Uzcudun Unaware of Sure ‘Doom’ He Faces n m a a a a So Believes Writer Who Visits Training ‘Jail’ of Man Fated to Meet Louis Next.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent N ew YORK, Dec. 7.—At the invitation of Warden Mike Jacobs I traveled to Orangeburg yesterday to take a last look at Paulino Uzcudun, the condemned Spaniard who has but six days more before being publicly turned over to Executor Joe Louis. Paulino, 36, swarthy, beetle-browed, and with a record as long as the Tunney count in Chicago, is spending his last days in that tumble-down reform school built years ago by- Gus Wilson, and christened Goofycrest. Warden Jacobs, as if to prove that the aged Spaniard is being given the best of treatment, allowed me to spend an entire day with him. from the time hi# guards roused him in the morning until they turned out the lights and locked his bedroom door at night. u h n ana HIS day begins at 8 o’clock, when he wakes himself up with a selfimposed hot-foot. Breakfast is at 8:30 and consists usually of frijoles, tamales, enchilladas, tortillas, and corn flakes with tabasco sauce. Warden Jacobs is more liberal in the matter of exercise for condemned men than most wardens. Paulino, for example, is allowed two exercise periods a day. In the morning he takes a long run over the neighboring roads, but always under heavy guard. In the afternoon, usually about 3, he climbs in a ring and pretends he is boxing. "We let him do that," a keeper explained, “to make his last days more comfortable. For some reason, he suffers the delusion he is a boxer, and nothing soothes him so much as to get in the ring and play at boxing He's pretty good at it, too. Especially on defense. He has worked out a defense with his chin that makes him practically impossible to hurt.” a a a a a a ONE of Pauline’s few restrictions is on his reading matter. His keepers trv to keep as many newspapers out of his hands as they can. They're afraid he’ll read something about his impending doom, and get the jitters. "We learned our lesson about newspapers with Levinsky, Baer, and Camera,” a keeper explained. "They were the last ones to go before Paulino, you know. We let them see all the newspapers, and it frightened them to death. It was all we could do to get them in the ring with Louis. You’ll notice that Paulino is bearing up mighty well.” The keeper was right—Paulino is facing his doom in amazing fashion I saw him laugh half a dozen times yesterday, and he ate three hearty meals. I attribute this light-heartedness more to his simple nature, however, than to his bravery. He simply doesn’t know what he’s in for. You speak to him of Louis and he grunts good-naturedly and says: “Yeah, nice fella. I be glad see him.” a a a a a a HIS attendants say he sleeps like a log at night and that a guard really isn’t necessary. "I don’t believe he'd run away if he had a chance,” one of them told me. “It was different with Baer. We had to keep him in almost solitary confinement in the mountains. Wc always felt that Max, given an opening, would have made a break for California. But Paulino honestly seems to look forward to meeting Louis. All of us feel that he’ll take it like a man.” Warden Jacobs said that the public was eager to witness Paulino’s finish, and would pay more than SIOO,OOO to see it.

Timex Special GREENFIELD, Ind., Dsc. 7.—lnaccuracy, both from the foul line and the field, led to Shortridge’s defeat by Greenfield last night, 24 to 16, in a high school basketball game here.

Ben Davis in Victory Over Manual Five Giants Gain ‘Moore’ Points in Final Quarter to Rap Locals. BY TOM OCHILTREE After a long windup, the Ben Davis basketballers finally went through the Manual defense last night like a cannon ball through an apple pie crust. Final score of this game, played on the abbreviated Hawthorne Com munity House floor, was 31 to 1). At least, that was what the timekeeper said. No one else seemed to know, because the electric scoreboard broke down. The gallant Manual squad, handicapped by the absence of their coach and the height of the ceiling, made it a contest until the last five minutes. Then a tall, thin Ben Davis lad named Harry Moore went on a final tear and put the game in the ice box. • Seven Out of 13 Moore had plagued the Redskin guards all evening, but ne seemed to outdo himself in this last charge. The record showed he made seven baskets out of 13 attempts. The game was sort of an unveiling for the Manual team, and the boys looked a little rough around the edges. Their stoop-shouldered defense probably was caused by lack of practice. After organizing the squad two weeks ago Coach Oral Bridgeford received an infected foot and had to go to bed. His assistant, Harry Thomas, has carried on, but the boys only had a few practice drills before the game. The Ben Davis stalwarts, on the other hand, had won six previous starts. Dribbling on Ceiling Although the Giants seemed familiar with their surroundings last night, the Manual netters never figured out the small gym. Time after time they tried long shots only to have them bounce off the ceiling. The game originally was to have been played on the South Side floor, but the Manual senior class was putting on a little drama there last night, and the site- had to be changed. The Redskins drew first blood when Dick Gallamore and Ed Roessler sank circus shots. Harry Moore evidently spent the first period limbering up, but he finally went to work and knotted the count early in the second period at 5-all. Moore and Richard Wenning matched onehanded shots, and the score was tied again. Moore Erases Worries Just when the Giant rooters began to look worried, Moore looped in a one-handed toss from the corner of the floor and gave Ben Davis a 10-to-7 advantage at intermission. Roessler missed a free throw and got madder than old Dangerous D. McGrew. Before the fracas was over, he had fouled Moore, and that gent calmly dropped in his charityshot. The Manual team was still in there trying and the count stood 17 to 15, Ban Davis, at the three quar - ters mark. It was in the last few minutes that the Manual boys steppea cn iheir own neckties, and Moore forged ahead. All in all, he had a very large evening. The summary. Manual (19). Ben Davis (31).

John Fehr, Bob Haagsma Post 700s to Set Pace in City Tenpin Sessions
The Insurance League, which rolls at the Central Alleys on Friday nights has responded to The Times Clothe-a-Child movement and will clothe one boy and one girl.

League at the Illinois Alleys. Games of 223, 227 and 258 gained Fehr his top-notcher and set the pace in the B 1 u m e s ’ three-game victory over Sterling Beer. Johnny Murphy and Jess Pritchett Sr. added totals of 658 and 646 to Fehr’s big series, and
the team emerged with a 3114 total through counts of 1024, 983 and 1107. No member of the Sterling team passed 600,*Roy Haislup at 593 and Tom Quill at 591 being the nearest threats. Although Flap Jacks with games of 1022, 989 and 1125 posted the best team total in the city, a 3136, they dropped the middle game to Falls City Hi-Bru, which used a 1042 for the victory. Each team produced a trio of 600 shooters, but those of the winners were much healthier than the lasers. Ed Stevenson with 673. Carl Mindach with 654 and Paul Stemm with 653 were the Flap Jacks’ hard hitters, while Joe Fulton with 604 and Red Mounts ana Charley Cray with 603s were the top scorers of the Brus. The pin toppling of Ed Striebeck and Larry Fox proved too much for the Lieber Lagers, and the Bowes Seal Fast copped all three tilts of their match. Striebeck followed openers of 208 and 203 with a sizzling 274 to reach 685, while Fox chipped in a 612 as his donation to the team's victories. Phil Bisesi’s 594 was the best the Lagers had to offer. Bowes closed with a 1031. George Meeker hung up his season’s best while performing with Acetylene Products Cos.

Several other pastimers threatened the mark, as is evidenced by the fortyeight games better than 200. Haagsma’s 703, which gave his Pennzoil team enough edge to nab a pair of tilts from Illinois Five, was made possible through games of 267, 191 and 215, which were rolled on Alleys 7 and 8, known as the “graveyard pair” to city pastimers.

He had a 629, but when his mates on the H. Lieber team failed to lend him any aid, Hayes Bros, came out on the long end of the scoring in all three tilts. Les Brandt posted a 619, but his Br&ndt Bros, aggregation was more successful, winning one of its games from Railroad Men’s Building & Savings Association. Charlie Rabold also assembled a 619, and was the more fortunate of the honor shooters as his Modern Insulators won every game over McGuire & Shook.

Brown, Cox Sign Up for Rivalry Tiff Scrappers Settle Weighty Problem and Prepare to Collide Friday. Well, it happened. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. went Into a huddle with Tracy Cox and Willard Brown, popular local welterweights, and emerged today with the announcement that Cox and Brown will square off in a 10-round fight at the Armory this Friday night. The city’s most rivalrous scrappers signed for the bout after spending a week dickering over their differences in weight. Cox, who scales around 140, had insisted that Brown make 143 pounds at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the battle. Brown, normally fighting at 148, didn’t believe he could shrink that much. The agreement finally was reached that Willard must weigh in, plus togs, at 147 at the ringside Friday night. Pick Up Weight The provision was made because a fighter’s avoirdupois is an exceedingly unstable object, and a mittman weighing a certain amount in the afternoon sometimes adds two or three pounds before squareaway time. The bout has received the approval of the state. Sam Murbarger, chief inspector of the Athletic Commission, not only sanctioned the joust but declares that the winner will be recognized as the welterweight champion of Indiana. Mix Different Styles Both Brown and Cox, using widely different styles of fistic mayhem, have attracted enthusiastic followings in the state. Glove lovers who like the jabbing, fast-moving school of boxers favor Brown. Tracy’s backers praise him as an aggressive power-punch slugger. Cox took a decision over his rival in a previous meeting. Brown stepped off to an early lead, but Tracy opened up a stiff punching attack that the fleet-footed jabber couldn’t shake off. A number of prelims will be arranged to complete the card. Armory Mat Bill Complete Kennedy Signs to Grapple Metheny in SemiWindup. Jack Kennedy, 216. Minneapolis, one of the most popular matmen ever to appear in local rings, will have the semi-windup spot on the all-heavyweight wrestling card at the Armory next Tuesday night. Kennedy will go against the aggressive Harold Metheny, Alton, 111. Signing of Kennedy and Metheny completes Tuesday’s program, which is headed by George (Cry Baby) Zaharias and “Rowdy” Joe Cox. Zaharias, 240-pound Colorado powerhouse, meets a two-fisted grappler in Joe. The Clevelander weighs 220. The "Cry Baby” recently returned from a pleasure tour through several European countries. Louis Thesz. 210, crack St. Louis husky, will pit his skill against Cliff Olson, 215, Minneapolis, in the opener. Olson staged a thriller with Gus Sonnenberg earlier this week.
Continentals and Ripple Capture Cage Openers Jonesmen Top Mooresville, Tackle Southport Tonight; Rockets Trounce Westfield. The “Jones Boys” of Washington High School will meet Southport tonight in their first home game. Because the Continental-Southport series stands 4-to-3 in Southport's favor, and because the Cardinals hav defeated Shortridge, the Purple five is keyed for a fast offensive gam®.
Coach Rowland H. Jones probably will start Sartor and Hardin at the forward positions. Lasiey at center, and Kasnak and Shoemaker as guards. The “B’ teams will play a curtain raiser at 7. Last night the Continentals took a thriller from Mooresville, 38 to 35. i The Mooresville boys, playing on their home floor, got off to an early lead and had Washington on the tail end of a 21 to 20 count at half time. Lasley and Hardin then went on a scoring spree that put the West Siders in front, and Washington was able to hold its advantage in the closing minutes. Stephens and York shared scoring honors for Mooresville. Summary : Washington (38). Mooresville ,35).

The “drought” ended last night when Coach Frank Baird’s boys thumped Westfield, 24 to 11, in the Tech gymnasium. The Rockets started off with a rush and held a clear advantage all the way. The half score was Broad Ripple, 11; Westfield, 3. Credit for the victory goes in a large measure to the guards, who held the visiting viuintet to three baskets. Fehren-
Overtime Millers Nose Out Irish in Extra-Period Thriller; Face Shortridge.
BY PAUL ROXELL It must be conceded that Merritt Murphy, Noblesville scribe, knows his budding basketball players. Proof of that fact came out last night as a by-product of Noblesville's 24-to-22 victory over Cathedral in an overtime high school battle on the local floor. Before the game started Mr. Murphy pointed to a lanky, darkhaired lad in Miller colors and said: "There's a real comer. His name is Bennett and he's a junior. Just a sub now. but watch him next year.” The capacity crowd on hand wasn’t forced to wait another year to see young Mr. Bennett perform. Along about 45 minutes later he entered the game and battered down Cathedrals apparently safe lead with two minutes to play, tending the fray into an extra period in which the Millers raced to triumph. Millers at Shortridge The loss, a hard one to take, was Cathedral’s third straight of the young season. It was victory No. 3 in a row for Noblesville. Coach Kennedy kept his players in the city over night. They will try for No. 4 tonight when they invade the Shortridge gym at 8 o’clock. Coach Joe Dienhart’s Irishers. by a bit of brilliant playing in the fourth period, were ahead 20-to-14 with hardly two minutes to go. Jarrell of the visitors connected on a looping field toss. As the seconds of the final minute ticked away. Bennett replaced Butler, immediately dropped in a long field attempt, then tied up the proceedings from under the basket. Good Zone Defense The local netters uncorked a clever zone defense and spots of flashy offensive drive in the gam® proper, but allowed the nervetauted overtime to get the better of them. In the extra session Stevenson of Noblesville took a trick pass from Bennett under the basket and slapped in a perfect pivot shot. A few seconds later Thom drove under to give the Millers a four-point edge. Broderick renewed Cathedral hopes—and those Irish rooters really hope out loud!—when he whipped in a long heave. The celebration was short-lived. The clock halted activities before the ball hardly had been tossed up again. Share Scoring Task The Cathedral quintet proved well balanced. It was impossible to select one player as the outstanding Irish performer. They worked together smoothly in a baffling zone defense in the first half. Even a five-minute turn of old-fashioned stalling by the Millers failed to pull them out of their positions. The scoreboard was balanced, 8-8, at rest time. They divided scoring honors with unusual fairness. Broderick tallied six points, Jack Connor, five; Killinger, four; Lanalian, four, and Bob Connor, four. Stevenson, a veteran forward, was Noblesville’s hero behind the scenes. He pushed in all eight points made by the Flour City club in the first half. He registered 12 points in all, setting the stage for Bennett’s triumphant entrance. Summary: Noblesville (24). Cathedral <22*.
