AS an amateur dabbler in things
hypnotic, 1 am very much inter
ested in a letter from Missouri
gentleman today in which he eX-
pressed the belief that Joe Louis
had used hypnotism or mesmerlsm
in his dizzy climb to fistic heights.
The possibility of Louis using
hypnotism or meSmerism, writes
Mr.. o. Spalding of Koch, Missouri
has been in my mind for a long
time. and I suppose most people

Louis does any hypnotising it is
with his fists and not his eyes.

ers OF hypnotism because 1 have
been under its influence, and
know that a person becomes so
confused and muddled he can't
even think straight.
You may treat my suggestion
as a joke if you wish. But l will
still believe there must have been
something besides the fear of physi-
cal punishment that caused a man
like Max Baer to behave so cow
ardly when he met Louis
Mr.. Spalding need have no fears
that I will treat his suggestion as
joke, for as I said am a most
enthusiastic oaobler in such mat
tiers; and have been for many years.

while the office of the City
Clerk is an elective one, the City

George "Klondike" Kon-
delis is slated to cop all the
glory in the big show at the
city limits arena tonight
when he battles Tony Mar
conf.
Kondelis has wrestled five times
since coming to the United States
and has won each match with
surprising ease. In his first bout
Kondelis flattened Everett Ribbons
in a fast match. In Kondelis' next
start the Athenian grappler threw
Billy Sledge. Sledge is rated IS
one of the best men on the coast
but he was unable to cope with
the fast, clever Kondelis
George also defeated three other
matmen on the coast last week
and made such a fine showing
that he is already feared by many
ot the ranking matmen who see
the Greek boy as the next champ
ion of the world.
In the main bout of the night,
World Champion Lopez will meet
Kiman Kudo. Kudo has run up
a long string of victories in the
last few months and has been
looking forward to crack at
Lopez for several weeks. Lopez
however, by virtue of his wins
over Dean and Columbo this week,
remains the favorite to pin the
ears of the japanese mailman.
Casey Columbo will tangle with
Richard Stahl in another great
bout that may even overshadow
the bout between Kudo and Lopez
Columbo will be spotting Stahl
about so pounds but is confident
that he will be able to throw
the German before the half hour
time limit is up.
Gunda Singh will attempt 20
add another victim to his long
list Friday night when he meets
Harry Jacobs Jacobs has some
tricks that will make the going
plenty tough for the Hindu, how
ever, and we look forward to
close battle. Singh, through his
superior speed and overpowering
strength should emerge victorious.
