Thia may prove to be dangerous if you try to stop quickly or - change your direction suddenly I Other conditions which tend to i cause similar results are wet '.eaves. ■ car tracks, oil ice and snow. Under ’ such circumstances, whenever you > feel impatient, just remember the wet eraser.

Neither boxer will have to be built up for the match, although only a year ago Louis was hailed ‘ as a super-man and a white hope I tournament was underway before Braddock hud made his first title defense. The Bomber's bubble was burst by Max Schmeling but the backers who watched the shuffling negro grow out of the amateurs *: around Chicago are convinced the . Schmeling business was all a mis ' take. Bradock. despite his two idle I years, is as popular as Louis in [ the challenger's own backyard, i Crowds jam the streets to see him > when he slips into town. "If this fight hadn t been a sure thing at the gate, it never would I have been attempted." Foley said. "This town never has seen Louis i in a really big bout. It hasn't i seen a heavyweight championship fight for 10 years. , "The fans are pouring out be-' I cause they're starved for action." |1 Jacobs, credited as the man beI hind the scenes who maneuvered ; the champion out of a scheduled : bout with Schmeling. was jubilant I over the selection of White Sox park as site of the fight.
