ers. Most people think the price
viii shorten as soon as the
Brooklyn fans begin to get their
money on the line. Best guess
right now is that the Yankees
probably viii be TO 5 favorites
Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning.
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
Yankees speaking: II said last
spring that Brooklyn had class
enough to win the pennsnt. Since
then they have added Billy Her
man at second base. n viii nc a
great series and IL will he fun 10
beat the Dodgers"
Don't stop me if you've heard
this one: Last winter Lou Nova
trained down in Pennsylvania
for his fight with Max Baer.
Billy Soose was working at the
same camp in preparation for a
bout against Ernie Vigh.
Ray Arcel WAS trainer for
both fighters. soose's fight was
scheduled considerably earlier
than Nova's and Lou, who had
grown a beard. decided he want
ed TO come into New York to
see the soose-Vigh business.
His managers advised him not
to come 10 New York while
wearing the beard. hut Lou kept
the whiskers, bought himself a
sl.l5 gallery seat AT Madison
Square Garden and settled down
To watch the fight.
Who's that fellow working in
sooses corner?" Nova asked the
man sitting next to him.
That's Ray Arcel,' the man
replied.
"Oh, yes" Nova said, hes
the fellow who trains Lou Nova.
BY the way, IL that Nova any
good? ,"
'He stinks," said the man.
"Oh, no he doesn't" Nova
yelled through his beard. Hes
going to knock out Joe Louis
some day"
Personal prediction: The
Dodgers are going to find that
Spud Chandler is a very tough
hombre if and when he starts a
game against them in the series.
The big guy seems to have
recovered from all his ailments
and is really throwing that ball
past the hstters. He worked
against the Washington Sena-
tors last Friday. turned in q

NEW YoRK Lou Novs's fan
tsstie comeback campaign. from
grsve-edge 10 glory. reaches its
climax tonight before some $4,000
spectators at the Polo grounds
where he has his dream shot at
Joe Louis heavyweight crown
It's climax night too for Louis,
the great Negro champion, who is
making his last fight before going
into the army-his 10th title de-
Tense. and against the man rated
the most dangerous opponent he
ever faced.
Nova IL desperately deter
mined to win. This determine
tion lifted him off his hospital
cot Is months ago when doc
tors insisted he was dying. IL
fueled him along the tough
trail. But. Louis appears
equally determined To pack
his crown into the army.
Hence their scheduled 15-round
battle may blossom into another
Dempsey-Firpo brawl. which was
staged at the same Polo grounds
in 1928 Like Dempsey and Firpo,
both of tonight's principals con-
centrste on attack and are rather
careless on defense. Both are
likely to be on the canvas in the
early rounds.
$4,000 EXPECTED
Prospect of torrid leather toss
ing should bring out a crowd Of
about $4,000, largest fight gather
ing since 10000 attended the Sec
ond Louis-Schweling bout in IS.
Promoter Mike Jacobs expects a
gate of about $780, 900, even If to-
days threatened rain causes a
two-day postponement to Wednes-
day.

today indicated that the weather
might clear in time for the bout,

Meanwhile Louis is the bet
ting favorife at IL IN 5, de-
spite Novs's apparent prowess
at 26 yesrs-pesk age for
fighter--snd his assists from
the cosmology and Yogi.
Louis il only one year older. 81,
but he has had 81 fights in the
past seven years and he has been
in almost constant training, fac
tors which tend to burn one out.
The champion apparently showed
enough stuff" in training at
Greenwood Lake, N. Y, to con-
vince the smart-money boys that

BREEZY HILL, LA. So you women think mere men don't know anything about home-making? You should see the army keeping house in the field.
 You think you could do as well? Maybe so. lady, but your day would be full of little incidents like this:
 Junior, kill that rattlesnake for mama like a good boy. Then run over to the mudhole and see if they've got the kitchen loose yet
 Just a sample. I watched the e2nd brigade setting up camp after their 1.OOO-mile trek from Florida. Quite a suburban development goes up in these pine woods. Uncle Sam, realtor.

 The road is a degenerate cow path. It goes all to pieces. Trucks groan through it in compound low gear. Pretty soon they just groan mo go. Where it was is mess that looks like equal parts waffle batter, chocolate pudding and li- brary paste.
 They hook wire ropes to the trucks and snake 'em out with winches. They get their tents up. The smart ones ditch all around their tents so the rainwater drains

 Physical Exams
 After the breakfast, the men will be marched to the American Le- zion Dugout of the Afford Johu Bradford Post here, where staff of three medical officers from Sit ka will start physical examinations. If the Juneau troops move on schedule. they should arrive at the Legion hut at exactly am.
 Most of that day, the three first lieutenants from the Sitka medical detachment will examine the men. | George c. Ficklin and Raynor E. Holmes, doctors, will go over the pumps, pipelines and pulmonary or gans of the guardsmen, while Julian H. Hill, dentist, will mine their molars, cuss their bicuspids, and size up their incisors.

 Quarters, If Desired
 l Even though guardsmen are per mitted to quarter themselves in their homes until departure from the city, men who wish to be quar- tered by the army after induction date will be taken care of at the ] fair building, Major Graham said.
 Anyway, to get back to the schedule, after physical examina- tions have been completed, . t h e guardsmen will immediately begin preparing property of the unit for shipment to the training centers. And when everything is ready to go, they'll run home and pack their own tooth brushes and other per-
