But the relief from the fog

there was little damage.

The usual call at the Blood
Donors Benevolent Association,
which employs the army" is for
about a pint Of blood from each
every six weeks-at $35 a click.
To qualify, the lads must be over
II and under 80, must be in "the
pink" always, and have body
mechaniSns that produce a fifth
Of . pint Of new blood every
week.
It's one league the women
can't crash. Women, says an Of
ficial, aren't accepted, because as
he explained with no attempt to
be gallant or otherwise:
They're bad risks. They
faint too often"
At one time, loss Of blood in an
accident was the principal reason
for the plea, "a good donor,
quick!"
Now, it is commonplace in
cases where only slight loss Of
blood is involved.
And that is where these $357a-
pint lads come in.

A BEARS NIGHT-OUT

GORIZ IA, Italy G.N.SO.
Panic reigned through the coun-
trySide when it became known
that Marco, bear in a travelling
circus, had escaped from his cage.
AS night drew on, and Marco
was still at large, mothers kept
their children at home, doors
were locked, windows securely
bolted, and dwellers in desolate
places sat up with guns in their
hands. Marco, however, having
spent the entire night sleeping
peacefully in a field, walked back
to his cage quietly at breakfast
time next morning.

THIS WEEK

He felt that Baer had outwitted him
and that there was nothing he could
do about it. Max is a great actor. 1t is
easy to believe that with his quick
mind and play-acting skill, he might
talk Braddock out of chance to beat
him, if Jim gets him in a bad way.
Ready wit has saved many a fighter
from calamity.
Max and Jimmy both have fought
clever Tommy Loughran, and COM
parison of their performances gives
fair measure of their skill - though
not of course, picture Of what they
will do against each other. Tommy is
not only one of the fastest men in the
ring but one of the wisest. Every time
Baer telegraphed in advance of his
fierce swing, Tommy slipped aside and
let Max punch the air.
That bout was more like a teacher
giving a boxing lesson than a fight.
Loughran set the pace. kept pecking
Baer with his left fist, threw him off
balance and ran him wild
In one of the rounds - the fifth or
sixth, think - Baer stood there
puzzled, with frown on his fore
head, as he looked at Loughran
dancing away. Max threw out his
hands on either side and grinned good
naturedly, as if he were asking. why
the dickens can't hit this fellow"
His sense of the ridiculous came to his
rescue, and he laughed and clowned
instead of worrying over his failure to
do any damage; but Loughran out
pointed him completely and won the
decision in the ten rounds. And
Tommy was smaller then than Brad

Jim Braddock made much better
showing than Baer in his fifteen
round battle with Loughran in 1929.
At that time Tommy was at least as
fast as he was against Baer three
years later. and probably a little
faster; but Braddock's footwork and

docks - fine training, much better
than night club entertaining - and
steadily fighting his way upward. He
was so poor that he had to take $3OOof
public relief, but he soon paid it back.
Then he got his big chance few
months ago when he beat Art Lasky
and took his place as challenger for
the championship.
Braddock has been telling his wife
for the last year that he is going to
fetch home the title of champion of the
world. Their sons - Jay. six years old,
and Howard, five - have overheard
the word so often that they believe
the title is wonderful toy he is going
bring them, After each of his fights this
year they have asked him, Daddy,
did you get us that title?" and tiny
two-year-old sister Rose Marie has
looked up and echoed, Title? Title?"
On the morning after the Lasky
fight the children were more persistent
than ever.
Got the title, Daddy?" Jay asked.
mot yet, kids" Jim replied; but
next time, sure!'
This battle will be the next time he
spoke of. Jim's promise to his young
sters will help him lot - if it doesn't
make him over-anxious. His rugged,
grim persistence. plus the boxing skill
he has shown of late, will make him a
hard man to beat. Baer is twenty
pounds heavier and hits a harder blow
If and when it lands. They are of
the same height Braddock's footwork
and generalship are better than Baer's.
Max is the quicker-witted of the
two. as you can see by what happened
in the Madison Square Garden office
a few days before the match was made.
Braddock pushed through the crowd,
looking mad enough to bite, and glared
at Baer.
Did you say you wouldn't take me
on because no one would pay to see me
fight?" he growled, scowling at Baer
as if he were going to smash him.
"Ho! Ho! Ho." Max roared out his
great laugh and clapped his hand on
Jim's shoulder. did you fall for that?
Ho. Ho! Ho! l said that because |
thought it would help me duck out of a
match with you. think you're the
most dangerous guy that has chal-
lenged me"
Braddock was pacified but still sore.

lived with him for many weeks. and
Gene spent his off hours discussing the
new books of the day. We slept in a
separate cottage by ourselves; the
nearest thing to radio being classic but
soothing melodies on the gramophone.
Dempsey was careful. too; but play
boy Max laughs at care.
Jimmy Braddock has his radio en-
gagements, too - what family man
could resist the call of the CASH. but
his program includes plenty of rest
as we'll as hard work. 1t is hard to
believe that a fighting man who has
been before the public for years can
be SO quiet. so reserved, really shy and
retiring. He is just a nice Irish boy
from New Jersey, laborer from his
youth up. who went into the ring to
add little to his scanty earnings as a
longshoreman. But his belief in him
self is absolute. He was amateur
champion of New Jersey for two years.
Early in his career he broke his right
hand in fight and the bones did not
knit properly. A skillful surgeon Of
fered to repair the break for 1000,
but Jim was so poor that the price
might as well have been million. In
his next battle, he softened Steve
Swiderski with left jabs. and patiently
waited for just the opening he wanted
- then knocked him cold with right
on the chin that broke the hand. He
had it set for a very small fee.
He ran into losing streak after
that. and could not get any more
matches. He married seven years ago,
and needed more money than he could
make on the docks; so he began to pick
up few dollars by going on in pre-
liminary bouts, improving all the time.
When Carnera knocked out the giant
Pat Redmond in Brooklyn in 1881,
Braddock beat a good man very
handily in the last "prelim."
There's a fellow who will be
champion of the world if he gets the
chance" Gene Tunney said to me at
the ringside. Incidentally, Braddock is
as big now as either Tunney or
Dempsey was at his best. Nothing is
harder than for a man who has been
down to come back. Managers say he
won't draw the crowd, so he must be
thankful for hard fight and little pay.
