BRADDOCK SEES JOE LOUIS AS ‘JUST ANOTHER FIGHTER’
Champion Not One to Leave His Fight at Home Through Fright, Decides Col. Joe Heavyweight King Isn't Afraid of Any One in the World as Long as He Can Have a Steak to Train On, Mr. Williams Discovers at Buffalo. BY JOE WILLIAMS BUFFALO. Oct. 22—Thi: bustling town on the banks of sullen Lake Erie was settling down to comparative calm today following its first sports dinner at the distinguished athletic club. The all-sport dinner, in case you hadn't heard, is a modern device conceived by rebellious males for the purpose of getting away from the wife's relative the bridge table and all controversies touching upon the sartorial correctne. of Mr. Selassie's long flannel night gowns. The dinner par* is purely a myth and in moT instances consists sim- _ -* .

company with the more interesting characters of what is known as the sporting world. For example, at our little tea biscuit social last night we had, among others, Mr. James J. Braddock, the heavyweight champion; Mr. Joe McCarthy, the manager of the Yankees; Mr. Rabbit Maranville, the oldest living infielder, and Mr. Vincent Richards, the tenniser. This was the first appearance Mr. Braddock had made in these parts since, as a light heavyweight, he flattened one Eddie Benson in two rounds. It, is interesting to note that Mr. Braddock was tremendously received, a circumstance which would seem to belie the impression that he is not accepted seriously ns the No. 1 man of the heavyweights. Take That, Broadway! Perhaps due allowance should be made for the fact that Buffalo is sentimentally disposed toward tho Irishers but there is more substantial evidence available attesting to Mr. Braddock 's high status. This is to be found in the box office receipts of his various recent sorties in the hinterlands where he performs as a referee and an exhibitionist. Taking the figures from the books of Mr. Joe Gould, who handles the champion’s affairs, it is revealed that Mr. Braddock has made more money since he won the championship than he did on the night he won it. Almost twice as much more, to stress the point. And before the year is over Mr. Braddock will have made himself at least $150.000 — and that, as Mr. Gould, so pertinently states, is not eye wash. The significance of this is that j there is more interest in Mr. Braddock as a fighter than cynical Broadway suspects, because when a heavyweight champion can go into the smaller towns and pick himself up from SISOO to $3500 just by showing his heroic pan, the people must want to see him. At his peak Jack Dempsey did no better as a casual road attraction. A New One to Add Incidentally, Mr. Braddock revealed to the mock gourmands a new and dramatic insight into the circumstances surrounding his comeback. You may recall the comeback started with his knockout of Corn Griffin in a preliminary to the Baer-Carncra slaughter. (Baer? Baer? Where have I heard that name before?*. Quite a bit of journalistic hooey has been spilled as to the supposed managerial and promotional astuteness that placed Mr. Braddock in the starting spot. Well, it wasn't Mr. Jimmy Johnston of Madison Square Garden, nor was it Mr. Gould the manager. It was Eddie Harvey, brother of the veteran Charley, the latter being at the time the manager of Griffin. Charley had just maneuvered Griffin out of the Army, looked on him as a most likely pros-

New York, Chicago in Hockey Opener Teams Tangle Nov. 7 in National Tilt. I!;/ I'll itt if Press NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The National Hockey League 1935-36 campaign is to open Nov. 7 with the New York Americans playing the Chicago Black Hawks at Chicago.

poet and was eager to get him started out impressively. In such circumstances the managerial procedure always is to get an opponent who won't be too tough. “Just the Guy’’ Was Right “I've got just the guy for you," Brother Eddie said to Brother Charley. “He hasn’t had a fight in 10 months and he’s got what we want most—a name.” Brother Charley’s famous whiskers bristled with excited interest. “Braddock, eh? Get him. He’s just the fellow we need.” This was the first inkling Mr. Gould knew about the fight that was to lead ultimately to the heavyweight chatnpionship of the world. So with only one day’s notice and no training at all Braddock was fetched over to Long Island from his laborer's job on tlv 1 Jersey docks and tossed into the ring against the young, well-trained, hard-hitting newcomer.
—And Thus to Steaks For that fight Mr. Braddock drew S2OO. "Say. I've been eating hash for a year." Mr. Braddock confided to his manager. "With this dough we can buy a few steaks and now I’ll be able to whip anybody in the world." Up to now he has whipped everybody they have thrown at him. And until the sensational Joe Louis whips him (if he does'* the silent family man from Jersey is entitled to every sporting consideration. It so happens that's all he asks. There's one thing you can be sure about Mr. Braddock—he will not leave his fight in the dressing room through fright. He isn’t easily frightened. Fortunately for him he is the phlegmatic, bovine type possessed of very limited imagination. Louis to him in prospect is just another Corn Griffin. What he may turn out to be in actuality is something else.

Both teams remain unbeaten. Light rain and a heavy field did not stop the Butler eleven from answering Hinkle's call with a spirit that could not he dampened even by the cold shower. The faults rs last Friday's game were discussed and Hinkle urccri his men to be more careful in the execution of plays. Coaches Hinkle and Middlesworth are building up a defense against the powerful punting of Karr, the left half back of the Uhlan eleven. Karr s kicking has helped his team out of many tight spots The locals went through plav after play yesterday trying to block the punts of Waldo Stout. Hinkle also stressed the importance of the safety man judging the distance of the punt. Another Valpo player the Bull- , dogs were told to watch is George Krampien, ace guard. Krampien is said to be one of the best guards ; that has played on the Valpariaso eleven in 10 years. The contest at the Butler Bowl Fridav night will 1 start at 8:15.
What I'm trying to say is that when you talk of this coach or that coach being a miracle worker, you are just babbling conversational horsefeathers for the pleasure of listening to your own mczzo-con-tralto, basso-prof undo, or coloratura soprano. The material makes the coach, and it can unmake him even faster than it can make him. You don't have to take my word for it, cither. All you’ve got to do is take a look around the country at the former “miracle" coaches who are rocking on their heels. Jones Loses His “Touch” Howard Jones of U. S. C. is a sterling example. Four or five years ago when U. S. C. was running rough-shod over all opposition. it was pretty generally agreed that Jone was so smart and knew so much football, that he could take a squad of Singer Midgets and put ’em in the Rose Bowl. While Brother Jones never admitted to any such greatness, I never heard of him denying it. Then something happened to his material. Those big backs who could run and pass and kick and those towering linemen who were not only bigger, but faster, than a truck, started going somewhere else. And U. S. C. started losing. It hasn't stopped yet. although Brother Jones probably is even smarter than he was. No less sterling an example is Brother Harry Kipke at Michigan. Two years ago, when his Wolverines were the scourge of the Big Ten. many enthusiasts said Kipko was the most wonderful thing since the first rainbow. Now. only two seasons later, many of those same enthusiasts are suggesting he bn sent off to chase the end of the rainbow to make room for some one else.
Little's Team Folds This brings us down to Brother Lou Little of Columbia, who was a "miracle” man as late as last Saturday at noon. Then Brother Little's Lions were devoured alive, 34 to 0. by Pennsylvania, and the boys are beginning to ask questions. They want to know why. if Mr. Little won the Rose Bowl classic in '34 with a team composed of nonentities, he couldn't do the same thing again this year. The answer is this—Mr. Little didn't have a poor squad in ’34. He had a pretty fair bunch of players. This year the alumni, believing Brother Little w r as a wonderworker. neglected to supply him with any talent. And Little, like Jones and Kipke and all other thousand and one coaches in this country, can't get to first base without somebody to lug that ball and somebody else to knock down the enemy. Too Much Ballyhoo Who is to blame for this tragic business of blowing up a coach to super-heroic proportions just to hear him pop? I'd say the blame was pretty well distributed between the fans, the press and the coach. The fans exult, the press ballyhoos, and the coach, warmed by the soft rays of the spotlight, basks. A smart coach, I believe, could stop it: stop it simply by announcing over and over again, that his victories were won by his players and that if they weren't as capable as they were, all his fine theories would be just so many useless diagrams on paper. lOopyrlglu, 1935. by United Press; AMATEUR GRIDDEK HI'RT Charles Shipp, 21. of 1710 Sp3nnav, former Cathedral High School player, was treated yesterday at City Hospital for knee injuries received Sunday in an amateur league football game at Garfield Park,
