Lou Made HEAVY
Choice, Despite
Tony Punch
Bout in Same PhiIIy
Arena Where Dempsey
Lost His Title
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-Be-
fore a crowd expected to reach
10000, Barkeeper Tony Galento and
Collegian Lou Nova tangle in Mu-
nicipal Stadium tonight for a piece
of change and the rather doubtful
pleasure of meeting Joe Louis next
year.
The fistic faithful figured to ring
the cash register at the 100000
mark or over for Co-Promoters
Mike Jacobs and Herman Taylor,
who are putting on this scheduled
15-round tea party at pm. in the
same ring in which Jack Dempsey
was dethroned by Gene Tunney 13
years ago.
AS weigh-in time approached, the
odds on Nova continued to stand at
l to 2, generally regarded as out of
proportion against the pudgy
puncher who had Louis on the floor
in Yankee Stadium less than three
months ago. One explanation was
that the price had been "upped" to
lure wagers, since little betting
activity has been noted.
Both Cunning for Louis.
The winner of this bout gets
shot at Louis heavyweight crown
next year, provided, of course, the
Brown Bomber slips by Bob Pastor
in Detroit next Wednesday. Nova
has Skyrocketed to the front rank
of the heavyweights only in the past
year or SO, largely on victories over
Gunnar Barlund and Durable
Tommy Farr and technical knock
out of Madcap Make Baer.
Galento, on the other hand, is an
old campaigner along the fstic trail.
On the pugilistic ash heap five years
ago, he came back to chalk up
long string of knockouts and win a
chance at Louis last June. Louis
fearful artillery stopped the beer
keg that walks in four rounds on
that occasion, giving him a thor
ough going over, but only after
Galento had hurt him in the first
round and dropped him in the third.
Tony Predicts Knockout.
AS might be expected, each of
the punch tossers is confident he'll
finish on top. Each predicts a
knockout victory. Nova, grimly de-
termined to be next heavyweight
champion, says he'll cut Tony SO
badly the referee will have to halt
the blood-letting in six rounds. The
Orange N. j. pubkeeper counters
that his left hand will put the Cali
fornia kid to sleep in five.
Unusual angle of this fight was
the selection of the veteran George
Blake of California as referee. Be-
fore he would accept the bout
quiet Ray Carlen, manager of Nova,
insisted on either Blake or Arthur
Donovan of New York. Joe Jacobs,
Galento's pilot, squawked over the
possibility of Donovan as referee
after the New Yorker took five
rounds away from Henry Arm
strong in his recent unsuccessful
lightweight title defense against
Lou Ambers.

Bronlwich Clash
Made 10 Order
For Gil Hunt
D. c. Tennis Enigma
Big Threat in Tilt
With Aussie Today
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer


FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. Is
The enigma of bigtime tennis, Gill
bert Hunt, jr., faced one Of his ia
vorite situations today in the quar-
terminals of the national Champion
ships at Forest Hills. His deep-set
eyes were cleaning even a little
brighter than usual, for he was
paired against Jack Bromwich,
champion of Australia.
Not many players look forward to
session with the ambidexterous
Aussie. He can keep a ball in play
practically forever. But Hunt, a
moody, unpredictable fellow from
Washington, D. c., never is COM
pletely happy unless he's knocking
off one of the big shots.
Strictly on hunch, some other
wise sane observers we're backing
him to beat Bromwich, though their
respective world rankings and COM
mon sense insisted Hunt didn't have
a chance. Hunts supporters only
know that their man on a given day
is capable OF playing some of the
81 lCdGCSt lcIllllS ever SeGIl.
Hunt Now Less Eccentric.
Last year he blasted Bobby Riggs
out OF the tournament, and two days
ago he hung 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 beat
ing around frankie Parker's neck.
After all. these were our two Davis
Cup singles players fortnight ago
at Merion Hunt, of course, wasn't
considered for the team and he was
seeded 10th among the domestic
players at Forest Hills. He has no
business being in the quarter finals,
but there he is.
Hunt is somewhat less eccentric
this year than he was last. For
one thing, he's using a regular
stock racket, just like the other
players. Last year, when he upset
Riggs, he was swinging an ancient
bat that he had loaded with lead
foil until it lifted like an anvil.
His game is improved, despite the
limited competition he has had. In
the fore court he has perhaps the
most beautiful touch of any player
in the game, and once he gets his
nose hung over the net he's prac-
tically unbeatable.
Prior to his match Don McNeill
Of Oklahoma City and Joe Hunt Of
Annapolis were scheduled to clear

Evening star., 1939-09-15
By LEWIS ATCHISON.

Not unlike other foung fellows
who hurled Youth and enthusiasm
into new job determined to make
good, Joe Louis is beginning to real
ize there is little future to this
business of being heavyweight cham
pion and possibly is wondering if
he isn't in rut. The honey-col-
ored kayo king is alarmingly near
the end of his career, whether he
likes to admit it or not, and no more
promotion is in prospect.
After Louis disposes of back-ped-
aling Bob Pastor next week, pre-
Stunning he will, of course, only one
opponent remains to be brushed
aside-the winner of the Galento-
Nova knuckle party tonight at Phil
adelphia. And if Galento should
win it there hardly would be excuse
enough to pit him against the black
panther again, for Louis conclusively
demonstrated his superiority over
the corpulent Italian earlier in the
summer.
After Nova, Nothing.
But after Nova, what? Well, only
retirement unless Joe wants to pick
on old Jack Blackburn or the neigh
borhood urchins.
Who can the guy fight? There
isn't a logical contender in sight,
and >we doubt if Mike Jacobs can
build up a challenger quickly enough
to make it paying proposition.
And if he can't the only way to
keep Louis fading ring career alive
is to pit him against an unending
stream of ffth-rate exhibition punks
which raises the income tax is
sue. Joe's handlers say it isn't
profitable to fight more than once
a year because the Government takes
all the money in taxes. Joe's pa
triotic enough, but isn't planning
a one-man campaign to lift the
country out of the red.
Thus, we figure that along about
1941, or at least AZ, Mistuh Louis
Evening star., 1939-09-15
Retirement Appears All Louis
Could ProfitobIy Consider
After Disposing of Nova

will get that tired, lazy feeling
permanently and announce his
retirement. From next summer un-
til then he'll merely coast along
on his Iaurels, waiting around for
anybody who wants to make some
thing of this championship busi-
ness.
If Louis fingers on after AZ we
look for him to end his career q
rusty hunk Of machinery on the
pugilistic junk heap. Joe's the type
that has to fight often to retain an
edge and three years can make a
whale of a difference in a man. Ask
Jack Dempsey, he knows.
AS >for Louis final big time op-
ponent it looks as if Nova will be
the lad Lou should carve huge
slices in Galento's blubbery car
cass, open up all of fat Caesars old
battle scars and force the referee
to halt the slaughter. Some of the
boys give Galento a chance to win
by quick knockout, but none like
him beyond the fourth or fifth
round.
Tony can't shadow box eight
rounds and If he goes that far
