One Of the strangest catches Is that
reported by q Florida angler, where
large bass gobbled q pork rind strip
hook lure. In some way this hook
slipped out Of the flsh's gills and was
grabbed by a second bass, so when
the fish were landed two bass were
taken on q single hook.
Another variation Is where an angler
hooked a small wall-eye which started
of on run. Suddenly the fisher
man felt tremendous tug and, after
tough battle, landed 30-pound
musky that had completely swallowed
the pike.
The reverse of the two-on -one epi-
sode is that where a very hungry or
foolish great northern grabbed a plug
cast by one angler, dashed around and
saw another plug. He grabbed this
one, also. He now had two anglers

Tony Unlikely to Accept Offer
From Ahearn Unless He Is

7 TITLE hope that Tony Canzoneri,
world lightweight champion,
would accept the offer OF Goldie
Ahearn, local matchmaker, to fight
Cowboy Howard Scott. District 1885,
pound champion, in title bout here
existed today among boxing fans.
Canzoneri, who was offered $4,000
by Ahearn to risk his crown here, is
expected to abdicate his lightweight
throne momentarily to meet Barney
Ross for the welterweight champion
ship.
The only hope for the local scrap
appears to be Ross refusal to face
Canzoneri. At that, Tony is sched-
uled to fight Lew Ambers for the
lightweight title late this month

TASK FOR LOUIS
TO REGAIN PEAK
Psychologist Says Fighter
Must Reconstruct Ego
to Succeed Again.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS

)HICAGo, July l.-one mans
1 opinion, a physician and psy-
Y chologist with keen knowl-
~ edge of boxing, is that Joe
Louis will find it difficult to regain
the pinnacle from which he was
tumbled by Max Schmelipg's jarring
right hand.
THE mans ego never had been
challenged until he met Schmeling.
Throughout his brief professional
career Louis always was presented
as the destroyer, and that presenta-
ton made possible many Of his easy
victories. He became single pattern
fighter, and when Schmeling solved
that pattern and applied a corrective,
Louis was left without any counter
plan. Tunney and other great fighters
of an imaginative mind would have
been able Immediately to readjust
their plans, but Louis knew no other
scheme.
Must Reconstruct Ego.
IT OUIS' future depends upon his
ability to reconstruct the ego
destroyed by Schmeling. 1t is pos
sible that the natural skill which
made the Negro great at one style
Of fighting may be sufficient to con-
struct another pattern. In last weeks
fight Schmeling had the moral ad-
vantage of being the under dog. Louis
possibly assumed the championship
role too early. and championship al
ways is the forerunner of defeat.
This much seems certain. Louis
will be at a psychological disadvan-
tage in his new, few fights. His
opponents no longer will regard Joe as
the great invincible Of boxing. They
will feel that what Schmeling did with
his right hand can be done again, and
will meet the Detroiter with less fear
and certainly less trembling. Louis
still may be the great fighter claimed
before the Schmeling bout. but he
will have more difficulty in proving
it than on his first rise.
Braddock Benefits Most.
THE man benefited most by
= Schmeling's victory Is Jim
Braddock. Had Louis defeated the
German, he would have been offered
as nothing less than a second Atilla,
and even so smart a fighter as the
champion might have fallen at least
a partial victim to the same complex
that overlook Baer, Levinsky and
others. 1t will be impossible to pre-
sent Schmeling in the role Of a
super fighter; not with defeats by
Baer, Hamas and Sharkey marked
against him. Max will carry the bur-
den when he meets Braddock, and it's
questionable if he ever again will
fight as we'll as he did against the
Brown Bubble"
There you have one mans opinion.
