ONCE UPON A TIME there

ONCE UPON A TIME there
was a large W.P.A. truck garden
project. Upon it were produced
beautiful vegetables which COM
pared very favorably with the
best on the markets. Unfor-
tunately, the supervisors on the
project thought so too and soon
mysterious shipments of the
vegetables began to go out to
dealers in the vicinity. The poor
starving W.P.A. workers were
highly incensed at this, and soon
there were many cases in which
the workers availed themselves
of the vegetables also. AS a re-
suit what was left appeared to
be a poor crop, and the govern
ment abandoned the project. A
W.P.A. truck garden project is
just getting underway in the city
at present. Let US hope that the
vegetables are properly distri-
buted to relief clients and to
Commodity Distribution Rooms.
The seeds for the project will be

These Fellows Were
Right On Predictions

Looking back through the files
| discovered some important COM
ments by boxing experts after Joe
Louis had bowled Primo Camera
over in six rounds in his first APP
pearance In the East. This was
June IS, 1885. Here are some OF
the comments OF fight writer's and
boxing authorities:
Ancil Hoffman. manager OF Max
Baer:-lf he can take a punch
he's the greatest fighter in the
world.

field. It's not the man he beats
but how he does IL.

manager:--He's a marvellous
fighter and II will be some time
before we see a man who can beat
him.

pion: Get me that fellow. Hel
truly great. but III make him
jump out OF the ring Editor q
note: Bacr quit in four rounds
three months later.

fight fan:-Hes great hitter.
but Id like 10 see him against
some one who'll move around him
and punch.
Max Waxman, manager Of Vince
Dundee Another Jack Johnson.
Jack Dempsey He's terrific
hitter. but he needs seasoning
He'll be a marvel one Of these
days.
Buddy Baer--I still can't see
him as great fighter.
Eddie McCloskey. chairman OF
the Pennsylvania Athletic Commits
sion: Hes not Dempsey and
I'm curious to see what he'll do
when he's tagged. That's always
interesting.

authority The best I've seen.

Although Bob Pastor decided
that discretion was the better part
OF valor. and made a Significant
back pedaling demonstration in his
fight with Joe Louis two years ago,
the New York battler Is seeking
another match with the heavy
weight champion.
While the fans were disposed TO
applaud Pastors efforts and give
him some consideration for re-
naming upright during the ten
rounds. It is doubtful II the fight
followers would be pleased with
such tactics in another contest. A
similar display OF fleetness OF foot
equal TO that OF Jesse Owens would
not be appreciated by the fight
mob.
However. those in authority In
the fight industry have decreed
Pastor is the most logical oppon-
ent for Louis in an Indoor match In
March. SO the negotiations are on
for the completion OF arrangements
for the bout In Madison Square
Garden.
Notwithstanding the decree OF
the authorities OF the industry
Louis is DESTROYS OF encountering
Pastor in a return match. He Is
overly anxious 10 wipe out the
sting OF the charges hurled at him
when he failed TO make Bob a VIC
tim OF his potent fists. Joe has de-
clared that he has an anesthetic
which he will administer to the
young New Yorker, providing Pas
tor can be induced to mingle with
him again.
Immediately following the Pas
tor bout, the experts said that the
results OF the battle indicated that
Joe was a slow thinker. that he
was unable 10 adjust himself TO
changing conditions in the ring,
and many other unkind things.
1t was with the Pastor fight in
mind that some OF the fight experts
were predicting that John Henry
Lewis had an excellent chance TO
Outlook the champion and gain the
heavyweight title. But Louis soon
blasted that opinion by making
Lewis describe gaudy patterns OF
distress on the canvas three times
in the first round. ending the chal-
longing thrust OF John Henry in
less than three minutes.
Should Louis show an attack as
ferocious as that evidenced against
Lewis and there is every indica-
ton that he WILT will be a night
OF distress for Jimmy Johnson

Donovan Thinks Joe
Would Whip Dempsey

Arthur Donovan. veteran referee
who has been the third man in the
ring In eight OF Louis fights in the
East. expressed some views about
Joe's ability the other evening In
New York. Donovan. who had Just
seen Joe pulverize John Henry
Lewis in one round. said that the
champion would have beaten
Dempsey in the Old Manassa Maui
er's best day-when he shopped
Jesse Willard down in Toledo.
that hot day in July in 1919.
Il still say know more about
what Joe Louis does than anybody
else because I've been right next
TO him while he was doing II, said
Donovan. Not only seeing 1t but
hearing his blows land. l say that
the Joe Louis who smashed
Schmelir and John Henry Lewis
could have beaten any fighter who
ever lived. including Dempsey.
What has he got that Dempsey
didn't have? Fundamentals. He has
everything. Dempsey had only
strength and speed and a punch,
but not harder punch than
Joes. Dempsey was not a natural
fighter. Why. that left jab OF Joes
alone would have been enough 10
beat him."
or course there will be some
dissenting votes against the al
legations Of Donovan. However, the
fact remains that Joe Is making
