LOUIS, Aug. 5—Helen Ste- phens is looking for more track and field records—not a husband. The tall, blue-eyed Fulton, Mo. girl star of the 1936 Olympics is “very well” satisfied with her present job of pounding a typewriter in an of- fice here. And she hopes to keep in condition by playing on the com- {pany’s softball team. As for marriage—"“No, not at pres- ent.” S Her track dates include the Ca- nadian national exposition meet at Toronto, September 4-6, and the National AAU meet in New York.

But if you are willing to take his word for it there will be a new world heavyweight champion crowned after he squares off against Joe Louis late in Aug- ust. “And after I defend the title two I shall retire,” spoke |engaria made her way up New York harbor. “Got to give some othgr fellow a chance, you know.” &rely on the strengin of his rec- ord there is little reason to agree with the British battler that Louis is going to prove a soft touch. On the contrary, there is every indica- jtion that if either is to prove an leasy mark it is likely to be the vis- |itor from abroad. Farr outpointed Tommy Lough- |been doing miraculous things atiran, the record book shows, and he| |beat Ben Foard, Max Baer and Wal- |ter Neusel, stopping the latter in' |four heats. He has improved in |the last six months, but it is ex- (tremely doubtful that he has come |along far enough to extend the Brown Bomber. Farr bases his confidence on the fact he has made an exhaustive study of the Bomber’s recent fights from movies and is convinced that ,he has met and defeated eight or nine colored fighters. Reports from abroad have it that Farr is a fair boxer and able to absorb considerable punishment, but if he packs a knockout punch he has failed to show it. In appearance he reminds one of an English bulldog. His back- |ground indicates that he comes of irugged stock, has father and grand- |tather before him having gained some measure of renown as bare- knuckle fighters. Perhaps here is a British heavy who can stay on his |feet for a while.

Starting with the fight of | an earnest, honest Governor to rid | the State of a plague of racketeers who control it, the story moves swiftly through the thrills of the revival of a twenty-year-old scandal which is revived and held as a wea- pon over the head of the Governor's wife.
