NEW YORK, June 21.-Max Baer,
the penitent playboy, is next on Joe
Louis rapidly diminishing list of
opponents If the one time world
heavyweight champion hurdles Tony
Galento at Jersey City next month.
The bout in all probability will go
to Detroit or Chicago. depending on
which city promises the best pick
ings, but it definitely will be staged
in the West, not New York.
This momentous decision was
reached today after a conference
between Mike Jacobs, the promoter,
and Julian Black. chief clerk of the
Louis staff. Joe's opponent will be
Baer because no other candidate
with enough box Office appeal is
around and because Make figures
to score over the bulbous bartender.
Buddy Baer, Max's younger BROTH
er who has a couple of comeback
victories to his credit, is being saved
Tor a rainy day and will not be
sentenced to fight Louis next sum-
mer and Uncle Mike is afraid to pit
his pet, Billy Conn. against the title
holder lest the truant officer snatch
William right out of the ring. Conn
simply doesn't look the part of pre-
tender to the throne. He looks too
sweet for the role.
Baer After Bank Roll
Max not only Is cocksure of himself,
but also deadly serious about whip
ping Galento. He doesn't refer to
his prospective opponent as a bum
or showmaker-although he may
have to say some nasty things about
him when the publicity buildup is
turned on full blast. He knows Tony
IS tough and rough, but thinks he
has the style to beat him.
And Max wants to get in there
with Louis once more If possible.
He's making no bones about the
reason-money. This revenge and
honor business sounds well, but
Baer is interested only in padding
the bank roll.
As for Louis, he looks good for
years If the heavyweight crop fails
to produce challenger better than
the current subpar group. ,Godoy

BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, June 2l.-Battered
into a terrible condition by Joe
Louis lethal fists and only semi
conscious, Arturo Godoy of Chile yet
was able to lift his hamburgered
features down in the dressing room
at Yankee Stadium last night and
say proudly:
But I can take it, can't I? Sure,
Arturo can take it."
There wasn't much doubt about
that. and the crowd gathered around
the fallen Chilean told him so. 1t
appeared to make Arturo feel much
better. He had been knocked down
and out in the eighth round of a
fight that was too brutal and bloody
to witness with any relish, but he
had acquitted himself with courage.
None of the nine other fighting
men the big Negro has beaten since
he became champion took more
awful punishment than was meted
out to Godoy before he finally fell
forward on his battered face last
night, and was spared further blows

In l minute and "a seconds Of the
eighth Louis had accomplished what
he failed to do in Is rounds against
Godoy last February. A crowd Of
$4,000 got the thrill it was looking
for.
The Chilean had been down twice
under terrific punishment before
Cavanagh stopped it. He was up
but out on his feet after taking q
count of six when the bell ended
the seventh chapter. His seconds
worked heroically to send him out
for the fatal eighth. but it would
have been more merciful to have left
him on his stool.
Louis. never a man to let his
wounded prey escape, tore into the
emi-blind Godoy savagely. and in
a minute had dropped him for a
count of eight. Again the Chilean
groped his way erect, only to run
into another hurricane of lefts and
rights. A final short. sharp right
pitched him forward as blood
gushed from long cut over his eye.
Cavanagh then stopped it.
Joe Never More Formidable.
When he realized what had hap

BAseball's biggest sensation right
now Is the st. Louis Browns-and
you know why.
They have Just succeeded in cast
Ing the already confused first divi-
sion of the American League into
chaos.
Eventually 1910 may be remem-
bered as the year the mighty New
York Yankees folded up like a
hinge, but the plight of the world
champions and the jostling Of their
would-be successors is overshadowed
today by the achievements of the
Brownies.
Today the Browns are in fifth
place just game and a half be-
hind the Yanks. They got there
yesterday by blasting the Boston
Red Sox in both ends Of double
header. 81 and 11-4, to run their
current winning streak to six games.
1t is notable that the Browns
now have won ~ games and lost 80,
while last year they didn't get
their 9th victory until August 4,
by which time they had lost 68.
Browns Clout in Pinch.
They were irresistible as they went
about the business of humping Bos-
ton out of the league lead for the
first time since May S. In the first
game dour John Niggeling held the
Sox sluggers to five hits, and Har-
lond Gift came along with home
run in the ninth inning to decide
the game. Until then the Browns
had been limited to five safeties by
Dennis Galehouse.
In the second game the Browns
collected four home runs. the most
important being John Bernardino's S
with two on.
Given the opening the Cleveland
Indians rode right into the league
lead by beating Washington, 12-I.

Constantine Brown. summing up Of
Moscow's position in her new i'm
pending crisis is that the U. S. S.
r. government is going to keep her
sphinx-like attitude until 1t sees
how the wind is blowing.
There is little friendship in the
heart Of Stain for Hitler or Mus
solini. The Russian dictator fol-
lows a strictly realistic policy, how
ever.
In the last few weeks, if Molo-
toff's diplomatic riddles are inter-
preted correctly, Stain has begun
to conceive doubts over the axis
final victory. He is watching with
interest Rritain's resistance and de-
velopments in the United States.
Soviet's Real Aim.
The real aim of the Russian gov
ernment appears to be to encourage
the Germans and the Italians to
spread toward Asia Minor and thus
lengthen the lines of comnsunica-
tions. What the Soviets will do once
the Germans Italians are deeply in
volved in a struggle with the Bal
kan states depends entirely on ex-
tent OF their success.
The Moscow military authorities
know the difficulties involved in a
winter campaign in the Near and
Middle East. They know that air.
planes and tanks cannot do much in
the Macedonian Mountains and in
the murky plains of Thrace and
Asia Minor. But the German mill
tary experts have surprised the
world on so many occasions that
Stain has decided to wait and see
how Hitler's specialists will handle
this new enterprise.
Troops on Two Borders.
In the meantime the Soviet gen.
eral staff is concentrating troops on
two borders in Europe, on the Ru-
manian frontier, new divisions are
being brought to reinforce the exist
ing troops. The official explanation
is that the new situation in that
country requires special attention
| to prevent any surprises.
In Asia, the forces on the Turkish
Russian frontier are also being
strengthened without explanation.
The Germans are allowed to guess
that these troops will eventually be
sent into Turkey to take over the
Van and Bitlis districts If Turkey
decides to fight the axis. The British
and the representatives of Greece
and Turkey are not contradicted
when they like to think that the
Russian forces will be sent across
the Caucasian borders to bolster up
Turkeys resistance to the axis.

to command respect everywhere and
to heal the wounds of war. 1t Is
because Mr.. Roosevelt has lost moral
leadership in the world and openly
scorned peacemaking that his for
eign policy to date cannot be ap-
proved by those of us who, while
anxious to be of all help to Britain
even physical help in the form OF
outright war if that be neces-
sary, believe that the United States
has a g later destiny to fulfill
than is reAected in the threats and
challenges from American official
spokesmen which now fill the air.
To make peace in the world,
America needs a new figure at the
helm-a man of steadiness, disin-
terestedness and a willingness to
talk to all nations and peoples IN
a manner that conveys trustfulness,
unselfshness and sincerity. The
present administration seems willing
to commit us indefinitely to per-
manent alliance with one group OF
nations when our course should be
to lift America out of ENHANCEMENT
in Europe's territorial squabble SC
that we may bring human beings
everywhere into the greatest peace
alliance of all times-an alliance
that shuns one-man rule, whether
benevolent or despotic, and insists
that the ties of human brotherhood
must not perish from the face of the
earth.

The Political Mill
Democratic Politicians Of Iowo Look to Roosevelt,
Not Wallace to Offset g. O. P Vote

popular than Mr.. Krasche1 was in
1896, the President probably will
have to carry Iowa nevertheless, by
at least 100000 votes, maybe more,
in order to make Mr.. Valentines
victory possible, SO strongly in
trenched is the Republican party
even yet in Iowa.
Good Campaigner.
Mr.. Valentine is turning out to
be good campaigner. He is
young-only So years old-and has
been member of the State Senate
and later United States attorney for
the southern district of Iowa. He
had to relinquish the latter job to
become candidate under the terms
Of the Hatch Act.
Gov Wilson is not personally pop
ular, although he has given the
State good administration, If you
can believe the more impartial
citizens. He has done something
about economy for the State gov
ernment which makes hit with
the Iowa voters, who remember that
the Democratic Federal administra-
ton has thrown economy to the
four winds and that the last DEM
ocratic State administration was
inclined to follow the lead of the
Federal Government.
OF the nine congressional districts
in Iowa seven are now represented
by Republicans in Washington.
They may add the ninth and even
the second district to the Republican
delegation. unless the President runs
remarkably well. At present, those
are the two Democratic districts
in the State. It's no wonder the
Democratic officeholders and those
who wish to be Democratic office
holders came out early with a de-
mand that President Roosevelt seek
a third term.
Mr.. Wallace was the first Demo-
cratic candidate for Office this year
who undertook to raise the issue
that Hitler desires the defeat of
President Roosevelt and the cleo
ton of Wendell L. Willkie. He it
was, in his acceptance speech in
Iowa, who charged that the G. o. P.
was the party of "appeasement."
Wallace-Inspired Bitterness Grows.
These charges have been followed
up more recently by Gov. Lehman
of New York, apparently desiring to
influence the huge Jewish vote in
the Empire State. and even by Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself, who gave
publicity at one of his press confer
ences to the newspaper story from
abroad that Hitler and Mussolini
were going to do something about
the American presidential campaign.
Mr.. Wallace, by his acceptance
speech, brought the first note of ac-
cute bitterness into the campaign,
a bitterness which has grown by
leaps and bounds and has been
evidenced more recently by egg
throwing, booing, etc, when Mr.
Willkie has appeared in public.
Audiences in moving picture theaters
all over the country not only ap-
plaud, but boo and hiss the Presi-
dent of the United States as well
as Mr.. Willkie when their pictures
are thrown on the screen.
1t looks as though the New Deal
ers were not too confident of sue
cess, when they stoop to such tactics
and attempt TO smear the Repub-
ncan nominee.
