 If Mussolini's African legions were to invade Ethiopia in September, as some military observers predict, they would strike at a country cele- brating its New Year.
 Ethiopias New Years day falls on September II.
 The Abyssinian army" writes a British historian, is in effect prac- tically the Abyssinian people, for with the exception of priests and monks every man is an actual or potential soldier-love of fighting is in his blood"
 It Rains Torrents
 September looms as the likely time for invasion because of the peculiar weather conditions that govern the whole of Ethiopia. The country has two seasons, in the main-Baga, which is the dry sea- son, from September to mid-June; 1; and K'aramth, the wet, rainy sea- son Of three and a half months, from mid-June to the end of Sep tember.
 When it rains it pours' is an un- derstatement when applied to Ethi- opia. The rain comes down in tor rents and turns primitive roads into raging streams and rivers. War time maneuvers are impossible un- der such conditions.
 Ethiopia's Boundaries
 Modern Abyssinia is believed to be composed of three races-the Hamites of north and northeast Africa; a Semetic strain because of invasion from Arabia; and a Ni- gritic element introduced by inter marriage with conquered negro tribes. For centuries they have beat en back invasion after invasion, and in modern times have inflicted severe defeats on Egypt and Italy.
 Emperor Menelik, whose army crushed the Italians in 1896, made boundary treaties with England, France and Italy. The realm now ruled by Halle Selassie, the Con- quering Lion of Judah," consists of Abyssinia on the north and cen ter; the alla country in the south and southwest; the, negro and ne- groid country of the west; on the east the Moslem tribes and in the southeast the Ogaden Somals. The rulers of Abyssinia, or as the peo- pie prefer to call it, Ethiopia, claim descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
 The Abyssinians form third of the population. Tie Gala invad- CTS of the sixteenth century were subdued by successive Abyssinian kings, and their conquest was com pleted by Menelik, who added con- siderable territory to his realms.

Baef's Right, Louis Left Promise
Loudest Decorations in Big Bout
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

him from the start, Louis is ready to
throw either hand from a perfect
balance, and Baer's best chance Is to
upset this balance by outcrowding
Louis with a fast, savage offensive
charge that might upset the Bomber's
better boxing skill.
II Baer comes out like a bounding
Berserk, anything might happen, and
happen in a hurry. Both hit too hard
for any rough h-and-tumble to go many
rounds.
As long as Louis can throw punches
from that perfect, shutting balance,
he has all the advantage in speed,
boxing skill, a shorter firing range
and two hands against one. Max may
sail that right hand into port. but he
takes a big gamble each time he
starts it against fast left inside hook
that might as well carry grenade.
Old Times Back.
MORE important than the fight
AVA itself is the return Of old times
that many figured had passed out
forever where the woodbine climbs
and the w-hangdoodle mourns.
Another Sl,000.000 pageant with
capacity crowd has returned to the
scene for the first time In eight long,
lean years.
There will be no Dempsey -Tunney
fow Of gold, when more than $2,000,-
600 was picked up in sack at
Philadelphia, and above $2,600, 900 at
Chicago q year later. But there will
be more than 100000 spent on
tickets for this tight and there will
be more than 10000 people packed in
from the outfield fences to the ropes
when Baer and Louis square away.
Fight crowd capacity ct the Yankee
Stadium passes the 10000 mark and
there will be few vacant spots.
This crowd will arrive early enough
to see Buddy Baer work against Ford
Smith. This is the year Of the big
brothers in sport-the two Deans, the
two Ferrells, and now the two Baers,
with big Buddy card in his own
right. Also in his left.
A fight crowd can sense action
from . long way of-even as far
away 40 California, where they
have been swarming through the
air like pigeons on their way 10

SO cents right back in your pocket.
Tons Of paper and great gobs Of
ink have been utilized In detailing
the comparative merits Of the two
flsticuffers, but the only worthwhile
advance dope on tonight's battle is
the same as for all that have gone
before and all to come, to wit: Don't
bet on prize fights"
It was only few short months ago
that this same Baer entered the ring
an odds-on einch to win as he pleased
against o fellah named Braddock and
emerged not only bereft of the for
tune world championship means. but
practically disgraced. so miserable was
his showing.
What license has so pugiiistically
decadent a bum, weakened by riotous
living, to even hope for victory against
a fresh youngster Of model habits who
can outlook, outslug and outspeed him?
Well, you might be surprised. for

Of decisive triumphs by boxf1ghters

might be hopeful Of seizing the

to disappointment because we hon.

we had the wherewithal to do it.
If, however, your interest involves
no financial risk and you merely want
to know who should win, it's Louis.

with instructive reactions, whereas
Baer doesn't possess even synthetic
science.
Louis can wallop wickedly with both
fists travelling less than q foot, while
Makes only lethal weapon Is tele-
graphed overland right.
In conditioning Joe Is bound to have
a huge edge because he never has
been out Of shape. with Baer having
sought to undo in six weeks Of real
training the damage accumulated
over nearly as many years Of primrose
parading.
And this furnishes the answer
anent comparative stamina and dura-
bility which will become increasingly
important as the scrap gets older-if
it does.
All these assets would seem to be
plenty for the purpose, but there is
one consideration that hasn't been
catalogued-yet-and that Is Louis
gameneSs.
There is no reason to question the
lads courage, it's simply that in the
little more than a year he has been
fighting professionally it's never been
tested.
Baer's shortcomings do not include
tender whiskers nor o sensitive stom-
ach, for anyone who has been COM
PEELED to absorb the punishment
handed him, even while he was win

What will be the reaction of Louis,
accustomed to see his foes wilt when
he wallops 'em, If he lands his Sab

the concrete jaw Of this man who has
never been knocked of his feet?
