lnsistence on 20-Round Bout
Nov Be Johnston Ruse.

Pastor, who probably also has i'm
proved through two years of cam
paigning since he fought Louis, may
beat Joe. But if he does he will
have to employ tactics other than
those which he used the last time
Jimmy Johnston's insistence on a
20-round fight indicates that he
plans another footloose fight for
Pastor and wants as much time
as possible in which to wear Joe
down and tire him out, but don't
take that too seriously. 1t could
be that he wants to plant that
notion firmly in the minds of Louis
and his managers and then cross
him up by sending Pastor out head
long, winging with both hands, at
the opening bell
Meanwhile, if Louis stops to think
about these things, he must be
slightly bewildered by the things
that have been written since the
announcement of the Pastor match.
Just little while ago he was be-
Titled because Galento had him on
the floor and managed to go into
the fourth round with him before
being knocked out. Now some of
the critics are saying that If Pastor
holds still just long enough for Joe
to throw couple of punches at
him the fight will be over very
quickly.
Thus, although he fought a good
fight and knocked out Galento after
getting off the floor, he was torn
down by some of the critics-and
without having had glove on since
then, he has been built up by them
once more to stature he knew before.

The
SPoRTLIGHT
Ring Fans Crossed Up
In Dope on Pastor
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, July 27 (N.AN.AD-
A month or so from now the bally-
hoo will be going full blast, and
interest will have been spurred in
the Louis-Pastor fight to be held
In Detroit September 20.
Right now there is no interest in it
whatever, especially in New York.
This is because too many fight fans
have in mind not what actually
happened when the men fought
before but the popular version of
what happened. This version is that
it was strictly foot race between a
fearsome and determined Louis and
a thoroughly scared Pastor, who ran
and ran to escape being knocked out.
The truth is that Louis, for once,
wasn't fearsome and showed little
determination. Pastor wasn't scared
at all but merely was following in
stEuctions. which were to draw Louis
out, make him do the leading-up
to that time Joe had been strictly a
counter puncher-pull him out of
the straight line in which he likes
to travel and then, every once in a
while, dart in on him and hit him
two or three quick blows before re-
treating again.
Pastor was drilled in this for days
before the fight and had the plan
down pat by the time he crawled
into the ring. The wonder was that
he went through with it, because he
is proud and thoroughly game, and
every time he back-pedaled the
crowd hooted at him and called
on him to stand up and fight. An
other fighter, stung by the comments
of the crowd, might have forgotten
his instructions. but Pastor carried
them out completely.

Postor O Pawn as Johnston
Bottles With Jacobs.

Pastor must have understood that
he merely was pawn in the rivalry
which then existed between his
manager, Jimmy Johnston, and Mike
Jacobs. Jacobs ace card, of course
was Louisiana still is. Johnston
seeking to gain the upper hand in
New York boxing which he had held
and then lost to Jacobs, was striking
at Jacobs through Louis, the idea
being to make Louis look bad and
SO knock a few counts off Jacobs
growing prestige.
The plan didn't work perfectly
but it worked for a while. Louis
was made to look very bad in that
fight. Pastor retreated, and Louis
couldn't catch him. Pastor bobbed
in on Louis and smashed him in
the face and drove him back. Louis
was befuddled, not knowing which
way to turn. He had many oppor-
tunities to catch Pastor and knock
him out. He had him in the cor
ners and on the ropes, but he
didn't know what to do, and when
Pastor tented at him he backed off
or blinked and paved and so let him
get away.
The Schmeling fight had shown
that Louis didn't know how to pro-
tect himself against a straight
right-hand punch to the chin. The
Pastor fight showed that he didn t
know how TO carry the attack to- q
foe and that II his opponent didn't
fight exactly as he expected him
to he didn't know what to do about
1t. Joe was knocked out by Schmel-
ing and won the decision from
Pastor, but he looked worse against
Pastor than he did against Schmel-
ing.
That was what really happened
on the night of January 27, 1887.
Louis Proves He Knows More
Thon One Way to Fight.
Nothing like that should happen
on September 90 With the passing
of more than two years, Louis has
learned a lot that he didn't know
when Pastor feinted and retreated
and harried him with sudden rushes.
He has shown that he can change
his style and, when he wants to be
something else, no longer is he the
shutting counter-puncher he was in
1887. The speed with which he
attacked Schmeling in their second
fight and with which he dispatched
Jack Roper and John Henry Lewis
his quick and savage reaction to
the assault with Tony Galento-
these showed that he knows more
than one way to fight.
Since Pastor fighters have tried
to run from him, but he has caught
them and flattened them. The
legend is that he learned how from
Henry Armstrong. I don't know
whether he did or not, but he could
have, because there never was a
fighter who knew more about catch
ing fleeing opponents, beating the
steam out of them by hitting them
in the body, pinning them in a cor
ner and knocking them out with
blows to the head.

Investigate Rumor Japanese Fishing Alaskan Waters

JUNEAU, June 13 0P Fish cries warden Don Haley flew to Kalinetn Bay at the north end of Kruzof Island to investigate trollers' complaints that two Jap anese boats were fishing and mak ing soundings near Sitka.
 Rough seas and a high wind made a landing impossible so he went on to Sitka from whence he planned to return to the bay in a patrol boat.
 He reported that many small craft could be seen in the bay but none could be identified from the air as Japanese.
 The investigation started af- ter American fishermen reported the Japanese craft to Harry Bahrt, Deputy U. s. Marshal.

SPORTS PARADE
BY HENRY MCLEMORE-

NEW YORK. Nov. IA. up
"Chappie will fight five or six more
times and then retire undefeated."
Jack Blackburn, the animated ra-
zor scar who trains Joe Louis, chose
a particularly thoughtful time to
thus announce the future plans of
the heavyweight boxing champion.
At least, so it seems to me. With
the world in the chaotic condition
it is right now, it should be COM
forting to know that there is at
least one man wholly undisturbed
by the present and completely with
out alarm for the future
the Louis fights of the next few
queens burn midnight oil to save
their countries. Dictators froth
Statesmen steel themselves and
their peoples for a war of nerves.
But Louis, with closetful of
bright suits and brighter shoes, with
money in the bank, and power in his
fists, can't bother to pay any mind
All the rest of the world may be
unsure of itself, uncertain of what
is going to happen, but not Joe.
The former field hand whose fists
developed into steel from picking
the soft cotton bolls, has pierced
the mists that lie ahead and found
the outlook pleasing.
Arturo Godoy. Patrick Comiskey.
Bob Pastor, Tony Galento. Max
Schmeling. Tommy Farr, Billy Conn.
From these men must come all his
fights in the future, SO it is no won-
der that Blackburn flatly states
that Joe will fight them and then
retire undefeated. No other heavy
weight champion has ever outlined
his future SO far in advance, be-
cause none has ever been SO sure
of what he could accomplish as
Louis.
The only t1dng doubtful about
the Louis fights of the next few
months is low much each one will
enrich the Bomber.

Al
Imperial, playing its best game
of the season, fought the Vikings
on even terms in three quarters,
but bowed when the Holtville eleven
uncorked AZ yard touchdown
march midway in the third quarter.
Improved Team
ImperiaTs showing against Holt
Vile gained it the distinction OF
being the most improved club in
the valley, and players, fans and
even the casual observers again
started to discuss the chances OF
Imperial's entry into the league.
Holtville, heavily favored in pre-
game discussion, found itself up
against an inspired Imperial high
football team Monday night, and
on two occasions the Vikings were
backed to within the five yard line.
But in the end it was Holtville's
superior power that brought a
hairline victory. Allan Harris and
Kozo Sanbonmatsu, all-valley back
field candidates, spanked Holtville's
drive to a touchdown and victory.
Harris carried the ball 40 yards
to the Imperial two on three plays
and Sanbonmatsu hit tackle for
the score. Zumstein kicked the ex-
ira point and nearly booted the
pigskin out of the park in con-
verting.
Imperial threatened to score in
the first period after recovering

Imperial residents have anything
to say about the problem :. Until

little dubious about entrance into

been beaten by more than 20 points
