Labor Warned
Of Wage Club

Atlanta, Ca, June z9.-(AP)-
Labor leaders, pressing for 80 IL
cent an hour minimum wage in the
textile industry, were described to-
day as being in danger of cutting
their own throats by forcing adop-
ton Of labor-saving machinery and
elimination of workers.
Testifying before Wage-Hour Ad-
ministrator Elmer Andrews in pub
lie hearing on the proposal, Frede-
rick Moore, of Charlotte, N. c., said
basically wages could be increased
only as the output of workers was
increased. That meant, he added,
that just as many workers would
lose their jobs and incomes as pay
increases were granted those remain

I he SPORTLIGHT
GRANTLAND
Coesp OF
Jacobs Was Right; Fans Want Louis -Go|ento Go
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Sta

even the more positive experts, ap-
praising this fight as logically as
they can, are bound to remember
things out Of the past-things that
come stalking back to bewilder them
and make them little uncertain.
Anything Might Happen.
They remember that you could
write your own ticket on Max
Schmeling to his first fight with
Louis-but he knocked Louis out.
They remember, too, that Jim Brad
dock was 10-to-1 shot against Max
Baer; that Tunney was the short
ender against Dempsey at Phila-
delphia, and that the crowd liked
Willard against Dempsey at Toledo.
And, If they want to go away
back, they can find that Jeffries
was favored over johnson at Reno;
Fitzsimmons over Jeffries at Coney
Island; Corbett over Fitz at Carson
City, and Sullivan over Corbett at
New Orleans.
But in those fights the men were
better matched than Louis and
Galento. eh? That's right. But
when two men are in ring punch
ing away, almost anything can hap
pen. Luis Firpo didn't know how
to fight, but was just big sttong
fellow with a terrific right-hand
punch and Dempsey knocked him
out in the second round-but in the
first round Dempsey ran into a
right hand at the bell, went almost
to his knees, was groggy, and was
knocked out of the ring.
At Chicago Tunney had his second
fight we'll in hand when Dempsey
nailed him and put him down for
the celebrated long count. At Chi
cago 10 years later Braddock
dropped Louis in the first round
and then lost him in his eagerness
to knock him out in a hurry, thus
giving Joe chance to steady him.
self and 60 on to win.
Dempsey, Tunney, Louis figured to
win these fights--and did. But there
were long moments in these fights
when they tottered on the brink
when one more punch would have
sent them whirling to defeat.'
People Willing to Pay.
Things like that give an expert
pause. They give fighter pause,
too. That's why, after fighter has
been around for a while and knows
what can happen once he climbs
through the ropes, no matter how
big the edge in his favor or how
carefully he has trained, he realizes
that there is no such thing as a
cinch.
Odds Of anything more than three
or four to one on any fight make
the fighters laugh. On form they
will string with the favorite. But
they won't bet on him-not at odds
of 8 or 10 to /.
Remembering some of these
things, some of the experts may
weaken on their current view of the
fight. But, not being an expert, I
| think I'll stick. It looks from here
a bad match, but, as I said before,
the people want 1t and they un-
doubtedly will pay we'll for it
maybe 4 million dollars or 30.

CHICAGO, April "A week Of

wants another crack at Henry Arm

summer.
Armstrong successfully defended
his title against Day last Friday
with a technical knockout in the

yesterday he had offered Armstrong
$4,000 and an option of 40 per cent

Day, who returned from New York
with Plan yesterday, said he would
take it easy here and in Hot Springs
for the next 10 days before beginning
preparations for his bout next
month with Pedro Montanez, Puerto

Plan expressed the belief Day
would have carried away the welter
title last Friday if he had had one
good fight under his belt this year
before meeting Armstrong. His last
previous ring appearance had been
in December.

Krieger Takes First
Test Tomorrow in
Facing Matthews
Bouts Listed at Various
Points; Garcia Likely
To Enter Picture
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Unless we
are careful the burning question
you can smell it from hereof just
who is the best middleweight in
the world is liable to be cleaned up
come May.
A lot of fighters, champions and
otherwise. have been called the best
middleweight. Few fights have re-
suited, tribute to the fighters re-
straint. Calling man the best
middleWeight is like calling him the
best wife beater.
The general impression is that
Freddy Apostoli is the best middle
weight. We heard Al WE'LL say so,
so it must be true. AL blew a lung
full of cigar smoke into Fred's face
and hollered, Boy, you are the best
middleweight in the world"
Apostoli excused himself and went
in the corner to count 60. He gets
mad easy.
Conn Among Contestants.
Mad or not he soon will have a
chance to know just where he
stands. A tournament of Nation
wide scope IS now under way. All
the good middleweights are in it;
also Billy Conn, the overstuffed
Pittsburgh nero, who wants to be a
big boy and fight Joe Louis.
1t starts tomorrow in Seattle, for
some sinister reason a hotbed Of
middleweights. There Solly Krie-
ger. recognized as champion by the
N. B. A., fights Allen Matthews of
st. Louis. The only information
about Matthews form is that he is
just back from Australia.
This is a non-title fight. All mid
dleweight champions have to fight
SO non title fights.
Following this grim display the
scene will shift to the. New York
Hippodrome. where Popeye Woods,
a native mankiller, will meet Paulie
Mahoney, a Buffalo boy, who re-
minds the fans of Jimmy Slattery.
Both have Irish names.
But there is more in store. They
claim Ceferino Garci is a better
middleweight than welterweight-
not too hard a trick-so the bolo
puncher is being sought by Apostoli.
If Garcia wins this one it will be
a fox pass" of the first water as we
say at the Garden. For Henry
Armstrong beat him and Armstrong
is only heavy lightweight.
Apostoli May Meet Nichols.
AS a tuneup to this match Apos-
toll is thinking of meeting Sid
Nichols, a Texan of awesome repu-
tation at Houston If the division
is up to standard goodness, Nichols
will belt Fred out

of considerable ability, will project
himself into the picture if he licks

NEW YORK, April 4.-Mike ia
cobs was right. The Joe Louis
Tony Galento fight may not be
much of a flght-but the people
want it. They must because I have
heard people talking about it ever
since the match was made.
1t is a curious thing that this
should be SO. because in the public
mind Galento is no shining hero.
Many of those who are so interested
in seeing him fight Louis don't
know anything about him except
that he is a little fat man with a
terrific punch. They ask:
do you think he has a chance
against LOUISE"
NO." you say. "At least, not
much more than the ghost of a
chance
This doesn't take the edge off the
fight for them, however They still
want to see what Tony can do with
Louis-or, possibly, what Louis can
do with him. They don't know
anything about Galento but they
have it firmly fixed in their minds
that If he lands one punch on Louis
he will have the champion on the
f1oor-and they wonder what would
happen after that.
The fact that Galento has hit
any number of very ordinary fight
ers more than once without having
them on the floor either is un-
known to his new admirers or un-
remembered. Or maybe they just
don't care. Their imaginations
have been caught by this pudgy
man who doesn't look a fighter and,
in all truth, can't fight very well,
but has a stout heart and an ap-
parent contempt for the champion,
whom he calls bum.
Experts Apt to Change Minds.
Expert opinion, of course, is that
the match is no match at all. The
experts, looking at it coldly, can see
no excuse for 1t. Galento's style is
such that 1t is hard to see how he
can hit Louis or how Louis can fail
to hit him-early, hard and often.
No matter how hard Galento
trains for this fight under the
watchful and baleful eyes of Com
missioner Bill Brown, he can't get
into shape to Withstand a battering
such as Louis will give him right
from the opening bell. If Louis
stands off and boxes with him he
will cut him to pieces-and Tony
cuts very easily because there are
ridges of scar tissue under and
over his eyes.
And if Louis elects to fight him
as he fought Max Schmeling and
John Henry Lewis, he will knock
him out in round. That's the way
the experts feel about it.
1t is impossible to quarrel with the
experts on any of these conclusions
But the fight is three months of
and it will be interesting to see If,
as it approaches, there isn't at least
some slight swing toward Galento
For one thing, the close follow
ers of the game will be under pres
sure of the ballyhoo which can have
an effect even on the expert mind II
applied long enough. For another

By Hord-Hittino Louis

Your correspondent agrees with
Mr.. Baer, that tongue-tied waif,
that the critics were somewhat I'M
just to him over the matter of the
Louis fight in 1885. He quit. all
right, in the coldly technical sense
that he might have climbed off his
launches again and taken some
more punishment. His heart still
was beating and his pulse still
f1uttered But there was a coroner
sitting up the aisle from me, and I
saw him lick his lips.
When you boil it down, the eX-
perts were sore because Mr. Baer
did not get himself killed, and
they haven't forgiven him yet for
that silly oversight. There is much
to be said for their point of view.
In reply, I can quote only Mr..
Baer's plaintive wall, when he says.
ut wasn't them that was getting
killed, friend. 1t was me-"
Baer took a brutal lacing. Louis
says himself that he never hit a
man so hard so often, and, while
Joe is apt to confuse one fight with
another in the long run. think he
remembers Baer all right.
have seen Henry Armstrong
knock out half dozen men. Every
one of them behaved with less
courage than Baer, when you COM
pare the types of punishment served
by Armstrong and by Louis. Usually
the Armstrong victim is rescued by
the referee the moment his knees
begin to buckle for the first time.
and the fight is stopped, and this
is hailed as humanitarian gesture,
which it is, indeed. But there was
no surge of humanitarians to the
rescue of Mr.. Baer. In fact, Mr.
Arthur Donovan, the referee. was
urging Mr.. Baer to get up and take
some more before he kicked him up.
Make is right to this extent. But
when he says he was clipped before
he had time to fight back, he is
wrong. He went for Joe near the
end Of the first round and started a
furry of short punches that lasted
for almost 80 seconds. And very
futile 1t was, too.
AS started out to say, you can't
keep a good man down. Mr. Baer,
after taking a count of three years,
six months, II days and 10 seconds,
is back on his feet again, yelling
for more.
