Louis TAKES
Biz CHANCE IN
BOUT TONIGHT
Is Favored to Beat Gaucho,
But Smashes on Chin
60 Hard
Bv JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. .. (UP).-
Brown Bomber Joe Louis is TAX
ing a silly and dangerous gamble
with his ring reputation and fiStic
future tonight when he meets
young Jorge PreScia, the hard-hit-
ting Argentina GauchO, in q 10
round bout at the Hippodromc.
For purse that will approNi-
mate only $4,000, DctrOit's SON
Sational negro bOXcr-who untor-
tunatcly stuns TOO easily whcn
smashed on the chin-will risk Op-
portunities of making hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in more I'M
portant bouts and possibilities of
becoming world heavyweight
champion.
Shuffling Joe is a 81 faYoritc
to win over BreScia and Il 81
favorite to knock out the brawny
lad from Buertos Aires in this bout
which will usher in professional
boxing at Mike Jacobs plush-lincd
Hippodromc, swankicst fight club
i'm the world
But Louis also was n 81 fav-
Oritc 10 win over ancient, Max
Schmcling at Yankee stadium on
June l9-and he wound up on the
floor with the referee sayin"
grace over his prCStraJc form. To-
night he is tackling a 22-year-Old
husky whose right fist carries
plenty of dynamite and travels
straightcr and faster than that of
Herr Schmcling. He is tacKlmg a
big, strong youngstcr who will
outweigh Joe about five pounds,
and have advantages of hcighth,
reach, biccps and forearm. And
ErCscia is entering the ring un-
beaten.
Most boxing writer's believe that
Louis will dispose of the crStwhIic
pampaS cowboy in short order be-
cause of RrcScia'S lack of boxing
polish and because Of reports that
Brescia also has q glass jaw.
Brcscia has fought eight Amcri-
can professional fights in which
he registered five knockOutS and
three decisions. His South Ameri-
can "amatcur" record shows 29
kayocs and six decisions in 30
bouts. Rrcscia'S most impressive
United States victory was q SIX
round decision over big Frankie
Connollcy of Boston in January.
His blows put Conncllcy on the
Sidclines for six months.
Coincidcntally, the Gaucho's
last fight was on the night of June
of the raid, was released ycstcr-
day.
Miss Hoagland said she had
gone to see Brinkley after he no.
tilted her that he had information
on city factory conditions, which
she was surveying.

There1l be no need to ask What's
the shootin for?" at Randall's Is.
land today.
For. on that patch of green an
chored midway in East River nearly
300 of Americas top runners, sprint
ters, jumpers and throWers will be-
gin a tWo-day battle for the fifty
five (no more, no less) places on
the Olympic track and field team.
The boys will be shootin', no
doubt about that. Whipped on by
the double lash of burning compe-
tition and a desire to be waving
from the deck when the S. S. Man
haitian swings out into the harbor
and heads for Berlin on Wednes-
day, legs, arm and hearts will be
called on for all they've got-and
maybe a little bit more.
There'll be no ifs, and, or butts
about this track meet. It's the pay
off baby. The chips are down. and
right out there in the middle of the
table. The boys know what they've
got to do to make all the months
and years of training and roaming
worth while. They must finish first,
second or third. A fourth, a fifth
or a sixth, and it's no dice. It's
get in the money, or get out.
With five men trying for each
place open on the team it requires
no mathematical whizz to figure
out that many will be the heart
aches when the sun goes down Sun
day. Some $50 of the boys have
got to fail, no matter what they do.
But it would take more than a
mathematical Whizz to determine
who those boys will be. For not
since man started running and
jumping and throwing as a sport
has there ever assembled such a
red hot field of performers. A fist

one man in modern baseball has

1882 hit for the circuit four times
to match the 1890 performances
of Bob Lowe and Ed Delehanty.
A change Of scenery apparently
was the best thing that ever hap
pened to Klein. Purchased by
Phil Wrigley of the Cubs from
the Phillies in 1884 at a cost of
$65, 900 cash and several players,
Chuck never hit his stride.
Kleins four circuit blows drove
in six runs for the PhilS to win,
8 to 6.
The st. Louis Cardinals and the
New York Giants staged one of
their classic brawls-13 innings
with the Cards finally winning

The second place Chicago Cubs
kept right up with the Cards by
pouncing on the Brooklyn Dodgers

CT world, American and collegiate
champions. From the group which
will be left behind could be chosen
a team worthy of competing with
the squad of any other nation on
earth. ......
The class of the field is shown
by the fact that in the II events
which comprise the two day pro
gram, world record holders will ap-
pear in 13. Yet, so terrific (and
l use terrific" in the Hollywood
sense) is the athletic talent of this
country that in only four events do
the world champions appear to out
class their rivals. These events are
the discus. the broad jump and the
ll0meter and 400-meter hurdles.
Ken Carpenter, giant Californian,
apparently is unbeatable with what
the radio boys choose to describe
as "the glittering Grecian platter"
No one has beaten him this year,
and he has thrown the business past
the scattered worlds mark. Jesse
Owens, the coffee-colored flier from
Ohio, stands alone in the broad
jump. He's a consistent 26-footer.
The two hurdle events belong to
brace of soutnerners, Spec Towns
Of Georgia and Glenn Harding of
louisiana Delta and Bayou coun-
try. Towns hasn't been beaten all
year over the high sticks and
Hardin, record holder in the 400
meter, also has vanquished all COM
petition this year.
SO many hairline finishes are
anticipated that the Olympic Off
cials have installed a magic eye

be hoped it is a more efficient one
than those employed at the race

Lazzerii has been playing fine

New York Scribes attribute his

chances of the Yanks, picked not
to win the pennant. depended
largely on his legs. Tony got
sore. He said, II will make those

While injuries hurt the Yanks

continued TO hit the ball. Di-
Maggie went west on the first
Yankee invasion hitting 1923. He
hit .465 i'm the west to boost his
total TO .375. He Socked speed and
he mauled curves and gained the
reputation as a tough man to
pitch to. The 2l-year-old lad
definitely is a star. He has done
a great job in lifting the Yankee
Outfield into a high rating in the
major leagues.
CroSSetti while not so Spectac-
ular as his two Italian mates is

ers in either league. CrOSsetti is
also hitting the ball well above
