 New York, June 20.-(UP)-If, on the morrow, you read that the badly battered body of an uniden- tified man in his late twenties was found by police outside the St. Moritz hotel last night, don't start fretting whether 1t was your Uncle Willie or Cousin Ned or the fel- low that owed you 5 dollars.
 It will be none of them. The body will belong to me. In fact, 1t will be my own personal body, the same tawny, muscled, freckled framework which have cherished these many years. tell you this because I want to ask of you fa- vor--after this unidentified chassis is laid away will one of you please start a memorial subscription q recommend pennies by schoolchil- dren) and have placed above me a simple slab, bearing the simple epitaph:
 "He accepted!"
 Perhaps should explain. Today there was laid on my desk by young man wearing the trappinEs of the Western Union, a telegram from James Joy (Jackanapes) Johnston of Madison Square Car den. It read:
 we would like you to attend the testimonial dinner to James J. Braddock heavyweight champion of the world tonight June goth, St. Moritz Continental Grill. s:30 sharp stop You will be asked to make a short talk"
 In a moment of brashness ac- cepted: Told Johnston I'd be there. Which, being a man of my word, means that tonight, in the presence of Braddock, hundreds of his rabid fans, and scores of sportswriters who, two seconds after his hand was raised in victory, boldly picked him to win, I, who called him a tramp fighter who with a brick in each hand couldn't fight his way out of a greenhouse, must stand up and make . speech.
 Now that I've accepted I have only two worries. One is my life. The other Is what the hell I'm go- ing to say. The dinner is informal so I guess I should simply slip on my double-breasted, two-pair,of- pants blue serge. But I've got safety to think about. owe 1t to my wife, my parents. my creditors. and those of you who are counting 50 heavily on me to name the win ner between Louis and Camera, to protect myself.
 Frankly, I'm torn between two disguises, CD That of a leather up- holstered love seat with mahogany arms and CD A deep-sea diver. 1 rather fancy myself as leather upholstered love seat with mahog- any arms, for 1t not only gives me youthful curves that I now lack in sad abundance, but also provides me with something substantial un- der which to crawl if the disguise should be penetrated by Braddock and his friends. Too, q love seat Is more comfortable than diving bell.

Grange Still Smart

In turning down the head coaching job for the Chicago B ,ars professional football club, Harold Red Grange, erstwhile "Galloping Ghost of Illinois" not only gave someone on the club a break, but did the smart thing himself, for he seems to be already aware of the fact that a star coach and a star player are two very dif- ferent situations and that one does not necessarily follow the other. Grange wants to coach the backs alone, because that work is what he understa nds best, having gained more than 8 yards every time he carried the hall in the past 13 years during 237 games for $500 points, including 531 touch- downs, total gains of 32,S20 yards on 4,01S gallops. He wants coaching experience first before he qualities as a head coach which indicates quite clearly that there's plenty un- derneath that red hear besides a scalp.

LOUIS MANAGERS ASSURE ALL JOE
 ! CAN TAKE IT
Detroit Negro Sensation Got Off Floor Seven
 Times in One Bout

Pompton Lakes, N. U, June sO.-- The question of whether or not Joe Louis can ''take it. draws a loud chuckle from John Roxbor- ough, co-manager with Julian Black of the brown bomber, who clashes with Primo Camera at the Yankee Stadium the night of June 25.
 "Joe hasn't had to take it. very often, l" says Peterborough, "but there are . few incidents in his career that, I think, definitely establish his ability on this score.
 ''In his very first amateur bout, he proved beyond doubt that he has the necessary 'guts'. He was green, awkward novice and was pitted against Johnny Miller, an experienced campaigned who had been boxing. three years and was rated one of the best light-heavies around Detroit. Joe naturally was nervous at the start, and before he knew what happened Miller clipped him on the chin with a terrific right and Joe went down. But he wouldn't stay down. Seven times in two rounds he was sent sprawl ing. But he kept getting up and in the third and final round he came on from behind to give Miller a thorough lacing.
 In Bad shape
 "Then, when he went to St. Louis for the National A. A. U. cham pionships in April, 1884, he was nursing a fractured knuckle on his left hand and a flock of boils un- der each arm. The officials in charge of the tournament refused to let him compete. But Joe pleaded so earnestly that they fi- nally, though reluctantly, consented to let him start. And Joe went on to score three knockouts to win the lightheavy title.
 "In one of his early professional bouts, Joe fought a chap in Chi cago named Otto Borchuk, . ter- rife puncher from Canada. Bor. chuk nailed Joe with murderous right handler in the fourth round, and Joe was hurt. But instead of clinching or backing up, he tore right into Borchuk--and few seconds later Otto was stretched out cold.
 ''No, don't think there's any question of Joe Louis ability to take tiff he has to. But, being very religious young man, he be- lieves implicitly in that biblical saw that 'tis better to give than to receive. And, as 'giver', he is a very generous boy, indeed, as MT. Camera is duo to discover"
