be Louis for him to fight in September.
1t is a year in which he can
be swept from the heights-or
establish himself as q better
fighter than many have con-
ceded him to be up to now.
Due to his lack of speed-his two
year lay-of from actual fighting-the
odds will be against him by decided
margin, possibly 3 to l. Schmeling is
faster, younger and harder puncher.

John Henry Lewis and he very def

name was getting into the news
papers again and he was matched
to fight Art Lasky, who was being
groomed as the No. 1 contender for
Paer, but he still was broke and in
debt.
His rent hadn't been paid for
months and feeding his family took
every nickel he or Joe Gould could
borrow or scrape together, for his
purses for two fights over a six
months period had totaled less than
81, 1000 and he had owed that money
to somebody before he got his hands
on it.
He worked doggedIy in a gym

pulled his belt in another notch

When his workout was over he

VENTURE THREAT
TO AMBERS' RULE
italian Star Qualities as
Lightweight Challenger.
in Draw With Lou.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. January e.-When
M Lou Ambers' six months of
" grace are up and he gets ready
a to defend his lightweight
championship. he'll probably have q
ready-made challenger for the title.
Enrico Ventura, the Italian flash, was
ready to move into that No. spot
today after an unsatisfactory 10-round
draw with Ambers in an overweight
match at Madison Square Garden last
night. He had won a dozen bouts in
this country before meeting Ambers.
A crowd Of close to 10000 fans, who
paid $l8,88631, greeted the draw de-
cision with round of deriSive booing.
Many thought Ventura had handed
Ambers his third setback during his
championship reign.
Ambers' Record Sp0tty.
SINCE he whipped Tony Canzoneri
for the crown, Ambers has been
beaten by Eddie Cool, Philadelphia
lightweight. and the come backing
jimmy Mcbarnln in non-title bouts.
He still has about two months before
ne will re required to put his title on
the block.
Before last nights bout, the Italians
supporters sought to make it a
championship go or at least have
Ventura named the outstanding chal-
lenger. The New York State Athletic
Commission ruled out the proposal,
decreeing, in effect, he first would
have to show what he could do
against Ambers in a non-title mill.
Ventura Furnishes Lou.
NENTURI showed all concerned
last night. After the first three
rounds in which his extra caution
allowed Ambers to pile up a point
margin. the clever Italian went to
work, hit the "Herkimer Hurricane"
almost at will and made the champ
miss badly with his dangerous right.
Although Ambers scored the only
knockdown when he dropped Ventura
for one count with a right hand
smash in the second. the Associated
Press score card credited six rounds
to the Italian and three to the title
holder.

"a stretch in which the mob had

way when he came swinging down
the street.
1t isn't that Jim has hit the
rose -strewn path, as some other
champions have, or that he has
allowed a layer Of fat to grow
over his muscles.
As a matter of fact, he has been
very active, has watched his diet and
kept sharply away from any SEM
blance Of riotous living. Boxing in
exhibitions. working out in gymna-
siums, acting as referee of boxing
and wrestling matches, chopping
wood, playing golf, fishing and tramp
ing over the rolling hills-these have
kept him on the move, and the last
time I saw him in New York, which
was Just about a month ago, he
weighed 1875 pounds, or only 3 pounds
more than he weighed the night he
wrested the title from Baer.

FISHERMEN GIVEN
COMFORT Of HOME
Innovations in Motor Boats

n YEW YORK, January 9.-Fish-
M ing with ali the comforts Of
" home-that's what is offered
4 Waltonites by motor and sail
boat builders at the 37th annual
motor boat show this week.
With innovations and special equip
ment on virtually all fishing craft, it's
a case Of play your line as you COM
fortably please these days. There's
everything on hand from swivel
chairs to acknowledgements bait
boxes that keep the "chum" cool for
conlented fishes.
Along with the return Of prosperity
to the boating industry and with
motor boating now available for the
poor mans pocketbook, manufacture
ers are throwing in these ease-pro-
ducing details with new designs in all
exhibits from the smallest canoe to
the 50-foot cruiser.
New York Is Attracted.
T ANDLUBBER New Workers. whose
only previous experience has been
on the swaying subway decks. are go
ing for it in a big way at Grand
Central Palace, where the show got
under way last night.
The swivel chair idea, which preVi-
ously was seen only on the decks Of
the millionaire" cruiser class, is
spreading to the boats now in the
I1it
These chairs are equipped with foot
rests and backrests.
New-type fishwells are constructed
on the decks of some of the craft.
When the catch is brought in, it is
dumped into these wells and fresh
water is continually pumped in to keep
the fish alive until port is reached.
Exhaust Evil Erased.
FISHERMEN who used to be both
cred with the engine exhaust
steaming from the stern Of their boats
are in for a surprise. New-type ex-
haust pipes carry the waste vapors out
of range through the outriggers before
expelling them.
Below decks on some of the vessels,
long. extra height compartments have
been constructed for rods and special
lockers for reels.
One of the newest doo-dads is
triple control. Built in few Of the
larger fishermen, this makes the craft
completely controllable, even from the
bow, If heavy strike is made and
there isn't time to notify the helms
man on the bridge to get about in a
hurry.
Many Of these new aids were in
stalled at the suggestion of profess
sional and veteran fishermen who
found them lacking and thought
they'd be nice to have around. The
development of buying market" in
the last two years has enabled the
builders to spread themselves in add
