the pants beaten off him
by Gil Dodds, the bespectacled
divinity student from old Boston.
Hagg, his palate soothed by the
most luscious filet mignon these
eyes have seen for many moons,
asserted he would do his best
against Dodds but held only slight
hopes of going under 4:l0 for the
| four laps.
7 don't care if you take 15
minutes" joyfully shouted Charley
Hunter. I'VE have been under the
! impression you wanted to run the
mile here-and that's what its got
| to be. Remember the gate re-
/ ceiptSi'
All of this was relayed to Hagg
through the seven or eight Swedish
neWspapermen who are accompany
| ing him around the country.
REAL HERO
The real hero of the day was
Ernie Brandsten, Stanford SWIM
ming coach. Ernie is quiet, easy
going guy, but he really swung into
action at Hunters beheSt when 1t
| looked like Hagg had once and for
all made up his mind to run two
miles.
A native of Sweden, Ernie took
IldSS llllo lilN oIliS dai'o SoiiiNi Va
the room and explained the situa-
ton, emphasizing the point that
the army air forces benefit fund
would lose a lot of dollars if a
two miller were staged because San
Franciscans love to stay away from
two mile races.
The villain Of the melodrama was
far away in New York. We refer
TO Dan Ferris, secretary of the
Nnational A. A. u. Hagg prac-
tically came right out and said that
Ferris had asked him not to run a
mile until he returned to the east.
President William Humphrey of
the Olympic club. chewing his
finger-nails, telephoned Ferris to
ask what the heck was going on.
Ferris repeatedly said he'd told
Hagg to run any distance anytime.
Anyway, it ought to be a great
race. Dodds has done 4:075 and
that might be good enough to win
if Hagg really isn't ready
But a member of Hagg's en-
tourage whispered out of the corner
Of his mouth that Gunder the
wonder W2uld d 4 los or better.

Ry HARRY GRAYSON

NEW YORK, July 13-Had Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, Wahoo Sam CraW-
ford, Germany Schaeffer and other
greats of the pennant-winning De-
troit Tigers of 1907-8-0 had any
inkling that Bill Coughlin would
one day be honored with a scholar
ship established in his memory,
their ca aptain and third baseman
probably never would have lived it
down.
Certainly, there was nothing to
indicate in those days, as RoWdy
Bill Coughlin baited umpires, that
he would become an outstanding
character builder, although his sue
cess as a college coacn might have
been suspected.
Such was the imprint Coughlin
made during "a successive years OF
coaching at Lafayette, however,
that with his death a movement to
found scholarship in his memory
was started by students and greet
ed with unanimous approval by al
umni. AS the first step to raise
such a fund, the proceeds Of the
Lafayette-Lehigh game was turned
in. even the Lehigh players insist
ing that they pay. Committees of
prominent alumni and residents of
Easton formed to obtain the requir-
ed amount, the income of which is
to be used TO help a worthy boy
with baseball talent get an educa-
ton.
The first to contribute were for
mer players, many of them i'll the
service, but remembering a true
friend.

Workouts for
Big Mile Run,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13 up
- Gloomily predicting that his
reputation as the worlds greatest
distance runner was in jeopardy,
Gunder Hagg of Sweden today be-
gan workouts at the Lakeside Coun-
try club for his mile race Saturday
against Gil Dodds, Roston divinity
student.
Il am not yet in condition to
run a satisfactory mile" Hagg de-
clared. But I have been told that
the people of San Francisco are ex-
pecting me to run the mile and
that they may not support the meet
If I run two miles as I did in
Chicago and Los Angeles.
I will run the mile solely be-
cause I do not wish to see the
army air forces benefit fund ham
pered, although l know l am
jeopardizing my reputation as
runner"
Hagg's decision TO compete in the
four-lap event came only after two
hours of arguing with officials of
the San Francisco Olympic club,
which is sponsoring the meet.
The Swedish newspapermen who
accompanied him to America back
ed him up in his assertion that he
probably couldn't do better than a
4:10 mile They said that Dodds,
an interested spectator amidst all
the arguing, was in better condi-
ton and should be favored TO de-
feat Hagg.
Dodds just smiled and said he
was ready to face Hagg over any
distance.
Gerhard Rooth, Swedish news
paper correspondent from New
York, differed with his colleagues
in declaring:
IF Gunder doesn't run ADS or
better, my name isn't Gerhard
Rooth."
Hagg cooled off after RDotb
promised to introduce him ~ the
"prettiest Swedish girl in San
Francisco"
A new worlds mile record of
4:026 recently was set b. kfne
