JOE LOUIS
position-top man in a field Of Sec
ond rate pugs.
That is no reflection on Louis.
He's willing, even anxious, to meet
all contenders worthy of crack
at the crown. The fact that most
of his fights have been too easy is
his own misfortune. They're too
forced-high powered publicity has
put them over. None of them have
been "naturals." The outcome was
pretty well established long before
the sound of the opening gong.
Crist for the Mill
Louis won the championship in
1887 from Jimmy BraddOck, even
then has been. Courageous and
smart, but still a has been. His
next fight was with Tommy Farr,
who crossed up the dopesters by
staying the Is round route. Nathan
Mann and Harry Thomas followed
in quick succession. Shirley Tenn
pie might better have been matched
with King Kong. Max Schmeling,
seeking to repeat his stunning up
set of 1886, wherein he knocked
Louis out in the twelfth round, was
next on the list. The champ put
the finishing touches on him in the
first round of their return bout.
John Henry Lewis failed to last
one round. Partially blind, he was
not fit match for Joe. Then came
Jack Roper, an aged gentleman who
practically tottered into the ring,
only to be knocked out in the first.
Tony Galento, Louis next opponent,
managed to last four rounds.
Pastor, by dint of courage and
determination, stayed with the king
for II rounds. The outcome was
never in doubt, however, from the
beginning of the fight.
All of which adds up to the fact
that GaIento is the only possible op-
ponent for the next championship
bout. The buildup will have to
be immense. Able to last only four
rounds in the first fight, Galento
managed to reach Louis only once.
On the strength of his showing, Tony
is clamoring for return bout.
Nova Myth Exploded
True, it might as well be Galento
as any other contender. He sur
prised experts and fight fans alike
by knocking out Lou Nova, who was
Hooked upon as the most promising
Of the hopefuls-another Tunney.
The rotund beer dispenser exploded
that myth and, at least in his own
mind, earned another chance at
the title.
That's the sad part of the situa-
lion today. One contender is not
much different than any other.
They're all fodder for the Louis mill,
and none of them show promise of
being able to give the champ good
fight, much less win the crown.
There have been rumors of Louis
retirement for some time. Most of
them have little basis. 1t is entirely
possible, however, that he will quit
the ring sooner than might be an
ticipated ordinarily. He will have
amassed a comfortable fortune, but
more than that, will be out of OPP
ponents.
Should he fail to retire within two
or three years the champ will have
softened considerably. Never ener-
getic, training is drudgery to him.
He has kept in condition because
he knows it's mandatory for him to
do so. And when he does soften, it. s
inevitable that some young lad will
come up from the ranks and belt
him loose from his crown.

JUDGE CONWAY
FOR COP. MAYOR
CONTINUED from Page -

Though Judge Conway Is now ac-
cepted by the Pape- Epson group as
the leading candidate for the Re-
publican nomination, this faction
would nevertheless prefer to have the
ticket headed by an "old line" Re-
publican who would have an appeal
for the voters. Acceptance Of Judge
Conway Is reluctant, to say the least,
A significant straw In the wind Is the
fact that the Pape newspapers have
recently called attention to the fact
that Judge Conway was defeated In
bid for the mayoralty In 1929, with
the obvious inference to be that he
should not be given another chance
at the mayoralty. It was not pointed
out that Judge Conway almost de-
feated Mayor Frank Hayes, and that
he gave the Democrats an extreme
ly close run.
Block Perrlello Is Plan
The principal intra- party strategy
Of the Republican leadership at the
moment Is "Block Pcrriello". The
aim Is to stop, at any cost, the nomi-
nation being given to Adermanic
President Patrick Periello. This
strategy, according to those we'll
informed, Is to be carried out even II
1t means that Mr.. Perriello leaves
the organization fold and takes with
him many Italian-Republican votes.
The others now In line for nomi-
nation also face bitter opposition.
Mr.. Foster Is q newcomer In num-
cipal politics, and undoubtedly he
would be placed on the ticket In an
attempt TO corral votes that might
have gone to the late Controller
Sherwood l.. Rowland, under whom
Mr.. Foster served for a year and a
half as city purchasing agent.
Offered in Exchange
Nomination of Mr.. Petrillo for tax
collector Is being opposed on the
ground that he Is merely being Of
fered as q sop to italian Republic
cans, to gloss over the dismissal OF
fir. Perricllo as mayoralty canG!-
date.
The nomination for city clerk
promises to be a vexing problem for
the @. o. p. Mr.. Epson and Mr.. Hall
are close associates, but party men,
bers claim that more attractive can
didates are being ignored.
Nomination Of Mr.. Hall, who Is
secretary Of the Republican town
committee, would leave among the
dissatisfied many friends Of other
prospective nominees for city clerk,
among them Mortimer Calvin, the
candidate two years ago. John J..
Bergin, active party worker; and
John McGurk, secretary Of the
Building Trades council, who last
year ran for state representative.

In one raid on Warsaw, so Ger

an hour. Many Of the bombs failed

ones fell in the suburbs. The tac-

city. If so. they failed Of their pur-

emerged from their shelters and
went casually on their ways.

Anti-aircraft fire was heavy dur

I, One column struck from East

corridor toward Graudzens and
thorn and q second moved down
slight to the east toward Lauten-
berg.
2, East Prusslan troops moved up
from behind the Vistula river TO
keep the Poles from concentrating
their defense on Thorn while troops
moved southeastward toward Thorn
to cut off the Polish flank and
vanguard towards Posen to the
south.
8. One column drove on Czesto-
chowa near the Silesian frontier, on
the main railroad line running
southwest out Of warsaw. 1t was
suggested In neutral military quar-
ters that a thanking move from the
south would support this column.
4. A column moved out OF Mae
risch- Ostrau on the former Czecho-
slovak frontier toward Katotwice.
One moved out Of Slovakia converg-
ing on the Polish industrial region
OF upper Silesia. Another pushed
north out OF Slovakia toward Sucha,

frontier In the direction Of Cracow,

Poland.
Heeds Roosevelt Plea
Berlin, Sept. a (UP0-Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler has agreed uncondi-
tionally to President Roosevelt's
proposal that the nations refrain
from bombing undefended cities or
anything but military detectives, 1t
was announced today.
Hitler's message said:
1.-THE opinion expressed in Pres
ident Roosevelt's message that 1t Is
the law of humanity to refrain
under all conditions Of military &C.
tivity from bombing non-military
detectives Is fully in accordance
with my own viewpoint and In ac-
cordance with what I have always
Represented.
Therefore I agree unconditional
ly to the proposal that governments
participating In current hostilities
give O public declaration TO this eff
feet.
For my part, I already an
nounced publicly In my Reichstag
speech on Friday that the German
air force has received orders to re-
