FROM THE PRESS BOX
Bout With Basque Incidental to Louis
as He Looks Ahead to BraddOck Brush.

BY JOHN LARDNER

won't be nervous, like them other
fellas.
He'll be in there usin' his head
and body every way he knows how
and bein' a rough man, he'll take a lot
Of handlin' But Joe can handle him
He won't have no trouble stoppin' this
man."
Joe's sparring partners have beer
instructed to rough Joe up in training
(within the limits of discretion) and
work for his body, which is expected
to be the target of the fun-loving
Basque. There's something a bit
comical about the spectacle of Joe's
Sparring partners trying to rough him
up. It's like a jackal under orders
to chew the ear of a tiger. The per-
formance has a good deal of coyness
about it, to say nothing of downright
reluctance.
But the chances are that Joe
doesn't require technical training
for any fight, however tough.
He was born with an instinct for
fighting which should enable him to
size up the Basque's quaint maneuvers
in a few minutes time and work out
his own counter attack. He plays by
ear.
The more you watch Louis, the
surer you are that this fight won't &C
the limit. He hits his spar mates a.
will, and his spar mates are far more
aloof and agile than the Basque
There seems to be nothing under tht
sun which can prevent Joe from
sketching a dotted line on Paulinoi
anatomy and cutting along that lint
until he comes out on the other side
So the boys around camp can b,
pardoned for skipping lightly over tn,
Uzcudun fight and discussing tht
future. They don't even worry abou
Friday the thirteenth. and when figh
people don't worry about Friday tn,
thirteenth, you know they either ar
dead confident or just plain dead.

Hands at Meeting of Moguls

by George Sisler, great star with the
Browns during his playing years, a
group of st. Louis business men has
made passes at purchasing the fran
chise from the estate of the late Phil
De C. Ball.
OF greater interest to the man who
pays his money at the gate will be the
unraveling of reports of trades and
sales. Connie Mack. dean of major
league base ball men, will be most
closely watched in this connection. A
number of his Philadelphia Athletics.
including Jimmy Foxx, de luxe hitter
and first baseman. have been reported
up for swap or sale. Foxx already has
been sold unoficially to the Boston
Red Sox and Chicago White Sox and
may wind up with one or the other
before the week ends.
Detroit and Chicago finally may get
together on some arrangement where
by AL Simmons will go to the world
champions from the White Sox. Rog-

who has a reputation as shrewd
dealer in base ball flesh, is expected
to attempt to strengthen his club,

has little to offer now beyond dura-
bility.
The Tough Ones.
WHO have been the toughest Of
w all the fghterS-the most du-
rable?
Joe Grim made a good living having
his system hammered into a pulp
without taking the count.
Bat Nelson, the durable Dane, was
about as tough a target as any op-
ponent ever nailed. I saw him in one
fight, two knuckles on his right hand
badly swollen, having turned dark
blue, and yet he kept on punching
with this hand as II he had on an
iron glove
Nelson took the worst beating in
the history of the ring from Ad VOL
gast. And he took it for over 40
rounds. Through the last 10 rounds
of this fight the Dane was so badly
blinded that he couldn't see 10 inches
His face was crimson smear But
the fight ended with Nelson still
cropping for Wolgast. trying to land
another blow from the dark
Nelson took the worst 1o-year
punishment in sport.
He told me once that the only time
he had ever really been hurt happened
when he was five years old. "A
miner hit me over the head with an
iron bar" he said. It had a head
ache for nearly two hours"
Herrera, the Mexican, killing
puncher. hit Nelson and turned him
over in the air before his head struck
the canvas. Il was out cold for six
rounds" the Dane said, but I finally
won. There was the hardest hitter
for his weight that ever lived"
Among the heavyweights I'd say
that Jim Jeffries and Jack Dempsey
were the hardest to hurt. They we're
about two-thirds cast iron. Fitzsim-
mons smashed up both hands on JEFF
fries chin without stopping his march.
There wasn't 10 per cent of the real
Jeffries left when he fought Jack
johnson.
Jack Dempsey once got off the floor
10 or II times to finish in front. He
took the famous Firpo and Carpenter
right hands on the jaw without
buckling
'T'lI never forget that first
punch FirpO hit me-" Jack said
recently. 81 can almost feel 1t
now
Gene Tunney proved how much he
could take in his first fight with
Harry Greb. Johnny Risko was an
other entry that few could ever hurt.
And Greb was no cream puff. In
their last meeting Tunney hit Greb
hard enough and often enough to
knock out three men. but the human
hurricane was still in there swinging
at the finish.

As Good as Finished.

TO ALL intents and purposes, the
Uzcudun fight is finished. Some
tickets remain to be sold, and the rou-
tine job of whipping Pauline remains
to be done, but Mike Jacobs already
is peering into the future So are
Louis and his managers. The fearful
and imminent menace Of Senor Uzcu-
dun has about the same effect on
JoeS sleep as a dose of morphine.
I do not say this with the idea of
annoying Senor Uzcudun, who puts
a loftier estimate on his own ability
to punch and take it.
L am simply describing the atti.
tude Of the Louis camp.
Now and then. some one mentions
Pauline, and the boys talk him over,
but they pass swiftly from that to
Joe's future, financial and artistic
Joe is training here for the fights To
come, as well as for Pauline.
But If you press him, the bomber
will consent to say few words about
his next target. He hasn't learned
yet to pronounce the proud Castilian
surname Of "UZcudun." He calls the
fellow "Pullino" and let's it go at that
AS a matter of fact, Joe never heard
of this guy until the match was made
They say he's pretty tough" said
Joe. Take a man that's hard to hurt
in the stummick and head and you
got a tough fight on your hands. And
they say he's got left hook. Well. a
left hook amt never bothered me none,
but I expect some trouble putin him
away. You got to be careful with your

~ HICAGO, December 9.-Major
league base ball men, officials,
club owners and managers
~ were limbering up leg muscles
today and testing the direction of
trade winds in preparation for the
opening of the annual Winter meet
ing tomorrow.
The leg exercises were training
moves for hours of standing in hotel
lobbies and hustling back and forth
between hotels This year instead OF
holding the National and American
League sessions under one roof each
has headquarters in different hotel.
The National Leagues foremost
problem was the Boston Braves. The
Braves. financial losers for several
seasons and heavily in debt, passed
from the control of Judge Emil Fuchs
recently and must be reorganized COM
pletely before the 1886 season. The
club now is ward of the league but
probably will be taken over by a group
headed by Bob Quinn, veteran base
ball man.
An American League club, the st.
Louis Browns, also may pass to new
ownership during the meetings. Led
