tomobiles we're lined up four deep

Picture yourself sitting at the flag

of what some people paid S2750 to

BOMBER IS VICTIM
OF PERFECT SCRAP
Used Same Stuff on German
That Others Couldn't
Stand Up Against.
BY BURTON HAWKINS,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


n IEW YORK, N. Y, June 20
nj The question of whether Joe
" Louis could take a solid sock
a on his jutting jaw and come
back fighting has been answered, and
despite the upset that rocked f1stiana
as it never has been jolted before, the
Brown Bomber is as game and cour-
ageOus Scrapper as ever pulled on
glove.
There was nothing wrong with
Louis as he succumbed to an inspired
Max Schmeling here last night. He
fought as smoothly as ever But
Schmeling waged a nearly perfect
battle-nis best effort in 13 years Of
resin rambling. Those who tell you
that Joe was overtrained or below par
are merely trying to cover up the fact
they picked Louis to win as he pleased.
Joe's left was there with the same
pile-driving force that carried him
through 27 consecutive victories be-
fore he met his nemesis. Tha,
Schmeling absorbed dozens Of those
lefts that ripped his mouth to shreds
and puffed his left eye is mute test!-
mony Of the faultless machinery that
ticks within the Germans breast.
For Louis there is little consolation
in being chilled by a fighter who
could find few hackers on the short
end Of 10-1 odds, yet the colored
clouter captured the hearts of most
Of the 10000 frenzied fans with thc
plucky stand he made against tn
perfect punching apparatus that stc-l

Louis was beaten man, however
Louis did not quit or lose heart
The blow that sent him crashing
to the canvas would have made a
sizeable dent in the side of the Nor
mandie. He fought automatically and
subconsciously, never quite able to
penetrate the fog that marred his
vision after being impaled on that
flying fist.
After that, with the exception O.
the seventh round, Louis was at the
mercy of the ring-wise eX-champion.
but his natural fighting instincts aud
sharp refleXes evaded the pay-ofI
punch for eight more sessions.
The fact that Louis landed several
low blows is not indicative that h
sought the easy way out. He saw.
through the cobwebs that cluttered
his view. that his style of attack was
not effective against Schmeling. When
he tried to shift his tactics and con-
centrate on the crouching, bobbing.
weaving Germans body, his punches
were timed poorly and consequently
low.

Braddock said he would be delighted

The stunning upset was a tremen-

handlers, but they accepted it as
temporary reversal only and promised
the Bomber will be back on the fistic

BlameS Injured Thumbs.

TOHN ROXBOROUGH, one of Joe's
managers. attributed the defeat to
Louis sprained thumbs
From the fourth, when he injured
his digits, the Negro was not able to
land a good punch. In fact, his
thumbs, badly swollen jaw. the re-
suit Of the smashing right that spilled
him for the first knockdown, panied so
he doesn't remember what happened
from then until the finish.
Roxborough and Julian Black, Joe's
other manager, praised Schmeling's
courage and sportsmanship highly, but
they give large slice of the credit to
little Joe Jacobs, the schlager's man
ager.
In his past fights Louis always has
used II feet of soft gauze and 6 feet
OF tape for hand bandages. Jacobs
went before the Boxing Commission
this week and demanded that both
fighters be limited to regulation
bandages-6 feet of gauze and 2 feet
of tape.
This isn't enough protection for a
man with large hands" said Rox-
borough. Joe sprained his thumbs
before the fight was well underway.
IT surprised us that he wasn't knocked
out long before the twelfth"

Tor a time it looked as though it
would be the same old story
that Louis would fiddle around for
three or four rounds and then 60 to

The Bomber crashed to the canvas,
~but bounced to his feet before an Off
Cial count was taken.
There was a look of utter surprise
and bewilderment on Joe's face as he
went down. What they had told him
could not happen had happened He
had been hit. he had been hurt and
he. had been knocked down.
= That was the turning point. From
that moment on Louis absorbed ter

that he can take great bogs of punish

AS matter of fact, Jiggs draws

$500 a week to Tony Gentry, his
master, and earns bigger money
than that for some films.
When we visit the set, he is
lying on the floor beside Gentry's

There is a certain dignity in

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS .


With cooler weather, oven cookery
is again more popular, particularly
cookie making for school children and
quick luncheon dishes.
Fruits and vegetables in variety
are still plentiful and reasonable. APP
pies and grapes are becoming more
important daily, peaches, pears, fresh
prunes, cantaloupe and honeydew mel
ons are all inexpensive.
Sweet potatoes, and yams as we'll,
are now cheap and plentiful. White
potatoes are lower and so is cabbage.
Green and lima beans, onions and to-
matoes continue to be cheap.
Meats and eggs are higher. Beef
chucks and young chickens are still
reasonable.
Here are three menus planned for
different budget levels.
Low Cost Dinner
Braised Lamb Neck Slices
Potatoes Carrots
Bread and Butter
Raisin Bread Custard
Tea or Coffee Milk
Medium Cost Dinner
Pot Roast of Beef Potatoes
Lima Beans Cole Slaw
Bread and Butter
New Apple Pie

AUGUST BANNNR MONTH

August went into the records as an
other banner month for Chevrolet, ae-
cording to an announcement made at
the company's offices here. Combin-
ed sales of cars and trucks were 95,-
eos units, the second-largest August
figure in Chevrolet's history. Truck
sales, reported at 23,249 were the
highest ever made in August, and the
second-highest ever made in any
month.
An additional highlight of the deal
ers' sales performance in August was
their sale of 165,197 used cars, near
ly 10000 units more than they sold
in August 1885.

AS we went rafting by;

AS we WenC raCCIlHS ny,
News spread like forest smoke
Till the near by country folk
Were certain I would die.
Landlord came from Princess Anne,
The ady doctor and her man
To treat their first snake bite;
With it they did very well
Or I would not be here to tell
This tale that I recite.
But Joe Gibbons, a wise old soul,
Discounted my story as whole
And said it was not true;
Couldn't have been copperhead-
He would have died." the prophet said
AS he spoke to Jimmy Rue.
Three days past and I went back
In the swamp to trace my track
To find the dead reptile;
Wrapped him in paper bag
Brought him home that may brag-
Tell this yarn and smile.
At Clyde Ford's I met old Joe
He had told the folks, you know,
About my excited tale;
That I had shot a crooked stick
Or some other foolish trick
was no longer pale.

HOLLYWOOD Changing
Scenes-The most daring man in
Hollywood this week is Busby
Berkeley, who presumes that what
happens on the set of a musical
number is more important than the
set itself.
After all the elaborate creations
that are the current rage of tune
film producers, it is strange to
visit Gold Diggers of 1897, and
to find Dance Director Berkeley
staging a routine with no set at
all.
More than 100 girls are working
in abbreviated military costumes,
Of pure white. The background,
even to the polished floor, is
infinite black.
"And why not?" demands
Berkeley, as he stops to talk with
us while the camera is reloading.
1.-THE set designers give us beauti-
full winding staircases, but they
don't tell us what the girls are
going to do on them.
my object in this number is to
make the action carry itself. We
call it 'All's Fair in Love and War +,
The girls are one army and the
men are another. All are dressed
in white. The trenches are white,
too; even the As automatics are
white"
Berkeley, wearing white pants
and blue smock coat, strides
nervously up and down the line Of
girls. He gives them a tongue
flashing but tells us privately that
they are swell.
On two more takes he bawls
them out and then, at last, they
do one without a single mistake.
"Hot diggety!" he yells. THAT'S
it. Print it,"
Amidst hum Of conversation,
the whole set relaxes.

I stepped upon a copperhead-
He bit me then I shot him, dead
A very poisonous snake.
From my waist a belt I drew,
Tied it round my ankle too
AS hard as I could tie;
Hobbled then, out to a field
Of ripe tomatoes, What a yield!
But very sick was l.

All his poor old mule could pull
He had to spill his load;
