even those of us who can't possibly af-

There are two bits of important news
in furs this year around these parts.
First of all, the days when fur coat
was something to keep you warm are
gone Gone completely. The fur coat
that the smart young women around
New York are choosing is a definite
part of an ensemble. It has a fashion
theme song For instance, take Eliza
beth Wragge Elizabeti.s the ingenue
in NBC's Pepper Young's Family and
off the air she is still the perfect debu-
tante type. She loves new gadgets and

imaginable. Elizabeth assured me. be

with my tweed jacket in the country.
I can wear my fur jacket with other
wool dresses and even with my evening
clothes, for change. And the whole
outfit has spirit and a 1888 look "
Elizabeth has q really wonderful
silver fox cape which she usually wears
for her gala evenings, or over her brief
plated afternoon dresses for afternoon
appearances in public. 'Of course |

as do when wear something cute and

II S A matter of fact,
/ can. Because different people are
suited to different kinds of furs, just as
they are to clothes. There's Hildegarde,
for instance. This lovely NBC singer
is, as you know of old, the original
sophisticated lady. She has a silver fox
cape, too. But her cape is long-almost
to the bottom OF her daytime hens
and she wears it by day and by night.
Here's Hildegarde's pet theory on furs:
Il like my fabrics fine and | want my
furs good / don't care what kind OF
fur it is, but I want the best of its
type / would rather have we'll

w HlcH brings me to


the second bit OF important news in the
fur picture. The New York big fashion
shots who have been to the Paris Open
ings are back now screaming happily
about how much lush and glamour and
richness was everywhere at the open

You saw it, just moment ago, II
Hildegarde's silver fox cape at IL In the
morning You'll see it more and more
as the season progresses And, because
here is the natural place for it, you will
see it for the most part in marvellous
fur coats.
Helen Hayes has one--I glimpsed it
the other day, but hanging in the closet
and not on the back It IS a beautiful
fuii-length mink with some of the most
gorgeous skins I've ever seen in it. Yet
it is tailored and fitted as meticulously
as a wool coat. Gladys Swarthout has

Irene is known as radios best dressed

Brouillard came as near to success as
any fighter who has invaded Paris in

Denies Louis Is Unbeatable.

A FTER -eeing that fight with Bob
Pastor, you can't still tell me that
Louis is unbeatable" he said. THE
Schmeling fight should have been the
tip-of, when Schmeling moved around
Louis and beat him to the punch every
time, but some of you fellas seemed
to think that was a fluke, or some
thing. It wasn't a fluke. any more
than the Pastor fight. when Pastor
kept out of Louis range and jabbed
away at his nose.
Pastor did some pretty good
jabbing in there. 1t showed that
Louis can be bothered with left
hand as well as a right.
Now, look, if schmeling coulc lick
Louis with one hand Che hasn't got
any left and Pastor could fool him
with one hand Che didn't use his right
at alb, what do you suppose is going
to happen when some. ody goes after
Joe with both hands, fooling him with
the left and clipping him with the
right?
I've got two pretty good hands.
Baer couldn't get past my left, and
I've knocked out a lot of boys with
my right. I don't mean to sound like
I was boasting. Every fighter that
amounts to anything should be able
to use both of his hands. I figure
with my experience and equipment
should be able to beat Louis easy,
and probably knock him out"
There may have been 4 time when
Braddock shared the general fear of
Louis, but the last eight months have
convinced him that he can lick the
part-time Bomber any time he steps
through the ropes with him.
James resents the assumption
that he wants to fight Louis in
order to get the most available
cash before being belted out Of
the scenario.
Naturally, I like to take the shot
that offers the most dough-" he said,
"but I'm not planning to get knocked
out and retire. I'll beat Louis and I'll
be around for some more fights, too.
I'll fight Schmeling and anybody else
that comes along. The more fights I
have, the more money I'll make.
That's sense, isn't it? Why should
quit when can keep right on making
living?
This Louis fight is important to
me, not only because it'll draw money.
but because it'll give me the chance
to prove that I'm no cheese champion.
When lick Louis, maybe you fellas
will stop turning me over to the
old folks home every day. And don't
get me wrong. Louis is good fighter.
He can hit"
Mr.. Braddock has sketched out o
real campaign for himself there. He
may be the boy to go through with
it, too, but the answer Is not in the
back Of the book. James will have to
work 1t out for himself.

A Clever Boxer.

PRITTON always will be remembered
~ as one of the cleverest boxers the
ring ever has known. 1t was his mis-.
fortune to have Packey Mcfarland as
a contemporary at one stage OF his
long career, and he never could quite
beat Packey, although he fought him
several times and once got draw with
him in eight rounds.
Jack was 81 years old when he lost
the welterweight title to Mickey
Walker. The year before he had OUT
pointed Walker in a no-decision con-
test Of 10 rounds in Newark. On that
occasion the Toy Bulldog had rushed
at him at the opening bell and Jack
had spun him on his head with
straight right hand.
But Mickey had got up and kept pill
ing in for the remainder of the fight
and Jack had notion. when he
climbed out Of the ring that night, that
here at last was the young man who
probably would beat him sometime. H
was right about that. and, in 1924
Walker gained decision over him in a

Jack went right on boxing after he
had lost the title. He made lot Of

HAVING had his first fight under
the name by which his sidewalk
companions knew him best, he de-

the spelling to Britton and took Jack
as a first name because his middle

before he lost a fight, and he lost
that one on a foul-and soon there
was a demand for his services around
