BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
EW YORK, Dec. 12.—It develops that Mr. David Windsor is going to be paid something like $500,000 a year for the rest of his life
for not being King of England and a number of persons are going
around saying how sorry they are for him. : The Brooklyn
baseball team is going to pay Mr, Casey Stengel $15,000 next summer for not managing the National Leaguers across the river there are many who feel he is being shabbily treated. Apparently a fellow who is jobless, penniless and starving doesn’t know how lucky he is these days. By the way, would you know whether a working agreement exists between No. 10 Downing Street and the Brooklyn front office? There have been intimations that the exiled King didn’t care much about the job of Kinging from the start and the chances are this is true. As every reader of the newspapers knows he liked to hang around with the sporting crowd in the hot spots. ~ One night following the British Open golf championship, Walter Hagen, never abashed in the presence of gold braid and silver lining, remarked to him: “I'd like to have your job, It must be pretty soft.” And the then Prince of Wales answered, “I'll trade with you if you like.” Looking back on the incident he may have been kidding on the
square, I HAVEN'T had much experience with royalty, but I recall the time when Babe Ruth spurned a public meeting with Queen Marie of Rumania. It was somewhere in the Middle West—Minneapolis, I believe. The Babe hadn't strapped on the harness of domesticity yet and was traveling with a vaudeville ‘unit. The Queen was in America goodwilling and softening up the bankers for a loan.
: They both hit town the same : day and the imaginative Christy ‘Walsh, who managed. the Babe's business affairs at that time, de-
cided it would be good publicity to have the King of Swat, as the Babe was modestly called, meet the Queen of Rumania. Knowing the value of publicity herself, the practical Queen readily consented. But when the time came for the cere- - mony the Babe was not present.
Mr. Walsh rushed to the phone and contacted the King of Swat in his hotel room. . .. “Hurry on down here, you're keéping the Queen waiting,” shrieked Mr. Walsh. “To hell with the Quéen,” boomed ‘Mr. Ruth. “I'm playing stud poker and I just drew a full house.” : The latter details are somewhat fictional but the attraction -in Babe's room at the moment was exciting enough to command the gentleman's uninterrupted attention for the rest of the ‘afternoon. ” FJ s
ERLIN visitors last summer B could not but be impressed by the powdery foundation of monarchies. When some of us were just bluoming into what biologists call manhood the German empire was a tremendous thing and the Kaiser was a symbol of enduring power and efficiency; it seenged inconceivable that anything short of an angry divine edict, marking the end: of the world, would ever impair the greatness of the empire or alter the Kaiser's position in international affairs. Less than 20 years have passed, the Kaiser is a grumpy old man in exile scratching out his memories and the Fatherland is ruled by a neurotic house : painter against a mad background of fluttering red flags and uplifted hands. The royal palace is a tourist eye-popper where the guides wise crack about the lives and habits o its former occupants. :

fighter, which was expected to prove one of the most thrilling encounters of the show, had a dramatic ending. The boys came out of their corners cautiously but after a few seconds of sparring Brown opened up with a left uppercut which found Krukemeier’s chin. He followed with a hard right-hand smash to the jaw and the Turners’ representative hit the canvas. .It was a first-round knockout for Brown.
