1t seems that Joseph Louis, who
smiles only when tickled, and then
only on special request, has not yet
met a man with enough energy
footpOundS in his mitts to convince
everybody that he should assault
James Jay Braddock, who is the
world champion.
The doingS near the pitchers box
at the ComiSkey ball park tonight
are supposed to settle this, and the
betting is almost 3-to-1 in the af-
firmative, which is to say that Louis
probably will emerge victorious via
a knockout. If he does, he will have
registered his twentieth knockout
in "a professional starts, four en-
gagementS having terminated in de-
CiSionS.
Lasky Next for Louis
II Louis wins tonight he will en-
gage in battle at New York with
Art Lasky of California. He has
date with Lasky, and will keep it
anyway, only the artistry of the af-
fair would be damaged if LevinSky
should do Braddock, since it would
segment the gate from 100000 to
100000.
That would break the heart of
Mike Jacobs, promoter of the New
York scrap, who, because he is a
very aStute ticket Spectator, has
known disappointment only second
hand.
Jacobs is certain to do quite all
right tonight. The fight, originally
scheduled as nothing more import
ant than a pot-boiler to keep Louis
in condition for a major bout later
on, has caught the fancy of the Mid
west fight fans. No fewer than
$4,000 are expected to be packed
in the White Sox ballyard when the
two boys go to the post. More i'm
portant, they are expected to pay
something in the neighborhood of
$250,000 for the privilege.
Five Rounds, Is Prediction
Most of the spectators will be
there early. for nobody expects it
to last more than a few rounds.
LevinSky, serious for the first time
in his life, is in magnificent shape
but his wide-open style, which calls
for a free attack, is considered too
made-to-order for Louis to enable
him to linger more than five rounds.
The King might make a fight of
it for four or five rounds when he's
fresh, but once he starts to fade
the dynamic Negro is expected to
tear him apart.
Both will come in at around 1876
pounds. Louis is bit underweight
due to the extreme heat, which
bothers him greatly, but his hand
lerS say he is in top shape.
The few bettors who are wager
ing on Levinsky are counting on his
habit of rising to important occa-
sions to bring him through. He
has habit of coming through
when he is given little or no chance.

His first work with the Red Cross
came in 1906, when he was drafted
to help administer Red Cross relief
in San Francisco. following the earth
quake. When this was done he re-
turned to his Chicago charity post, but
soon was invited to join the Red Cross
staff. This offer was declined.
Why he refused this offer is ex-
planned by Col Bicknell in his me-
moirs, Pioneering With the Red
Cross" now to be issued by MacMil-

marching. On the northern front,

eral mobilization: Nearly 100000 men
in the North, 100000 in the center
and East, including Adds Ababa,
and nearly half a million electives
in the Southern. Ogaden region.
All these would be equipped with
modern rifles, he said, and nearly
100000 others would have older but
serviceable equipment.

LEAGUE RESTING
IN FIGHT ON WAR
Pause in Geneva May Last
Till Actual Outbreak in
East Africa.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. September 30.-The
League of Nations paused tensely to-
day on the verge of possible momen-
tous decisions in the Italo-Ethiopian
crisis, but indications were that the
pause might persist until some out
break of actual hostilities in East
Africa.
The League Secretariat plunged into
the task of preparing historical sum-
mary of the Italo-E Ethiopian dispute
as far as it has gone, and statesmen
exchanged informal views on what, if
any, sanctions might be feasible in
the event that the dispute developed
into war.
Subcommittee Meets.
A subcommittee of three, delegated
to study the feasibility of sending a
neutral commission of observers to the
trouble zone to determine any war
guilt" on the spot, called a meeting.
Even before its members assembled,
however, an authoritative source said
serious practical difficulties" made it
unlikely that the project would be
undertaken.
These difficulties were understood
reliably to include Italys silence on
the subject of safeguarding the lives
of any neutral observers sent to the
theater of the EaSt-African conflicts.
Hints dropped by Anthony Eden of
Great Britain last week concerning
enforcement of sanctions preventa-
lively under article XI of the cove
nant, without waiting for guns to go
off, fell on barren ground in other
delegations.
Sanctions Hard to Handle.
Even the subject of enforcing sane
tions after any outbreak of hostilities,
observers believe, was proving difficult
to handle.
Objections to trying to put out the
fire before it really starts" came from
various sides.
Even some of the most eager advo-
Gates of sanctions against an aggressor
pointed out that such measures, to be
really effective, must be supported by
the largest possible number of nations
even non-member states, such as
the United States.

250,000 to Be Ready to March.


When the prospective battlefields
are dry enough, military experts esti-
mated, II Duce will have a force of
250,000 Italians along the Ethiopian
borders or moving through Eritrea
and Italian Somaliland toward the
front.
The prospect of something hap
pening" soon was indicated by final
instructions for Mussolini's great
"adunata," or sudden assembly of
100000 Fascists in every public
square in Italy.
The ministry of press and propa-
ganda ordered every radio station to
interrupt its program the instant that
sirens, bells and drums sound the sig
nal for the one-day mobilization.
Every station will be utilized, so
that the assembled millions may hear
II Duce deliver his long awaited mes
sage, which Fascist leaders said was
supposed to be in connection with
some important event-such as the
start of war in Ethiopia.
The Fascist leaders, turning their
attention simultaneously to military
and diplomatic strategy, said they
considered conflict with Great
Britain over the East African crisis
barely possible. but not at all probable.

Bing treasures
One SONG

HOLLYWOOD, June 22.-The
vast majority Of fans who heard
Bing Crosby on his last broadcast
noticed nothing unusual. But a
discerning few probably detected
an unSteadinesS in one of the
songs on that program. This was
the II Surrender Dear" number.
It was the first time Bing had
used it on the air, although it was
the song which way back, when he
was one of the Three Rhythm
Boys with Paul Whiteman's Or
cheStra at the Cocoanut Grove,
started him on the way up.
Bing confessed he almost
choked up on the song and for a
while thought he couldn't finish
At.
This came out yesterday when
Paramount asked the grooming
star to sing the number for their
Big Broadcast of 1885," They
could not understand his refusal
until he explained what came over
him at the broadcaSting station.
He doesn't talk much about his
private feelings but it sincere with
his followers and revealed that if
he cannot bring himself to sing
the song again publically it will
be because of the associations it
has for him.
II Surrender Dear" was the
song he was singing to Dixie Lee
back in those days Of 1928 when
he was counting her. It was writ
ten by his pal, Harry Barris, one
of the Rhythm Boys. Eddie Lang,
his guitarist, who has since died,
treasured it as one of his favorite
melodies. Henry Busse, who was
Paul Whiteman's first trumpeter
in those early days, was there to
hear him broadcast the song for
the first time. It was all these
memories that choked Bing up.
