 pressions: None of the experts at- tributed the Upset of the Century in Cauliflower Circles to the fact that Mrs. Joe Louis occupied seat 1S, Row l3 on the night of the big brawl-and perhaps they were right in ignoring 1t. The voodoo Man, uil- less that is what they are now call- ing Herr Schmeling, had nothing to do with the massacre. Fifteen right jabs did 1t.
 Fight fans the world over are probably Of the same temperament. So 1t would be erroneous to single out New York fight fans as espec- ially tickle people. But tickle they are and never more so as that night ct the Stadium. During the first three rounds of this battle, the grandstanders clustered tightly around where your correspondent was sitting, were 0 solid bloc for the Dark Destroyer. Their shouts, hearts and authoritative counsel ("Walk around him; Joe'C were all for the vanquished Black Bomber from Detroit.
 Then, the roar suddenly veered in tho fourth. The fortunes and trade winds had shifted. "Walk around him, Max" became the hue and advice in that round and thereafter. Even the man behind me, who had wagered long odds on the dusky demon, double- crossed himself and clamored for the. blood of his hero.
 
 Love Drama
 A lively, little race for the hand of 0 lovely lady was run on Q re- cent weekend, although the results have not yet been announced. Tho prize was Miss Julie Benell, e young actress who has just been elevated to Broadway stardom in trifling comedy called (by c strange coinci- dcnce) ITO My Husband" Three suitors made the dash to New York to be the first to pop the burning question. From Bermuda, Bill Randol, an ether wave expert, rushed by ocean liner to be on hand. And from San Antonio, Texas, Gregg Bedell Moore, Q wealthy ranchor, came by train. While Q third, unnamed, drove In from the coast.
 Miss Benell met her Three Men while she was appearing in stock companies on the Pacific Coast. When asked about her choice, she replied that she hadn't made up her mind.
 Composed Women
 The talk ct Lindy's turned to the subject of women in song, and somebody at the end of table muttered that women have al- ways been the Inspiration of Q tune, rather than the composer of them.
 Then, Andy sannella, tho bands- man, snnilingly recalled that Sweet Rosie O'drady" was written by Maude Nugent Two Little Girls in Blue" and "Little Annie Rooney" were both composed by women X. that Carrie Jacobs Bonds S"The End of . Perfect Day" sold in excess of five million copies (. and that 30 years ago, Hattie Starr war writing "Little Alabama Moon". Somebody Loves Me-" and "Prunella" also, that Mabel Mckinley, Dolly Wayne, Dorothy Fields, Kay Swift, Tot Seymour, and Wee Lawnhurst are several of the successful ladies who are now showing their dainty heels to Tin Pan Alley.
 Taking Soundings
 Those ehowboats, as noted here several columns back, are already plying their way up and down the Hudson River, taking night-tiTne ex- cursionists for o moonlight sail, be- tween the New York and New Jer- sey shores. The 6howboats have been doing this internnittenIly fof years and the dean of the show boat shippers is 6 Captain J. Rod ney Magee, who has been up and down the Hudson waterway 500C times. He's used to 1t, and although hardly a local Cap'n Andy, likes the show business angle of his nightly cruises. He is learned in every knot of the river.
