Manassas Mauler Returns To
Fistic Wars In 10-Round
Bout At Atlanta

ATLANTA, June 80 -R- A
jovial Jack Dempsey stuffed on
Georgia peaches and barbecue and
smoked only four cigars today on
the eve of his feud fight with. that
bad man of wrestling, Cowboy Lut-
trell.
Twenty five pounds heavier than
his old ring weight and IS years
old, the Manassas Mauler will see
tomorrow night how much remains
of his old ferocity. delicate timing
and first dynamite.
But Jack was enjoying himself
too much to take very seriously
questions about his designs on Joe
Louis and whether or not he thinks
he can duplicate the feat of the
old master, Bob Fitzsimmons, who
came back after a seven-year lay
off to whip some tough tones.
When the New York restau-
rateur pulls on six-ounce gloves
for a regulation ten-rounder to-
morrow night it will be the first
time since he hung up the gloves
after King Levinsky decisioned
him in 1882.

machine-gun manner of speaking.
How about training for the
grudge bout with the Texas wrest-
Ter?
"Oh yeah" he grinned. Il got
a shave and a haircut and cut

JERSEY CITY. N. j., June 80
changing a single
line of the script-even to the plain
and fancy names they've been
calling each other-Tony Galento
and Max Baer today wound up
what passed for serious training
for their 15-round brawl in Roose-
welt stadium here Tuesday.
Each cuffed a couple Of sparring
partners around for a few rounds;
each predicted he was going to
''moider" the other ''bum," and
each went through his usual rou-
tine of songs, gags and patter tor

the rival training camps.
Tomorrow, there'u be the usual
light loosening up exercises and
then both will come charging into

earshot, you'd better run for cover.
These are the co-holders OF the
championship for talking great
fights, and are battling it out this
time. to decide the king Of the

In spite OF Baer's vow that he'll

Just Talk
Talking about the former cham
pion coming back to try his hand
against Joe Louis is no more than
just talk. Dempsey might be en-
Pertaining some such fond notions,
but most people that know him
credit him with having better
sense.
Dempsey is almost a sure bet
to beat LuttreI tonight. The wrest-
Ter who has performed all over
this state once boxed, not very
well though, and when he couldn't
make any Roadway there he turn
ed to graphing. The old Mauler
can still punch, most people be-
lieve, and figure that he'll be on
the long end of the fight tonight
inside of the sixth round.
The former champ hasn't got the
stamina he once had and you'd
better not bet too heavily on his
being the great white hope IN
the fstic world.
Close Ones
Play yesterday in the Cape Fear
association could hardly have been
any closer. Every game was won
by a one-point margin, pointing
out better than we could tell you
that the teams were very evenly
matched.
Only another game or two re-
main in the first half schedule, and
it looks as if the Pepsi-Cola nine
has won itself another bunting.
They were first in the first half
last year and in the playoff with
Leland, the last half winners, they
won the season championship.
During the first half schedule,
play was fairly close throughout.
However, we look for some re
versal of form in the second hall
with some of the second division
clubs coming to the forefront.
This and That
The pitching department OF the
Boston Red Sox, just as everyone
expected, hasn't held up under the
stress and strain of summer cam
paigning. And it looks as if the
slogan of the American league for
the remainder of the summer will
be Beat the Bengals". Pro
football teams are looking for ends
from one end of the country to the
other. . The end is the most
sought after football player OF
them all, it seems. . They are
still catching the big ones in deep
sea fishing right now, but. nearer
shore there aren't any fish, so they
tell me. Fat Freddy Fitzsim-
mons. the 39-year-old Dodger
pitcher, yesterday won his 199th
game and he expects to hang up
the 2OOth-the mark he has been
reaching for-by the end of the
week. !

father of five children and First
Sergt. Donald J. Nevin. These
married men are among the highest
ranking non-commissioned officers
but there are many others who
would draw less pay in the lower
ranks.
Indicative of the need for ex-
perienced personnel in the Navy and
Marine Corps was Congressional
refusal to defer from further peace
time service through operation OF
the Conscription Act of men who
had served an enlistment in those
forces.
Although men who have served
three years in the Army are deferred
from further Army duty in peace
time. men who served an enlistment
of four years in the Marine Corps
or six years in the Navy are still
subject to the draft. Naval officials
explained they hoped by this means
to enlarge the volunteer reserve,
since all reservists need not register
and are therefore not subject to
the draft.
Veterans of the Navy or Marine
Corps probably would not be drafted
if they had dependents, but If they
enlisted in the volunteer reserves
they could be called whether they
had dependents or not.
