Course Is TOughened.

Al HOUGHTON, Indian Spring ma
n jor domo, thinks he has tough
ened up the golf course to the point
where the scoring is going 10 be
much higher than it was last year
at Five Farms, where five Washing
ton boys made the grade and the top
qualifying figures we're l55.
But when they get through with In
dian Spring at the end of that 36-hole
test August 20 it will look like any
other golf course. 1t probably will
take 155 again to make the grade, and
if the ground is hard at that time it
may take l54.
Houghton predicts that l44 will not
be touched by the winner, the guy
who gets the pretty little gold medal
the U. S. G. A. hands out to the leader
in each section round.
But IA probably will be made, and
may be beaten. Indian Spring is
tough enough. what with those mar
rowed fairways and its length of
around $500 yards, but there isn't
enough trouble around the green's to
stop cold such lusty bunch Of par
busters as those who will gather here.

Baer.L0uis Bout Is Seen Best
Since Golden Era of BOxine @
BY ALAN GOULD,

N YEW YORK, August 9.-There
N no longer can be the faintest
" doubt in the minds of the
fistic followers that Joe Louis
has it," meaning that he has the
punch and all-around ring qualifica-
tions to become the next world heavy
weight champion-if and when he
gets the chance.
Solely on his record the Brown
Bomber is an absolute standout in
the heavyweight ranks. He is the
hardest hitter since Jack Dempsey
and apparently a better finisher.
If Louis disposes of Max Baer
there will remain not the slightest
question as to the logical challenger
for the crown plucked from Baer's
erratic locks by James J. Braddock.
Just how, when and where Brad
dock and Louis might be brought to-

up with the Mike Jacobs Twentieth

Bob Davis, who has been a keen
fight follower since Fitzsimmons
knocked out Jim Corbett sat in a
state of dazed astonishment all eve
ming. Bowker's patter sounded like
machine gun fire.
His eyeballs buIgsd an inch
or more from their sockets.
But his two hands working the
big towel were even faster.
At the end of the minutes inter-
mission Bowker was more exhausted
than any of his fighters, but he had
three minutes in which to recuperate
where they had only one. Unlike
most seconds, he was quite placid
when the actual fighting was taking
place.
When Johnny Buckley was handling
Jack Sharkey, Buckley had to be a
high-class tackler and blocking back
as well as a second. No all-American
star ever did a better piece of block
ing than Buckley did the night Jack
Sharkey tried to jump out of the ring
in his first Carnera fight, after a
releree's decision that got most of
Sharkey's wellknown goats.
There also is the other side. The
most placid exhibition ever given came
from Luis Firpo's young South Amer

Famous Seconds. Handlers.
TINE big show isn't always inside
the ropes. For example, King
fish Levinsky is no small show
Il on his own part, but he is out
classed by his chief second-the same
being Leaping Lena, his sister, second
trainer, guide, philosopher and some
times friend.
In this respect Leaping Lena and
the Chicago Kingflsh make the out
standing contribution to pugilism and
family life, rolled into one main act.
I've seen Abe Attell, acting as a
second, throw 10 times as many
punches as his fighter ever heaved
In the course of a 3-minute round
Abe is completely worn out from duck
ing, jabbing, hooking, slipping. rolling,
weaving and the rest of the chart.
I've seen one of Abe's fighters
walk to the corner without taking an
extra breath as Attell keeled over,
requiring sniff of the ammonia
bottle and an extra towel.
If one of Abe AtteIl's fight
ers ever went 20 rounds, Attell
would need two ambulances.
Art Winch, who handles both Bar
ney Ross and King Levinsky, also
keeps as busy as his fighters.
One of the hardest workers and
seconds in any ring is John La Rowe,
coach, trainer and head man of Vir-
ginia's unbeaten boxing team, with a
phenomenal 5-year record
John La Rowe's Virginia boxing
teams have faced % dual meets with
out a setback-being tied just once
which is something of record. And
John, who is now over so, probably
is the hardest-working member of the
team once the bell rings and action
starts.
In spite of these famous
entries, Leaping Lena has an
art which is all her own.
She has a voice that carries high
wide, handsome and unmistakable
She knows her boxing and she, knows
her King.
There were times when Bill Null
doom needed base ball bat to han
die John L. Sullivan in the old days
but Leaping Lena has handled the
Kingfish with perfect control that
finds the center of an eyeball. She
had no need of a base ball bat, much
less a spear or a gat. There always
are subtle outlets, apart from brute
force.

r TOW great is. Joe Louis, the
IL black Mamba of the pugilistic
jungle, when 1t comes to the
n n matter of form, style and
technique, to the essential ingredi-
ents, to all the fundamentals that
make an outstanding star?
There is only one answer. He Is
in a class all alone. He has the
great mixture, which is speed and
power combined. He has in addition
exceptional skill. He has the light
ming refiexes that make a champion.
When you throw speed, power, skill
and native instinct into one lump
you get most of the answer.
Courage Yet Improved.
MOT all of it, but most of it. You
still don't get the answer that
concerns the top form of competi-
ton under heavy fire. Louis is so
good that this point may never be
proved until he starts to slip. He
has come to one of the tallest peaks
of sport without actually facing an
opponent Of real class.
We know now everything about Joe
Louis, except one thing-what would
happen in the midst of a storm in
rough surf under a withering fire?
Neither Primo Camera nor King
Levinsky was able to bring about
any such proof. Both Camera and
Levinsky were muddlers, without any
science. Both were overawed by a
master who had them completely out
classed. But even this did not take
away from Louis the glamour of a
man who has all the essentials that
make a great fighter.
1t may not be important to be a
great fighter in the ring. To me
it is important to be the top in
anything one starts.
Louis is something more than a
great fighter. He is one of the great
artists in the profession he follows
for he adds grace and style to al
the main fundamentals needed.
