SCHME[|NG FACES
. DIFFERENT LOUIS
Levity That Marked Drills
for First Fight With
Teuton Missing.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, June 6.-The change
that has come over Joe Louis in the
two years since his first unfortunate
encounter with Max Schmeling's right
fst Is exempliied in his training
quarters at Pompton Lakes. N. j.
Compared to the hotspot at Lake
wood, where he trained. more or less
the other time. Joe's present retreat is
cross between an old folks home
and monastery garden.
They've even installed a green fence
around the old Colonial home where
the champ gets his slumber, and after
about 10 O'Clock of an evening there
isn't a sound to break the stiffness
except the deep, resonant snoring of
well-fed sparring partners.
Joe. the boxer who grew older.
spends much of his spare time rowing
heavy boat about the lake at his
back door, and perhaps even meditat-
ing.
Would Forget Lakewood
Veterans of the Lakewood camp
back in the days when Joe was the
brownest bomber of them all. recall
1t fondly as one Of the gayest. most
successful fish fries ever held in New
Jersey. Joe was pouting immortal
riding a merry-go-round.
No thoughts of Schmeling. the old
man training somewhere else. were
permitted to intrude upon the hilarity
OF Lakewood. Some who stayed around
long enough to grasp the real spirit
OF the carnival forgot completely who
1t was that Louis was getting ready
to bop over.
1t didn't much matter, because here
was the greatest fighter who ever
lived, a Veritable super fighter, and
who was Schmeling except a stubborn
German who had been knocked cold
by the playboy Max Baer.
Joe went through the motions of
training, but he devoted most of his
time to playing golf, shaking hands
with the hero-worshipers who crowded
his hotel, and listening to the music.
~AS AhoNS PSiSoiidi dPPCdI at
sandlot ball games to improve his
wind and stamina.
The mere mention of Lakewood now
causes the entire Louis encourage to
vince violently. It's something they
rather would forget.
Throw Rights at Joe.
This time, there can be slight
doubt, Louis will face Max in as near
perfect condition as a man can get.
Before he completes his training he
will have boxed at least 80 rounds with
the toughest lot of sparring partners
You ever looked at.
All OF them are encouraged. even
to throw right-hand wallops
at Joe's jaw, and he already has alb
sorbed thousand or 50. 1t is obvious
ne expects schmeling. to...ag him with
some more Of those leth:. haymakers,
and he is prepared to take them.
There is no inclination here to try
to name the winner at this stage of
the game, but you may be certain
that the Louis who climbs through the
ropes two weeks from Wednesday
night will be q better man In every
respect than the one Schmeling splat-
tered in 1896.

KEEN.FOR BATTLE,
LOU TELLS HENRY
Champion Has Been Waiting
a Year for Armstrong,
Adds Ambers' Pilot.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, June 6-Now that
the justly deserved paeans of praise
for Henry Armstrong have subsidized
for the moment. Lou Ambers, light
weight champion of the world. would
like to edge in word concerning his
coming engagement with Hustlin'
Henry.
Luigi grinned when he heard that
he was an innocent lamb on his way
to slaughter in Madison Square Gar
den.
Armstrong was quoted as saying he
was "loking for Lou Ambers" follow
ing his sensational win over Barney
Ross.
He Can Find Me-" Says Lou.
'He doesn't have to look for me.
He can find me-" Ambers cried.
His manager, shrewd Al WE'LL, de-
clared:
mo. sir, Armstrong never did have
to look for Lou and he won't have to
look for him on the night Of July 26!
I'VE wanted Armstrong last year
AOu udS always UCCn u I&Iltlu
champ. Didn't he give Tony Cam
zoneri a return fight after he won the
title, and didn't he beat him in Is
rounds?
Ambers No DOdger.
And what about Pedro Montanez?
I'll tell you what-he outpointed Lou
in a non-title fight and then Lou
took him on again for the title and
beat him from here to there.
HAS anybody heard Of Montanez
since?" Weilf demanded.
Lou nearly killed him. and Pedro
hits harder than Armstrong. So did
Canzoneri. ...
Lou is smart. He knows Arm
strong is good. but he's not running
away from him. Henry won't have no
trouble finding Lou Ambers."
