Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER Maxie Is Ageless at 32 PEAKING of POEIYS By GEORGE A. BARCLAY heavyweight championship fight with Joe Louis, Max .Schmeling gave Harry Thomas an artistic licking and demonstrated that hell be just as hard for Joe as he was before. He knocked the Thomas down seven times and was awarded the decision in the eighth round. It cant be denied that Thomas was subnormal competition. He is one of those free swingers who starts a haymaker from the floor and finishes it six inches from his opponents jaw. But hed never been knocked out before. Max showed that his right is still lethal despite the long layoff since he stopped Louis in the summer of 1936. Max seems ageless. At thirty-twhis legs and body are smooth and rippling and as tidy looking as ever. This continued brilliance is a testimonial to his training methods. Like most foreign fighters of recent years, he stresses roadwork and other outdoor conditioning more than gymnasium work. Moreover, he smartly conserves his energy during a fight. By wasting few punches, making every one count to the utmost, he fights less in fifteen rounds than the average battler does in six. in Tough Spot by Press Agenting De CORREVONT is on spot. Bill, as you know, has been headline news throughout the sports pages of the land in recent months at an age when most lads would be thrilled to see their names in the school paper. As star halfback of the Austin high school team of Chicago, national champions by virtue of their re cent victory over Jackson, Tenn., he has been the most publicized prep gridiron star since Red Grange. Nearly every large university and college in the country hopes Bill De Correvont will enter its classic gates next autumn. But when he does go to college, hell have to live up to all his adg vance or else. Thats why hes 4 on the spot. Here are a few reasons why most coaches' would give their right eye to have Bill on their squad: He scored 210 points for Austin during the 1937 football season. He was the key factor in enabling his team to pile up 364 points. press-agentin- There are no new laws of Golf Dream Comes True When six-ye- ar 20-fo- ot ar Bill is quite a baseball player. He can round the bases in 13.6 seconds and has had a batting average for the past four years of .400. Thousands of high school athletes throughout the country would probably like to change places with Bill. But if they knew what hes going to be up against, maybe theyd change their minds. Bill has a tough assignment. Knows How to Take It But Bill has demonstrated that he knows how to take it, and so his spot may not be so tough after all. Every time he played last fall, they expected more of him than the time before. And on every occasion he came through. The biggest test was the game that decided the championship of Chicago. It was played in Soldier Field between Austin, representing the public high schools, and St. Leo, representing the parochial schools. Well, Austin won, 26 to 0. Bill was the hero. He made three touchdowns, playing throughout with a painfully bruised knee. lie was happy after that game, all right. Only one thing bothered him. His mother had to watch the game from behind a pillar high in the stands. She had been invited to sit in a box as the guest of Mayor Kelly. When she got to the stadium, she approached the reserved gate.

Against a strong and rugged team he scored the winning touchdown. Now Bill is receiving feelers from scores of colleges, chances to talk on the radio, go to Hollywood and what not. You can envy Bill De Correvont or not as you please. Remember hes on the spot but remember, also, that he knows how to take it when the going is tough.

M Great Britains mid - Mediterranean base, is an island of palaces and churches, and the governor of Malta is probably more interestingly housed than any other colonial administrator. In Valletta he has, though it is now mainly used for official purposes, the massive Palace of the Grand Masters, with its magnificent state apartments, its armory with one of the finest collections of armor in the world, and its tapestry chamber with a superb set of Gobelin tapestries. These were made for that very room at the end of the Seventeenth century by order of the Spanish Grand Master Perellos and they are as well preserved in coloring and texture as if they had been completed yesterday. The throne room served as the original chapter hall of the British Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, and is adorned with a contemporary frieze depicting various incidents in the siege of Malta. Adjoining one side of the palace is the library, the last building of importance to be erected in Malta by the order and containing a notable collection of manuscripts, books, charts, deeds, and armorial bindings connected with the order. The archives of the knights, dating back to the period of their rule in Rhodes, which Bonaparte had not time to remove, are housed in another of the departments of the government. Except in the hot summer months, the governor usually resides in the Palace of San Antonio, between Valletta and Notabile, whose gardens, open to the public, are celebrated. The summer residence is the lordly feudal castle of the Sixteenth century that dominates the southerp end of the island and was built by the splendor-lovin- g Verdala, the only one of Maltas grand masters who was at the same time a cardinal of the Roman church. This moated fortress is surrounded by the Boschetto gardens, containing the sole wood in these islands so bare of trees. Auberges of the Knights. The Knights of the Seven Languages, or nations (later eight), into which the order was divided, were lodged in their several auberges, or hostels. These auberges, magnificent buildings for the most part retaining their original, features unimpaired, are still in use. That of Italy now is the museum; that of Castile, the finest of all, serves as naval and military headquarters; that of Auvergne houses the courts of justice; that of Provence, with its magnificent dining room, the Union club. The division into Langues, so characteristic of this international Order, is manifest also in the sumptuous of St. John in Valletta, among whose principal features are the richly decorated chapels set apart for each of the Orders component nations. What with these, and its tombs of the grand masters, its heraldic paving stones of members of the order, and its by uieairiSMS notgiven Gobelms raId MasterPerellos, lhlS BrutsseIs bUt masterpies from factry someSt.woven John s is by Rubens, one of the most brilliant churches in Christendom. Beautifully crowning a rocky scarp that rises picturesquely almost in the middle of the island, the small fortified burgh called Mdina in Maltese is one of the most unspoiled of all medieval and Renaissance towns. It also is known by its other names of Notabile, or Citta Vecchia, because King Alfonso of Aragon called it the most notable jewel in his crown.

Nobility of Malta. Malta has its own nobility, recognized by the Court of St. James, with an official precedence granted by the Maltese government and its own committee of privileges. There are 25 of these Maltese peerages, most of them feudal titles granted by the grand masters, but one of them goes back to the Fourteenth century. The present holder of this venerable title and the premier noble of Malta is the Most Noble Mary Inguanez, baroness in her own right of and Bukana. This lady resides in an ancient and beautiful palace in Notabile. The Baroness Inguanez represents, among many other families, the ancient Maltese clan of Sceberras, which once owned the promontory on which Grand Master La Valette built the city of Valletta. The head of the Sceberras family at that time, so tradition has it, generously gave the land on which the grand masters palace was erected, to be held by the grand masters on a perpetual leasehold for the annual payment of five grains of wheat and the offering of a glass of water from the palace well. The water was to be offered to the head of the Sceberras family by the grand master himself in the hall of the grand council, now the throne room, or Hall of St. Michael and St. George. It is a peculiarity of the Maltese titles that, although they include the ranks of marquis, count, and baron, there is no distinction in seniority between the ranks, precedence being determined solely by the date of creation. Some of the titles are sonorous in the extreme, as examples will show: marquis of St. George, Marquis Testaferrata Olivier, baron of Ghariexem and Tabia, baron of Benuarrat, marquis of Gni-e- n count of Ghain Diar-il-Bni- et Tuf-fieh- a.

HOTEL BEN LOMOND But the islands can produce only a fraction of their annual consumption of cereals, and much has to be imported from outside. Among the most typical of the modern survivals from the era of the knights are the underground granaries in the open space between Valletta and Floriana. These are sealed with round stone lids and still are used for conserving the islands stocks of imported grain.
