Wee Duncy didn't even peep. No wonder! He was sound asleep. The others kept on getting sticks until a gnome cried. "stop!s Although the prying may be tough, I'm sure that we now have enough. I'll start to work and I just hope my plan is not a flop"
 The Tinies watched him as he tried to move the big rock to one side. "You're getting nowhere fast" said Windy. Let me try a bit"
 He grabbed the biggest stick he could and soon fair Goldy shouted. Good! Keep on, brave Windy. Pry that rock some more. You're mov- ing it."
 q can't" said Windy. "Tm tired out" And then a gnome jumped up to shout, "I'lI do the final prying. Then we all can walk right through"
 He worked a little while and then the Tinies cheered, him loud- ly, when he cried. "The way is open! Enter, everyone of you!" Copyright, 1885, NEA Service. Inc

The gnome who said he'd save the day cried, "All you tots brings sticks this way. If I'm to pry that big rock loose. I'll need a lot, no doubt.
 s.Some sticks will break before it's done. I'm sure that I'll need more than one, so pile them high, you tots, to help me work this prob- lem out"
 The Tinymites dashed all around and shortly many sticks were found. Wee Duncy brought tiny one, which made the whole bunch roar.
 One gnome exclaimed, That's just like you. You know that stick will break in two. If that's the best that you can do, don't help us any more"
 s..AI, that's just fine" said Duncy. "Gee, I'm as sleep as can be. As long as you don't want my help, III sneak a little nap"
 Then Goldy shouted, "You are smart. The way you dodge work in an art. You framed the whole thing, and the gnome fell right into your trap"

Blackburn and Joe Louis. Their COM
bined minds planned the strategy
and tactics that Joe's fists carried out.
Blackburn is negro who fought Joe
Cans and other masters a generation
ago. In Louis he has an ambitious
pupil with the 1.-the, springy muscles
of a leopard, nerves under perfect
control, wonderful coordination, and a
mind hungry tor boxing wisdom. Be-
sides, Louis has quick, accurate sight.
an inborn gift of balance and swift
nerve reaction to impressions. Nothing
can shake his calm confidence.
These qualities are far more i'm
portant than his six feet of height, his
long reach and his two-hundred-
pound body that moves with the
speed of lightweight Without them,
no amount of training would make
him good boxer; but with them to
begin on, Blackburn has built and put
professional polish on human fight
ing machine of great efficiency. With
Jacks advice between rounds, Joe
varies his strategy so that he bewilders
the enemy. Teamwork in the corner is
a big part of success when boxer and
second have confidence in each other.
Every move Louis makes is Black
burn all over again." says Jack
Cooper, who was matched with Black
burn long ago and studied him with
care. Louis is always driving in,
crowding his man. ready at any
moment to shoot bullet punch into
him that will drop him or jar him to
his heels - snap, not a mere push.
The master mind of the teacher shows
Louis move, and he goes to work to
improve it, Sometimes he betters it a
little. The two work together like
powder and ball, and the fellow they
fight is out of luck, Blackburn knows
all the angles and how to teach. and
Louis is willing student. They are
hard pair to beat"
No matter which way his antagonist
moves. Louis manages to keep inside
of his blows, often stopping them by
shooting in shorter and quicker
punch.
That is why Camera landed only
few scattered blows on Louis, and
none of them shook him. The giants
punches flew like flock of knives a
juggler tosses in the air. but Louis
measured and timed them all as
accurately as juggler, so that he
escaped them. And when Primo tried
his rough stuff with elbows and
wrestling. Louis either skipped aside.
or tied him up, or tossed him against
the ropes.
Many wonder whether the Detroit

promise to nave them A-rayed by the
best surgeons in the country, Baer
took his hands to Johns Hopkins
Hospital. The doctors X-rayed them,
felt them. pulled them this way and
that, probed them, and said:
These hands are all right. All they
need is exercise"
That was jarring jolt, and Baer
was man enough to take it with
grin. So he set to work with dumb
bells, wrist machine and an axe, and
the hands grew stronger and tougher.
The muscles and tendons, fortified by
the new exercise. were able to support
the knuckles, no matter how hard he
hit. The promoters we're not so sure.
Baer invited the promoters to come
and see for themselves. They went to
Spectator. Max flew at the heavy
bag with fighting gloves on his hands,
and ripped into it for more than six
minutes with jabs, jolts, hooks and
swings. Then he hung middleweight
sparring partner on the bag and
pounded it six minutes with every
ounce of power he could throw into
each punch. The moguls we're satisfied.
AS far as hitting power and endur-
ance 60, Max is ready for the battle
of his life. But how about his speed
and skill? All he has shown in his
fights has been speed in short spurts,
stamina and courage under fire, and
knack of pushing his opponent back
with his left hand, so that he could
swing long, looping right fist down
on him - the old meat-axe stroke.
His style has improved, but it is still
doubtful whether he can feint smart
boxer into a position where he can hit
him at will.
Joe Louis is no sparring partner
he is crafty warrior, hard to fool,
though he will fall as quickly as any
of them if Baer happens to land on him
fairly. Joe is, as Gene Tunney truly
says, the greatest twenty-one-year- old
fighter that ever lived, and he has
hypnotized the crowd by his victories
thus far. Still, he is like a colt that has
proved himself a fine stake-horse but
has not been tested enough to be
sure he is champion.
Carnera, with his enormous ad-
vantage of height, reach and sixty
four pounds of weight, did not have
enough skill to extend Louis. Baer
will give him much harder fight
Yet, in avoiding Primo's blows and
knocking him out so quickly, Louis
showed skill, poise and ability to hit
from any angle with the speed of
cobra and the smash of a python.
Two men beat Camera - Jack

bomber can stand up under punish
ment and fight on to victory. That
question has been answered. at least
in part. The only time Louis has been
knocked down. he says, was in his
first amateur fight. He was punched
down seven times in the first two
rounds, but always got up unruffied;
and outpointed his man in the third
round, though he lost the decision.
Amateurs usually do not put the
bullet-like snap into their blows that
will knock man cold; still, novice
who gets off the floor seven times and
then hits faster and harder certainly
does not weaken under fire.
Battles are won not so much by
what man does in training as by
the way he lives between fights. The
constant strain of keeping in prime
condition. Gene Tunney told me, was
one of his reasons for giving up the
title. Theatre-going. fine dinners, etc,
were out Vi the question.
Louis cares for none of these things.
Only twenty-one years old, he is
devoted to his family and has no
taste for night life. An hour after he
finished Carnera, he kept his promise
to show himself in a Harlem cafe.
Worshippers swarmed around him,
and scores of extra policemen were
keeping order in the happy, roaring
mobs near by. Louis endured the
revelry for few minutes, yawned and
said, Excuse me, friends. I've got to
get some sleep"
And he has lived modestly and
quietly ever since. No JOY rides or
whoopee. His mentor, John Rox-
borough, negro lawyer who has won
wealth and political power in Detroit,
counsels him about discreet behavior.
If Louis keeps his head, he will be a
great help in the movement to elevate
his race. He already has won public
respect, in the ring and out of it.
But will it be Baer or Louis? Well,
Louis has thus far shown the greater
Furnishing power and ring generalship,
but there is still some doubt as to
whether he can take it. Baer has
proved his ability to fight on under
heavy pounding, but he is not as
clever as the negro. Still If he should
land one of his heavy punches. he'll
be as great hero as John L. Sullivan:
Gene Tunney believes that Louis
will be the next champion. Jack
Dempsey says Braddock is the man
to stop him. Max Baer says he will
lick them both. One thing is certain
these three are the best fighters in
sight since Gene Tunney hung up his
gloves.

JUDGE BUSINESSES
 CELINA'S APPEAL
Aerial Photos Featured in Case Over Gasoline
 Station Site

The appeal of Leonal Gelinas from the action of the Seiectmen of the Town of Prospect in refus. ing to grant him a permit to erect gasoline station in the center ot Prospect, was dismissed by Judge Frederick M. Peasley in superior court today. The case is import ant in that 1t was the first one in the history of the Waterbury courts that airplane photographs were used in evidence.
 Judge Peasley stated in dismiss- ing the petition that the Prospect selectmen were within their rights in refusing the permit because of the ramifications that would have arisin. He said the site desired was not the place for a station. The station would have been erected at right angles to an important cross road in Prospect and the building would have blocked the view oi motorists approaching the inter- section from opposite directions, Judge Peasley said.
 The airplane photos were intro duced by Attorney Richardson T. Bronson, counsel for the Select men. They were taken by Captain Frank Wright, local aviator. from distance of 5000 feet In the air'
