SAYS JOE LOUIS
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.- Even
Joe Louis, most rabid Of all De-
troit baseball fans, is about ready
to admit the Yankees have, too
much power for the rest Of the
American League.
Joe turned clam on fight talk
during the weighing-in ceremo

to say about baseball.

roomful of officials, fighters,

South Side Chicago man, "whut

Somebody suggested the Tigers

Paul was ordered to do some
pitching.
He was afraid to let go the ball
as ordered, it was said in st. Louis,
and he was sent home to rest and
work himself into condition. He
still is out Of action.
Baseball would suffer temper
arily from the loss Of Dizzy Dean
in the event that his current all
ment should prove serious. Some
of his detractors proclaim him a
clown, and make all manner Of

By WILFRID SMITH

For two hours last night under

the members of the All-Stars

At the conclusion Of the drill, one

training periods, the coaches ad-
mitted that while they still are
dubious concerning the effective
ness of the defense. that the at
tack had reached the point where
they reasonably could expect to

This optimistic attitude pr.
marily is based on the splendid
work of Capt. Sammy Baugh, Ray

RAIN PLEASES
EVERYONE BUT
VISITING FANS
Louis and Farr
Plan Workouts
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

International News Service Sports EditOP
NEW YORK, Aug. ~ GN.SJ.
Yesterdays pennies from heaven
were transformed into box office
dollars today as Joe Louis and
Tommy Farr trudged back to
their respective training camps
and Promoter Mike Jacobs busted
himself anew with the ever en-
joyable task of peddling tickets
for the title bout, now set for
Monday.
Jacobs, in a burst of optimism,
predicted that an additional $75,.
600 would find its way into the
till as a result of the postpone
ment.
I'm sure of close to $4,000
right now" said he, Including
the 100000 for radio and pic
ture rights. The race crowd
will be back from Saratoga by
Sunday, and so will thousands
of fight fans on vacations. Don't
forget that Monday is the last
day Of August and officially
ends vacations"
Yesterdays rain, in fact, pleased
everybody except the out-of-town
customers who will be clipped for
hotel bills during part or all Of
the interim. Farr was especially
pleased by the delay.
LITTLE OVERWEIGHT
IT have four pounds of su-
perfluous weight about my
body which I didn't time just
right" he explained. IT will
lose those four pounds by Mon
day. And besides that, this
slight cut on my cheek will be
healed as tight as a drum"
The postponement was not so
pleasing to Louis, who appeared to
be on razor edge at the Weighing.
in ceremonies yesterday. Main
tanning that fighting edge will be
no sinecure.
The delay also will earn few
extra dollars for the sparring
partners Of the rival gladiatorS, as
both planned to box today and
tomorrow, followed by limbering
up exercises Sunday. The add.
tional emolument will be most &C.
ceptable to the cauliflowered
guinea pigs in the Farr menage,
although none Of the hired help
at the. lar pion's Pompton Lakes
abattoir was reported turning
handsprings at the moment Of
galloping to press.
A belt by any other name from
Louis feels no Sweeter in the in
term.
SOME FAIR MONEY
This Mr.. Farr, who came to
the premature weighing-in yes
terday reflrcting an odd degree Of
confidence, somehow took back
with him tc Long Branch the feel
ing that original odds Of Z to 1
were so far out of line that they
were subject to instant and revo-
lutionary change.
For instance, Dan Cooper, Lon
don bookmaker, called Jock Doyle,
the Broadway price-fixer, on the
transatlantic telephone last night,
offering to bet bet a thousand
pounds at the current odds.
1.-THE moment as much as 500
is offered on FAIR at 2 to 1, the
price goes down two points, -
Doyle declared. "A threat by as
much as $1,000 might send the
price to even money at the ring.
side"
Meantime, Max Schmeling, the
outstanding spectator, was indig-
nant about an effer Of 1871 per
cent from Jacobs for a fight with
the winner on october IL.
HE offered me 80 per cent
last june" said the German,
mildly upset by-this evidence Of
American finance. "Now he
makes it 12h. Vas iss das?
viii meier fight for Less than 80"
And if he keeps on talking like
that, he may never fight.

For hardly had the commo-

out of the office Of the New

sion which served an ulti-
matum on the Black Uhlan of
the Rhine that it was time for
him to put up or shut up-to
put it plainly.
Brig. Gen. John J. Phelan, as
stern a taskmaster in the chair Of

q war time officer, told Schmeling
in words Of which there could be
no double meaning, that if he
wished to meet the Louis-Farr win

amounts to that, as by another
