June 24.—(URP-As if I didn't already know It. helpful correspondents have written in to advise me that I had better have a new job lined up for myself in the event Tony Galento knocks out Joe Louis in Yankee stadium Wednesday night. They point out. and quite properly, that no man with enough pride to wash his neck on Saturday night could say the things I have about Galento and then continue to pose as a sports expert after he had won. I had not given ! much thought until today, when, from the publicity offices of promoter Mike Jacobs, came a moat alarming little brochure. As I read ita neatly mimeographed pages 1 entertained, for the first time, an ' idea that Galento might possibly J win. The brochure that caused my un- . easiness was largely devoted to a 1 physical comparison of Galento and Louis In black and white It revealed what an unbiased surveyor had found after going over both .of them with a tape measure, a transit, and a plumb bob After I ’-’udylng it I could not help but , admit that Galento had the better of it and. on paper, was the better I man. Galento Is 29 years of age to 25 for Louis, and a man can learn a lot In four years, especially those I four yearn between 25 and 29. Take my own case, for example. At 25 I coulun t ride a bicycle without touching the handle bars, was a total loss over the fudge bowl, aud had never heard of the Dionne quintuplets. At 29 I still hadn't heard of the Quintuplets, but I was corresponding secretary of our local cycling club aud could whip up a dish of fudge with the beat of them. • Galento has It all over Louis when It comes to the neck. Gal- ■ ento's being 134 around and Joe's only 144. As I get it. the neck , holds the head In place, and so the II bigger the nock the better a fellow holds his head If you think . the neck isn't Important, just try and get along without yours for a while. i Galernos ankles made those of . Louis look silly Tony has a full 12 Inches of ankle on each toot, and you can pore through all the records of all the sports without finding an athlete who made good on weak ankles. The ankle Is the staff of life (or so someone has said) and Tony will enter the ring with a beautiful sot. Working up from the ankle we • reach the calf, and Galento has a , pair that would ,et blue ribbons at any fair. Each one Is nearly 19 Inches around Louis, on the otb- ■ er hand (or the other calf) measures a scant 15 inches around the I calf. Had 1 known thia 1 certainly

IZEKE BONURA LEADS GIANTS ON WIN STREAK ; Clownish First Sacker’s Terrific Hitting Leading Giants New York. June <u.R) Big Zeke Bonura. the butt of more jokes than any other player In the majors, is far from s laitghtng matter to National league clubs ( these days • Bonurs's terrific hitting In the west was one of the main factors in the Giants' rise to a contending position in the National league 1 race Big Zeke batted .512. hitting' safely In every game In the op-1 ener of the western trip In Chicago! he hit two homers to give the Giants a 2-1 victory, and yester-1 day in Cincinnati in the last game I of the trip singled to send over I the winning tally as the Glanta stopped the Reda fop the third straight time. 3-2. Long laughed at for his somewhat clownish fielding. Bonura haa more than made up for any deficiencies in the field ,by his timely clouting His batting average of .37# gives him second place to Morris Arnovk-h. the Ph 111 Ira leader. On the western • trip he made 21 hila in 41 times I at hat. scored 12 runs and hatted' in 14. The Giants won 9 out of 1# in the great, and were headed home I wouldn't have made him am h a ' tremendous thorite Half a calf, like half a loaf, la no good In the ' prixe ring. When the thighs are reached Galento is so superior that I wouldn't be surprised if Louis in- 1 slated on wearing long pants Wednesday night to avoid having his own revealed as so inadequate. ] 1 Galento'a thighs are measured in ' 1 yards, and there is a report that | 1 sculptor Gution Gorglum covets them for a has relief of American ! history along the lines of hia work hi the Black Hille and on Stone mountain. Whqp the cheat is reached Gal- 1 ento has it over Louis like a tent 1 over a circus. Galento s chest is 1 vastly superior to thst of the ’ champion, be it expanded, deflated. 1 with vest, without vest, or cover- < ed with tattooing. Galento weighs a lot more. too. He will bring into 1 the ring (perhaps with the help I of a basket) 23» pounds of train-ed-to-the-minute suet, while Louis 1 will have to depend on fewer than , I 2<X) pounds of muscle. 1 If It weren't 100 late, and if It I wouldn't make me wih a sissy. < I would retract all I said, and come out flatly for Galento But I won't. I With what I believe you vflll admit is commendable courage I will suy out on my limb, haxard the 1 long chance, and continue to pre- 1 diet a victory for Louis If Joe loses let me know if you hear of any buaiueaa openings. I 1 am handy at hanging hammocks; ' sm pretty good st mstching chlnts samples, and can operate a player 1 piano !
