Move Declared Step to
Make This Country
Worlds Chief Center
By OLIVER MCKEE.

With the elimination Of Antwerp
and Amsterdam as distributors, and
with London an objective of the
Nazi aerial blitzkrieg, the United
States is likely to become the worlds
chief diamond center, the metals
and minerals division of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
predicted today.
The Diamond Corp. and the Dia-
mond Trading Co., subsidiaries Of
the De Beers diamond group, con-
trolling most of the worlds output,
are planning to establish company
in New York to cut. polish and mar
ket South African diamonds, accord
ing to information recently received
from the American Consul General
at johannesburg When established,
this company will be under Ameri-
can direction, and its imports will
consist chiefly of diamonds and bril-
liants in the rough.
Though the United States has long
been the worlds largest diamond
market, the cutting and distribution
of these gems have been mainly
centered in Antwerp and Amster-
dam. Since the Nazi conquest of
Belgium and Holland, these coun-
tries have been cut off from overseas
trade. The diamond merchants OF
Antwerp and Amsterdam, earlier,
planned to move either to France
or the United Kingdom. In view of
war developments, such move
would now be of no advantage.
Hailed as Important Step.
The Diamond Corp. buys and,
through its subsidiary, the Diamond
Trading Co.. sells about 95 per cent
of the worlds output of rough dia-
monds. The establishment by this

Louis-Postor Go Here Seems
Sure if Latter Disposes

Aided and abetted by the Variety
Club, Promoter Joe Turner is ready
to hook the family jewels to bring
Joe Louis here for a title match
with Bob Pastor in September.
Articles for the same have been
signed and sealed and are awaiting
delivery by Pastor, who must hur-
die Pittsburgh Billy Conn before
Washington can have a peek at
Louis in a title match.
Ambassador Ell Gabriel Menendez,
who puffs a big, black corona and
makes matches for Turner when
not serving on diplomatic missions

the Louis match one month ago

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The
american Professional Football
League was a toddling infant to-
day, after a hectic birth, and it
appeared that it might learn early
an important natural law-survival
of the fittest.
Only a few hours after the organ
izers took two days to elect officers,
decide schedule and select team
names, the new leagues right to call
itself the American Professional
Football League" had been ques-
toned by an organization claiming
it is in business under the same
name.
In Cincinnati Charles j. Heitzler,
president of the American Profess
sional Football League" declared
the loop formed in Buffalo had no
authority to use the name Amer
lean"
Will Draft College Talent.
He said his organization, five
years old and formerly known as
the Midwest Professional Football
League, was incorporated as the
American last year.
Meanwhile. William D. Griffith,
Columbus, Ohio. president of the
Buffalo born american" League,
asserted member teams would be
allowed to draft college players,
who were not still in school, begin
ming next year.
Griffith, former Ohio State Uni
versity publicity director, listed the
six teams in his league, their nick
names and home stadiums as fol-
lows:
Buffalo, N. Y; Indians, Civic
Stadium.
Boston, Mass; Bears, Fenway
Park.
New York City, Yankees, Yankee
Stadium.
Cincinnati, Ohio; Bengals, Cros-
ley lfield.
Columbus, Ohio; Bullies, Red Bird

Milwaukee, Wis; Chiefs, Dairy

A 25-player limit for each team
has been set, Griffith said, with
three additional players for the
suspended list" but a minimum of
20 players will be required for each
squad.

Griffith said the leagues sched-
ule would be played on a home-and-
home basis from September Is to

Conn vs.. Pastor
Victor TO Get
Louis Fight
D. c., Chicago, Detroit
Bidding to See Bob
Bottle Champion
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-With the
gorgeous figure of Madcap Make
Baer apparently painted out of the
title picture, Artist" Mike Jacobs is
getting ready to sketch the winner
of next weeks Bob Pastor Billy
Conn tussle in against Joe Louis in
September, wherever there's the best
demand for such art.
Into his Broadway studio COM
mlttees are coming almost daily to
see what they can do about landing
this fall spectacle. He's already en-
tertained propositions from Detroit,
Chicago, Pittsburgh and Washing
ton.
Max Demands $4,000.
Madcap Make was supposed to
get the title shot as a result of his
recent win over Tony the globular
Galento. But Madcap Make has the
idea that if he risks life and limb
against Louis again, anywhere, 1t
should be worth a guarantee of
$4,000. And, ever since Mike had
to dig way into the sock to pay of
the costly collection of ivory for his
carnival of champions" some four
years ago he's guaranteeing "nuthin
to nobody"
A week ago Mike announced that
Conn, If. he passed Pastor next
Tuesday in the Polo Grounds, would
get Louis as a reward" Today he
expanded that to include Pastor and
added that Detroit, Chicago and
Washington have approached him
on a third set-to between the
Bomber and Bobby, provided Bob
takes care of Conn in the approved
manner. Gabe Menendez and Bill
Mccormick came up from Washing
ton yesterday to talk about it and
went home with a promise that there
was very good chance the tea
party would go to Griffith Stadium
AS for a Conn-Louis get-together
If Pretty Boy Billy does that
thing to Pastor-it's between Pitts
burgh and New York. Boxing Com
missioner Havey Boyle came up on
behalf of the Smoky City and ad-
vised "Uncle Mike" that Mrs. r. K.
Mellon of the Pittsburgh MELONS
was interested. Mike said that he'd
bear the bid in mind, but he said
this much today:
"If Conn wins next week, and by
kayo or lop-sided edge, I'll have
to put him in with Louis right here
in New York"

match will draw between $150,00O
and 100000, with top price of
$3.50 for ringside seats. Jacobs, of
course, wants the standard top of
$3.50 for ringside pews, but both
Turner and the Variety Club feel
that is trif1e high for Washington

A revised and moderately i'm.
proved Washington baseball club
returned to Griffith Stadium today
equipped with a new and acceptable
first baseman in Stubby Jimmy
Bloodworth and pitching staff
which is squared away more promis-
ingly than at any time this season
Washington, of course, isn't 60
ing anywhere in particular in the
current campaign, but the peren-
nial plea of wait until next year
now seems to pack more punch than
similar statements issued in the
sunset of other seasons.
The Mats seemingly own three OF
the leagues more highly regarded
pitchers in Dutch Leonard. Ken
Chase and Sid Hudson and, if con-
fidence is any criterion, 20-year-old
Walter Masterson is poised to aid
that threesome tremendously in

Masterson, who has served two
full seasons with the Mats, feels he
will begin to reach his peak next
year. The bespectacled yorngster
who graduated from Philadelphia
sandlots to a major league team
says he has benefited from his
comparatively brief association with
the Mats and will be ready to prove
it another year.
Walter Glad He Missed Minors.
'It's been said I should have
served a coupla years with a minor
league team before coming into
the majors" says Masterson, "but
I don't believe. it. I think I've

Washington than I could in five
