Appointed to West Point from

missioned a second lieutenant Jof
infantry in 1883. Successive pro-
motions led to, the major gener-
alship in 1921, four years before

ed engagements from the Sitting

He was an uncle of Maj. Gen.
Wills H. Hale, commanding gener-
al of the Fourth Air Force.

ipine instructions, the Mexican
border troubles, action in Chi
ma and the World War.

He was graduated from the
United States Military Academy
at West Point IN 1883 as the
youngest member of his class, and
joined the Twelfth Infantry as a
second lieutenant, serving at
Fort Niagara, N. Y, until 1886.
Captured $50 Sioux
Later, while stationed at Fort
BENEFIT, S. D., he took part in the
Sioux Indian campaign in the
winter of 1880-91. Here he was
the central figure in notable
feat. He went out alone in the
frozen Bad Lands to hunt for the
band of Sitting Bull, which had
disappeared after fight follow
ing their ghost-dance and the
death of their medicine man. He
located the Sioux, said to have
numbered more than $50 men,

or, but the very feature of the
feat which made it most remark
able barred the award. He had
accomplished his mission without
the firing of a shot, and the reg

in any case where the medal IS
to be awarded.
In 1924 Knox College conferred
upon him the honorary degree
of Doctor of Laws. On July 10,
1925, his active military career,
which had covered forty-Six
years came to an end.
He married Elizabeth Smith in
1886. She died in 1906.

 "1ll fly you." Mcspadden volun- teered.

 War Damaged English Golf
 The amiable Englishman went on to explain that the war and it's casualties as one of It's minor results had done irreparable damage to English golf.
 The upshot is that we have no promising young fellows coming up at the moment" he said. Most of our chaps are over 30, many of them over 35, and the youngsters who would have been coming along are missing"

 Because, after all, although I wouldn't want you chaps to think I'm alibing," he said. T haven't reached my peak again-and I never had hopes of hitting the ball like your Nelson, Sneads and Hogans."

 Louis boxed 97 three and four round exhibitions while in the Army, something like 34O rounds. A super lative golfer-he has done 68-the Alabama born Negro played at every opportunity. He did five miles of road work each morning at West Baden, yet he boxed many rounds here before erasing the soreness and strain of training.
 You leave Louis with another iIm- precision. It is that way down deep he feels that he has no way of measuring his 1946 stamina follow ing flve-year layoff.
 It is for this reason no doubt that Louis makes it crystal clear that this time he hopes to do a quick job on Billy Conn. His chances here are enhanced by the fact that the last thing fighter loses is his wallop.

New York, May 2e-(UP)-suil- ing with all the bravado of cour- ageous man facing the executioner. British Open Champion Dick Burton sAllied forth today to tackle Byron Nelson with c vehement denial that he ever had belittled American golf- CTS or their scoring.
 "It's bloody wrong thing that they said about me and It also is bloody annoying" Burton explained aS he set sail for his 1S hole match play round with the inp1&cable Nell son at Charles River Country Club to be followed by the Goodall Round Robin Tournament at nearby Winged Foot.
 which is the British equivalent of saying 1t t'aint 50.
 Embarrassing Statements
 For they cabled from London 6 few months ago that the S8-year-old former R. A. F. flying officer had scoffed at American golf in a sim- liar fashion to the farmer seeing his first giraffe. The farmer held that there just wasn't any such ani- mal. Burton, they alleged from over the pond, took the same atti- tude toward the phenomenal scores being turned in by the American pros.
 "I'd be a bloody fine bloke to come over here after saying that, wouldn't sI?" Burton queried with deadpan solemnity after docking on the GripSholm. "Itis embarrassing, that's what 1t is."
 None of which will stop the an- gilar fellow with the plastered- down brown hair from trying to con- quer Lord Byron of the Nelsons. But away back in the hidden recessss of the Burton mind there escapes a ray of despair.
 T only have been out of the serv- ice since January and 1t takes q man 8 year to recapture his touch, both physically and mentally" Bur- ton explained. T was at one time the longest hitter in the isles but right now I'm not quite up to that.
 McSpaden Turned Down
 One of his early American friends and opponents with whom he first renewed aoquaintance was Harold (Jugl McSpaden. the lAEltern-jawed pro who flies all alone from tour nanlent to tournament in his own light plane.

Pompton Lakes, N. ,. May 2S. (NEA)-Joe Louis at g Is five years older than when Billy Conn pressed him through the greater part of 13 sizzling rounds, which was the last outing of any consequence for either principal in the Yankee Sta dium party of June 19.
 Louis appears considerably heavier than the 215 pounds he now weighs which is B more than the top figure at which he has squared off with an opponent. He expects to come in this trip at about 208
 Louis physical appearance has changed to a great extent. Gone is the beautiful contour that made him Q sculptor's model. In street clothes you notice only the owls. In trunks you get the larger hips, thighs and calves.
 Personally feel that can fight as well as did the last ttme," as- Serts the frank and honest Louis, but the personally" and the way he says it, makes you suspect that there may be some lingering doubt. As you chat with him, you gather that the champion senses he is a bit slower and realizes that Conn was faster, and he is not too positive regarding his stamina.
 Louis has looked rather frightful aa time or two in workouts, but his wind is good and his legs strong, and he never was a Fancy Dan in a gymnasium, anyway. He has fine sparring partners. Tall Al Hoosman would be something in the way of Q match for Conn or anybody else. Jimmy Bell took Q decision from Joe Baski in Washington not long ago. George Fitch looks like money in the bank against the Brown Bomber and Perk Daniels is pretty fair.
 Its just as well to get hit oc- casionally in training" smiles Louis, then when you get hit in the ring you aren't insulted and 1t has less effect"
 Louis contends he has no plan of battle.
