Dearth of Real
Foes Ends Big
Gates for Louis
By ROBERT McSHANE

Released by Western Newspaper Union ,
HOUGH the hue and cry to
break up the Yankees seems
to have diminished to a mere wits.
per. the active endeavor on the part
Of several second-rate pugilists to
break up Joe Louis has sunk to
even lower depths
Joe refuses to be broken up In
fact, he appears to be shatter-proof
At least he's impervious to the at.
tack launched by pretenders TO the
heavyweight throne. 1t is true that
some Of them had no attack. others
were paralyzed by fright and the
rest relied on a divine providence
to protect them from the black
scourge. But that wasn't Joe's faul,
he fought them as they came,
drawing no line and refusing no
bouts.
The Brown Bomber's last two
fights clearly indicate his standing
In heavyweight ranks. He Is miles
ahead Of the field. from which no
one battler can be chosen MS .

Who's Next on List?

Shall the winner Of the Tony Ga
lento-Max Baer 6ght meet the
champ? Remember that Baer quit
to Louis. and that Galento, though
courageous. is physically a travesty
on the sport. Both of them were
knocked out by Louis, so where is
the interest in either again facing o
superior foe?
Another Godoy match would be

err than as a fighter. due entirely to
his speed in keeping out of Louis
reach. se
There isn't even a remote posi-
bility Of a natural fight In the
near future Any present-day brawler
would be punching bag for Joe,
and the public knows it, which
makes the situation even more EN-
barrassing. All in all. it's a prob
lem that will tax Jacobs engenuity
The question is in Mike Jacobs
lap. No one can answer il for him
The day Of Louis big purses seems
to have passed. Lacking adequate
compensation and the stimulus OF
serious rivalry, it would not be sur

ring.
Billy Conn. one Of the more highly
touted fistic performers, is advanced

to you for?'
so I can practice bunting he
said.
"'You bet your life I'll get some
body to throw to you,' i said.
II got couple of strong-armed
young fellows out to throw to him
and he practiced bunting for an
hour. He's been at it every day
ever since. The other pitchers have
been practicing, too. But not like
this kid.
All He Had to Say
"You see, I told him IL he could
hunt, Il might win two more ball
games q year for him. That's all
had to say. He'd do anything to
win two more games q year. He'd
stand on his head in the box IL he
thought II would help him that
much.
"It's the same way with pitching
with men ON the bases. That was
his big weakness-but it isn't any
more. They might steal on him

But il they think they are going to
run on him this year like they used
to. they're crazy. I hope some of
them try it. He was q sucker for
them once-but he's laying for them
now.
'Its a great thing to see in a kid
like that. The average kid breaking

around waiting for you to tell him

The recent Johnny Paychek fiasco

Mike Jacobs. Shirley Temple could
have offered more competition to the
champ than did the seni-bald, Is

A seconds after the start OF the
second round Jacobs knows now
that he was wrong in matching Pay
chek against Louis. Paychek was
frozen with fear. He didn't throw a
single punch worthy of the name.
His only consolation was that the
crescendo Of boos was split three
ways. Most of them were directed
at him. but the rest were meant
for Promoter Jacobs and Louis for
having anything to do with the lie.

'. Roads develop a country. They encourage industrial and commercial growth We advocate more roads and airfelds through out Alaska.
 l 8. With Alaska's billions of feet of timber standing idle, we advocate starting the pulp in- dustry at the earliest possible date. This would give employ ment to thousands and build new cities and homes.
 9. We advocate the develop ment of recreational areas and tourist attractions as an addition al source of income for the Terri tory.
 "10. More self-government, less absentee control, is needed in the Territory
 The merchants and business people of the Territory have or ganized-above is their creed - and a mighty good one. They have organized to represent and protect their vital business inter- eSts, and to combat the rising tide of governmental and other unfair competition to private in- dustry.
 Alaska is in the midst of an accelerated growth, due prlncip- ally to the huge army and navy construction program now under way. To insure the Territory the greatest benefits from this growth, it is important that the merchants and business men of Alaska have an effective voice in helping to form sane and log ical development program. They can become great constructive force in assisting in harmonizing the views of great numbers of residents of the territory.
 For too many years business men as a class have neglected to interest themselves in govern ment. They have felt that govern ment was essentially the pro- vince of the politician. Alaska's merchants and business men have now realized that if they are to say in business they must become actively interested in Ma tional, Territorial and local gov ernment, and in this age of or ganized endeavor must speak through their organization as a united whole, for the old adage, 'in union there is strength" is just as true today as when ut tered by the great Lincoln many years ago. I am quite sure that the Retail Merchants Association of Alaska will be of great value and genuine service to the Terri tory and its people.

better water supply. All this
week they have been busy drill
ing and working toward that
end. We know that soon too, we
will see a number of new houses
going up true to promise. Quite
a few people are looking for
houses. This will also give a
number of "brick pressers '
something to do. We note also
from out of town papers our
City Council is planning a big

Strange how a little work adds
to the beauty of anything. A
