might be enough to get him by against individuals of equal bulk but it won't do when he steps out against a 200-pounder with far greater speed.
 He Wants the Money
 It is doubtful if the genial Tor rance is really interested in fight ing for any purpose other than to earn some quick money. If he has the temperament that goes to make up a successful fighter. he has failed to show it in the past.
 Mike Jacobs paid something like s2,5OO for Torrance's signature. He painted a brilliant picture for the former L. s. U. athlete and Tor rance hopped on the bandwagon. Jack passed up many tempting of fers to seek boxing honors. The wrestling game simply did not ap- peal to him.
 Wise old Dame Nature seldom PuJS tIl6 litdlJ LII d hiilCi III OAAC VI those giants. Willard had no great liking for the brutal business of box ing. His heart was never really in the game. The same thing is true of Camera. They made fighter out of him. What he knew about the ring game had to be drilled into him. He would have much pre- ferred to live the quiet life of a country farmer back home in Italy.
 Lack of the killer instinct has kept the 6-foot 7la inch Ray Im- pellitierre from moving up the heavyweight ladder. The Imp can box and is fair puncher but he is no ring tiger. The towering Campolo was clever with his fists, but fighting never came naturally to him. The overgrown fighters, as a rule, are fairly easy to hit and when they are hit do not relish it. Perhaps old Bob Fitzsimmons was right when he said: The bigger they are the harder they fall"

They nave WlllJUleu SOIHeIHlllS llke 50 pounds off the huge frame ot Jack Torrance, former Louisiana State football, basketball and track star, and holdier of the world shot, put record, and are about to launch him on his career as a heavyweight fighter The big fellow sealed about 325 pounds when he started train ing for the ring after returning from the Olympic Games in Ger many.
 Torrance, ll.oy say, worked mighty hard to fit himself for his boxing career. He must have-to have shed all that poundage. He's up every morning bright and early for a long workout on the road. Later comes a long training session in the gym in the afternoon. He has tried hard to learn the tricks of the game.
 When he signed up with Promot- CT Mike Jacobs he got off cn the right foot, for, in the fight game, connections are most important. He ought to move along under the Jacobs banner. He might even ar rive at the point where he earns some real money But the cards seem to be stacked against him. His size may help to make him an att traction for a while, but, in the long run, all of that bulk is likely to keep him from going very far in the ring.
 Ring history shows plenty of cases to emphasize that man needs more than bulk to get to the top in the ring. There have been some g ants who won high honors-fellows like Jess Willard and Primo Camera They won the world heavyweight title, but in no sense could they be rated as great fighters.
 Speed Is Necessity
 It is pretty generally conceded that Jack Dempsey was just about the perfect piece of fighting ma chinery that torrid July afternoon in Toledo when he battered the giant Willard to the canvas. Yet Dempsey weighed less than 19C pounds against the 245 Willard scaled.
 Dempsey pretty well demonstrat- ed that boxer in the neighborhood of 200 pounds is big enough to whip any man. When a fighter goes be- yond the 200-pound mark he sacri- fices speed. And speed is para mount in the fight game speed afoot as well as speed in punching Big, bulging muscles very often make a fighter formidable, but as in the case with Camera, they are not conducive to effective punch ing. The giant Primo simply could not deliver his blows with the snap that made them damaging. Primo pushed, rather than snapped, his punches
 Unless all signs are misleading Torrance is likely to be just the type of puncher that Carnera was Most of his athletic training, and his training in the art of shot, putting in particular, would tend to develop push" Starring out on a ring career at his age is not like ly to help his chances.

Talk of ''White Hope" to Halt Louis
Maddens Manager of World Cham bion.
BY JOHN LARDNER

Gould, sitting an impulse to screech
his answer, replies. Until they carry
the black fella out of the ring, and
that amt gonna be such long time
At the moment Of which l
write, Braddock's manager had
been stung to speech by a cas-
uaI reference to Jack Dempsey's
search for a white hope.
Somebody mentioned the fact that
Lester Stoefen. the giant pro tennis
player with the heart-throb profile,
had gone over to Dempsey's place to
be inspected as a potential prizefight-
er. Lester was turned down rudely.
Stoefen Overlooks a Point.
"DEMPSEY tapped him on the
chest" reported the speaker,
"and Little Rollo"-Mr. Stoefen in
private life-"pretty near swooned.
He'd forgotten that there was a GER
tain amount of physical contact in
the white hope business. He thought
it was mostly a matter of eating
Dempseys steaks free of charge"
Mr.. Gould had been dunking his
nostrils absent -mindedly in his high
ball glass during this speech. At the
sound Of the words white hope"
however, he came swiftly to the sur
face and delivered the afore-men-
toned broadcast.
Oddly enough. Mr.. Gould is sincere
in his belief that Braddock can whip
Louis. While the fight experts sound
off in all directions, to the effect that
Braddock will be lucky to remain in
one piece after the seventh round.
Mr.. Gould clingS to his private and
personal creed, the chief article of
which is the ordained downfall OF
Louis and the divine mission of the
Braddocks on this earth.
think Joseph actually is
more confident of victory than
is his fighter. Bradd0ck, slow
and cautious of speech, never
has predicted that he'd win by
knockout. But Mr.. Gould says
he will.
Jim is gonna fight different fight
against Louis than the one he fought
against Baer," said Mr.. Gould. He
didn't have to knock Baer out. Baer
was a clumsy bum. so Jimmy just
slapped him to pieces and took the
decision. But with Louis it's gonna
be punch and punch. and Jim will
get to the colored guy because the
way Louis fights he leaves an opening
