Pastor Will Last
-Four Rounds,
SaysChdmp
By LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-There Is
one man in the world who can be
regarded as q, cinch to beat Joe
Louis and one other who might be
given a chance, but neither Of
them is Bob Pastor, the Brown
Bomber's opponent at Madison
Square Garden next Friday night
Pastor may last four Of the
scheduled 10 rounds because he is
game. But some time during those
IL tense minutes, with a capacity
crowd of 10000 waiting for it, a
blurred fish Of brown lightning
in the form Of a five-ounce glove
will thud into the features Of the
blue-eyed collegian with the black
wavy hair and Louis will have
scored his thirty second knockout
in 38 professional starts.
That is a summing up Of the
heavyweight situation and the
Pastor-Louis fight as viewed today
by Champion James j. Braddock
from behind that inevitable cigar
Braddock himself is the man
who couldn't miss against Louis
and the one who might come
through because he did once is
Max Schmeling, the champion eX
planned.
"But not Pastor" Braddock
said. Because Pastor will keep
right on getting up off the floor
as long as his legs will hold
him he has a chance-t0 90
four rounds. But no more than
that.
"Pastor is too little and Louis
hits too hard" the champion
went on. Pastor can punch,
too, but not hard enough to off
set Louis advantage Of about
19 or 20 pounds. When you give
that much weight you've got to
be able to knock the other fel'
low dead or outlook him. /
don't think Pastor can do either
with Louis.
"If Pastor wasn't as game as
they make 'em / would say
one round would finish him;
but he might travel four on
his fighting heart, then they
can go out and bring him in"
Building up his own chance:
with Louis by way of a compari
son between himself and Pastor
Braddock pointed out that III
stands above 6 feet to Pastor!
5 feet 111a inches and weighs
1875 pounds to Pastors 1873.
"And I'm strong and expert
enced: Pastor is o little heavy.
weight and not very strong, ana
he has had only q few fights"
Braddock said. ''NO, I wouldn't
say that would knock Louis
out, but might, and even If I
didn't / would be out in front
at the end Of Is rounds and
still betting"
"Schmeling? I don't have to
speak for him. He spoke for
himself last summer in the Yam
kee Stadium when he put the
slug on Louis. For that reason
he must be figured to be able
to win from Louis again-but
not Pastor"

Young, Ill, then the rest.
The January, 1887, tabulation
advanced the men ranking sixth,

that the men ranking fourth. fifth
