SPARMATES SIZE UP LOUIS

SEE JOE AS IMPROVED BOXER

TAKE the word, or words, of two gentlemen well qualified to discuss the subject, Joe Louis is a better fighter now than he was a year ago when he was training in Kenosha for his title-winning effort against Jim Braddock in Chicago. The gentlemen in question are George Nicholson and Jim Howell, robust members of the Louis shock brigade. « « « Both Nicholson and Howell were with Shufflin’ Joe in Kenosha, and they insist that the Bomber, prepping at Pompton Lakes, N. J., for the June 22 shindig with Max Schmeling at New York's spacious Yankee Stadium, is punching faster and harder than he did while tuning up for Braddock. “He's more vicious, too,” points out Nicholson. . .. “In Kenosha he was sluggish and listless most of the time, but there's a lot of pep and spirit in him now. . . . Every punch he lets go packs dynamite. . . . Even his jabs hurt, and if he starts working on Schmeling’s body as he has been working on ours, I don’t know how long Max will be able to weather the storm.”

” ”

= " = OWELL agrees with Nicholson. . .. “I've been in there with some pretty stiff punchers, but nothing to compare with Louis. . .. Out in Kenosha I didn’t mind working with Joe, but believe me, it's no pleasure at Pompton Lakes. . . . After every workout I'm bruised and sore. « . . He can jar you by just poking you on the arm or shoulder, and when he rips one into the body its terrifying.” But hadn’t the sparmates been hitting Louis rather freely with right hands? “Oh, that’s to be expected more or less,” explains Howell. “Joe has been experimenting with different tactics to use against Schmeling, and not being accustomed to them, he may be getting hit more often than he should. . . . But he’s looking better with every workout, and it’s becoming tougher and tougher for us to hit him solidly.”

Jim Howell, incidentally, is no run-of-the-mine sparring partner.... Jim is a main bout performer in his own right. . . . Golden Gloves Internationalist in 1936, he has been campaigning with fine success in the professional ranks of late. . . . In his last three starts, he whipped Yustin Sirutis in New York and Obie Walker in St. Louis, and battled to an official 10-round draw with Tiger Jack Fox at Rockland Palace,

New York.

5 on tJ EHIND Gene Tunney's visit to Max Schmeling’s camp at Speculator, N. Y., the other day, is the story of how Bill Osborne's place became a boxing training center. . . . During the war Oshorne was a member of the Fifth Marine Division in France. . . . At Marine Corps bouts he met a young leatherneck light heavyweight named Tunney. . . . Jim Bronson, later associated in the management of Tunney, was one of the men arranging the fights, held in the Y. M. C. A. shacks. Osborne told Gene of the splendid country surrounding his hotel at Speculator, which has been in the family since 1902. . . . Tunney promised that if he'd ever get a chance to fight for the heavyweight title his training site would be Speculator. . . . Gene was as good as his word and prepared there for his winning scrap with Jack Dempsey in 1937... . He also trained there for his final fight with Tom Heeney.

” ®

” o 5 n The appeal that War Admiral has on the racing public was forcibly demonstrated before and after his hard race at Aqueduct last Monday. . . . He was cheered wildly as he pranced to the post, and when he won the patrons extended him one of the grandest tributes ever accorded a thoroughbred. It was the magic of the Admiral’'s name that packed Aqueduct almost to capacity. . . . The betting ring was jammed and there were no seats available in the stands or the clubhouse before the running of the Queen's County Handicap. War Admiral can be as tame as a lamb, although the general impression long has been that he is a mean horse to handle. . . . He didn't budge in his stall while at the post and his perfect manners surprised many. The Gien Riddle Farm’s champion picked up $4,425 to increase his all-time earnings to $236,050 as he galloped the mile in the fast time of 1:36 4-5 while packing 132 pounds on his back.

Lisenbee has been around the baseball Horn and has seen service | with Washington, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Athletics, Buffalo and | Montreal. He resides in Clarksville, Tenn., and will report to the Indians from there after pitching in batting practice at Perry Stadium a couple of nights ago. Two infielders, Jimmy Pofahl and Bobby Mattick, remained at home as the Indians left for Louisville. The former still limps slightly from an ankle injury and the latter has molar trouble which cost him part of his jaw bone yesterday during an | extraction. Milton Galatzer, veteran fly chaser obtained from Los Angeles, was placed on the active list today and accompanied the team to Louisville for the series opener under the lights tonight. The series with the Colonels calls for three games and the Indians will return to Indianapolis Sunday night before hitting out for the second invasion of the West beginning at Kansas City Tuesday. Other roster changes probably will be made before the Tribesters leave for Kawtown late Monday afternoon.
