BUENOS AIRES
 BACKS LOWELL
 AGAINST LOUIS
Victory Over Godoy Puts Argentine in Front
 As Challenger
By SAX BRADFORD

United Press Stan C0rreSpondent)
 Buenos Aires (UP)In the Argen- tine today they are talking about a world championship match between Joe Louis and Alberto Lowell, the home town boy who finally made good.
 LovellS victory over Arturo Co., doy has electrified this city that has blown hot and cold about the boy from across the tracks since his trip-hammer fists first brought him out of amateur ranks.
 The same Buenos Aires that looked down Q skeptical nose at Lowell when he was knocked out of the fight picture at the begin- ming of his professional career by Eduardo Primo has become wildly enthusiastic.
 At 29, Lowell Is at his peak. He handles his POP pounds like a mid dleweight and his hands like a lightweight. He is not knockout puncher, but an accurate, crafts manlike boxer. He has learned ring skill the hard way, and he has smashed his way back to world prominence over those who con- quered him in his brash youth, in- cluding Primo.
 BuenoS Aires took notice of him again when he moved north to de- feat the declining Maxie Rosen- bloom and take a licking in turn at the hands of Gunnar Barlund But fans here were hardly pre- pared for his triumph over the Chilean, Godoy.
 Now they are pointing out that Lowell is a StyliSt whose speed and intelligence make him a threat in any ring. They expect this speed and craft, particularly at close quarters, to match the deliberate, long-range delivery of the Detroit bomber. The Buenos Aires fighter has personality to match his skill. He likes applause and looks Tor 1t. but not to the point of in- terfering with his job in the ring.
 Lovell's boyhood in poverty stricken surroundings. his lonely, hard fight to the top through q long series of defeats, his longing for the adulation SO long denied him by his countrymen-all have left their stamp. He has never married. The greater part of his career has been away from his own people.
 Ne is ambzitious, and his ambl- ton has been fired by the taste oi public worship now that he has beaten dodoy.
 Sports pages in the Argentina are full Of Lowell. and the lad hai determined t0 prove he is not thG same up-and-down fighter whs disappointed his public in I0s' and 1898. He wants 10 be a req Idol with oil the trimmings, ane Argentina won't rest until he hAI had his chance -- m crack mk thl worlds heavyweisht title.

 He is a powerhouse who combines variety with speed.
 If Kovacs maintains his present gait and game, and doesn't let his exuberance get the best of him, he could parade through the major tournaments leading up to and win the national singles, Aug. 30-Sept. 6.

 Johnny Revolta Is one of golf's greatest scramblers.
 Revolta concentrates on short ahots, pointing out that 70 per cent of the game Is played around the greens.
 The result Is that the cleft clinned professional has one of the finest Ehort games.
 Even when he hits a trap, Re- volta expects to get down in 2.
 Though the curly-haired Italian hit seven traps, Walter Hagen, somewhat of a scrambler himself was beaten at his own game in the 1rst round of the P. G. A. Cham plonship in 1885.
 On each occasion, Revolta recov- cred and was down in one putt. The stance for the short approach from 80 yards away from the green should be open. Little pivot is re- Uuired.
 The hands should be ahead of tho ball and close to the body.

North Plant Machine (1ye).
 The Brass Goods, winners of the first half championship. lost their first game of the season by forfeit last week, due to the infected arm of their star pitcher, Bill Samela, and rumors of the resigning of sev- eral members of the team. However, Manager "Unix" Capanna of the Brass Goods, is confident of having full team on the field for the remainder of the season to win the second round honors.
 The Casting Shop has been dropped from further competition, owing to their impossibility of pro- viding full team on the fiel ddur- ing the past month.
 Although nicked for 12 hits in the game against the West Tube Mil, the veteran Tommy Marvin kept the blows well scattered, and the South Sheet registered two success sive wins over the West Tubers. Tommy also led the attack with a double and a walk.
 Kenny, South Sheets shortfielder had banner day in the hitting department, connecting for home run and two singles in four trips up. The home run coming with one on the sacks in the sixth in- ming.
 Wonder what really happened to the West Tube Mill? Looked like a championship outfit on pa- per, with performers like Paddy Damelio, Johnny Griffin. Cliff O. Loughlin, Freddy Jacovino, Boro- way, Art Leece, Bill Flanagan. Fax Healy. O'Buck. Fitzmaurice, and carl Beckerhouse in the lineup, and stu dropping a decision to South Sheet. However. Boroway with a pair of singles and a double. was the losing aggregation's best bet last week.
 Al Coolidge's North Plant Ma chine finaly broke into the win cOl- nmn at the expense of the East Tube NH by a count Of 0-6. It's the nirst cictory in games foE AIS team, and here's hoping for 6 successful second round season.

Riach And Ciesker Lose at Thomaston; Sullivan To Play

ThomaSton, July 16.-Two of the most promising Waterbury entries in the current tennis tournament at the Pine Hill courts, were sud- denly eliminated yesterday, Gordon Riach, Waterbury singles champion having been eliminated in 6 two set match, 6-3 and 9-7, which put his conqueror Ted Whitney of Hart- ford in the "jinx" class as far as Riach was concerned, as 1t was the same Whitney that caused the downfall of the Waterbury champ in the first round of the Pine Hills tourney last year.
 Another Brass City casualty was recorded when the promising Bill Giesker of R.P.I. was stopped by another Renssalaer player, Bob HugL gard Of Wethersfleld, in a sizzling three set match that was scored 6-S; 5-7 and s-6 for Huggard.
 Opportunity
 Waterbury's Joe Sullivan has a chance to get into the semi-finals against Russ Guold of Hartford If he can get past Roy TolleS of New Milford Guild, the Hartford city champion, would be the favorite against either quarter -finalist in to- days match.

BARRIERS Needed:
Heavy Demand

The demand for scientifically
trained BARRIERS and skin special
lists is SO great that leading barber
ing institutions admit they cannot
fill it. Griffin Barber College, 500
Mitchell st, S. W., Atlanta, Georgia
has on file continuous requests for
we'll prepared barbering graduates
Many thoroughly equipped persons
have been supplied. But the sur
face has only been scratched inso-
far as filling the insistent demand
is concerned.
Griffin training is surprisingly
low, compared with rates existing
at other leading barber colleges OF
the country. Attractive terms may
be easily arranged. Comfortable
rooms with board can be secured
near the school, Students should
be at least 16 years of age and in
sound health The siX-month
course is open to men and women.
Today, barbering is a profession
made SO by an act of the state leg

NEEDS INVESTIGATION

Here is great big field that needs immediate
governmental investigation, and since it is labor
problem what better agency could couduct the in
vestgation than this proposed new labor board?
Since the stock reply OF the aeronautcs and NUM-
tions ndustriasts is that Negro and white workers
just can't work together in peace and harmony why
could not this board publicly shatter this pet buga
boo which is absolutely not supported by facts?
Henry Ford, who lost a defense contract because
he refused to agree unonizaton of his plant should
be the first witness called by the board He could
give the lie in a very few minutes to this contention
For years Mr.. Ford has worked Negro and White
workers side by SIDE in his plants and during the
time has earned the envabe reputation of perfect
ing the mass production system
The Chrysler Corporation too, knows this idea of
Negro and white workers not being able to toll to-
gether to be a fallacy. Large numbers of Negro
skilled workers are employed by Chrysler along with
white men at their Plymouth automobile plant in
