UNCENSORED MEMOS FROM LTEBON-THE BABYLON.
 OF I94O

OE A0ZV
 By Eugene TilIinger, noted French Journalist Ia former cOIIaborat0r of the Petit Parisien and the French Ministry of InfirmatiOn), recently arrived here.
 < During the first World War Gen. eva and Basic were the spy center. This time it's Lisbon. The German Gestapo's crack agents are there. But so is the British Intelligence Many of the rival spies know each other from earlier meetings. They met before in Prague, Warsaw and Brussels Since the Gestapo made Portugal their favorite hunting ground, the diamond dealers from Belgium, who fled there after the collapse of their country, left Lisbon in hurry. The Nazis have these "diamantaires" shadowed by their agents. They hope to find reasons for their arrest in order to get pos session of their gems.
 Nushi Xadashni, the private sec- fetary of ex-King Fog of Albania, arrived in Lisbon with 118 trunks and 8 motor cars (made in U. s. Al all belonging to his boss Mar celle Halicz, formerly the impre- Sariette of Jan Kiepura and his wife Martha ("Higher and Higher') Egg gerth, married the French industry tycoon Jean Moatti. Marcelle is the only Jewess whose hand Adolf Hit Ter ever kissed. It happened in 1886 in Kiepura'S dressing room at Ber- lin's Scala Theater when Adolf went backstage to congratulate Kie- pura after a concert Joseph Kessel, famous journalist and screen writer, and last war correspondent for the Paris -Soir," was denied citizenship by the Vichy government. Tn spite of a Hollywood offer he re- turned to France, after Petain re- naturalized him upon his application with the Marshal. Kesseps reason: Love. He can't live without Ger maine Sablon, beautiful raven haired Parisian radio star.
 Clerical circles in Lisbon are wor- ried about the "bad influence" which the many refugee ladies from Paris, Brussels and Warsaw have on their Portu-gals. They notice the in- creasing amount of makeup the Portugese women use and, what's worse, they now copy their hat and shoe fashions and smoke in public A Portuguese married for four years and father of four chill dren-fel in love with Asta N., a 19-year old beauty from Holland. He deserted his wife and children and asked for a divorce. What happened? The Dutch girl was arrested on charges of immoral conduct. Now she waits at the prison of Caxias fortress for visa which will allow her to leave the country Only men are sitting in Lisbon,s numer- ous coffee houses. It would be im- possible for woman to go there. The Portugese woman can only pa tronlZe tea rooms.
 Most of the refugees in Portugal are Poles Sophie Nakonecma, Warsaw's stage and movie celebrity, is the prettiest refugee in Lisbon The beautiful blonde, pursued by the Nazi armies since Sept. 1889 (Warsaw Bucharest Rotterdam = Brussels Paris Bordeaux Hen- .daye-Lisbon) plans to start in Hollywood as an extra and waits for a U. s. visa .

Dempsey May Appear
Here in Ring Battle
AGAINST Mailman

Jack Dempsey, who is patting
tired old wrestlers to sleep to help
replenish the family larder, may ap-
pear here under Promoter Joe Tur-
ner's aegis if a suitable opponent
can be found. 1t was reported that
Roy Weatherly, nee Golden Terror,
suddenly remembered he had an old
grudge with Dempsey crying for
settlement. Weatherly was reported
camping on Turner's doorstep yell
ing, I'VE want Dempsey"
But sober reflection on the matter
has led Roy to believe he may have
been bit hasty, that it might be
better if he and Jack let bygones
be bygones. Well, that change of
opinion cost Prof. Turner a pretty
penny inasmuch as he had made a
long distance call to New York
(cash in advance) to negotiate for
DempSey's services and had been
assured he could get the one-time
champion to appear here.
Turner hasn't given up on the
idea, not with the four Duseks ap-
pearing here tomorrow on an all
star card. He'll peruse the field
carefully and select a victim who
seems strong enough to take a conk
on the head without suffering too
much damage. The list of candi-
dates include Lou Plummer, who
meets Ernie Dusek; Reb Russell,
Rudy's opponent; Paul Jones, Emils
rival, and Thor Johonson, who
meets an outsider named Ed New
man.

sports fans: (A) skeptics who scoff
at everything and jeer, ATS
fixed" and (B) idolaters who look
on with unfeigned admiration and
murmur, Gee whiz" Now, when
the publicity tom toms begin to
throb, the skeptics will poo-pooh
every dispatch from the rival camps
and type B will swallow the hook,
line and sinker. And both will be
correct.
You can't figure ring dope nor as
certain when the boys are telling
the truth or merely exercising their
vocal pipes. Take Tony Galentos
case for an Illustration.
We laughed when Tony was mus
cled into the heavyweight limelight
by the late Joe Jacobs. We sneered
derisively at his chances against Joe
Louis in a title bout. Suicide, phony,
dishonest and just plain putrid were
few of the more select adjectives
used in pre-fight stories. But what
happened? Nothing, only Galento
stood up under fire better than most
of Louis opponents and made one
of the gamest, most exciting fights
of the decade.
Then came Lou Nova with his
knife-like left jab to perform an
operation on Max Baer, cutting him
up like hamburger. He looked
great that night and they matched
him with Galento. On form Nova
appeared to be the better man. He
was taller, had the advantage of
reach, didn't mind mixing, was
faster than Tony and had that long
left with which to stab Galento at a
safe distance of two PAGES. He
figured to win.
Many Angles to Racket.
But Galento stopped him, carving
Lou as cruelty as Nova butchered
Baer. For this noble deed Tony was
matched with Baer. Now, calling
this one should have been simple for
any kindergarten youngster. 1t
added up to Galento by a couple of
country miles. Why? Well, Baer

Henry Rates Favored
Role, but Lew Has
Punch 10 Win
Texun Proves He Packs
Dynamite by Speedy
Knockout of Ambers
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Owlish Oscars who dispense inside
ring information gratis are passing
around hot tip that Henry Arm
strong will execute another blitZ-
krieg at Lew Jenkins expense when
they mingle at the Polo Grounds,
New York one week from today.
1t is a scheduled 12-round ses-
sion, the f1at-ear gents insist it won't
go half the distance and the win
ner will not be jenkins, the light
weight champion, but Armstrong,
king of the welters. They say Henry
carries too many guns for the gam
Cling Texan, that he's too busy for
Lew, who operates on a 40-hour
week They predict Henry will get
him out of there before the N. B. A,
can name a new titleholder.
Frankly, we're puzzled, Here Is
Jenkins, the gent who slapped Lou
Ambers silly in three heats pitted
against an industrious laborer who
has been on his feet longer than
flock of statesmen. Everybody in
favor of jenkins raises the right
hand and points to the potency Of
Lewis Sunday punch. Those vot-
ing for Armstrong remain seated
and yell he won't touch Henry after
they shake hands. If he does, they
add, he'll fracture his mitt.
No Way to Figure Jenkins.
It resolves itself into the ancient
problem of immovable object VS.. ir-
resistable force which is a draw in
most textbooks But there are a
lot of angles to the case which, un-
doubtedly, will be probed thoroughly
by Mike Jacobs minions and ex-
posed to the publics astonished
gaze. What you can believe and
what you can let out of the left
ear is problematical. Certainly both
men will be the greatest fighters of
all-time, pound for pound, when
propaganda machines finally cease
functioning.
But in this case the safest course
seems to be to string along with
Armstrong. We know what Henry
can do, what he has accomplished,
and no publicity crew can tear down
his record or magnify it beyond
recognition We don't know much
about Jenkins, his kayo over Ambers
Notwithstanding Old cronies call
him a ham-'n '-egger, a bum with
a paralyzing punch in his right
hand and nothing else. If he hits
you it's curtains and ditto for him
if he gets hit.
The point we're trying to make
Is this, nobody will know how Jen-
kins measures up to Armstrong until
the bout is over There will be in
Vulnerable predictions, of course,
wizened old guys picking it to go
the full distance, picking Armstrong
by a kayo in some particular round
or picking Jenkins and naming the
inning Somebody is going to hit
it right, but it'll be a lucky stab, pure
and simple-not scientific forecast
ing.
AS a side issue to all this we'd
like to point out the two classes of

Rock fishing appears on the up
swing. Reports from Sparrows
Point, Shadyside, oxford, Sol
onions and River Springs all note
an increase in striper catches over
the last week. Sparrows Point,
Shadyside and oxford chum with
live shrimp for their fish; Solomons
does both trolling and cumming
and in the River Springs area of
the lower Potomac they troll and
fish the live drift crab. So pick
your spot and your favorite method
and catch yourself a nice striper.
Trolling is by far the least ex-
pensive as the bait isn't used up.
It takes only one of the standard
trolling lures-the Florida feather
now is most popular-and that may
be used over and over again. The
drift crab fishing requires live soft
crabs and they come high. They
will cost you anywhere from 81 to
So dozen, depending on the sup
ply and quality. Chum will run you
50 to $3.50 a gallon and you figure
about a gallon for two anglers for
less than two hours.
No Nearby Surf Casting.
These last two mentioned meth
ods are more expensive as you will
note, but they also as a general rule
supply bigger fish. There is a
fourth method of rock fishing not
used around here and that is surf
casting. There's no rocky surf near
here where stripers hang out, but
up the Atlantic Coast and along the
southern shore of Long Island it is
the favorite method and the one
by which those so and 60 Founders
are taken.
And just because rock have been
and are being taken at the places
mentioned there is no guarantee
that you will connect every trip.
Sometime rock are around and
sometime they aren't. This depart
ment went rock fishing the other
evening on the other side of Bloody
Point Light. where some nice
catches have been made, and al
though our party tossed over some
S6 worth of shrimp all we were able
to raise were five rock. The hard
head loved the shrimp, though, and
we got plenty of jumbos whose
stomachs were just fulf of our ex-
pensive rock shrimp.
