IT WAS tough competition rs well
for Braddock, who lost his title to
Joe last summer In Chicago. Jim boxed
six rounds as hard as he could 20 and
looked good outside of occasional wild
swings with his right He said, re-
ferring to tomorrow nights scrap: I'll
be in there winging them" But what
everybody wanted to know was: Who
did Louis think would win?
Joe, who is learning the art Of
speech rapidly these days, didn't say.
1t was easy to detect. though, that
the champion would like to see Brad
dock knock Farr bow-legged.' He
doesn't like the voluble Welshman very
much.
If there's knockout, Braddock
ought to land 1t" said Joe, watching
the ex-champ get around He can

Chicago, didn't he? And he stood
up and fought me. Farr can't hit
hard enough to hurt"
Some one suggested that Farr, after
all, had proved that he could take
plenty punching when he stood up
to Louis for Is rounds at the Yankee
Stadium-that he must be tough.

demurred. II didn't hit him with q

IT WAS the first time that Louis
had discussed his bout with Farr
to any extent. Immediately after that
tight heasaid the customary things,
that thf Welshman was a mighty
hard one to beat. etc. But it became
clear al Joe talked this time that he
doesn't hold the Ton-y-pandy terror in
very high regard. His audience was
somewhat impressed. and it was pre-
dicted that the current 8-to-5 odds on
Farr to win tomorrow night would be
reduced before fight time.
If was going to fight the two of
them again, I would take Braddock
more serious" said Louis. He can
go 10 rouns, all right. and he's dan
gerous until he's on the canvas"
Braddock was finishing his train
ing with a bit of road work today,
and Louis was moving into his bed

ROASTING SHIT
ATPENAL SESSION
American Prison Congress
Opens 68th Convention
at st. Paul.

Ey tuS ASsOCldteQ fTeSS.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 3.-The Nations
leading penologists and social work
ers pondered the problems of crime
prison reform and kindred subjects as
the 68th annual convention of the
American Prison Congress opened
= today.
b Meeting simultaneously were the
American Parole Association, National
Conference of Juvenile Agencies, Ma
tional Wardens' Association, National
Probation Association, National Pris-
oners' Aid Association and the Chap
lains' Association.
A bitter denunciation of the "roast-
ing to death" of four convicts in the
Philadelphia County Prison last Au-
gust was voiced before the opening
general session by Warden E. B. Swope
of the United States Penitentiary
Mcneil Island, Washington.
His criticism followed similar con-
demnation by William B. Cox, execu-
tive secretary of the Osborne Associa-
ton, prison reform and survey group
bNlplC a 1IiSCtilS 1dcI iilSiit.
Mr.. Cox said that, although physical
and mental torture are found less fire.
quently than formerly, ''it would bt
a mistake for us to shut our eyes tc
the fact that they still exist" after
calling attention to the Philadelphia
episode.
Warden Swope, asserting discipline
in prison is frequently confused with
punishment, contended punishment j!
not necessary as a general rule to hole
most prisoners in line. He said meas
ures to avoid trouble are more i'm.
portant.
As an example, Mr. Swope pointed
to the four Philadelphia deaths which
he said "the public has universally
condemned" as a type of discipline.
