Fight zion Joe Louis. 1t has
Galento? seemed that all
they could do
would be to match him against a
threesome = possibly Farr, Pastor
and Baer. But now there is actually
serious consideration of launching
him against the huge, dubious two
ton Tony Galento, the Orange, N. j.,
pub keeper who trains on beer and
hot dogs. Tony has never been
knocked down, but neither has
hippopotamus or steam shovel.
Built like a couple of hogsheads,
he is morass in which assailants
get swamped, like Japan in China.
He fights with his mouth open, as
if he were catching flies, which is
disconcerting to his opponent, as is
his failing, free-style, generally
scrambled attack. His defense con-
sists mainly in his absorbent quail
ties. They cut him to ribbons, but
never cut him down.
He has had about 70 fights.
Dumping Nathan Mann marked his
1rdlns on the ring. He has
APplejdck fattened Al Eft
And Beer tore, Leroy
Haynes, Charley
Massey and quite few not alto
gether negligible fighters, but, as
yet, no maulers of championship
specifications. For some of his fights
L 1nio oI1f
says he has found beer is best.
In the little family gin mill and
spaghetti palace, down by the rail
road tracks, he shadow boxes for
the customers and yells for match
with Louis. He says he would like
to have it barehanded in the cellar,
with $4,000 on the doorstep for the
man who comes out. They have a
two months old baby, who, says
his father, never will be fighter or
a barkeeper.
"Me-'' says Tony" they had to
burn down the school to get me out
of the fourth grade. I didn't know
my strength and one of my spitballs
knocked a teacher unconscious. I'll
make this new guy behave and he'll
grow up to be professor or DOCTOR"
Sir Patrick Hastings, counsel for
Countess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz-
Reventlow in her
Ao1Oye' TOT aborate and
FBabs' Wins complicated dis
Rio Cases agreement with
her husband, is
one of the most interesting front
page lawyers of London, usually
contender in any exciting interna-
tional wrangle in which London's
West End or New York's Park Ave-
nue. might be interested. He repre-
scented Mrs. Joan Sutherland in the
SANDER suit which grew out of Cos
sip about the Wallis Warfeld Simp-
son divorce suit. 1t was he who
got humping big damages for
Princess Youssoupof, in the suit
over the Metro-Goldwyn Rasputin
picture. He won the fight for the
Warner Brothers to keep Bette
Davis from appearing without their
consent.
In court, he has alluded to an cpl
sode when, hungry and footsore, he.
was turning his back on London, but
was somehow tagged back again by
an indulgent fate. He was trained
as mining engineer, fought in the
Boer war and returned to London
to precarious years in which he
spared for an opening. He was a
journalist, "leg man. around the
grubbiest of the police courts. In
his attic lodgings, he studied law
and was admitted to the bar-with
nice going thereafter. He now has
one of the largest professional in
comes in England. He was knight
ed in 1923 and was attorney general
in 1924
He is widely and intimately known
in social and literary circles, but
draws no class lines in his profess
sional work. One of his most spec
tacular cases was his defense of
the Welsh miners in 1925. He moves
into his middle sixties with no let
down in mind or person.
Sir Robert M. Hodgson is a
shadowy but noteworthy figure in Eu-
~ ropes diplomatic
Sasey 700 foreground
Handed about whom a
Sir Robert book may some
day be written. He
is Britain's go-between in delicate
regulations with Generalissimo
Franco of Spain about the bombing
of British ships. When he is on a
government mission, it is an indica-
ton that some subtle business is on.
He had retired in 1896, but Ne
vile Chamberlain called him back
as diplomatic pinch-hitter in this
ship-bombing embarrassment. He is
the son of an arch-deacon, of some
what clerical mien, and was in the
consular and diplomatic service for
many years. From 1924 to 1927. he
was British charge d'affairs at
Moscow. He is usually working quiz
