Thursday, October 3, 1935 By ALAN BROWNING, Jr. AT RANDOM Thoughts are running into a .black channel this week. . . Simpson and Oswaid H. Gumbersnitz are both out of town, Simp son having not yet returned from 1 Detroit where he went with the mistaken idea that Detroit was the town Max Baer and Joe Louis were going to scrap in, and Mr. Gumbersnitz, with his candidacy in mind, was up in Alleghany county hunting for a large stump with which he expects to stump the country in his fight for dog catcher of Surry county. So, with these two sources of information closed, it's going to be hard sledding all the way down. Already the boss is casting mean looks over this way because' we we think best with our head on our hands. We also go to sleep good that way. One of the other disappointing things about that fight last week in which Louis toyed with Baer for a few minutes before smacking him down for keeps, was its briefness. We had rushed home from the of fice and got all settled in our un comfortable easy chair when bang, pow! biff!, and the fight was over. And it looks like "Pick 'em Wrong" McLemore, the fellow whose pieces appear in the Sentinel, said the day after the fight. We may as well like Louis because it looks like he's go ing to the top and stay there a long, long time. He could lick Braddock before breakfast any old morning.

Pact is, he didn't fight but one time and when he woke up some hours after the first half minute of the first round. He de cided that a fight career wasn't so hot after all. So he got himself a 3ob in a cream puff factory. His employers furnished the cream and Simpson supplied the puff. After a couple of weeks of cream puffing, Simpson was told that he was too big a man for the Job, so for several months he toured the country with One-Eyed Connolly until he landed with us. He's been on relief ever since. Unlike Simpson, Mr. Gumbersnitz aimed higher when he picked a ca reer. His first job was as a sky scraper window washer in New York, but after a day or so of that he de cided that he wasn't built to with stand the high altitude. Prom then on he went from bad to worse and finally wound up as a politician, which trade he's been following ever since with about as much success as you could crowd through the eye of a needle. A small needle at that. But both boys are good fellows at heart. Simpson thinks nothing of snitching your last cigarette, but he means no harm. All he's interested in is getting the cigarette. And Mr. Gumbersnitz, although he looks mean enough to serve process papers wouldn't hurt a soul—unless he could profit by ifcr Back in the day immediately after Lindbergh's flight to Paris, when ev erybody who could scrape up an old i»lane and enough gasoline to com mit suicide on, was hopping off for Europe and points west and winding up in the squadron of missing fliers, we had a helper by name of Hermon Algernon Dooflighty. Dooflighty al ways had been airminded, having won several prizes for flying the highest kite in his home town, so he immediately went air crazy and decided to hop to Europe. The last report we had of Herman was contained in a newspaper article which concerned the activity of a very sick shark noted in mid-ocean by passengers on a steamer. To the world it was just a sick shark. To us it was Herman. It's a pity that the Elkin fair was held so early this year on account of Roy Bell's pumpkin. Mr. Bell had been grooming this pumpkin for some time for entry at the fair, but, worse luck, it didn't get grown. He had to pull it while still just an in fant and it only weighed 110 pounds. Pity it couldn't have grown up. The following represents several bright ideas we've had for this col umn during the past few days: You've heard the gag by now about how MJax Baer, while en route tn pßUfnmto nn t.ho tTfilU got SC verely injured. The train was pull ing into St. Louis and when the con ductor called the station, Maxie thought he s*id "Joe Louis", and jumped out the train window. Which, no doubt had it really hap pened, would have been a good idea. Corky Cornelius, as we get It, is not going north to play professional - '.X-i:- waid ... ... C. . ... ''* .. ' : . THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA football, but will remain on the job here with Chatham. Which looks like, to us, a swell break for the Elk in football team provided the form er Duke star can spare the time to assist in coaching. In spite of the masterful way in which we explained the Italian- Ethiopian dispute last week, they ain't started no war yet. Maybe Mr. Mussolini's bark is worsen his bite. How's your tail light?
