- ELDOM, If ever, in world series

King Carl wins the first, third, fifth

all Carl must do is win two games.
leaving Fitzsimmons and Gabler and
Castleman to do the rest.
Everybody. however, agrees
that Hubbell must win At least
the opener to keep the Amer
lean Leaguers from blasting
Coogan's Bluff right of the face
Of the map.
II Red Rufing can't win the Yanks
still have q chance. They have nc
Hubbell on their staff, nor anybody
that can carry Carls glove, but the
real Yankee pitchers are guys named
Gehrig, Di Maggie and Lazzeri. They
pitch 'em into the bleachers and this
is a tremendous help to any kind Of a
slabber. The Giants have no punch
like the stadium seekers. OFT is the
nearest approach and Mel is outnum-
bered as well as outclassed. Hubbell
must stop the Yanks because there are
plenty of fellows like Gabler and Fitz
and Castleman and Schumacher in the
American League and they haven't
SHOWN that Lou and Joe and Tony can
be stopped consistently.

Louis Still on Upgrade.

THE 22-year-old Louis faces rosy
future. Only Jimmy Braddock
and Schmeling loom as possible i'm
pediments to his progress, and Max
and Jersey Jim now are creeping
we'll into their 30s. Certainly among
the younger fighters Louis stands
unchallenged.
Louis rapid ring rise has not been
the result of picking his spots. If
he's had soft sliding, then it's bad
commentary on the sock situation.
He's chilled three former world cham
pions and bowed only to fourth.
The Louis who trounced Ettore was
more colorful than the Louis who
trimmed Baer or Sharkey. He was
facing an opponent who would fight
and he apparently relished it. He
also probably wanted to learn if he
could stop right.
Yes, Joe Louis still looks the part
Of q coming champion.

Beaten Hub Would Be Blow.

nEFEAT for Hubbell in the opening
game would be a terrific blow to
Messrs Rupert and Stoneham, own
ers of the Yanks and Giants, respec-
lively. A beaten Hubbell might well
herald brief series, with the Yanks
slamming to victory in five games or
less Inasmuch as the club owners do
not begin to profit until the fifth game
you can appreciate how old Jake and
young Horace would feel.
Still with Hub it will be an old
story. He Is used to carrying the load.
He did 1t all Spring to keep the Giants
within hailing distance of the top, so
they could step out once their winning
ways developed. And when the Polo
Grounders suddenly began to be pen
nant contenders it was Hubbel who
led the way, winning IS straight
games.
Hubbell has never pitched to
10 the Yanks Is . team. He
faced . few Of the boys in the
all-star games, but those affairs
hardly would give them . real
line on Hub and his screw
ball. To most Of the Yanks.
Hub will be something entirely
new.
The only bona fde inkling anybody
has been able to get on Hubbell, as
opposed to American Leaguers. has
been hattering to the lean Giant
southpaw. Never once in all-star
games has he failed to come through,
and his feat in 1884, when he whitfield
Ruth. Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and
Cronin in succession. always will be
remembered as one of the great pitch
ing feats of modern times.

is more than satisfied. When Joseph

ing to the Washingtons and has taken

of scoring, especially after the frst

measly hits and three Of these came
after two were out. Joe refused TO

SHOWS FINE SKILL,
SOCK IN QUICK WIN
Only Braddock, SchmeIing
Seen in His Path After
Fifth.Round Victory.
BY BURTON HAWKINS,

HHILADELPH1A, Pa, September
- 23.-Fistiana' tickle fans al
tered their estimate of the
punching prowess of Joe Louis
today and once again the devastating
darky has forged his trim frame back
into pugilism's title picture by slam
ming Al Ettore with everything but
the Liberty Bell here last night at Mu-
nicipal Stadium.
The methodical Louis trounced a
thoroughly game lad in Philips IA
vorite f1st-slinger, but the young Ital-
ian-American was facing what most
ringworms now are willing to concede
as the greatest puncher since Jack
Dempsey crawled from under freight
car to dominate the heavyweight di-
vision.
Louis is not invincible, as was DEM
onstrated effectively by Max Schmel-
Ing. Ettore managed to tag the tan
tosser with several damaging blows be-
fore he slumped to the canvas, near
ly Topping out of the ring as he
courageously tried to regain his feet
in the fifth round.
Ettore has been one of the few fight
ers not felled mentally by a psyche
logical punch before pulling on the
gloves to square of with Louis. He Is
but a few months older than Joe and
his stamina, coupled with ham-sized
ticker, plus his ability. finally has Of
fered some sort of a barometer by
a,t 81, - i,,Lr he r1c
real ring value.
Joe Victim Of Clippings.
IT HAS not been Joe's fault that
most of his opponents have re-
garded him as somewhat Of ring
rarity-a guy who couldn't be beaten
yet his prestige has suffered as the
result of his foes refusal to fight in
some instances.
Schmeling's victory over Louis Is
attributed by many to the fact that
Joe at that time was believing the
about him. They point out that Louis
was difficult to handle in training
camp-that he thought Schmeling
also would wilt, la Baer or Levin
sky, prior to actual ring combat.
Others say that marriage tenn
porarily shelved Louis-that he was
concentrating his attention on Marva
instead Of his mittens. Yet the un-
deniable truth pops up that Schmel-
ing was a better fighter that night.
He planned his battle and executed
1t hawlessly.
1t Is logical to assume that the Ger
man knocked some fundamental ring
sense into the Negro's noggin through
out those II rounds. Louis was an
improved fighter against Ettore, as he
weaved, ducked and danced away
from pay-of punches, while clipping
AL rather steadily.

WPA Reduces Number of Employees z4z Within
 Week PWA Gains

The current wPA situation in Waterbury gives evidence of the fact that this city has figured prominently in . reduction of 242 from the state WPA rolls for the week ending July il, as reported from Washington. The report states that the Connecticut personnel has been reduced from 22,i64, of July 1, to 2i,oI2, Ag of July ii.
 The transferral of men from WPA to PWA projects here during that period and c curtailmen of the staff on the local sewing project point to the fact that this city had It's share in the 242 reduction reported for that week. There are no actual figures obtainable but 1t is eStimat. ed that about fifty persons from this city alone have been affected by the reduction of the state per- SoYinei.
 It has also been reported that Waterbury is icluded in . list of allocatiOns for WPA which were recently approved by the president for the state of Connecticut.

MEXICO MAY SOON
 HAVE TROUBLE


 Mexico City. July 24.--(UP) Bit terness against the regime of Pres ident Lazaro Cardenas mounted hourly today as week.long light and power strike remained unset- tied Rumors that the walkout might lead to general strike were consid- cred unfounded in informed quar- ters, but hundreds of persons with money felt there might be an ele- ment of truth in them. They formed in queues at grocery stores to buy large supplies of provisions. The strike of Mexican Light & Power Co. employees has left 4.000,0 per- sons without electricity and forced most industries in this region to shut down.
 Repeated government announce ments that a settlement was immin- ent have come to Tiaught. Cardenas is absent somewhere in the interior of the country. Strikers now are at- tempting to make it appear that he promised them the government would take over the company. The newspaper El HombFe Llbre says he merely promised them the govern ment would respect their right to strike.

 "The monarchy, as well as the rightest partisans, only desire the complete disappearance of the left- istS, who have caused so much harm. Whatever the result of the struggle, my one desire is that Spain be saved and that the terror and daily cruelty of the assassins end. My heart is broken when I learn that my country is thus dying.
 "1n my opinion, only the end of the leftist regime will terminate the civil war once and for all and give Spain the peace 50 deisred by all true Spaniards. am convinced that only rightist regime supported by the entire army can assure Spain Q happy future" t

Governor Cross Calls of Conference About Strike

[. Gross today called of the confer ence he had arranged between these ofiiciais, and labor representative to discuss Q settlement of the Rem- ington- Rand strike. A prepared statement issued from the office of the Connecticut governor says:
 Governor Gross finds 1t impossi- ble to arrange the conference he de- sired to have next week with QoV- ernor Lehman of New York, 0ov- ernor Davcy of Okio, MT. James II. Rt nd, Jr., and Q representative of the strikers of Remington. Rand, Inc, as Governor Lehman feels that is the power and duty of his indus- trial commissioner Mir. Elmer P. An- drews to act in such 0 case and as Mir. Rand Is unwilling to meet with Governor Davey. Accordingly, Gov. ernor Gross must proceed in e differ. cnt way in an efforts to settle the strike"
 Although no further information was forthcoming from the executive office, 1t is believed Governor Cross today made another attempt to have Governor Lehman attend the cons ference in person and the latter de- clined. Also, the manner in which Governor Cross now intends to pro. ceed in his attempt to settle the strike could not be ascertained but 1t was intimated at his ofIice that as yet he had not decided on 6 definite Cour@e.
 Rand wired Cross that he could not see anything being gained through Q conference with the Ohio governor, fiaying Davey for "toler- ating mob violence which has taken possession of the plant in Norwood. Governor Davey,r wired Rand, "countenances Q procedure every rcd.bloded American employer and employe alike will resist because it is the beginning of the end of liberty In the United States. If you will con- tinue to enforce the law in Connec- ticut and put an end to rock throw ing and other violence as you have tried to do recently, and which has been done by the cites of Ilion, Marietta and Tonewanda, you will put an end to the greatest menace to our American system of government namely, ar organized system of mob violence"
