JENKINS SEEKS
CROWN, CATTLE
Manager Caplin Explains
Cow Talk For AmberS
Bout
BY HENRY SUPER

Greenwood Lake, N. Y, April Is.
-UP)-He used to be hungry guy
who took to boxing so he could
eat regularly.
Now Lew Jenkins, the kid from
SWeetWater, Tex, wants to win the
lightweight title and help feed the
world.
On Ma 10, the stringbean from
the Lone Star State, tackles Light
weight Champion Lou Ambers, and
if the crown changes hands, you
can give most of the credit to the
herds of cattle that roam the Texas
plains.
Il figure I'm pretty lucky" Jen-
kins said today after a brisk work
out" to be fighting for the title
after only a year on the big time.
I'd like to win the title but more
than anything else I want to buy a
ranch with my share of the gate.
If I win, then I'll be able to make
more dough and stock the place
with plenty of CATTLE"
jenkins is serious about that ranch
so serious that his double-talking
Manager Hymie Caplin figures that
cattle viii lplay as important a
part in the fight as will left hooks
and right crosses.
This kid is so nuts about get
ting that ranch and all them cows, "
said Hymie, that he'd lick Joe Louis
to get them"
Bobbing about the dressing room
of Jenkins camp here, Caplin DEM
onstrated with sound effects how
all this will work.
"The bel. rings for the first round
so insteada tellin' Lew to go out
and murder the guy so he'll be
champion, tell him to think of
all them cattle"
$50 he wins the first round so
tell him that he's just won HIM
self so COWS. To my other fight
ers usually say they're winning
c notes because that's the only
language they understand"
After few minutes of this, Cap
lin had Won nine rounds, which
added up to some $50 COWS, which
seemed an unusually large number
of cattle to take in such a short
time. But Hymie has it all fig
ured out.
Sure, I know that sounds nuts"
he said, but if we ever get that
many rounds up on Ambers and Lew
gets to wondering what he's gonna
do with all them COWS I got Just
the answer for him.
I'm the tenth round, I send him
out and say Now that you've got
all them COWS you gotta have a place
to keep them. So win yourself a
couple barns in this round"
We asked Jenkins how he felt
about all this.
I'D sure like to have enough COWS
to start stampede" he said.

eyes alert for a smart deal.
But Joe Jacobs is dead-Joe ia
cobs, manager of Tony Galento,
maker of seven world champions
spendthrift along Broadway, a rest
less little man with ir-trigger
brain who came out of HelPs Kitch-
en- to become the smartest prize
fight manager of our time.
He died in doctors office last
night after a heart attack He would
have been A years old on May 7
and up until the moment ne was
stricken his brain was te-r1ir4g with
great plans for building Galento
into another match with Joe Louis.
No one knew Jacobs had faulty
heart, and the one who suspected it
least was Galento.
That was only one of many things
people didn't know about Yussel the
Muscle. No one knew far certain,
for instance, where he lived. He
appeared almost every afternoon in
Leatherfist Lane, freshly narbered
shoes cleaning with polish and
new cigar in his teeth. But after
making a round of the night clubs
in the evening Che never allowed
anybody else to pick up check
he would disappear abruptly, not to
be seen again until the next after
noon.
Muscled In
Jacobs enemies and he made
many during his turbulent career
called His Yussel the Muscle be-
cause they commended he was eter-
nally muscling in to get piece of
a fighter. But no fighter ever
could ask for a better bargain than
to have Yussel for a manager. He
probably is the only person who ever
shouted man into the heavyweight
championship of the world, and that
happened on June evening at
Yankee Stadium 10 years ago. Max
Schmeling was fighting Jack Shar-
key and the winner was going to
inherit the heavyweight title that
Gene Tunney had given up. ia
cohs vas managing Schmeling and
the German was getting his brains
knocked out. Then Sharkey threw
a punch that looked low and
Schmeling went down. He laid
there for moment and started to
get up, but Jacobs leaned into the
ring, screaming: "Stay down there
stay down there" Then Yussel
turned his fury on the referee. Foul
foul" he shrieked, "stop counting
that man out" The referee hest
tated, stopped counting and then
gave the title to Schmeling on
foul.
I'VE Wuz Robbed"
Two years later Yussel added an
immortal phrase to the vocabulary
of boxing when Sharkey met
Schmeling again and regained the
title in a listless bout. AS soon
as the decision was announced Yus-
sci sprang out, grabbed the micro
phone at the ringSide and shrieked
to the radio audience: 1--WE wuz
robbed"
He PROBABLY deserves as much
credit as Schmeling does Tor the
Knockout that the German scored
against Joe Louis. Yussel was in
Something's corner and at the end
of the first round Max told him:
Zach, that Louis hits hard"
"Sure he does" Jacobs whispered
into Schmeling's ear, "but you can
punch too, Max and he's scared
of you"
Schmeling believed it, -egaiaed
his confidence and knocked out
Louis.
In 1928 Jacobs was the only Amer
lean boxing manager smart enough

JUNIOR JUMPS ON
N. B. A. FOR RULING

Boston, April 25-UP)- Paul
Junior, 30-year-old Lewiston, Me-,
veteran, who meets world welter-
weight champion Henry Armstrong
in a 15"round bout at Boston Gar
den tomorrow night, blasted the
National Boxing Association today
for its ruling that the fight would
not be recognized as a title match.
II can't understand the N. B. A.,
taking such a stand" Junior said.
The association ruled yesterday
that Armstrong; bout whit Junior
and scheduled match with Eric
Boon of Great Britain would not
be recognized because btoh conten-
ders were ligEtWeights.
Junior said that Armstrong was
only a lightweight when he won
the welterweight championship. In
fact, he has fought for the title
out of his class in winning both the
lightweight and WelterWeight titles
and he fought middleWeight
championship bout only recently"
Junior, New England lightweight
champion, has campaigned for
several months as WelterWeight.
He probably will weight about 1879
pounds for the Armstrong bout.
The ArmStrong-Junior bout has
been recognized by the Massachu-
sets Boxing Commission as a
championship match.

WILBY LOSES TO
ANSONIA, 5TO |

Good pitching dotted the opening
high school game of the local sea-
son in which Ansonia won a 5 to l
decision over Wildly yesterday at
Hamilton Park, under weather con-
ditions far from ideal for baseball.
Chestone and zedroWski were the
opposing pitchers, the Wildly hurler
giving but four hits in eight innings,
and finishing the game with II
strikeouts, five of them in succession.
Ansonia did not earn a run until
the ninth, while Sizer and Gogins
were responsible for Wilby's lone
run.
Jimmy Lees lads have been hand
icapped by lack of practice, espec-
tally hitting drills, as the weather
has been off form for baseball and
about everything else except grass.

prise two outstanding bouts on to-
nights final fistic program Of the
indoor season, presented by the
Waterbury A. G. at Buckingham
Hall.
Briefly and truthfully, the double

leather-swinging iS-an eight round
return bout beaween Tommy Carlo
of Waterbury and Lloyd Lasky of
New York. A six round preliminary
between Jimmy Bell of New Haven
and Bobby Ellis of New Britain.
Another eight round bout will
show Dick Turcotte of Waterbury
who learned his lesson about mid
dleweights in las popnd bout with
Larry opposite of New York, reput-
ed to be a professional of three
years experience around the New
York clubs who has boxed many
better performers than Turcotte and
held his own with them.
Carlo and Lasky is the one bout
the customers want to see. Reason
therefor is the stirring battle that
lasky gave the local lad two weeks
ago, impressing Referee Dan Buck
ley enough to win the decision,
though Carlo finished strong in tbs
last two rounds of the skier. Tonigh

Armstrong TO
| SEEK QUICK K. 0.
over JUNIOR
"CrOwds" Beginning to
Get On My Nerves" Says
COlOred Champion
BY TOM NOONAN
UNITED Press staff CORRESPONDENT

Boston, April 25.-CUP)-Henry
Armstrong, sepia slugger who once
held three world championships
was set today for the 10Th defense
of his welterweight title in a 15-
round bout against the veteran
Paul Junior of Lewiston, Me-, al
Boston Garden tomorrow night.
The brown buzz saw finished
tuning his heavy artillery yesterday
He appeared in top condition as he
chilled two sparring mates in less
than three rounds with 16-ounce
training gloves at local gymnasium
He planned only light exercises to-
day and expected to weigh about
142 for the bout.
Armstrong went to Worcester last
night and accidentally was punched
in the jaw while refereeing four
round preliminary bout. The blow
did not affect him, however, and he
continued in the arbiter's role.
Since he stripped Barney Ross of
the welterweight diadem in New
York two years ago, the 26-year-old
negro already has made more sue
cessful defenses in this division than
his 10 predecessors.
Likes Poetry
The soft-spoken Armstrong who
was poet laureate of his st. Louis
high school class said he expected
the hardest kind of a fight and
would not be surprised to get it. A
fellow as experienced and rugged
as Junior is dangerous for the full
l5 rounds. and he can hit too."
A heavy favorite against the
Frenchman who has fought 1853
bouts in 10 years as professional
Armstrong planned to seek a quick
Knockout win. And if he does, it is
doubtful that the 3O-year-old Junior
will go the distance.
Armstrong, perpetual puncher
With both hands probably will re-
tire at the end OF this year after
several more bouts including a
scheduled defense against Eric Boon
of Great Britain. He repeatedly has
crossed more than $55O,OO in purses
and paid $4,000 of 100000 an
nuity that will start paying divi-
densd in 1945. For the Junior fight.
he has a $4,000 guarantee with a
As per cent privileges.
He turned pro in 1892 after three
years in the amateurs. During his
career he has fought In about 300
bouts, approximately two thirds of
them as a professional. He has been
stopped only once as money fight
er, technical knockout in the fourth
round of a preliminary bout at
Pittsburgh. After more than a de-
cade in the ring, he carries only a
Scared left eye.
Wants Real Estate
His recent draw with middleWaight
king Ceferino Garcia in California
Armstrong; said. ended his hopes for
fourth title. He said that he would
stick to the welterweight division
IN the few bouts left for me-"
Strangely enough. Armstrong who
attained fame by his knocking down
tactics expects to become a builder
upper. He already has entered the
real estate business in Los Angeles
and owns several house.
