chPLIN CRIES AS| LOUIS UP
 FELDMAN BOUT
Brown Bomber Protected Against Young Ring
 Stars Says Manager
RY CHOICE KIRKsEY

kUnited Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 23.-(UP)-Joe Louis Honolulu honeymoon is g smoke screen behind which he IS hiding to dodge Able Feldman-at least that Manager Hynlie Caplin's version of the brown bomber's de- CisiOn not to fight again until he meets Max Schneling this summer.
 Caplin, who is from the Joe we was robbed) Jacobs school of pro- testOrs, does not stop at accusing xris of running out of Q match with his fighter, but charges that Promoter Mike Jacobs is building up the brown bomber out of all proportion to his real fighting worth.
 se Hot Air
 1T had no intention of mention- ing my deductions about the build up they're putting over on Joe Louis until they deliberately ran out on Q match with Feldman." Caplin said. First, gotta tell you I think Louis is good fighter but I don't think he's so good he can knock out anybody any time he wants. He can call his shots against those poro old has-beenS they're feeding him but not against a young fighter who knows anything at all about the art of box fighting" Caplin argued that since Louis has been under Jacobs promotional wing he has been fed "setups, has, beens and physically unfit fighters"
 "Who do they give him?" Caplin asked. Nobody who is able to fight. Baer's hands were in no shape for him to be in the ring. Camera hasn't been any good since Baer beat him up. Levinsky's been all washed up for some time. Ret2laff has the worst glass chin in the game. Poor old Pauline has been through for years. And now they're protecting him for another soft touch. Schmeling was knocked out by Baer two years ago. Hamas beat him badly in 1894 and Pauline held him to draw the sam eyear."
 Caplin insists that back in De- cember Jacobs promised Fcldman a bout with Louis at Detroit January 31, and told him not to take any other matches.
 "Well, keep my man idle wait ing for this shot," Caplin explains, "and what do they tell me? They say he wants to go on honeymoon But that ain't the real reason. don't say Feldman would lick Louis, but I guarantee 1t wouldn't be one of those one-two-or three round things"
 The Right Man
 weldman, who is A and weighs 188, is just the type to make Louis prove whether he is ring wizard or . fighter magnified to unworthy heights because of mediocrity of his contemporaries, according to 1lttle Hymie, Feldman was born in Salt Lake City but reared in New York's Delancey street. He has lost onl y3 bouts out of 40 and Dever been of fhiS feet. Maxey Rosenbloom, Bob Goodwin and Charlie Massera hold decisions over him. His most notable victories were over John Henry Lewis, who later won the light-heavyweight title, Hans Birkie, Eddie Nader, Al Ettore and Steve Dudas.
