Pro Grid Races Down
To Two Teams Each
Entering Stretch
Redskins and Gionts,
Packers and Lions
Hold High Spots
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. Nov. 7.-Eastern and
Western division championship
drives In the National Professional
Football League shaped up today as
virtually two-team affairs-between
Washington and New York in the
East and Green Bay and Detroit in
the West.
Only outside chances remained for
Brooklyn and Chicago's Bears as the
season entered its final month.
Brooklyn was handicapped by two
ties while the Bears were slapped
down yesterday for the fourth time
in their last five games.
Green Bay. which accounted for
the Bears setback in maintaining
its Western Section lead, could
clinch a first place share by dispos-
ing of Detroit at the Motor City next
Sunday.
May Help Decide in East.
Undefeated since a month ago
when Detroit turned the trick, II to
7, the Packers have won seven games
in nine starts. After the Lion en-
counter they will end the Western
campaign in New York, where they
also may have part in deciding
the Eastern issue.
Washington's defending cham
pions have three more games in the
Eastern race. Next Sunday they
face the Bears, who despite the "a
toll title jolt handed them yester-
day by Green Bay, might shake of
their slump and spank the Red
skins, something they failed to do in
the 1887 title playoff.
The Bears outgained the Packers,
Is to 7, in first downs and 274 to
178 in total yardage as crowd Of
40,208 looked on, but three fumbles
paved the way to II Green Bay
points and ultimate victory for the
leaders.
Giants Meet Cleveland.
New York, which has four more
games to play, including finale
with Washington, takes on Cleve-
land next. The Giants came through

Summer Too Long to Woit
To SIoke Winter Thirst

It was Jack johnson and Battling
jim Johnson, in Paris, in 1914, and
The heavyweight championship of
the world was at stake. Technically,
the thing was an exhibition match,
but any time the heavyweight cham
pion of the world goes into a ring
to fight under a definite code
Queensbury or International Box
ing Federation-his title is on the
line. If the other fellow knocks
him dead, the world will recognize
the other fellow as champion.
Joe Louis has fought some fights
that amounted to exhibitions. He
was just warming up with King
Levinsky and Eddie Simms and
Charley Retzlaff and Matte Brown
(second timep. But if the Kingfsh,
for instance, heaven save the mark,
had elected to punch instead of
swooning with apprehensions, and
if he'd landed lucky one, the world
would have had a Levinsky for its
champion and a Nine. Levinsky for
its champions manager.
I'm not trying to start mass
panic. It's just an example.
In the early days of 1914, Massa
John Arthur johnson of Galveston,
Tex, champion of all the world, was
a lamister in Paris. There were
affairs against him over here.
What's more, Lii Artha was very
broke. Always free hand with a
franc or dollar, he spent what he
made as fast as he made it. And
he didn't make much.
At that time M. Theodore Vienne
and DR.. Daniel McKetrick were
building up title fight between Lii
Artha and Frank Moran. 1t prom
ised to do good business, and the
future did not look too dark to Mr..
johnson. He knew he would come
into dough in June. But June's
harvest will not pay for Januarys
champagne. M. Vienne and Dr. Nc
Ketrick were not putting out any
advance money. A long dry spell
yawned ahead of our hero unless he
could make couple Of fast bucks
without delay.

Champ With Arm Broken
Hos Bockers JitteY

Get me a fight" said the golden
fanged Galvestonian to DR.. Nc
ketrick
What do you want with a fight?"
demanded the worthy doctor. You
got a fight
It's too long to wait" said Lii
Artha. I'm thirsty"
All of the doctors admonitions and
pleas were to no avail
Get me Battling Jim Johnson"
said the champion. Il can lick him
six times every Tuesday"
This was pretty fair summary
Of the case, but Dr. McKetrick was
nonetheless uneasy as he went about
the business of renting a hall and
selling tickets. Anything can hap
pen in prize ring. This time, any
thing almost did.
The hall was not big, and the
doctor did not sell many tickets.
The two dark Johnsons fought for
peanuts-S3 000-as we'll as the
heavyweight championship of the
world. The champions end was 35
per cent, and the Battler's was con-
siderably less than that.
The thing was billed for 10 rounds
Fully aware that he was the better
johnson, Lii Artha cuffed the Bat
tier scornfully and with gusto, port
and starboard. He did so for three
or four rounds. Then he ceased to
cuff from the starboard side. He
kept his right cooked, but never
threw 1t. He jabbed with his left
and wrestled from that side, and
pursued what seemed to the irri-
tated fans to be highly Fabian
policy.
DR., McKetrick scowled darkly at
the champion. The champion shook
his head. Between rounds, he
tapped his right forearm signifi-
cantly for the doctor to see. The
arm was broken. DR.. McKetrick
and M. Vienne died several deaths
In their chairs before Lii Artha
Weathered the storm and came
safely through the end Of the 10th
round. Battling Jim Johnson never
did quite catch on, but he was getting
mighty suspicious toward the close.
AS for the champion of the world
he discovered that you can lift a
glass with YOUR left hand as well as
your right, and you can lift several
glasses with 35 per cent of $4,000.

ties. Our line, though, was not
so good on downfield blocking
because if it had been we might
have had a couple Of touchdowns
more. Especially was that the
case when Don Irwin, after TAX
ing a pass in the fiat from
Frank Filchock, handed the ball
to Riley Smith as he sped by him.
Smith should have had a touch
down on the play, but most of
the linemen simply stood and
watched him run instead Of DASH
ing to his assistance to provide
blocking.

Bat fought white men, black men,
brown men and yellow men, but
heavyweight champions have not
been so broad-minded.
John L. Sullivan wouldn't fight
Peter Jackson. Jim Jeffries wouldn't
fight Jack Johnson until he vir-
tually was forced to do so. john
son wouldn't fight Sam Langford,
falling back on the two-edged plea
that (a) he had beaten Langford
once and (b) there was no demand
for fight between two Negroes for
the title. Jack Dempsey never
fought Harry Wills, although there
is evidence to the effect that Jack
was willing enough but was barred
off by Jack Kearns and Tex Richard
A Quaint Notion.
Louis and his managers, John
RoXborough and Julian Black, have
quaint notion that the heavyweight
champion of the world should be
that-the best fighter in the ring.
And in furtherance of that notion,
they not only have barred nobody
DuC nave q ne OUT OF Cner way 10
take in everybody.
This notion has guided them right
from the beginning Of Louis career
as professional fighter. Older and
presumably smarter managers ad-
vised them against taking certain
opponents for Joe when he was on
the way up.
This didn't bother Roxborough or
Black in the least. They continued
to match Louis with every fighter
who had a claim to a match with
him and Joe tllmbled the cuties, the
roughies, the clowns and the spoilers
In the same pile and went right on
