RESENTLY you are in the vicinity of the Rhine. To the left is a forest of spires from which long Eon: of black smoke emerge. This ‘proves to be Essen, home of the Krupps, where the big guns are manufactured. No American whose “memory goes back to the war can hear the name of Krupp without experiencing a cold, clammy terror. To see the plant from the lofty vaults of the sky where 'all is peace and beauty, is to conjure up bewildering images of human madness. The ship has soon left the Rhine behind and is now deep in the Netherlands. Another thirty minutes and it is winging over Belgium. This you learn from your map. The sen- - sation of advancing from one coun“try to another is rather empty and you feel something ought to be done about it. Perhaps there should be observation balloons at the frontiers with huge signs bidding departing guests happy landings.

ROM the air, Belgium looks no different than Tennessee and gcarcely seems as large. In the western tip of Belgium is Ypres. 1t pointed out to you as a mere speck dozing lazily in the August n. It is hard to believe that this was the most important salient :n the war and the place where more than a million men were Killed, when the British, French and th:= Belgians threw back the Germans 4n 1915. From the sky this human
“slaughter house seems no more siz-
nificant than a flag stop in Kansas, but history shows it marked the coiapse of an empire. The blue green waters of the “Nortn Sea fade into a soft blur and ‘the ship points its stubby nose to‘ward the English Channel. Down ‘below the freighters and ocean lin‘ers look like toys impaled on a silver disk. The sun is high and all is Two memoirs of the
You remember as a youngster when you read with unbelieving eyes ‘that Louis - Bleriot had actually ‘flown from England to France in a thing they called a monoplane and
which he had taken. Heavy think‘ers of the world dismissed it as a : stunt and condemned all air vehi“cles as utter nonsense. A few weeks go Bleriot died. He had lived to see the Lindberghs, Earharts, Molt linsons and Posts make his historic "exploit seem like child's play. med =n HE other memory is of Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to wim the English Channel. As the boat roared across the water virtu- : ally paralleling the course Ederle "had taken, I had a mind picture of “the New York girl's brave struggle in the icy water. I imagined I could see the little tug which accompanied . her with her butcher dad from Am-sterdam-av, New York. Bleriot contributed something imnt to science when he spanned he channel in his rickety crate. Ger“trude Ederle proved nothing more than that a sturdy, brave woman ean match the feat of any mere male. Yet there must have been in the souls of both a high spirit of adventure which is known only to blazers, and this is a precious mething that ordinary mortals

struggle and several fine defensive plays were turned in. Fred Berger led off the second stanza with a single and Johnny Riddle beat out a bunt, Berger pulling up at second. Siebert tried to sacrifice and forced Riddle at second, Berger reaching third. Sherlock’s single tallied Berger, Siebert stopping at second. Siebert Races Home
Bluege popped to Bush at second for the second out. Tinning beat out a roller and Gutteridge overthrew first on the play, allowing Siebert to score. Sherlock also attempted to reach home and was cut down to retire the side. There was no further scoring in the contest. It remained for Otto Bluege to save the game in the seventh session. The Birds had runners on second and third with two away when Freitas hit a high bounder over second. Bluege moved swiftly, leaped, took the ball with one hand and got the runner at first by a perfect heave. The circus stop and peg prevented two Columbus runs from scoring.

Young Bess Climbs Notch
Son of Ring Veteran Gains Decision in Initial’ 4-Round Try.
i BY HARRISON MILLER Milton (Young) Bess today had overtaken another of the preliminary milestones on a long fistic course mapped out by his father, One Round Bess, retired ring veteran. The young Negro scrapper stepped into his first four-round headline test last night at the Roy Wallace weekly boxing card at the Illinois-st arena and chalked up an impressive triumph over Les Douglass, Golden Glove lightweight champion from Lafayette. A large Bess following boosted fhe crowd to the largest of this season. Style Is Polished
Young Bess is no novice, being well schooled at the Bess A. C. which is maintained by his father. He advanced to the semi-final round of the local Golden Gloves tourney where he lost to Bud Cottey, twicechampion of the featherweight division. However, he has improved rapidly, and last night functioned with polished maneuvers. Only 17 years old, Bess presented a smooth attack that belied his youthfulness. Shuffling steadily toward Douglass, he forced the fighting with a straight-in attack and built a large margin on points with blows that had speed and sting. He tagged Douglass with sharp left jabs and followed with a right-cross that still needs development.
Johnson Stops Brown
Little Walter Johnson, tireless Oliver A. C. bantamweight, did not have to go the full distance in his first four-round match in the semiwindup. He kayoed Ray Brown,
' Lafayette, in the third with a hard
smash to the jaw. Bobby Guss, Washington A. C. featherweight, also scored a knockout in’ the second round of one of the supporting bouts, stopping Buck Sumner of Oliver A. C. Marshall Allison floored Lefty Lefferts, Marion County welterweight champ, several times, but his opponent went the distance, losing on a decision. In other bouts, Bob McLaughlin, Lafayette featherweight, outpointed Tommy LeFevre, Oliver A. C., and Harry Fishell, Bargersville welterweight, defeated Fred Riley, Bess . C.

OOKS and slices from here and there. ... . The British Walker» Cuppers have a big surprise awaiting them when they arrive for renewal of the international series Sept. 2 and 3. . .. Just wait ‘til they hit the Pine Valley course, at Clemington, N. J. over which the matches are to be played! « « «» It will take all the British tongue-in-cheekery at their command to refrain from charging the Yankees with being downright unsportsmanlike. . . . “Satan’s Acres,” as Pine Valley is known to those who play it, is considered just about the toughest course in the United States. The Britishers never have won the cup since it was cast 24 years ago, and it looks as if they are doomed from the outset again on the Pine Valley nerve-wracker. + «+ The going will be much tougher than usual on our_home boys, too, but they are more accustomed than the invaders to the difficulties set up by this course. { The unsuspecting British are going to land in trouble when they start out on that tightly trapped, thickly wooded, narrow fairwayed layout, because they are used “to the wide open spaces along their native seaside. . . . Heavy forests and yawning bunkers contribute
most. to the impregnable state of |
the Pine Valley greens.

The place is a sandwalled fortress for Old: Man Par. . « « Only once has he been reached in competitive play, by George Rotan, a Texas amateur, who carded the necessary 70 in 1922. ... The course record of 69 was blazed out by Jess Sweetser in a practice round some years ago. , .. You can bet your bloomin’ ‘at the British won't appreciate the bloody spot. ” ”n a” AURICE J. M'CARTHY, a pro weighing 220 pounds with a majority of them deposited in his midriff, does a lively business giving lessons to men of symmetrical similarity. . . . Stout men, McCar-
thy writes in the magazine Gojfing, should do most of their shot-mak-ing with their fingers, wrists and arms. . . . He starts pupils by having them stand up and chip shots without using the body at all for long stretches. at a Hime.
Why do you *suppose Indianapolis is so consistently overlooked as a site for the state amateur? . . . Not that Indianapolis particularly deserves it, since so many other state championship events are anchored here. . . . Just wondering. . . . Kokomo has been selected as the site for next year. ... Which is fair enough.
