Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Speaking of Sports Yankee Problem or not yHETHER career in Courage? Tony Showed Plenty In Louis Brawl ' By ROBERT McSHANE DONDEROUS Tony Galento, the beer barrel who walks like a man, had his big day recently and made the most he could of it. Though Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis carried too many guns for Tony, the Orange, N. J., tavern keeper gave everything he had, earning the respect of all who witnessed the fight. Gone was the buffoonery and clowning which characterized him during training camp days and in its place was a grim ferocity and singleness of purpose. He wanted a knockout and wanted it in a hurry. Hit ambition wasnt realized, but Tony can go back to his tap room and tell his customers, for years to come, of the time he had the devastating Brown Bomber on the canvas, looking up at him. Not many men who have fought Louis can tell that interesting a story. The dusky heavyweight champ likes to earn his wages in a hurry. And has been very successful in do- - JOE LOUIS World Champion ing just that. Though his record is a familiar one, a recapitulation may salve the injured feelings of Galentos supporters. Louis has been boxing since 1934. In four and years he has engaged in 43 fights, winning 43 and of those fights losing one. Thirty-si- x have been won by knockouts and six by decisions. His one defeat was suffered at the hands of Max Schmeling, who, in one of ringdoms most surprising upsets, . knocked Louis out in the twelfth round. This surprising record is further d knockenhanced by nine d outs. His victims included Jack Kracken, Stanley Poreda, Biff Bennett, King Levinsky, Charlie Eddie Simms, Max Retzlaff, Schmeling, Jack Roper and John Henry Lewis. Galento didnt die in the dressing room. In other words, his courage didnt desert him before he climbed into the ring. His bravery cannot be questioned. When Referee Arthur Donovan stopped the fight in y the fourth round, Tony was staggering on his stumpy legs, one-ha- lf one-roun- one-roun- roly-pol- half-blind- ed by his own blood. To continue would' have been suicide. Soon the war drums of publicity will start all over again. Some other white hope will be built up high enough to be considered a cham- But pionship threat. publicity wont be of much help to the threat when hes roped in the same small enclosure with the invincible Brown Bomber from down Alabama way. high-power- Two New Records THE hard-hittin- g cast New York a still blacker cloak of despair over the seven other teams of the American league recently when they established two new records in a double-headplayed with the Philadelphia Athletics. The Yanks pounded out eight home runs as they won the first game 23 to 2. The batting spree continued in the second game, with five homers being chalked up for the world champions; who won the game 10 to 0. Eight Yankee homers in the first game broke the mark of seven which was established in 1886, and which has stood since that time, having been tied five times. The five circuit clouts in the second game broke the major league record for the most home runs in two consecutive games, which the Yankees of 1936 had set at 11. total bases on their Fifty-thre- e 27 hits in the first game broke the Yankees own record of 50, set in 1932. This fell two short of the National league high, set by Cincinnati in 1893. er Lou Comments Gehrigs the major leagues draws to an end this year depends largely on officials of the New York Yankees. Lous playing career is behind him for all time. The most durable ball player who ever lived is suffering from chronic infantile paralysis, a foe before which even the Iron Mans spirit was forced to bend. It is typical of Gehrig that he refuses to be a part of the wave of sympathy which is engulfing fans all over the nation. He wants no sympathy. Rather, he wants a chance to make use of the courage and determination which carried him through 2,130 consecutive games in 15 seasons. In brief, he would like to stay in the game, and would be perfectly happy if he could remain with the Yankees in some capacity or other. He helped make the Yankees the worlds greatest ball club, and would naturally like to remain with that organization. Of grave importance to him was the Mayo clinic report, which ended: He could, however, continue in some executive capacity. He cannot take part in batting practice, or chase balls in the outfield. He must conserve his muscular energy and is limited to the ordinary types of exercise. At present he is serving as field captain of the Yankees, where his duties are of an extremely light nature. He merely puts on his uniform daily and presents the Yank batting order to the umpire just before the game starts. What the Yankees will figure out for him to do next year is an unanswered question. It has been suggested that he be named manager of a Yank farm club. However, it would be almost impossible to appoint a sick man to that position. And ( likely he wouldnt want the job. The extent of his recovery will quite possibly determine the Yankees future courses of action. Lou looks as healthy as ever, outwardly showing no signs of the disease.

"Noises in the Night99 Hello everybody: came a time when Frank Barry wasnt a coward and this is what happened! had to prove he is Albion, Mich. He lives out in the country with his wife and at night the place gets sort of lonely. That would be all right as far as Frank was concerned, but Frank says that his wife is somewhat nervous. On top of that, Franks wife is a light sleeper. And what with one thing or another, she was beginning to suspect that Frank had a yellow streak in him about a yard wide. Frank didnt feel that way about it. With him it was just a case of wanting to sleep at night. Ill let him tell you about the trouble in his own words. Every time a mouse would scamper across the floor, says Frank, my wife would poke me in the ribs and whisNot being per, Frank Frank! Wake up! I hear noises! Franks address of a nervous nature myself, it was hard to wake me up. When I finally did awaken to hear a mouse playing about the room, I would mumble, Its only a mouse, and fall asleep again. It was just plain sleepiness on Franks part but his wife began to believe Frank was afraid to go down and take a chance on meeting up with a burglar. She never said so, but Frank could tell from the way she looked at him at times. And Frank, on the other hand, began wishing a burglar would bust into the house, just so he could go down and show wifie that he wasnt afraid. Wife Hears a Noise in the Cellar. Well, says Frank, one night the opportunity came, and now my hair is gray. That night was October 25, 1922. Frank sort of had burglars on his mind that night. That day he had picked a lot of apples and vegetables and stored them in the cellar. He had left the outside cellar door open. That night, just as he was drifting off to sleep he heard a crash and felt his wifes elbow in his ribs. Frank, she whispered, did you hear that? Frank had heard it. It was no mouse this time. A box had fallen down in the bellar! And then Frank remembered that open cellar door. Here were his burglars! And then, says Frank, I began to realize that I was scared to death. The cold shivers were running down Franks back, but he didnt tell his wife. As I lay there debating whether I should be a live coward or a dead hero, he says, my wife said, Did you hear me, E All-St- ar Wellington, New Zealand, steeplechase.

Rule Changes very important changes made in the rules of n football, according to Stephen Epler, originator of the game, who has worked tirelessly to encourage its development and improve its rules. One of the regulations calls for d a termination of games. If, at the end of the first half, there is a margin of 45 points between two squads, the game will be stopped much the same as a technical knockout is recorded in boxing. Should a margin of 45 points develop any time in the second half the contest also will be halted. A second change is concerned with football equipment. The new rule calls for padding on the outside of any hard material which may be used for protective covering. Present equipment is designed for the benefit of the wearer. Now pads must also protect the opponent. The remaining change is optional. Schools where youngsters are engaged in the game will be permitted to use a smaller ball. n football has been steadily growing in popularity. It is especially popular in smaller high schools throughout the nation,' and has been adopted widely as a college ' intramural sport.

Frank, clinging to the Thing, was carried up the cellar stairs. Frank? If you didnt something must be the matter with you. And there was something the matter with me. I was scared. But Frank knew that if he showed the white feather now, his wife would remember it the rest of her life. He 'slipped out of bed and drew on his pants and 'socks. He left his shoes off because he didnt want to make any noise, and he took no light because a light would only make him a better target for robbers guns. He picked up his own revolver and groped his way down stairs. Down in the cellar he could hear boxes moving and apples rolling around. He locked the inside door so the burglars couldnt get into the house. Then he crept outside, down the cellar steps and into the cellar. Frank Hears an Inhuman Sound. By that time, says Frank, my fear had left me. If a robber shot at me, the flash of his gun would show me where to shoot. I had as good a chance as he. But Franks fear of burglars had only moved out to make room for a greater fear the horrible fear of the unknown. It was deathly still in that cellar. Frank listened breathlessly, intently. , The stillness," he says, seemed to grow even more silent, and the suspense increased. Then, all of a sudden I heard a strange, sound a sound that I knew came from nothing human. My God, what could it be? I didnt have long to ponder that question In a split second the Thing was on me, sweeping me off my feet. Frank had arrived at that cellar door ready to fight burglars, but he wasnt prepared to meet up with something 'that wasnt human. He fell forward across the Thing, and clutched at it in panic. The Thing was immense a veritable monster. It dashed up the cellar steps and Frank, still clinging to it, was carried up feet first. Its strength, he says, was irresistible. I felt as though I was nothing more than a feather in a giants hands. Many fears passed through my mind during the few seconds which that ghastly ride lasted, If I could have but all of them were too preposterous to believe. believed one of them I might have felt better. Anything was better than being at the mercy of an unknown monster. But suddenly the monster was out in the open and Frank was losing his hold. He rolled off and fell to the ground. When he got up he haH regained his composure and also his senses. Frank went into the house and got a lantern. Then he went out again and walked to the barn. Sure enough there was his monster, and his hunch had been right. Standing by the gate was Franks boar hog. He had escaped from the barnyard and gone into the cellar looking for an evening snack. And when he ran out of the cellar in alarm, his nose went bed tween Franks legs, throwing Frank over on his back. Frank says his wife thinks this story funny, and tells it to all her But it was mighty real to me, Frank says, I didnt know friends. fright could be that bad! blood-curdli- ng 500-pou- wide-sprea- (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) lustrating 36 authentic patchwork stitches or the RAG RUG LEAFLET, will be included with orders for both books for the present, but the offer may be withdrawn at any time.
