April It. — (UJ9 -A new worlds record for optimism was established today by Tony I Galentu and his manager. Joe Ja-1 cobs. In a telephone conversation from Boston. Galen to and Jacoba expressed delight over the sudden death finish of the Joe Louis-Jack Roper bout in Los Angeles, and said the first round knockout was j positive indication that Galento would defeat the negro champion in June. When they told me this I immediately signalled for the operator and asked for a better connec<lon. being unable to telieve | my ears. It didn't seem possible that two adults, in their right minds, could place such an Inter- i pretatioa on the two minutes and 20 seconds knockout of Roper by | Louis. For them to rejoice over the | deadly work of Lonls. what with Galento scheduled to meet him in ' a few months, teemed to me to be ' aa absurd as it would be for the turkey to praise Thanksgiving or the mouse to celebrate the birthday of the man -ska invented the I rat trap. But rejoice they did. for about IS worth at a person-to-person rate. JactfflS was the first to speak to me. and by the tone of j ids voice, and the words he uttered. you would have thought that the Tigers' 12-hlt attack with thrsingles Barney McConkey.

Joe let loose a bellow that must have knocked every sparrow off the telephone , wires, between here and Boston “Ton're craay,” he roared. “What ' did Roper hit Ixiuis with tn the j ( first minute of that fight? What. I ask you. what? Three left books, that's all. Three left hooks That means that Galento can hit him with three. And baby, when Galento hits him with three he'll be sleeping for a week.

At thia Juncture Galento thundered to the telephone. Judging fmm the way he talked into it. it was the Brat telephone he had ever seen, and he was taking no chances with it. I didn't hear the opening bombardment of Verdun, but it must have sounded quite similar to Galento on the telephone He shouted so loud, and so belligently, that my eardrums snuggled close to one another for protection. and I worried leaf I be shellshocked before I could get him off the line. "He's a bum. and can't beat nothing but bums." Galento shouted. “He Just thinks be can knocked guys out fast. Wait'll I wade I Into him and let him have one on the whiskers. I'm telling you. I'm liable u* kill him.” Obviously disMtlsfled with Gelenin's modest statement of his own ability. Jacoba wrested the phone from Tony's hands and. in the pure language that has brought him offers of the chair of English from not one single university, proceeded to tell me what would happen to Louis on the night of June M. * 4 •'And If I'm wrong." he concluded. "sue me " Joe was Mfe In saying that, because he knows I won't sue him—t for damages, anyway. There will ' be enough damage done that night without anybody having to sue for i any.
