Braddock's lack of it, when the for

Braddock walked up slowly and
looked at Baer, who stopped a glass

How you, Jimmy?" he said.

Harry Wills Has Praise
for Louis After Seeing
Negro Boxer in Work Out

By United Press
CHICAGO, April 6.-Harry Wills.
the Black Menace who so seriously
embarrassed Jack Dempsey in the
days of his heavyweight boxing
reign, sat at a ringside seat in a
loop gymnasium yesterday and got
his first glimpse of Joe Louis, new
est champion of his race.
He stared, fascinated, as the De-
troit youth punched a sparring
partner around the ring at will with
1O-inch sleep makers. His mouth
broadened to a full grin and his
hands waved.
AT boy has what it takes" Wills
asserted. Hes just natural born
boxer and he's going places. He'll
take Camera and lot more hen
before he's through"
Wills himself once was accounted
by many authorities as the only
fighter who had a chance with
Dempsey during his championship
days. Dempsey never met him.
Wills weighs 245 pounds now, 20
pounds more than when he con-
quered Floyd johnson, Charley
Weinert and Bill Tate. He owns
considerable real estate in New
York.

ship today.
Picard, turned % last month,
started his third round today with
a margin of four strokes over his
nearest adversary. He broke his
own course record of SO in scoring q
81 in the opening round and in the
second test of the tricky national
course was forced to content himself
with a mere So. These two scores
which gave him an aggregate of
135 turned the Augusta event into
something approaching one-man
show.
Olin Dutra Among Leaders
Closest in pursuit as the cream Of
American golf started today's third
round were Gene Sarazen, still the
betting favorite, and Ray Mangrum,
youngster from Los Angeles, each of
whom had 139, and DIN Dutra, Ma
tional Open champion from Los
Angeles, and Jimmy Hines, of New
York, with 140's. Craig Wood, tall
blond star from Deal, N. j., was
within easy striking distance with
al. Three others also were
definitely considered in the running
Willie Goggin of San Francisco,
Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y,
and Walter Hagen, each with 142.
The big disappointment but not
the big surprise was the showing
made by Bobby Jones. Although
the greatest player that ever lived
was given no real chance to win the
tourney which marks his second
competitive test in two years, he
was the big favorite of the Georg-
ians who flock the Augusta Ma
tional course by the hundreds.
Jones has lost none of his popu-
larity despite the scoring which has
placed him at 146, eleven strokes
behind the leader.
Hagen Is Threat After 50
AS far as Bobby Jones is con-
cerned, all that remains to be de-
cided is how far from the winner
he will finish. He put on a great
scoring burst going out yesterday,
but lost his grip on the way in.
One of today's most closely
watched players was Hagen, who
yesterday proved he's still a threat
when he scored SO, second best of
the second round.
Third-round play will be COM
pleted today and the final of the
four rounds will be played Sunday.
