For if Joe merely makes Levinsky
do now-I-lay-m along the pattern
followed when Primo Camera was
driven out of the big time, the
skeptics still will ask if Louis can
take it.
The chances for delivery of one
of those fish pier rights are dis
tinctly bright. The Kingf1sh, for
the first time in his life, has trained
with at least a Semblance Of Seri-
BUSINESS. The Chicago fight patrol
who have followed Levinsky through
his weeks af practice insist he's
ready for the fight of his life.
Betting along the loop held firm
ly at 2i2 to l, favOring Louis, and
there seemed little likelihood of any
drastic shift by tomorrow night.
Louis looks like a very good thing
at such a price. But there is just
enough chance that an uncharted
Levinsky smash might land to keep
the Negroes whopper- uppers from
going any higher.
An informal poll of the profess
sional fight followers of Chicago and
New York made it seem certain that
Louis would win, just as it was sure
that Max Baer would trounce James
j. Braddock, who went on to lift
Makes world title.
The seat sale has gone we'll past
the $4,000 mark and the original
estimates of 100000 don't seem
fantastic. The cheapest seats-S240
go on sale today and probably will
be gobbled up by shutdown. This
would add some $4,000 to the pres
ent take, leaving the promoters a
full day and the fight night itself
in which to cop the remaining So
odd thousand.
Even if not more than a few scat
tered blocks are sold between now
and fight time Levinsky stands to
get one of the biggest purses of his
checkered career. He's in for 20 per
cent of the net, with Louis getting
80.
Louis and LevinSky rested today
at nearby private home. They will
come into town tomorrow for
weigh-ins and examinations. Louis
is expected to come in at 195 and
LevinSky at 1877.
The Louis-Levinsky fight is al
most the sole conversation topic
here. The fight will start about
$3.50 p. M, central standard time.
There will be no broadcast.

XMAS PROGRAM
Business And Residential Sec.

The merchants of Pocomoke are
engaged in putting into effect an
elaborate program for the month of

within few days in the business Sec
ton of the town. Laurel ropes will
connect lamp posts. These will be
entwined with hundreds of colored

said they have had no work at all

They said there was no strike.
They declared that they were
promised work, rain or shine, on the
canal contract jobs, but that many
of them have averaged only from SIS

weeks and further are frequently re-
ferred to by their bosses from New

The workers said that although
only few Of the Delaware laborers
were working this week on the Ellis
contract the laborers from New Jer-
ey, hired in larger numbers than re-
lief regulations governing the work
permit, are working full time. A lab
orer with Richards and Kelly, another
canal contractor, said he had made
only $1.5O this week and had to pay
Is cent for transportation to and
from the job.
In an effort to adjust the situa-
ton, the representatives Of the group
said they had asked for a flat rate
of $18 week, but the contractors re-
fused. The men did not blame the
contractors for not working the

them from doing so at profit, but

relief officials should make some adj
justment of the situation which pre-
vented labor from getting fair wage.
The men said they would prefer
hand labor work on the canal, with
transportation furnished and an as
sured wage of $45 a month.
About 70 men from the Ellis con-
tract attended the meeting. Men on
other contracts said they were SINH
larly affected.
There were several laborers, being
paid at the rate of As cents an hour,
present and they declared that their
condition was even worse than that

the rate of $3.50 a week, tractor OPP
orators at $21 week; truck drivers,
$3.50 and laborers, $3.50. The rate
is sufficient if they could get the
hours in, the men said, but under
existing conditions, which they said
were getting worse, they are unable
to secure funds to keep themselves,

FOOTBALL SEASON
FINAL CONTESTS
ON SATURDAY
Army And Navy, And Yale And
Princeton Hold The Spot
light Of The Grid

Tomorrow, Saturday, will wind up
the college football season, and the
outstanding game, as ever, will be
the tilt between the Army and the
Navy, to be staged on Franklin Field,
University Of Pennsylvania.
Some Of the experts are favoring
the Navy to win, but when the scores
with Princeton and Notre Dame are
considered, the Army has the call.
Both Princeton and the "Irish" had
their hands full with the West Point
ers, but the Annapolis boys fell easy
prey to those two great teams.
However, the Sailors always seem to
