ssBefore second Louis fight with Bob Pastor the
former New York University fulback called the most
scientific heavyweight in the game But the Brown Bomb
er Oub0xed him by wide margin The column, from lis

Ony by challenger There numerous light and
anaeeess blows, largely abs by the champion but these
not considered at all Pastors best round was the
eighth when he punches to but four for the
Brown Bomber That is the cantO in which the New York
er had Louis against the ropes.
Louis has demonstrated number of things, all OF
which had decided effect upon most recent ring and
matchmaking tendencies One that the baters he doesn't

Another thing Louis has demonstrated is that he can
he ht and that the boys with real punch have great
chance to duplicate Max Schmengs feat. This re-
veaIed Galento fight when the champion in real
trouble twice.
These discoveries have resulted in the grooming of
crop of rugged far-shockng white boys who have the
courage and determination stand up and fight it out
withpthe champion: y. ~, - -. ,.
Such boy is Johnny Paychek (nOt 'Paycheck Dut
pronounced the Same) who meets Joe Louis In the laerS

en Des Monies they're now calling Savold the "Blond
Bofber and gentlemen; that handsome young white boy
caf fhits power is equally distributed in both fists He
has knocked out opponents with hand as the
others He is neteoric drawing card in his second ap

be az beringer and if SavOId shOud do what partisan
IOwas and Gothames Thinks he'll dispose of Bob Pastor
and fall in line for bout with Louis that would be cnch
jOry boxing is of the opinion that Pastor is too
experienced and too clever for SavOd at this writing and
likely viii handle Lee-but of course, with trouble.
.SaVold will be "a years old March e. The lads
Norwegian and his wifes family is Norwegian too He is
married has two children year old Sanda and five
year old Richard lee.
Lees real is Savoldi, but it shortened to Sa
void He has outstanding popularity. Like Tommy
