MAX BAER AND
 LOU NOVA SEEM
 SET FOR BATTLE
Heavy Bout May Go in May; Winner to Get
 Louis in September

New York, Jan. 11-(UP)-It ap- peared virtually certain today that those two clouting Californians, madcap Maxie Baer and young Lou Nova, will battle at Yankee Stadium on May 25 for the right to Septem- CT shot at Joe Louis heavyweight crown.
 Baer and his manager, Aacil Hoff- man, resumed conferences with Promoter Mike Jacobs today regard ing the proposed match. They had a lengthy huddle last night.
 Jacobs originally wished to match Baer and Nova for an indoor bout in the Garden during February or March. But Hoffman and Nova's manager, Ray Carlen, demanded an outdoor show where the gate may approach $300,000. Hoffman told Jacobs, "Maxie and Lou could draw $150,000 if they fought in San Fran cisco. Why should they go into the Garden and fight for smaller gate? Carlen told Jacobs virtually the same thing over the telephone from San Francisco.
 GalentO Out
 Last week Uncle Mike" was con- sidering a possible indoor match in which Tony Galento, Jersey saloon keeper, would tangle with either Baer or Nova. But a chat with Chairman John J. Phelan of the New York boxing commission ap- parently convinced Jacobs that Ga lento would not be allowed to fight in this state for some time.
 Moreover, Hoffman and Baer pre- fer Nova as an opponent. They re- gard the Alameda Adonis" as the greater drawing card because of his impressive victories over Gunnar Barlund and Tommy Farr. They rate him second only to champion Louis as gate attraction.
 Meanwhile Maxie modestly said that he didn't care whether he tackled Nova or Galento, as far as their ring prowess was concerned because can murder 'em both He insists that he is in the finest condition of his career, although he will be 30 years old next month and hasn't had an important fight since hiS> victory over Farr last March.

O'BRIEN SPURNS
 PRO FOOTBALL

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.-(UP) - Davey O'Brien, hailed as the out standing football player of 1898, to- day stood firm on his decision not to play professional football in 1889.
 The ace Texas Christian Univer- sity passer, honored with the Max well Memorial club award last night, insisted that he would continue his studies in geology.
 Tt isn't that I have anything against the pro game" O'Brien said but I'm interested in geology. I'll be graduated in June with major in geology. I may take graduate work next year and I may not, but in any case it's geology I'm thinking of for the future, not professional football.

STOPS ART
 LASKY IN THIRD

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 11.-(UP) Nathan Mann, Hamden heavy weight, plodded further along the comeback trail today, flushed with a three-round technical knockout victory over burly Art Lasky, Los Angeles heavy. Mann weighed 195, Lasky 198.
 More than 4,500 customers saw the fight last night. Lasky was get- ting along fairly well until the fatal third. Then Mann, determined to get another crack at Joe Louis, planted an undignifled right on Lasky's chin.
 The Los Angeles fighter hit the canvas with all his l98 pounds, and stayed there for eight seconds. Then he got up. This was a mistake.
 Mann pasted him with everything he had, and Referee Billy Conway decided matters had gone far enough, and called the whole thing off. Lasky was helpless on the ropes at the time.
 In the semi-final, Eldridge Eat man, 184 1-2, Norwalk, won a six round decision victory over Irish Don Koons, 176, Los Angeles.

W.B.C. VARSITY TO MEET CHUCK'S CLUB
Game Here Saturday-St, Joseph and North End
 Girls in Prelim

Waterbury Boys club Varsity will tackle the strong Chuck's Service five of Naugatuck this Saturday evening at 830 o'clock in the main go of a twin bill. The preliminary game will bring together the St. Joseph Girls quintet and the val- iant North End Co-Eds.
 Dancing will follow the Varsity Naugatuck game. Considering that Chuck's Service team have the same lineup as last season except for Gene Montanari at the right guard position, and the 34-33 score of last season; when Russ Weaving put in a hoop in the last 10 seconds to win the game for his team, and that the Clubbers are stronger with the addition of Willie Lapointe and Fournier, is proof that they will score victory, also the result of the Stamford game last Saturday at the Boys club. Last season this same team won over the Clubbers, both games of a home series by good scores.
 The Boys cluD VarSlty winning streak was halted by the Wonders of Torrington when they won in an overtime 42-39. Mobiles team will show new uniforms for the first tilAe at Saturday nights game. Coach Bob Wood will start Russ Weaving at the pivot post; Babe Sweeney and Frankie Edmons at forwards; Chuck Janik and Gene Montanari as guards for the Naugy combine. The local outfit will be in charge of Steele" Mobile and will show Damilio, Lamberti, Lapointe, Griffin, Fisher, Fournier, Willie" White and Nappi. At this writing it seems that Ray Chipman will not show at the regular center position in this game. Chipman was hurt in the hard game with the Stamford Boys club last Saturday.

ARMSTRONG ,BOOED
 AFTER VICTORY

Los Angeles, Jan. 11.-tUP).- There were few cheers and sparse praise today for hustling Fenry Armstrong's decisive but uninspired triumph over Baby Arizmendi of Tampico, Mex. For the first time since he smashed upward from pre- liminary ranks three years ago, the mechanical little negro had the memory of being booed.
 With his welterweight champion ship up for the taking, Armstrong defeated the baby for the third time in five meetings before a turraway crowd of 10,400 in Olympic audi torium last night.

BY JIM JANNETTY

Another attractive triple basket ball bill will be presented to the rabid North End Court fans by the N. E. Y. Senior league at the Y. but tonight with the initial con- test scheduled for ' P. M. sharp when the "luckless" Cadet stack up against the Trojans boys in what should settle the cellar spot in the loop. The Cadets have won but one game while losing 5 where as the Trojans have one also but have been on the losing side four times. A win for either side would kinda" clinch the bottom place in the League Standing for the time being, anyway.
 At 8 D. m. the fast coming Y. Spartans, coached by Varsity" Lou Chestone, will clash with the vet eran Colpnial quintee. A victory for the Chestone lads would push the Colonials into 9th position, and place the younger squad into the 5th spot.
 Concluding the evenings play at g D. m., the 3rd and 4th place squads, the Tigers and the Trian- gles respectively, meet in what looks like the outstanding game of the night. The probable lineup: TRIANGLES TIGERS Al. Jacovino ............ Poletto Right Forward

SHUTTLE SERVICE
TO HONOLULU
alameda TimeS-Star)


Establishment of shuttle" service
between Hawaii and the Pacific coast is
anticipated by observers in touch with
developments in trans-Pacific aviation
Hawaiian business firms Ad govern
mental agencies, particularly those which
have regular correspondence with the
mainland United States, are advocating
establishment of an exclusive air service
for traffic between the islands and the
coast.
Pan American Airways officials have
said they are considering such a service
but have not yet made formal applica-
ton to the Civil Aeronauties Authority
Postal authorities have indicated they
would be in favor of such route
During recent months, since troubled
affairs in the Orient have resulted in an
appreciable curtailment of business in
China, the contract space agreed to trans
port from San Francisco to Hongkong
and return at rate of So mile, has
rarely been filled. Average shipment of
trans-Pacific mail per plane during re-
cent months has been about 500 pounds.
The route from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco has, however been sufficiently pat
roniZed to pay its way. Since the new
DoCiiSS NClt put llllO SCINlCe IltIG Has
been an average of one plane a week ar
irving at Honolulu from tn Orient EN-
route to the coast, and one plane week
from the coast to the Orient. AS the
service has become more dependable and
the planes have adhered more closely to
regular schedules, the eastbound patron
age from Honolulu in both mail and
passengers has increased appreciably.
Addition of the New Zealand route
may give Hawaii the equivalent of semi
weekly service, or, more probably, about
six planes month Such extended routes
however, make the dependability of the
service between Honolulu and the coast
contingent upon maintenance of sched-
ules between the various trans-Pacific
bases. Traffic records since Inauguration
of the P.A.A. Pacific route show that
weather conditions at Guam for example,
are seldom dependable and that numer-
Gus delays have consequently occurred
at that base; delays which, when the
planes are eastbound. are relayed along
the route from hop to hop including Hon.
olulu to San Francisco.

Willis Thorntons Editorial on:
Make Room For the Youngsters

SO many years ago when there were
enough jobs to go around. Many OF
them might welcome even the ha-
zard of death under gunfire just as
long as they were kept busy and
they knew they were useful.
Further schooling is not the ans
Wer to this national problem, but
about 65 per cent of those polled in
New York agreed that extension of
vocational guidance facilities would
help. Actually, even this plan, while
it may be a good idea, can do little
more than juggle job applicants
around bit Vocational direction
cannot open new jobs.
Whether we like it or not, the
whole thing boils down to a simple
mathematical formula with a re-
suit that is not too cheering. In
dustry is rapidly inreasing its pro-
duction. and in many fields output
is equaling that of 1929. Payroll in
dices throughout the nation have
generally gained over those of last
year. Exceptions noted are largely
III clothing and allied industries, and
they will come along as soon as the
squirt takes definite shape
Nevertheless, there are still some
where between 100000 and TO-
G00000 persons without jobs. 1t is
estimated the nations industries at
peak will use about 100000 less men
than they did in 1929 and to this
group must be added the 100000
who were unemployed in 1929 and
the 100000 workers who have come
upon the scene within the last 10
years.
Owen D. Young, acting chairman
of the youth commission, places re.
sponsibility squarely on the govern
ment and insists jobs of some kind
must be made. Just as important
as handing out jobs, however, is re-
building faith in the old axiom of
ability bringing on success.

Famous Sayings

WASHINGTON. If President
Roosevelt does what washington
rumor says he will do and appoints
Attorney General Murphy to the
Supreme Court, you can expect
Solicitor General Robert H. Jack
son to be groomed once more as a
presidential candidate.
For several years Jackson has
been the favored candidate of the
New Deal group-including, it is
said, Roosevelt himself-as FDR' S
successor in 1940 Chief trouble with
the idea has been that the cauntry
at large has heard but little of him.
The office of solicitor general is
a highly important one, but it dose
not bring its holder many head
lines.
If Mr. Murphy should be put on
the Supreme Court, Jackson would
be the logical man to replace him as
attorney general. In that spot he
could command plenty of headlines.
The anti-monopoly drive now in
progress would insure that, if moth
ing else did. The "build-up' was

ONE THEY CANNOT
EXPLAIN

Americas home grown communists
have taken one blow after another on the
chin lately and now comes Russia's
downright, ineXcusable. invasion of Fin
land The garden variety red in this
country is going to have tougher time
than ever explaining the noble aspira-
tions of his mental fatherland hereafter.
1t is safe to say, for that matter, that
the latest Russian aggression will do
some good in the United States, in behalf
of the American form of government.
Communists, never very popular, are go
ing to be so unpopular in the United;
States that, in a few months, you'll have
to beat the bushes to find one who is will

BREAKING OFF RELATIONS
WITH SOVIET RUSSIA

President Roosevelt, Secretary Hull, ct
al, are in tough spot. Of course, they
got themselves there, which diminishes
our sympathy for them by few degrees
Nevertheless, they are rot to be envied
just now.
They have gone quite a few steps far
ther than the man who will be damned
if he does, and damned if he doesn't In
this matter of withdrawing United States
recognition of Soviet Russia, they will
be condemned if they do and cursed if
they don't, as we'll as being damned be-
cause they did
More than half the people, in other
words, want bitterly to see the United
States withdraw its recognition of Rus
sia. The remainder will howl to high
heaven if recognition is withdrawn be-
cause, they will say, such action at this
time is direct meddling in Europes war
and they may be right But all of the
people, with the exception of scattered
few who would stick to Moscow through
thunder and lightning, are convinced
now that the Roosevelt regime made one
of its saddest International mistakes
when it insisted in the first place on well
coming Comrade Stain back into the rec
ognized diplomatic family.
The United States should never have
recognized Russia. / he recognition was
extended, if you remember at the begin
ming of the Roosevelt term, and over the
strenuous protests of conservatives who
had kept their feet on the ground in
spite of the first Roosevelt landslide.
We believe recognition should be with
drawn from Russia. But not because of
the invasion of Finland There are better
reasons closer to home, and reasons which
would not faint US with the brush of in
ternational intrigue, nor place us in the
position of taking sides with one warning
nation or another.
Russia has never ceased sending her
propaganda agents to this country. 1t is
no secret that Russia is actively engaged
in working for a change of government
in the United States-even a revolution.
Is that not reason enough to withdraw
recognition?
Russia has been guilty of unnecessary,
brutal aggression in Finland. She has
shown herself as entirely barbaric, with
out honor and without faith. But shall
the United States take a hand in Eu-
ropes affairs because of this? We must
decide one way or another whether we
want to police the world, and then stick
to our decision. If we do not want to,
then we had better keep our hands out
of the diplomatic wringer, for once
caught there we will be drawn slowly, but
ever so surely, into actual war.
Withdraw recognition from Russia, yes.
But use the good reasons we have at hand
to do so. We do not have TO go to Europe
to find a grudge against Russia. There's
a big enough grudge at home.

III COnIeCIClul, IluIliDcl LIZ iS' CAiN
is Lily Pons, famous coloratura So
prano of the Metropolitan Opera.
No one in the world can attract
so many people for a musical con-
cert as she and her husband. In
Milwaukee last summer $4,000 peo-
pie made the record.
Andre Kostelanetz fell in love
with Lily Pons. She was working
in a picture in Hollywood. He was
in New York, but his heart was IN
Hollywood. So he hoped a plane
and flew across the United States
to propose. She turned him down!
He was leading an orchestra in New
York, so he had to fly back.
But he flew out again. and again
proposed. Same fate.
Back to New York; again to Hol-
lywood. He flew to Hollywood to
propose-The thirteenth time she
said -capitulated-one of the
reasons why she has l3 on her
automobile license number.
When she was married she had
as matrons of honor three of the
most famous singers in the world:
Geraldine Farrar, Grace Moore,
Gladys SWarthout.
The fact that she is rich and
world-famous today is probably due
TO a resolve she made years ago.
That resolve? To do whatever she
undertook to the very best of her
ability. She starte out To be a pia-
mist and had so much talent. and
studied so hard, that she was able
to graduate from Paris ConServatoire
at the age of fifteen. She expected
to devote her life to the piano.
The World War was on and she
went to the hospitals to play for
the wounded men. They had so
little in the way of entertainment,
that she added a song to her pro-
gram. The men liked it, and called
for more. So the next time she went
TO the hospital she sang again. 1t
was received with applause. Then
she decided that if she was going
10 sing, she would do a good job OF
it, She found she could not get
very far without teacher, so She
engaged one and threw her soul
into the songs for these wounded
men. One day her teacher astonish-
ed her by saying that she ought TO
study for grand opera. What! Grand
opera. Her ambition was fired, and
she threw herself into her work
with the same determination she
had into her piano playing and
hospital singing.
On the night of January 3, 1881,
the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York was agog with excite
ment. The galleries clapped, whistl-
ed, shouted. Can you guess whose
debut it was? The little French girl
who decided TO do whatever she
undertook TO the best of her ability.
