New York, Aug. 25-(UP)-Usu- ally, on the day before a heavy weight championship fight I am comfortably settled in my little bun- galow which stands way, way, way out wonder on the end of the limb.
 Blunt today; probably because of that perverseness of nature which made me problem child until I was l9, going on 20, I am not out on the limb. I am stringing with the vast majority, and picking Louis to knock the eternal daylights out of Tommy Farr.
 But my snug little diggings out on the end of the limb won't be un- occupied. I have rented them to Jack McAuliffe, theold retired un- defeated lightweight champion of the world who, in special article for the United Press today, comes out fiat-footedly for Farr. Jack minces no words, but says the Welsh man will be too tough, too strong, and too smart for the champion.

 Jack old boy, sort of envy you out there on the end of the limb. Youll find 1t mighty, mighty com fortable. have spent many happy hours out there, with the rain of criticism pattering on the roof, and the squirrels poking their noses through the window, and scheming how they could remove such large nut and store 1t for the winter.
 The ventilation out there on the limb is mighty fine, too. Its three way, and there aren't any tall buildings to keep the bowling blasts from sweeping right through. In sub-letting the place, Jack, forgot to tell you much about it, so guess I'll do 1t right here.
 r In the refrigerator you'll find enough stores to keep you from go- ing hungry. That stuff in the red ti his jerked criticism and bully insults, the latter being a form of "beef," If you get what I mean. They are very nourishing. I lived oil them for nearly two months af- ter I picked Baer to butcher Braddock.
 In one corner of the living room you'll notice quite a few packages, neatly wrapped and tied with rib- bon. The packages are guest cubes Of paris green and are addressed and stamped, all ready to be mailed out to the second-guesser in case your selection goes the wrong way
 And Besides
 In the gun room youll find artli- lery enough to do good job on yourself if Farr loses and you find yourself unable to take 1t. Oh yes always give the postman a tip Of a dollar for lugging all those let ters to the house after a pick goes haywire. This figures out a quarter of a cent for each letter beginning: You stupid idiot, how in the world oid you ever got job, etc. . etc, {"
 There only one thing you'll find troublesome about the little home out on the limb, Jack, and that con- cerns the little matter of gettniR off the limb. For some reason or an- other, the steps fold up when VOL reac hthe top, and it's every man
