CLEVER PAYCHEK
FIGURED NOT TO
LAST The LIMIT
Louis 2 to l FavOrite to
Score Knockout in Five
Rounds
By HARRY FERGUSON
limited Press Shorts Edifnrl


New York, March 29-(UP)-
Johnny Paychek, equipped with two
brains and a past that includes
some scholarly browsing in psychol-
ogy books, goes into the ring at
Madison Square Garden tonight to
try to think Joe Louis out OF the
heavyweight championship Of the
world.
One brain will be under the thin
ming hair Of Nr. Paychek himself.
The other belongs to Benny Leon
ard, the former lightweight cham
pion, who plans to be in Paychek's
corner and put the glazing ring
lights to shame with the sheer bril-
lance of his thinking.
Louis, ever the conservative bust
ness man, comes up to this tenth
defense of his title with plans that
include the minimum amount of
thinking and the maximum number
of left jabs to the kisser and sledge
hammer rights to the nerve centers
of Prof. Paychek's celebrated cere-
hellum.
The boys who make the odds on
fights have distrusted thinking ever
since Gene Tunney recited the Sec
ond act of King Lear from memory,
SO they have made Louis,
A 10 to favorite to win.
A 2 to ! favorite to knock out
Paychek inside Of five rounds.
A to l favorite to knock out
Paychek inside of 10 rounds.
Hooks Hurt
Their argument is that fighter
like Paychek may be on the way to
victory with a brilliant sequence of
inductive reasoning and then =
blooie! He catches one of Louis
hooks in the belly and class is adj
journed Immediately. For the sus-
picion is loose around these parts
that the Brown Bomber is going to
have one of his good evenings to
make up for what happened the
night he fought Arturo Godoy. Joe
has habit of bouncing back as wit
ness what he did to Max Schmeling
when they met the second time and
Louis was out to avenge his defeat
by the German.
Not even the most lofty flight Of
brain work by such a scholar as
Benny Leonard will prove much
help to Paychek if Louis is on the
prowl and little bit angry.
On what he showed in training
Paychek seems to have a fair right
hand that he can throw fast and
hard, and a good right hand has
always been troublesome for Louis.
It was right that Schmeling used
to club the Brown Bomber into
coma in their first fight, and if Pay
chek can get across sharp one to
the jaw early in the going he may
slow the champion down enough to
do some more damage.
But Paychek also seems to have
almost no defense against left
hook and by the time Louis hooks
a couple of lefts to the head some
thing is likely to start falling. An
other item against Paychek is that
he fights standing straight up, maxi
ing perfect target for jabs, instead
of going into crouch as Godoy did.

Valley Semi-Finals,
Boys Club Tonight

Semi-final games in the Nauga-
tuck Valley Intermediate tourna-
ment at the Boys Club will be
played this evening beginning at
tbs. The North End Trojans, their
lineup strengthened by the addi-
ton of Rosa, LaValle and Roach,
will be slightly favored to take the
Boys Club Collegians into camp
in the first contest. The Collegians
have Fisher, Mont and Andolina as
the sparkplugs and may surprise
the favored Trojans. At BIS the
two Bristol entries will take the
floor in an effort to eliminate each
other Both quintets are masters
of the zone defense both extensively
and defensively and the game is
bound to be a close and bitterly
fought affair all the way through
with the taller and more aggressive
Hoboes, former Bristol high team,
slightly favored to win the decision
and enter the final ON Saturday
night against the winner of the
Trojans Collegians game.

ton wore out, now and then, like
over-used batteries. And the PSYCHE
artist had to give him fresh brain
Juice at intervals.
Paychek's manager, Harold Stein
man, is nuts about psychology also.
He got that way while plotting
mental giant known as Kingfsh
Levinsky, who had more luck with
herring than with other heavies.
Because of Paychek's success with
the Chicago psychiatrist, Steinman
decided to double-up on Johnny. He
obtained the services of Benny Leon
ard, who added plenty of brains
when he was lightweight champion.
Leonard is such smooth talker
that he has to sand-paper his tongue
while eating. He sold Paychek on
the idea that he's the greatest fight
er since the days of Jim Figg.
Queer
But even Leonard's lingual lozen-
ges lost their wallop at times, and
during the challenger's recent con-
ditioning activities at Pompton Lakes
Johnny would rise from his bed of a
morning, gaze at himself in the mir
ror and inquire, How do you feel
today? Can you lick Louis? Oh-now
don't feel that way about 1t. Ora
cious, can this be neurosis? You
must call your Chicago psychiatrist
Immediately" So Johnny would gal
lop down stairs, get the Chicago
brain guy on the phone and take
long-distance treatment for his ego.
This happened two or three times
a week.
Can you imagine what a telephone
job that Chicago belfry doctor will
have tomorrow trying to restore
what's left Of Paychek's ego after
Louis gets through with him to-
night. If Badly John doesn't lose his
ego, along with couple of teeth and
considerable blood, in the very first
round, I'll call UP that Windy City
brain wrangler and let him start
workin' on me.

overflow crowd damned st. STAINS
hall and saw the Phantoms come
through with 81 to 80 victory
when Bunny Senski sunk free
try with five seconds to play to
break a 1920 score.
The Tramps, however, played
without the services of Gene Hayes,
their high scorer, who will, however,
be in their lineup when the two
teams meet here tomorrow night.
Last nights game was featured by
rough playing and considerable
wrangling on the part of both
teams.

meet the Wallingford Boys Club to-
morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock

Willie Hoppe Sure
OF First Prize
In $4,000 Play

Chicago. March Willie
Hoppe Of New York, the former
wonder boy" of billiards, continued
on his way toward another worlds
championship of three-cushion play
today with a story-book run of 10
victories without defeat.
He defeated Allen Hall, Chicago,
so to 43, last night in 51-inning
match that tested all his ingenuity
He started the game on the run with
% billiards in the first six innings
while Hall struggled along with nine.
The next five innings were scoreless
for the master, however, and Hall
again became a formidable oppo-
nent.
Hoppe had high runs of six and
Hall rolled up high tours.
With only one week remaining in
the tournament, Hopes string of
Is victories gave him the lead in the
contest for the world title and
$4,000 prize money. His closest OPP
ponent today was Jay Bohemian,
Vallejo, Calf, who had won eight
and lost five.
In other games, Johnny Layton,
st. Louis, defeated the defending
champion, Welker Cochran, San
Francisco, so to 43, in an extended
Spinning battle. Layton ran a high
of nine, Cochran high five. Joe
Chamaco, Mexico City, claimant of
Cochran's title, easily defeated Ar
thur Rubin, New York, 500, in So
innings. Arthur Thurnblad, Ken
osha, Wis, took another easy game
from Otto Reiselt, Philadelphia, so
to 26, in 81 innings.

is: 'They can bring him back any,
time"
The only soft touch" of the en-
tire card was Johnny Coleman, q
big, blonde 200 FOUNDER who hardly
knew how to keep his hands up. He
proved to be such a punching bag
for Dula Kovach Of Naugatuck that
the bout was stopped in the third
round.
Close Enough
Tony Clio of New Haven finish
ed strong against the Red Max Katz
of Waterbury which impressed the
referee enough to give Clio the
nod, though Katz deserved draw
as he won the second and third
rounds handily.
Another show was announced for
Buckingham hall, April II though
the main bout principals have not
as yet been agreed upon.

The new committee, he ex-

The Miami Rabbinic Association
is accomplishing much toward the
promotion of mutual good will be-
tween Christians and Jews by its
Sunday radio broadcasts. Non
Jewish members of the recently
organized Round Table Confer
ence of Jews and Christians" are
its frequent guest speakers.
Relative to anti-Semitism, it
should be noted that until the col.
lapse of the boom Miami was free
of the virus. Since then there has
been sporadic outbreaks of hostile
propaganda by frustrated specu-
lators, arrogant bigots and hood
lums. It's visible manifestation has
been confined to "Gentiles Only"
signs in certain hotels and apart
ment houses. Gentle property
owners who recognize that Jewish
investors are largely responsible
for the steady increase in realty
values frown upon anti-Semitic
agitation. The Miami clergy main
tains a friendly attitude toward
the Jewish community. The same
may be said of the local press.
Both daiIies devote much valuable
space to purely Jewish activities,
and they frequently carry editor
ials highly favorable to Jewry.

heartened by the tragic death of
