LOUIS To TOUR
EUROPE IN
AL TUMN
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, July Aloe Louis,
the man with the piebald stare,
is to sail for England and the
Continent, accompanied by his
managers, John Black and John
RoXborough, Immediately after
the proposed meetings here with
Max Baer and Max Schmeling
this fall.
If there are no meetings here
this fall with Schmeling and Baer,
which now seems likely, the young
man may advance the date Of
sailing to a few weeks after the
King LevinSky fight in Chicago.
1t isn't to be sightseeing
tour, either. Like the great white
Sullivan of another and distant
generation--he is going abroad to
fight, with London, Paris and
Berlin as the immediate scene Of
these activities.
That was one development in
the affairs of the 21-year-old
sharp-shooter today.
To Marry When Champ
Another was the tip that this
strange colored boy is to be mar
ried as soon as he wins the title,
which will be no sooner than
Champion James J. Braddock and
other white heavyweightS can be
prevailed upon to subject them
selves to that raking left hook and
deadly right cross. AS matters now
stand, all of the white heavy
weights seem to be looking fix
edly at the ceiling.
Just what the European heavy.
weights will do, in the same set
of circumstances, nobody seems
to know. But for the kind of
money they can draw with Louis
at Albert Hall, London, and the
Sports PalaSt in Berlin, it is as.
Sumed that they won't wish to be
technical.
Jack Peterson, the recumbent
Englishman, is a possibility. So
are Walter Neusel. the Mad Ger
man, and Larry Gaines, the col
ored gentleman from Canada. A
match with Schmeling or Tommy
Loughran, who is understood to
be planning to sail for Europe in
a few days, is not beyond rea-
sonable expectancy, either.
Four Bodyguards
Anyhow, his co-managers are
believed to be all for the trip,
partly as a matter of expediency.
They so greatly fear tampering
with their fighter here, that they
have even assigned him four
bodyguards who accompany him
everywhere he goes and. besides,
there is always the possibility
that the man will suddenly
go wire-haired. after the manner
of many of our leading heavy.
weights of the current genera
ton.

DIRECTOR BUYS
HORSES

The man who directed many OF
Shirley Temples motion pictures
is going into the horse racing
game as a side line and will name
one of his horses after the dimin'
utive star.
David Butler, the director. and
Leo McCarey, another director,
already own three horses, and are
planning to increase their stable,
and one of their new turf stars
will be named after the movie
star, Butler said today. Another
horse will be named after one of
Miss Temples picture hits, THE
Little Colonel"
Clark Gable, Constance Ben
nett, Joe E. Brown, and other
well-known motion pictures stars
have acquired racing stables in
recent months, but the Butler and
McCarey venture is the largest
thus far undertaken in the film
colony.

field berth. This family organ
lied the Petworth A. C. last year.
Several of the boys are scattered
about the city now. but because
the team enjoyed such a success
full season in its first year, the
name was continued. Another
reason is that the majority of the
other players making up the roster
still live in Petworth and are
known to Petworth fans.
Kermit Can Hurl
Kermit Zones is a pretty good
pitcher, according to Manager
Herman Zones. The lad has won
two games for the team since the
campaign opened, and in both had
to employ every ounce OF effort
and talent as the scores were 2
to / on each occasion.
Manager Herman Zones has two
other pitchers. however, to help
the younger Zones to carry the
load. They are Gordon Rice and
Jack Swami. both of whom have
looked good in recent games. Both
are right-handerS.
The Petworths have defeated
several fair-to-middling indepen-
dent foes this season. Included
in the array are the Library of
Congress diamonders, Pepco, Hub
Restaurant and the Postal Tele-
graphers. The Burroughs and
Roamers have given them trouble,
both having gained decisive vic
tories.
Team Well Balanced
The remainder of the Petworth
lineup is we'll balanced, despite
the "top-heaviness" the Zones
boys give it. Manager Zones
admits this decidedly.
Lefty jenkins divides with Carl
Zones at first base; Julian Straug-
han plays short stop; Norman
Settle, second base; Art Webb and
Bud Stevens. outfielders and Cecil
France, catcher.
The Petworths play their home
games on the Eighteenth and Otis
SITS. field N. E. Manager Herman
Zones is still arranging games and
can be reached at q Franklin St.
N. E., or by phoning North 1370-R.

today was within striking distance
of the worlds heavyweight wres-
ting championship.
Vincent removed Ernie DUsek,
rough-and-tough Omaha grappler,
from the international wrestling
tournament here last night.
Vincent twice was tossed out Of
the ring into the second row Of
seats. Twice when he tried to
climb back Dusek landed head-on
in the Lopez bread basket, but
Vincent finally got back and then
with his famed forearm blows
knocked Dusek down twice before
he finally put him out.
Next week Vincent tackles Man

F FULLER KEEPS
GOING At 70

BERKELEY, CAL, July 4.
Rounding out his twenty-fifth
year as coach of the Berkeley
Tennis Club, William c. Pop"
Fuller is still going strong despite
his 10 years.
The man who developed such
stars as the great Helen Wills
Moody, Helen Jacobs, present
holder of the national women S
singles title, Bud Chandler. Bon
ME Miller and Josephine Cruick'
shank, is now hard at work with
14-year-old Anne Morgan, most
promising of his present pupils.
Pop" as he is called by every
one at the club, came to Berkeley
from the East in 1910 to act az
coach of the clubs juniors.
"In those days." he recalled,
'it wasn't so much a matter of
coaching them as it was keep
ing those youngsters disciplined.
"Watching them play, 1 saw
they needed to be taught the
basic principles of the game,
so I started teaching them. At
first, I started playing with
them, but they initiated me too
much, and was not a very
good player. They copied my
faults.
But I knew how the game
should be played and I tried to
impart that knowledge to the
youngsters"
Helen Wills Moody, Of course,
was his most famous pupil and
the first to blaze across the ma.
tional tennis horizon. Today
Pop" is sure that Mrs. Moody,
who was forced to default to
Helen Jacobs at Forest Hills in
1893, during the national singles
championship because of a back
injury, will stage a successful
comeback.

young stars developed. He be-

The current crop of pitchers
may or may not be as good as the
old timers but on the average
they field their position as well
and they hit far harder.
Where the old timers had one
Otie Crandall to cheer about,
there are dozens like him today.
The old Giant pitcher never saw
the day he had anything on Red
Ruffing of the Yanks, Yves Terrell
of the Red Sox or Red Lucas OF
the Pirates as pinch hitters.
These are by no means the only
hard hitting pitchers in the
majors. Off hand, in the Amer
lean League one can name OSter'
muller, Hudlin, Linke, Bridges
and Rowe as pitchers whose sock,
ing keeps step with their throw
ing.

Curt Davis are no pushoverS

Wins Own Game
Take Davis, for instance. He
moved into the tenth inning
yesterday in a deadlock with
Hubbell of the Giants. Then the
Philly ace drove one into the
stands to win his own game
4 to 3. And Hubbell himself set
a seasons fielding record fol-
pitchers when he handled nine
chances without an error.

j. S. AID REQUEST
OFFICIALLY DENIED
State Department Declares
Inquiry for italian Ban
Not Made.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The State Department has not been
approached yet either by the British
or the French governments with a
request to join the League of Ma
tionS in its coercive measures against
Italy by prohibiting the entry of Ital-
ian goods into the United States
In official quarters it is doubted
that such request would be forth
coming. 1t is pointed out that the
policy of this country, as far as meas
ures against warning nations is con-
cerned, is definitely guided by the
neutrality act which has been put
into effect by President Roosevelts
proclamation, from the moment a
state of war existed between Italy and
Ethiopia.
The President went as FAR as he
could to harmonic Americas neu-
trality policy with the policies of the
League when he advised American
citizens that henceforth they must
trade on their own risk with the bel
ligerent nations. This declaration
was reinforced by repeated state
ments OF Secretary Hull, who pleaded
with American businessmen not to
trade with warning nations because
the small profits they may make out OF
the existing situation are overshadow-
ed by the great harm caused to inter-
national trade if war is prolonged.
Outside these warnings and plead
ings, there is nothing the administra-
ton can do to prevent trade relations
between Italy and the United States.
Ethiopia is hardly taken into consid-
Grafton because of the negligible
amount Of trade with it.
On the other hand, it Is pointed
