iiltOttier Boston L11ge1rttltun, it truly
amateur race that has come to be the
most important of its kind in the world,
attracting runners from many lands,
passed into history, last month.
A great number of Canadians have
won this gruelling battle over the full
marathon distance; Jack Caffrey, twice, Johnny Miles, twice,
Gerard Cote, a cigar -smoking French Canadian, our times;
Tom Longboat, .Freddie Cameron, Jimmy Duffy, Dave Komo-
nen, Edouard 1 abre,—and a tall, slim young fellow named
Walter Young, whose home was, and is, in the Montreal
suburban city of Verdun.
We don't intend to make comparisons as to the courage,
physical and mental, the joy of contest, the hope of fame,
that activated all these, and all the other runners who flock
the world over to compete in this gruelling battle' over the
hills and slopes that finally, after agony of heart, lungs and
muscles, pitch the runners into the cobbled streets of old
Boston town, to finish the grind, and sink exhausted on the
camp -beds provided.
But we do say that seldom, if ever, did a Boston marathon
winner possess a less inspiring background nor a more com-
pelling urge to win, than Walter Young, when, in the autumn
of 1936, he started training for the Boston marathon of 193'7.
For Walter Young was then on relief, in the late clays of the
Great Depression. He was a recipient of that form of national
charity which contributed to each man, each family, enough
to allow bare existence, to pay humble rental, to buy scantily
of the cheapest of foods. In brief, to keep together body and
soul.
It was a shameful way of life, and no one felt more bitter
about his lot than jobless Walter Young, married, with a wife,
an infant son, and a mother to support. He had engaged in
athletics, and he thought that, if he could enter, perhaps make
a good showing, in such a race as the Boston marathon,, it
alight lead to better times for himself, his wife, his little family.
He discussed this with a great professional runner, Pete
Guvazzi. Guvazzi loved to run. He found a willing pupil in
Young. Through the autumn, the winter, the early spring,
these two ran, in preparation for the marathon. They ran 150
miles per week. They ran 1,700 miles in all before they decided
Young was physically ready for the Boston- test. Then they
scraped up the money to ride a bus to Boston, with just
enough left to feed and house then there.
Inspired by the possibility that victory could get him
off the misery of relief rolls, Walter Young ran like a man
possessed. He led .190 other runners from the world over, won
by himself. And his great race was not in vain. Sporting
Verdun gave hien a job as a policeman. At least, he was off
relief. Ile was working, at a man's job, earning a living.
And he's a policeman still, though, promoted from the lower
ranks of the force.

Modern Etiquette
Q. Should a person always rise
when perforrning an .introduc-
tion?
A. In most cases, yes. How-
ever, there are certain circum-
stances where this Would .prove
awkward. If • an introduction is
performed at a banquet table, for
instance, then rising is not deem-
ed necessary.
Q. Is it necessary to acknow-
ledge a wedding invitation which
aloes not include an invitation to
the reception?
No.
Q. When children are eating at
the same table ,with adults, should
they be served first, last, or in
regular rotation?
A. Serve the children in the
same rotation as the adults.
Q. When a wife is writing a
note of •thanks, is'she supposed to
sign her husband's name as well
as her own?
A. No; she should sign her own
name only. But in the note she
may say, "Charles and I both ap-
preciate your hospitality," or
whatever the thanks are for.
Q. Doesn't the bride and her
mother make up the invitation
list for a large wedding?
A. Yes, together with the bride-
groom and his mother, who have
as much right to include their
friends and relatives as the
bride's family.
Q. When ser v i n. g a buffet
supper, where should the silver
and napkins be placed?
A. It is more convenient to
place them where they are to
be picked up last.
Q. vilhen serving wine at a
dinner party, should the glasses
filled in the kitchen and then
brought in to the table?
A. No. The wine should be
poured into the glasses, at the
right of each, person, and with-
out moving the glasses.
Q. When you are not sure
whether a man and a girl have
been introduced, is It all right
to say, "Mr. Gibson, have you
'net Miss Lee"?
A. Yes; this gives the honor to
the girl, and is better than asking
Miss Lee if she has met Mr. Gib-
son. -
Q. What is the preferred kind.
of mourning stationery now
used?
A. Plain white stationery. The
black -bordered paper is notused
as much now as formerly.
Q. If a girl's parents are tenable
to stand the expense of a big
wedding, and her fiance's parents,
who are very well-to-do, have
indicated. they would welcome the
opportunity to defray the ex-
penses of such a wedding, would
this be all right?
A. No. A girl's wedding trust be
in keeping with her own family's
resources. After her wedding,
her husband's parents may give
as big and elaborate a welcoming
party as they wish.

Professional Standards. In Mil-
waukee, the Journal carried a
classified ad: "Sitter For Boys.
Grandpa in 50s will sit evenings
with your boys age 4 and up. If
boy is well behaved, 'lio charge.'
If permitted to attempt to regu-
late Misbehavior into Behavior,
still 'no Marge.' If I am not per-
mitted to attempt to teach your
boy t 1.1 e 'manners of a little
Southern gentleman' I do not
wish to Sit or associate with
your 'young un' or You."
A i rCal1tr;LL'1C
Some boxers have been popu-
lar with the public, no matter
whether they were winning 'or
losing. Others, , even when they
were on top of the heap, were
personally hated. It's all a mat-
ter of personality, or something,
we suppose; either you've got
what it takes, or you haven't,
and there isn't much you can do
about it.
•
One of the most widely hated
of all champions %vasundoe b1
edly Max Schmeling, the
browed Nazi who happened to
lick Joe Louis and then went
swelling his chest ail over the
map as a representative of Aryan
superiority over the lowlier
races" and all such stuff. (What
Joe Louis did to Maxie when he
got him in the ring a second time
was really something but that
has little to do with the pres-
ent story.)
Running Rinds Around Outlaws --Kids get the thrill of wild west
days at Palisades Park, where the merry-go-round is fitted with
figures of outlaws in the centre of the ring. Pint-sized cowboys
fire electric -eye pistols at the bad men and o bell rings when
hits are scored.
5 ,*
When Schmeling came back to
America to fight Louis in the
return bout his manager was a
tittle, cigar -chewing Yiddisher
named Joe Jacobs—better known
as "Yussel the Muscle", and a
real character if ever there was
one. Schmeling had brought along
with him, from Germany, a Nazi
named Arno Hellmiss, who was
scheduled to broadcast the de-
tails of Maxie's "triumph" to the
home -folks via short wave radio
from the ringside.

by Joe Jacobs. it was the little
Jewish manager who tenderly
helped Hellmiss to the ship he
was to sail on, undressed him with
kind hands, put him to bed, and
soothed the suffering broadcast-
er. The sick man continued to
ni.oan that he was dying. When
his wails became too loud to
stand, Jacobs called a doctor to
•examine the man.
The examination was brief.
When it was over the doctor in-
formed Jacobs that Hellmiss had
been given a Mickey .Finn and
that nothing else was the matter
with him, (A Mickey Finn, good
reader, is a comparatively harm-
less little pill that is added to a
drink in order to knock out the
drinker. it is usually given to
someone who is getting difficult
to handle.) .
*
Even acharacter like Arno
Hellmiss could see clearly enough
that he owed some gratitude to
a man who helped him as much
as Joe Jacobs was doing. When
he could talk he said; "Joe, please
forgive me. Ilve been rotten to
you and you're the only one who
helped ire. Honest, Joe, I'm sorry
for everything."
"Forget it, pal," answered the
acconxodating Jacobs. "We're all
even now. Glad to do anything
I can for a sick friend."
F * 5
When the all -ashore signal was
given, Joe Jacobs left the ship,
but not till Hellmiss had bid him
a. tearful fond farewell, vowing
again and again that he felt like
a heel for the way in which he
had acted,
The way Bill Stern tells' it,
this Hellmiss was about as con-
ceited and boorish an individual
as ever stepped Broadway —
which is saying plenty, at that. Ile
expected everybody he carie in
contact with to grovel at his feet.
All the American reporters who
ran into him around Schmeling's
training camp took a violent dis-
like to hint, several having to
be restrained from taking a poke
at his Nazi schnozzola.
,r 5 5
On his own account, Hellmiss
took a violent dislike to Schm.el-
ing's Jewish manager, Yussel
Jacobs. On no occasion that offer-
ed did the German overlook the
opportunity of belittling the little
guy. Jacobs, however, returned
kindness and consideration for
the insults that were heaped on
his head. The local reporters
could not understand Jacobs' at-
titude. `'
*
"Why dont you take a poke
at that Nazi bum?" they asked
him. "You don't have to take
that from hint. Go on, we'll back
you up!"
"No, fellers," little Yussel ja1
cobs would answer with a grin,
"I woulr.`in't harm a hair on his
head!'
Came the night of the fight,
as everyone remembers, and Joe
Louis handed Schmeling one of
the most humiliating defeats in
boxing history—a knockout in
less time than had ever before
been recorded in such a match.
Hellini.s, who was at the ring-
side for his broadcast, was so in-
furiated by this blow to the
"superman" from • Germany that
he rushed away from th.o scone
intent on drowning his sorrows
before dashing off to take his
boat home,
•r
• In some way Hellmiss fouled
himself with Yussel Jacobs as
his drinking partner at a bar not
far from the docks. The German
took one drink and proceeded to
get violently ill. Despised and
•shunned as he was by most people
around him, Hellmiss found him -

DYEING AND CLEANING
At the foot of the gangplank,
Joe was met by several angry
friends. News of Jacob's friendly
activity in behalf of so hated a
character as Hellmiss had gotten
around quickly.
"What's the matter, Mussel?"
demanded one of them. "Have
you gone nuts? What's the idea,
helping that no-good bum after
the way he treated you?" •
"Wait a minute," said another
onlooker, looking closely at little
Joe. "I think maybe I smell a
mouse around here. Could it be
you, Yussel, that slipped this
nasty character a Mickey Finn?"
"What are you talking about,
a Mickey Finn?" demanded the
indignant Jacobs. "I should give
a guy one Mickey Finn. I liked
that fellow Hellmiss. I'm. no
piker; so I gave hint THREE
Mickey Finns!"
