I was talking to Jacobs agent be-
fore VIC wont INTO the theatre and
realized our mistake
Know anything about this guy
WalcOtt?' he asked nc. ANY kin
to old Joe: what's he got? Is he
hitte ror boxer" Is he signed up
with some manager. or can we get
him?'
When WoollcOtt made his first
appearance in a wheel chair. and
wearing glasses, the scouts cry of
dj5may could be heard all over the
theatre. He found me during the
first act ntornisSOn and was sore
as hell.
What is this gag?" he demand
cd. That guy cant fight a lick
I don't care how good box office
he is, f1c wouldn't last heat against
ten guys l can name you. Galento
would kill him with a left to the
belly. and that Billy Conn would tie
him up in knots. Whoever tippec
Mike off to this guy gave him a
bum steer. Whatcha gonna do with
guy that wears glasses? It's against
tho law to hit guy with chcaters
on"
WoolCOtt fought gamcly through
the first act IIc was hanging on
al times. but hc always managed
TO come through with punch that
Kaufman and Hart had taught him
after. heaven only knows how many
hours in tho gymnasium.
In the second act he seemed to
get a confidence and show more
Hart-Mord Moss Hart In the third
act, and he was watching tho clock
now, he quit his defensive tactics
and became offensive, particularly
TO the older and more staid members
Of the crowd. Some of his punches
flincSD were low, but it was obvious
that he was following instructions
from his corner.
When the last gong rang and
walked out I realized that although
7 had become a great dramatic cri-
tic. / realized that I still was sorry
lit wasn't Joe Walcott that 1 had

fight because he will train Pay
chek
Right now, the former light
weight champion is training the
Des Moines Golden Gloves team.
Louis made his first mistake In
boxing when he agreed to risk his
title against Paychek,' Leonard
said.
Il know what Tn talking about
because I trained Johnny for his
second bout with Maurice Strick-
land last summer and lived with
him for three weeks. I boxed with
him, did road work with him and
taught him how to throw his right
hand. And I'm not whistling past
a graveyard when I say that Pay
chek can really punch with his
right"
Leonard insisted that Louis was
slowing up. The champions show
ing against Arturo Godoy furnishes
ample proof of that, he said.
I've always contended that it
would take a boxer like Paychek
to beat Louis" Leonard said. John

Henry threw Isl rights and 157

Gray haired Judge Lands. czaI
CT professional baseball, smoked the
pipe OF peace today. following a
temporary truce with MacPhail
Breadon and company. who repre-
sent chain store baseball.
The farm system in baseball is
Goln9 on much AS before. Commits
sloner Lands has agreed to a new
amendment 10 cover protection of
players interests and all is quiet
once more along the baseball front
1t WIS conservatively estimated
that if Lands had not relented at
least ten minor leagues out of IL
would have collapsed.
The rev amendment will be sub
mltted 10 mail vote of the major
and minor leagues. and will offer
the PLAYER the protection Lands
insisted players must have If farm
systems continue to operate.
The new amendment eliminates
SO per cent Of the commissioner S
objections to working agreement
and farm clubs as the main effect
OF the rule will be TO take away
the incentive 10 keep a ball player
tied up under options and various
other ways in a chain store system
for a long period of time.
Probably. though the baseball
leaders 10 not realize it. the cagey
old judge was aiming at just such
an agreement all the time. Car
Lands plays his cards cleverly and
he usually gets just what he wants
IL the way OF baseball legislation
and in nine out of ten times his way
