these spokesmen recalled. That
was the night Joe belted out
Roy Lazar in the Chicago sta

That night word was re-
ceived in the Louis camp that
Razor Phil Harris was in the
building and was supposed 10
slash Louis. But nothing hap
pened.
However. after that those
surrounding the champion were
more than ordinarily careful,

bellies NICKNAME

Owner Abel didn't prove TO
be as good a traveller as his
horse. which is Cramps Image,
hero of last Saturdays CheSa-
peake in Maryland.
Perhaps the answer 10 that is
that while the horse ate hay on
the trip here from Baltimore,
owner Abel fortified himself
with frequent beakers of the
case of beer he had thought
fully brought aboard.
You never would have guessed
how owner Abel came by the
nickname Whitley If you had
seen him stumble out of that
car. He was coal black from
head to foot and groggy, but
game and cocky withal.
Here I am and here's your
Derby winner" he announced.
You prob a b ~ know how
Cramps Image got his name. II
YOU don't. it's because Owner
Breeder-Trainer Abel insists he
looks more like his grandpappy
than any other of his grand
pappys many progeny. HIS
grandpappy being an old gent
named Man OWar.

An A. A. F. Headquarters, Eng

the lone wolves of the Air Force.
They carry no guns for their pro-
lection, and when attacked their
only means Of escape is their wits
and their speed. Comparatively lit

Yet they are the eyes Of the Army
its scouts and spies.
Before came to this Photo Recon.
Nuisance Group and saw what It
was doing to pave the way for the
big push, I thought that most of
the aerial snapshooters' work was
taking photographs of the damage
done by our planes. I did not realize
thta they are largely responsible
not only for the targets which are
picked for our bombers to hit but
also for our bombers finding those
targets.
They not only obtain the data
from ahi3h maps can be drawn but
they also carry on a system Of
espionage so effective that 1t sup
plies nearly all our information on
what is going on behind the enemy's
lines. The records which they bring
back with them on films are stories
of enemy concentrations and move
ments, of new Notifications and gun
emplacements. They are tales of
the loading of transports and troop
ships, and the sailing of conveys. In
