Baer and Louis as Grade A, super colossal, four -bell-and-a-lemon pro- duction. The chances are that it wouldn't last more than a minute or two, and Hollywood, as I recall hasn't taken up the production ot short-Short shorts quite yeti. The mvi emogulS go more for f1fteer reelers, twelve reelers, eight reeler. and the like. They might balk al producing and releasing 1-2 incl reeler. Baer doesn't figure to last with Joe long enough for the proper credits (you know - trunks by Adrian, resin by Pinetree Inc, shoes by Brogans Beautiful, music by Luther Swish, etc.) and these are darn important to Hollywood.
 Why, the show wouldn't last long enough for the proper techniclor plug. And it would be in techni- color, too, with the combination of Joe's fists and Maxie's nose provid- ing the colr.
 Now about that simultaneous re- lease gag. Due to the variation in tlme III different parts of the coun- try, customers in New York would know the outcome four hours before customers in Los Angeles did. What would prevent New York gamblers from shipping ton of lettuce to California during the four-hour gap and cleaning up on a sure thing? ShuckS, a dishonest guy could man. age to get into a preview of the pie ture and make fortune.
 No, l think Jacobs is of on the wrong track unless he revises his plan a bit and lets Leo McCary or Greg La Cava or Norman McCleod direct the thing, and Gene Fowler do the script. Still, maybe I'm wrong and anything is possible in the fight game. Haven't Armstrong mad Jenkins been matched for a re- turn bout?

East Mountain S) Putters
BY PETE SLICER

It is rumored around East Noun tain that Billy Rose Che of World Fair fame etc.) is following Ernie Seigler around with contract ready to sign, pleading with Ernie to sign the piece of paper but up to press time Ernie was still a free lancer. Ii all happened when Billy heard of the high dive that Ernie took into the pond on the 5th hole Sunday while trying to rescue Spalding Dot from the water. The splash disturbed Jin Yama who was asleep on the clut house porch half a mile away. How ever, Ernie says with a little practice he should be able to go in head first eve wonder???)
 The hard luck golfer of East Mountain, without question, is Al Zubras. Al, who is topnotch golf CT, never seems to finish in the money. He almost always reaches the quarter finals Of tournaments and often times he is in there fighting in the finals, but to your correspondents knowledge he has come through in one tournament as winner since playing in compe- tition. Al, as we said, is 8 tough luck golfer. When he is hot" his opponent is just little hotter" when he is on top the breaks just seem to go against him, and when breaks start to go against you you might as we'll pack up and go home for it is our opinion that breaks are the decidin fgactor in any golf match. Al went 20 holes with Armond Durante in the club championship second round match only to go down to defeat with a birdie staring him in the face. The breaks can't always be bad, Al, so stay in there and we know you will be on the top of the heap.
 We Wonder Dept.
 How many balls have been lost at East Mountain?
 Why people don't replace turf?
 How John Bergin is hitting his irons?
 If Frank Bouley puts out fires as well as he hits golf balls?

MISSES PUTT TO GIVE HAGEN P. G. A. TITLE

New York, July A.-(UP)-With- out benefit of haslnish, mesmeris1n, or an uninterrupted fall from a high building, Mike Jacobs brain cells have come up with an idea which hasn't been matched for practicability since the fellow who thought he was Napoleon suggested transatlantic bridge.
 Right out of the nowhere, into the somewhere, Jacobs has fetched scheme whereby the next fight for the heavyweight championship of the world will be done in Holly wood and released through the channels which normally handle such things as Gone With the Wind, My Favorite Wife, Our Town, and Andy Hardy Cures His Astigmat- ism.
 Mike is leaving here Monday by stratoliner (so as to get his head in the clouds literally as well as figuratively, suppose) with Holly wood as his last stop. Once there, in the land of tirsel, Gaylord Hauser, nutbergers and millionaires who retire at ten or eleven years of age, he is going to make one of the big movie companies this proposition:
 Film a scheduled 15-round bout between Joe Louis and Max Baer for the heavyweight title. No one to see the fight except a referee and the necessary cameramen and assistants. Then, with the outcome of the fight depe, dark secret, re- lease the film simultaneously in mo- tion pictures throughout, the coun- try.
 Jacobs believes that in the near future the real money in prizefght promotion will come from movie and television rights. He hit on his latest idea when the ban on the transportation of fight films across state lines was lifted a few months ago.
 Now there isn't a wet blanket waver anywhere in my family line, but feel it my duty to point out to Promoter Jacobs a few of the flaws in his scheme. I might as well beat some unfriendly sanity commission to it. don't you think?

Veteran Captures
 FavOrite Tourney
 For the Third Time
BY HARRY GRAYsoN NEA Service Sprost Editor

New York, July A = No golfer, not even Craig Wood, Tipped the cup of fame more often than Joe Tur- mesa.
 The greatest of the many Turn esas has been the champion runner up, but not in the Long Island Open. He can still win that one, though he is crowding 40. He bagged it for the third time in six years {. over the Inwood Country Club course. A 288 gave him a bulge of eight strokes. He shot the last three rounds under par.
 Turnesa has finished second in every major tournament for which he is eligible in this country and Canada, but suffered his biggest heartbreak when the immortal Bobby Jones staged one of his typical finishes in the National Open at Columbus Scioto in 1926. With only nine holes to play, Turnesa led the field by six strokes.
 But on the long 18th, just as the pride of Elmsford was at the top of his swing on a brassie shot, a gallery marshal to anxious to give him a chance to play, shouted "Fore!"

THEORIZING NEVER CEASES IN GOLF

Joe Turnesa says golfer has at- tained the pinnacle of tournament wisdom only when he reaches a point where he can perceive that he knows nothing definite about any, thing. He asserts that the only cer- tainty in golf is the impossibility of reaching an age where theorizing will cease. He even tried putting enchanted for year.
 Turnesa's tip is to hit the ball without undue fuss.
 Nothing gives a golfer a worse case of jitters than to stand waggling until he becomes hypno- tized by the ball.
 Since the player can't deter mine the type of lie he's likely to get, Turnesa slows up long enough to take a close look at the posi- tion of the ball on fairways.
 On a tee, there's nothing he can do, after looking at the ball for 30 seconds, that he couldn't have odne at the very start, so why wait? If it's going to be poor shot, tension, created by delay, won't help.
 So Joe Turnesa belts it and for gets it.
