has castigated him for months, smK- ing and holding out his hand. Be- fore Louis had time to react one way or another, Tony grasped his hand and started shaking it all over again. And he continued to shake it until Louis was out of the ring.
 Shocking as was Galento's behavior to his friends, they admitted to a man that it was master stroke of diplomacy. Like the early American settlers pacifying the savages with trinkets and beads, like a defendant smiling on the jury that holds his fate in its hands, Tony was doing his best to get on the good side of Louis before the Hateful night of June 28.
 Tony spoke words to Louis during their time in the ring, and while it is not definitely known what he said, the look on his face would indicate that they were something like these:
 My, you look nice tonight, Joe. You really are classy dresser. Lis ten, I've been wanting to know you better. Why don't you come out to the place for a beer and meet the boys. Everything'll be on the house, too. And say, about that little bus mess date we have later in the month. Let's don't get mad about it. Let's go in there like friends and have nice time. Tell you what, l won't try to hit you if you won't try to hit me. No use of us getting hurt, is there pal, op pal'
 Patient
 Except for one brief moment when Tony grabbed his hand for the sec- ond time, Louis gave no facial evil dence of his reaction to Galentos $ friendliness. He gazed at him much as butcher looks upon side of beef, coldly, impersonally. While Tony worked his wiles Joe stood pa- tiently as a St. Bernard does when a lap dog plays about him. | There is the chance, of course that Louis felt many things, but was just too dazzled by the brilliance of his sartorial get-up to show them Certainly his haberdashery was suffi- cient to dazzle. He was done up from head to toe in green that, on first glance, made him look like nothing so much as the southern tip of Ire- land on spring morning.
 He had better not walk out ir the country in that rig. He'll be eaten by the first herd of COWS he passes.

Farrel Foundry Softballers Has Big Game Booked

On Saturday, June 3rd, Heppen- stall Forge softball team will pay return visit to Waterbury playing the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Company softball team, at Hamilton Park on diamond No. 2 at p. m.
 The Forgemen are probably one of the strongest industrial softball units in the East. Last year they went to the finals of the Connecti- cut State Amateur softball league play offs, and this year present practically the same lineup as last.
 Lou Mongillo, one of the out standing fast ball pitchers in the East today, has pitched two no hit, no run games this season; one against the Stewart Die team, which game was won 70; and one game with Bryant Plastic Company in which the score was 200. The Bryant Plastics are runners up in the American division of the Bridge port Industrial softball league. Lou also boasts a one hitter against the Warner Brothers team of Bridgeport.
 Last year the Forgemen defeated the Waterbury-Farrel team twice, winning the first on a no hit, no run game in Bridgeport at 50, and the second game by a score of 7-4. As the Waterbury-Farrels are considerably stronger than last year and at the present time are tied with U. s. Rubber for the lead in the National division of the Indus trial softball league of Waterbury, an excellent game is in prospect. ] FarreIS team will present the same line up as in the Industrial league with Halloway pitching, and Parisot catching.
 Heppenstall-Forge line up as fol- lows:
 Bill Horvath, shortstop; Charlie Cullen, End base; Irving Brander, short field; Charlie Cavanaugh, 3rd base; George Fibre, left field; Ernie Izzo, 1st base; Al Fucci, right field; Al aVllillo, centerfield; Joe Smith, catcher; Lou Mongillo, pitcher.
 Substitutes: Pat Matera, captain; Joe Csom, Joe Skubas, Joe Durst, James Holzinger, Joe Holzinger, {, Gene Craze, manager.
 Farrel Foundry line up as follows:
 George Shove, 2nd base; Capt. John Kudzna, 3rd base; Bob Ban- ginger, centerfield; Gene Orlando, 1st base; Patsy Galullo, left field; Ed Grchman, right field; Gene Pa risot, catcher; Eddie Molin, short field; Alec Comardo, Shortstop; Steve Hallway, pitcher.

New York, June 2-(UP)-A new American and worlds record for trying to make friends and influence people was established by Tony (two tcr) Galento in the ring at Yankee Stadium last night.
 At his very best Dale Carnegie never gave such a superb exhibition of free-style ingratiation as did Ga lerto when introduced from the ring with Joe Louis just before the Nova-Baer fight.
 Faced by the man he has called a bum in every language at his com- mand, and whom he must fight ir few weeks, Galento greeted him with warmth worthy of father welcoming a prodigal son or sweet heart meeting her lover home from the wars.
 Already in the ring when Louis name was announced, Tony set him. self up as a one-man cheering sec. tion as Joe walked up the aisle. He clapped his hands with the vigor of Q paid applauder curtain calling an operatic tenor, and his face, wreathed in smiles and aglow with good will, was just one huge and liv- ing welcome mat.
 Friendly
 Louis is scarcly in the ring before Tony, moving with an alacrity amazing in one his size and age, was beside him, offering his hand. When Louis was hesitant in offering him. Tony grabbed it and shook it as though it were pump and he a parched dust bowl farmer.
 He seemed reluctant to release Joe's right hand, and kept holding on to it until someone in the from row yelled:
 That's right, Tony, don't let il loose. Hold it right on until after June 28. You'll be safer"
 Louis finally freed himself of his new found and devoted friend, ano walked across the ring to wish good luck, first to Baer and then tt Nova. Then he started to go back to his seat in the ringside.
 But Tony apparently was taking no chances on Joe's getting away without realizing how deeply ht (Tony) felt towards him. Before Jot could leave the ring Tony waddlec swiftly across the canvas and tappe, Louis on the back.

Television Fair On Nova-Baer
 Boxing g Bout
BY LESLIE AVERY Limited Press Staff CorrespOnde

New York, June = (UP0 The day when MT. Average Citizen can sit at home and view million -dol- lar prize fight via television from a rlngside seat may be a decade or more away, but its coming was por- tended by the Telecast of the Lou Nova-Max Baer bout to thousands in the New York area last night.
 The National Broadcasting Com- pany, presenting the fight with co- operation of Promoter Mike Jacobs estimated an audience of more than 10000 within a radius of about 50 miles of New York = the accurate range of station WAKES atop the Empire State Building.
 The telecast, seen in the eight-by- 11-inch receiving mirror, left a lot to be desired in detail and color, but it didn't take an expert to see who was winning the fight.
 Not So Bad
 The facial features of the fighters were unrecognizable, but Baer's mop of black hair and the different shades of their trunks always made them distinguishable. The blood which the vocal accompanist des- cribed could not be seen. Figures of the men were three or four inches high.
 Every move and every blow was truly recorded. Baer's driving rights early in the fight kept the 50 spec tators in N. B. c. studio on the edges of their seats.
 There were a few times when a slight fog seemed to drift over the screen, but it vanished almost i'm mediately.
 The spotlighted ring was the only thing in the focus of the iconoscope camera, and ringsiders appeared as black slighouettes.
 | The camera was located at the edge of the press section - about eight feet from the ring apron-ano 300-foot cable carried the picture impulses to a mobile televisior transmitter. It was then relayed te the station studio by directiona radio beam from an antenna in stalled on top of the grandstand.
