Leonard Given
FBum'S Rush From
Champs Camp
BallyhOoey Goes on at
Feverish Pace - Louis
Sluggish as Work Ends
BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 27.-(UP)-Joe
Louis and challenger Johnny Pay
chek complete their training today
for Friday nights title fight in an
atmosphere of mutual distrust.
At Pompton Lakes, N. j., the Pay
chek camp is hilariously suspicious
that Louis isn't ready for the fight
because Bomber Joe's trainer, Jack
Blackburn, ousted Benny Leonard
from the Greenwood Lake establish
ment yesterday. Blackburn wouldn't
let Leonard watch Louis box. Leon
ard is challenger Paychek's special
boxing instructor.
At Greenwood Lake, N. Y, Black
burn said, Sure I gave Benny Leon
ard the heave-ho. Why should he
watch Louis train, when he won't
even let the reporters sit in on Pay
chek's secret workouts? Why don't
they let us come down and see what
they're doing behind those closed
doors?"
And the somewhat miffed Leon
ard said, wen be glad to welcome

his camp at today's final boxing drill

Movies Help
While Leonard was being given the
"bum's rush" at Jolting Joe's camp
challenger Paychek watched movies
Of four Louis fights. ana when the
lights were turned on in DR.. Bier's
old Revolutionary war house, Pay
chek said:
IT hope those pictures weren't
kidding me. I hope they weren't
Disney creations. I'm positive I'll put
Louis on the floor at least once, and
probably knock him out. Anyway,
should win the decision with ease.'
Paychek went through his last Sc
cret workout yesterday, sparring
with two mysterious heavyweights
whose identities have not yet been
revealed. He was slated for -four
rounds today with his regular spar
mates.
Meanwhile Louis also was slated
to complete his training today with
four rounds. Yesterday he went
through four sessions with three
mates. In his two rounds with Clar-
ence Brown, he seemed a bit slug
gish and open to left jabs.

BLAKE-JOHNSON
BASEBALL PLANS

The Blake and johnson Manufac-
turing company Of Waterville will
field baseball team this season 1t
was learned today. Thus, the Shop
pers come back into the Nmelight
after folding up last season when
talent was scarce.
However, when the plant took on
several new employees during the
winter months, @ check showed that
some pretty good baseball talent had
been hired, so 1t was decided to have
another ball club.
The team will be well equipped
al new uniforms were purchased by
the recreation committee two years
ago and all that is needed in that
respect is little busting.
Taking quick run through the
list Of prospects one finds such well
known players as Jackie Hyland
and Bob Palmer who performed with
the Overlooks In the City League
last season, and Mike fiesta, Tribune
star listed as outfielders. The three
are all good hitters and exception
ally good on the defense.
Not much is known about the In
field but 1t Is expected that Shiek
Garafano, italian league performer
and Bub White, the ex-Maro0n star
will be available for service.
Ralph Bradley, the Speedboy bas-
ketball star and Blessed Sacrament
twirler will take care Of the pitch
ing burden and there Is always q
chance of some unexpected candi-
dates to pleasantly surprise. More
about the team later--after the FIRST
practice has been called.

American Brass passed the 800
mark on all three games against
French Manufacturing hitting a
corking 653 in their second effort,
which, however, was far from high
team single, as the Blake and john
son outfit had a sizzling 672 In its
third and final game, an average
of nearly 1875 per man. Jimmy Fis-
chetti of American Brass had 161

Seeks Understanding

Washington, March 27-CUP)--A
conference between the New York
State Athletic Commission, promoter
Mike Jacobs, and the National Box
ing Association appeared definitely
In the offing today after all parties
had expressed their willingness to
cooperate in an attempt to iron out
several disagreements.
1.-THE MIA has always sought and
now seeks better relationship and o
better understanding with New
FORKS boxing forces" MIA pres
ident Harvey L. Miller said. "But
present difficulties and misunder-
standings are due to New York's
actions and attitude in arbitrarily
dismissing and overriding the
NBAs wishes without consultation
and cooperation Of any sort"
In New York, promoter Jacobs
said: I'm promoter, and have to
sign the best fighters or the fans
don't patronize the bouts. I'm more
than willing to cooperate with the
MIA.
But the MIA acts on things over
night. 4ney named OaVey Lay OF
Chicago as the No. lightweight
challenger, and he hasn't fought as
a lightweight for couple of years.
Anyway they name Lew Jankins No.

INTEREST SHOWN IN STATES PLAN.
Program of Coordination Adopted Here Receiving
 National Attention

Hartford, July g - Probability that another of the state programs initiated by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin will take on national signi- ficance is to be found in the inter- est being shown by the National In- dustrial Council in the work of the Connecticut Aeronautical Develop ment Commission to coordinate Connecticut manufacturing facili- ties with the rapidly growing re- quirements of the aviation industry for products of textile, chemical, rubber, plastic, woodworking and metal-working plants. The National Industrial Council, sponsored by the National Association of Manufac- turers, has a membership of ap- proximately 240 industrial and trade associations, Harvey L. Williams, consulting engineer, who as direc- tor of the Connecticut Aeronautical Development Commission organized and carried out the Commissions industrial development program, has been invited to address a meeting of the National Industrial Council to be held in Detroit next Friday on the necessity for coordination between manufacturers and the aviation industry to accomplish the increase in production of engines, airplanes, instruments, aviation ac- cessories and equipment called for by the national defense program.
 It is understood that the Nation al Industrial Council has been study ing the methods and procedures used in Connecticut by the Connec- ticut Aeronautical Development Commission to interest more manu- lecturers in making aviation pro- ducts and to collect information on industrial facilities which might be helpful to the aviation industry as sources of supply. The experience of Connecticut will be the basis of plan which may be recommended to the manufacturers associations of other states for their immediate consideration. Such a plan contem- plates the assembly of information on what the industries in each state are making products for the avia- ton manufacturers at present and which concerns not so engaged are equipped to do such work.

 The Southern New England Tele- phone company reported that the storm caused no unusual damage" locally, although there was the usual amout of temporary trouble.
 Several limbs were reported to have been ripped from trees dur ing the height of Father Wotan's antics. Tobacco crops were also re- ported to have suffered in the state.
 Scattered thunder showers are seen by the weatherman, also for tonight and tomorrow.
