WIN IN ONE ROUND,
LOUIS PREDICTION.
Joe Says He's Learned Lot
Since Loss to SchmelinQ
One Year Ago.
BY the Associated Press.

~ ENO6HA. Wis. June l9.-Joe
V Louis observed the first ami
n versary Of his knockout defeat
L y by MAX Schmeling today with
the very unwilling prediction that he
was confident he could knock James ].
Bnddock kicking within one round.
4 think I can get Braddock in one
round" drawled the dark angel. Il
feel hundred per cent better than
did . year ago; I've learned lot and
punch Is hard or harder than ever"
A few minutes later, Joe, so it was
told, said he didn't want to be quoted
on this round stun because he thinks
It's unlucky, but he said it. Braddock
and his noisy manager, Joe Gould,
who have been waiting for the usual
prediction, can rest easier now.
II Louis makes good In his predic-
tion, he will smash all records for win
ming the most coveted and valuable
prize for monetary basis in sport. No
man ever has won the crown within
three years Of campaigning, and no
man has succeeded In dethroning .
champion within three minutes.
IDuis - Crowd From Start.
MOST experts seem convinced Louis
will have to polish of Braddock
within one to four rounds or not At all
In the few fights Louis has been forced
to work overtime, he has appeared
hstless and slow. Bob Pastor might
have scored = victory over the Bomber
in their track meet because Joe was
tired and missing like 1906 steam
engine from the sixth round.
Up here, where Louis is reaching
his peak with perfect timing. the
belief Is that Braddock, always .
shaky starter and = grand finisher.
will try to stall and spar over the
first four rounds and then open up
II he lasts that long. So, Trainer
Jack Blackburn expects to send the
Bomber out swinging.
"Joe's going to watch his defense"
said Blackburn, but he's going to
crowd right In. always I said any man
can get licked with one good punch
and our idea Is to have Joe get in the
first lick"

BRADDOCK'SF|CH
PLAN IS MYSTERY
Champ, in Training, Varies
His Attack-Gets EdQy
as Bout kears.

- RAND BEACH, Mich. June
19.-Just how James j.
Braddock proposes to fight
~ Joe Louis In their heavy
weight title contest In ComLskey Park,
Chicago, next Tuesday night, re-
mained the big mystery of the cham
pion's camp today.
Usually Braddock relies upon a long,
straight left to keep his man on the
defensive while he wades in and
punches away with his favorite
weapon-a right hand belt-but the
1rishman's tactics In recent drills in
dicate he may have other plans in
the back of his curly head.
Last Tuesday and again on Thurs
day, Jim virtually discarded his left
hand safety valve to charge In and
wage an aggressive two-fisted war
against his five sparring partners.
Instead Of staying mostly on the de-
fensive while seeking openings for his
right. the champion has taken the
initiative and has carried the fighting
to his shock Disorders.
Looks Better Carrying Fight.
INCIDENTALLY, 1t may be said that
in doing 50 he Jared much better
than when following the lines OF
caution he employed to outpoint Max
Baer for the title two years ago.
Jimmy has insisted all along he
detected weaknesses in the Bomber's
attack and defense and this new style
Of battling may be tn line with what
he feels is the best plan Of strategy
for the first defense Of his title.
Time and again during his two most
recent workouts, Braddock has stood
hat-footed and deliberately let such
lusty belters as Max Roesch, former
Southern Methodist foot ball star, and
Jack Mccarthy Of Boston smash him
with licks to the jaw. He'd shake
them Oh, then rush in and run the
erstwhile sockers ragged.
Develops Mean Edge"
THE champ went to work today after
a24-hour lay-on during which he
took q walk in the woods, played his
portable phonograph, read 4 mystery
story and developed one of the finest

Hit Six Times, Says AL.

&IMMONS, whose broken 1inger and
~ knuckle will be encased in 4 cast
today, had = spirited piece to speak
on Hildebrand. Ever since he came
into the league" declared the Wash
lngton outfielder, "he's been throwing
at me. think yesterday was the
sixth time he's hit me-"
Grifith almost certainly will find
that most OF the Nationals believe
Hildebrand guilty Of busting of" hit
ters. In addition to Stone there are
others who have been forced to hit
the dirt in order to evade = pitch. Joe
kuhel was one. Last year in C,eve-
land, Kuhel accused Hildebrand of
throwing at him and he went after
the pitcher with = bat. Later Joe
attempted to spike him after bunting
and forcing Hildebrand to cover first
base.
Most Of the Nationals do not hesi-
Ate to charge that Hildebrand Is de-
uberate In his beaning tactics.
I'm not speaking only Of Hide
Arand," said Griffith Il think any
pitcher who hits m unusual number
OF batters ought to be watched
closely. That's too dangerous 4 prac-
Ace."
In the case OF Simmons it was q
saost expensive pitch that struck him
bn the fourth inning yesterday while
his fingers were wrapped around the
bat. Ex-Rays, taken shortly after

damage and 1t now is estimated that
Al will be out Of the game for ap-
Droximately three weeks.

Hill Inherits AIS JOA.


THIS Is 4 staggering blow to the
- Nationals. In the last six weeks
Ahe big slusger had been wearing the
hall out, playing the best defensive
hall Of any outfielder on the club and
driving across runs.
Manager Bucky Harris. dismayed at
khe prospect Of going along without
Simmons, has announced that Jesse
Hill will inherit Simmons post, al
though Fred Sington may step in
should Hill fail to deliver At bat. Jesse
h 4 far better ball hawk than Fred
Ind with Washington's pitching as 1t
b. somebody who can gobble up long
drives Is very necessary.
Simmons injury cast q pail over
he entire club, some of whose men,
Aers were getting ready to look upon
1he Simmons-Bnl Knickerbocker bat
kle Of fsts yesterday as . good omen.
After he was struck by Hildebrands
pitch Simmons accused the pitcher of
throwing at him and made = pass at
Oral. The pitcher ducked out OF
reach and Umpire Chief Cal Hub
bard had to escort Simmons to first
base 70 as to keep him from chasing
Hildebrarid.
Knickerbocker, resenting Simmons
Threat to punch Hildebrand, delivered
= few uncomplimentary remarks and
AIS rage was redoubled. Then Cecil
Travis. next up, bounded to the box
and Hildebrand threw to Knick to
force Simmons.

Seeks to Enlist Workers

gaining Agency.
BY the Associated Press.

HERSHEY, Pa. April "a - The
United Chocolate Workers of America
renewed today drive to enlist in the
union employees of the Hershey Choc-
olate Corp. who rejected it as their
agency for collective bargaining
In an election supervised by the
National Labor Relations Board, the
employees voted almost 2 to l yester-
day against accepting the union. an
affiliate of the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, as their represent
ative.
Maj. Stanley W. Root, regional di-
rector Of the Labor Relations Board,
announced the vote; 1,542 against the
union and 781 for it.
Russell Behman, president of the
union. said last night, I'VE will not
give up our fight to organize the en-
ployes of the Hershey Chocolate
Corp"
William F. R. Murrie, president Of
the company, contended the vote
showed workers were satisfied with
their treatment.
The election was the first to be held
in the United States since the Wagner
labor act was upheld by the Supreme
Court. 1t was called as part of an
agreement April II that ended a
strike started at the Hershey factory

Missing Utilities Unit Report
On C.. e. p. Is Hunted by Engel

clared Engel. There were some re-
ports, particularly the one relating to
nepotism in the District service, which
didn't appear In the record Of the
hearings because 1t would have cost
too much to have them printed These
reports, however, are available for
public inspection at any time"
Engel telephoned Keech, hoping to
solve the mystery. But Keech only
served to deepen it. He told Engel
the missing report concerned htiga-
tion in which the telephone company
had been involved, and had not been
requested by the subcommittee. More
over, he said the report was written
in pencil on yellow office paper.
Just imagine" said Engel, "a utili-
ties commission sending penciled
report to a committee Of Congress
I never heard of anything like it
before"
Keech, incidentally, is having a copy
Of the report prepared for the Tax
Subcommittee for submission Tuesday

ACCUSER0 Of GABLE
|. IS FOUND GUILTY
Woman Clings to Belief Star
Is Father of Her
Daughter.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, April 24.--A tall,
solidly-built Engllshwoman persisted
today in asserting Clark Gable is the
father of her illegitimate daughter
after her conviction of mail fraud.
Mrs Violet Wells Norton faced the
prospect of fve-year prison term un-
f1inchingly in her belief the film actor
was the Frank Billings" she said Sc
duced her in 1923.
she hasn't the slightest doubt Of it,"
said her attorney, Morris Lavine.
What happened in that court room
hasn't shaken her belief in the least"
Gable, whose appearances in court
were the signal for a rush of women
to spectators seats, testified he never
saw Mrs, Norton before and never was
| in England, but after her conviction
he expressed regret at the possibility
OF her being separated from her child.
Demanded Support.
Mrs. Norton wrote letters to Gable,
to Actress Mae West and many other
Hollywood film folk, telling her story
and demanding that Gable be made to
support her 13-year-old Gwendoline
A jury of middle-aged business men
required only l hour and S. minutes
to find her guilty of mail fraud. The
law provides five years imprisonment
or $1,000 fine, or both.
Lavine, her attorney, said he would
petition for probation, $50 that she
can leave the country"
shes martyr to her belief" he
asserted
She should have changed her
story after seeing Gable in court
yesterday. She should have said she
was mistaken in thinking he was the
Frank Billings she knew. Then she
would have gone free"
Lavine'S defense was that Mrs. Nor
ton had made IAN honest mistake" in
identity.
But she wouldn't do that" the
attorney continued. The jury almost
had to return verdict of guilty to
clear Gables name, as, rightly, it
should be cleared"
Woman Collapses.
She sat still for moment after the
court clerk read the verdict. Her
attorney patted her arm, but she
seemed not to notice him. Then,
she collapsed and began to sob
uncontrollably.
Leaving the court room, she met
Gwendoline, also weeping bitterly
The child threw herself into her
mothers arms and both murmured
words of consolation
Gable, who was not in court, said
from the film studio, Il was only a
witness in the case and had nothing
to do with Mrs. Norton's accusation.
However, it is unfortunate she has
come to grief in such manner, par
ticularly because of her children" !"
Returned to the county Jail, Mrs.
Norton again demanded that the
actor submit to a blood test, for COM
parison with her own. She was
extremely excited.
That will prove my innocence"
she cried. They've got to do that"
Frank L. Smith, investigator, and
codefendant was exonerated of con-
spiracy in the case and freed.

resentative Engel, Republican, OF

District Subcommittee on Appropria-
tions, for Public Utilities Commits
sion report on the c. 81 P. Telephone
Co.. which apparently has mysteriously
disappeared.
Richmond B. Keech, vice chairman
of the commission, gave the special
Tax Subcommittee of the District
Legislative Committee of the House
the impression the other day that the
Appropriations Committee had sup
pressed the report. He said the re-
port had been sent to the Appropria-
tions Subcommittee during its hear
ings on the 1888 District supply bill,
but had not appeared in the record
of the hearings.
The disappearance of the report did
not concern Engel so much, but he
did become aroused over newspaper
headline which declared it had been
suppressed.

NATHAN BACHMAN,|
SENATOR, %, DIES
7 Tennesseean Was Roosevelt
Supporter and One of First
T. v. A. Advocates.

Senator Nathan Lynn Bachman, So,
Democrat, OF Tennessee, an admins
tration supporter and one of the first
advocates Of the Tennessee Valley
Authority, died last night at his apart
ment in the Continental Hotel
Friends said they understood heart
attack caused his death. DR.. ]. Rus
sell Verbrycke said he had been a
little ailing" for week, but did mot
really become Ill" until yesterday.
The physician said he called on the
Senator yesterday afternoon and ad-
vised him to SO to hospital. He was
summoned again to the Senator's
apartment last night, but Mr.. Bach
man died before he arrived.
Mrs. Bachman, who was motoring
to Chattanooga, was informed Of her
husbands death at Roanoke, Va,
where she had stopped for the night.
She told aides of the Senator here
that she would continue to Chat
tanooga, where the funeral will be held
Monday.
Besides his widow, Senator Bach
man is survived by q daughter, Mrs.
Thomas c. Mccoy Of Asheville, N. c.
Successor to Hull.
Mr.. Bachman Was appointed to the
Senate in 1888 to flll the seat vacated
by Cordell Hull when the latter was
made Secretary of State. Secretary
Hull today characterized his death as
an "irreparable loss" The Senator was
elected for the remainder Of the term
in 1884 and won q full term last year.
He was the FIRST Senator to die since
Congress convened In January.
A former associate justice Of the
Tennessee State Supreme Court, Mr..
Bachman was among an approximate
third Of the Senate membership un-
committed on the current controversy
over the Roosevelt court bill.
Although he had not publicly COM
mitted himself on the proposal, how
ever. his close associates said he had
indicated some opposition to its prin-
ciples.
The tall, broad-shouldered Ten
nesseean became widely known during
his four years on Capitol Hill for his
ready wit as a story teller and for his
distinctive dress. His starched white
shirt never was covered by a vest,
and he always tucked black string
tie under his stiff collar
Nine seasons Of playing college foot
ball at Southwestern Presbyterian
University, Center College. the Uni
versity Of Chattanooga, Washington
and Lee and the University Of Vir-
ginia gave him continuing interest
in sports
He was a favorite companion of
Vice President Garner and was fire.
quently seen in the company Of the
Texan at base ball games.
A native Of Chattanooga, where he
was born August 2, 1878, and the son
of Presbyterian minister, DR.. JON
athan w. Bachman, the Senator was
noted in his youth for his mischievous
pranks, which he once said jokingly
caused him to be kicked out" OF three
colleges
His distinguished legal career, how
ever, later won for him a Phi Beta
Kappa Key from the University of
Virginia and the degree of doctor OF
