heard along the Rue, and asked
him fer the truth. And the
truth, it seems, is this:
Herr Schmeling is not broke:
You don't live in the place we
had tea if you're broke" Cuddy
bluntly stated. Hes got plenty.
1 don't doubt, however, that Max
was decidedly influenced by the
money he'll make against Louis.
AS you know, he's a money-loving
man. And he must think he'll lick
Joe, too, otherwise I don't think
he'd jeopardize the reputation ne
has as a fighter with his country
men. Max is their top athletic
hero. Won Mengden, the Nazi
sports publicity director told me
Max was the greatest athletic idol
in German history. 1 don't be-
lieye Max would risk that reputa-
ton. even for the fortune he'll
make fighting Joe. And remem-
ber Schmeling signed for Louis
after he had seen the Negro
butcher Pauline, a felloN he him
self never could knock down in
40-odd rounds of fighting"
Which would lead one to believe
that Herr Schmelng either knows
something, or thinks he knows
something.

Sports Parade
BY HENRY McL.EMORE

NEW YORK, April 8. UP-This
admirer of the manly art OF sell
defense walked along the Rue de
Cauliflower for the first time in
many months today, and was
gratified to find it unchanged.
Winter has taken but slight toll.
The same boys, out to apply the
touch and put the bee on, lolled on
the corners where the fitful forties
slice into Broadway. The same
sterling characters lounged in lie
Boxes" unofficial club rooms-the
outer offices of the Garden and
Mike Jacobs Twentieth Century
club. The cigar smoke was just
as thick, the air just as scarce, the
derbieS just as black.
Only one new sport has sprung
into life - Mickey Walkers Toy
Bulldog Tavern--a spot where
the whiskey is as hard as Mickey
used to be when he was a welter,
the steak knives sharp as ma
chetes, and the bartenders know
your first name. As the genial
host, Mickey keeps the same
hours he did as a fighter, 4 pm.
to 6 p.m. Everything is running
beautifully, Mickey said, but for
one thing-the wall decorations
are too inspiratiOnal to the Gus
toners. The walls are decorated
with tremendous realistic pictures
of fights, and the customers, af-
ter a few drinks begin hosting
their dukes and calling for Mick
ey to take off his coat for a few
rounds.
ITS those pictures that get 'em, -
Mickey said. "One look at that
picture of Dempsey at Toledo after
they've had a few slugs, and they
start looking for a Willard We
amt got any Willard, so they usual
ly wind up with me. And I'm get
ting tired"
The chief topic Of conversation
along the Rue de CaulifloWer these
days is Of Herr Max Schmeling, the
Black Uhlan of the Rhine, who
with a Hell, He'll Hitler and a
hot-cha-cha" sails from Hamburg
the sixteenth Of this month to meet
Joe Louis here in June. There is
q wide divergence Of opinion along
the Rue as to just why Herr
Schmeling made the fight with
Louis. Some say he is coming
strictly for the dough and will
fight no more than is necessary 10

1t is this school Of thought that
maiptains that Schmeling is stone

Now and then into the life Of
every sports writer comes a time
like this. 1t wouldn't be so bad
it we hadn't sort Of insisted, in
stead Of being content with the
first little slip. So, in the spirit
OF fairness that should pervade
all good sport pages, our hat is off
and our hand is out to Tennis
Coach Ed Hannah Of CaleXico-
and we wouldn't blame the gentle
man in the least for ignoring the
outstretched hand.
Hannah didn't have anything to
do with this. but the other tennis
coaches of the valley seem unani-
nous in backing him up. so there's
nothing for this column to do but
back up. II seems there was a
slight error-please let US call it
slight-when this column COM
mented on Central high school
as tennis champions of the valley,
then went ahead later TO insist
that the championship was
won at the recent round robin
tournament, and that the April II
Imperial Valley tournament here
will have nothing to do with it.
Hannah. it seems. had protested
the El Centre claims.
Now, and there doesn't seem TO
be any legitimate argument against
1t, il develops that Hannah is coun-
ty manager in the field of tennis,
chosen by the interscholastic as
sociation. and that of all people
he should know just who is and
who is not champion.
So We rest content, with the
championship still hanging on the
turn of events as of April II.

Two evenly matched football
teams of Holtville high school. the
Reds and the Blues, will officially
close the spring football practice to-
night in a battle royal starting at 8
o'clock.
Walker announced Tuesday night
that both squads would employ wide

force sustained drivers to score.
The Reds will use a single wing
back formation with an unbalanced
line and the Blues will use a bal

The Viking mentor said that his
1886 squad would be much stronger
than last years team and that he
expected to be on top when the final
game is played.
Walker will have seven returning
regulars, Woodbridge, Layman, Preece,
Murphy, Van Der Hyde, Dickerson,
and Kashiki around which to build
a winning team. Two transfers,

Since his 1886 team will have to

a result his charges have become eX-

anticipated a fast, wide open game

words of praise for the men of his
camp. He gives a travelogue in his
narrative which tells of the start of
the mornings work He follows the
men through their day Of labor until
their return in the evening. He also
tells of the accomplishments OF the
crew and cites the improvement of
timber stands; the survey of the lake,
mapping the depth of water and the
type of bottom in the interest of fish
and game.
In the travelogue Mr.. Cannon goes
from one crew to the other and tells of
the work being done by each. He states
that after having seen all at work it is
plainly evident on the return to camp
why "the mess officer shakes his head
after each meal when he figures on
using the food which is left over for
hash"
The third anniversary Of the advent
of the camps to this vicinity is a source
of much satisfaction to Forest Super
visor Harmon for the accomplishments
noted. The several camp superinten-
dents also call attention to the large
number of young men who have secured
excellent positions with the forest SER

Leaving the city pavements and the
dust blown farms, they have gathered
in the forest by thousands and while
hewing a resource out of the wilderness
they paved a path for themselves to-
ward better jobs. Some have found
good paying positions in the forest SER
