Bomber Looks
For Kayo Win
Inside Of 9Th
Trains as Though He
Figures on Short
Evenings Work
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports Writer.
GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y, Sept.
25.-Simply because he's the kind of
guy who doesn't like to work over
time, Joe Louis expects to knock
out Lou Nova inside of eight rounds
in the Polo Grounds ring next Mon
day night.
Joe doesn't come right out In
meeting with prediction as to when
they'll be Juggling Louie the Yogi
out of there. Joe doesn't pick the
round any more, ever since he mace
a slight error one day in 1886 by tao
bing himself to kayo Max Schmeling
in a large hurry in their first fight.
That was bad one.
But the Bomber gave you the tip
off today as to how he feels about
this outing. He tore through his
training ritual up here in the Ram
apo Hills like pedestrian crossing
Broadway against the lights. He
sailed right over sparring partners
and drove through his 1oorwork as
if he was getting ready for an eight
rounder instead of the full 15-round
derby route. A couple of sports
writer's mentioned the fact.
Joe Adds to Repertoire.
Eight rounds?" he countered.
Say, that's an awful long nights
work, amt it?"
AS if he felt he needed something
special to counter the cosmic punch
or dance-with- -the-dynamic stance
that Nova will put on display for
the $4,000 or so folk sitting in on
Mondays proceedings, Joe has added
new wrinkle to his own repertoire
this time. You notice it when he
moves in to cuff his sparmates
around. It's little head bob and
weave.
Not much, you understand, but
about like the small swagger of a
fellow who's just put over a parlav
on a pair of 20-to-1 shots. 1t
doesn't help his attack any, but
1t should put little more handi-
cap on a sharpshooter trying to
nail the Bomber on the whiskers.
Thinks He'll Pass Army Test.
Joe doesn't know vet if this will
be his bow-out from the business of
bashing beaks. He turns in his
trunks and gloves next month to
/ get a khaki suit and do some fight
ing for Uncle Sam. That is, If he
can pass his Army physical exami-
nation in mid-October.
Guess I can" he added. "Aint
nuthin' wrong with me. cept maybe
fiat feet. but that shouldn't stop
me goin' in the Army"
This means he1l'be inducted, the
way he figures it, around the end
of October.
I'll keep in shape and do some

As Redbirds Win

Associated HTesS Sports WRITER.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are on the
threshold of the National League s
king row today.
Another victory for the Buns
against the Braves and a defeat for
the st. Louis Cardinals at Pitts
burgh would turn the trick.
This may not happen today, but
it shows how close the Dodgers
finally have come to clinching their
first pennant in 81 years. :.
At the moment the standings are:

will be idle tomorrow. Then the

games against the poor and harm

can clinch the championship by
beating Philadelphia Saturday, no

Both Leaders Win.
Both of the rivals won yesterday
the Brooks, Az, at Boston and the
Redbirds, 40. at Pittsburgh.
1t was Dixie Walkers 3lst birth
day anniversary and he celebrated
by slamming out triple with the
bases loaded in the seventh inning
to bring Brooklyn roaring from be-
hind.
Up till that time Kirby Higbe s
chances Of attaining his 22d victory
had appeared gloomy. Two singles
and two costly errors by Peewee
Reese and Cookie Lavagetto had
given the Braves pair of unearned
runs, lead which Big Jim Tobin
sought noblv to protect. In the
seventh. however, Joe Medwick beat
out a hit, Reese singled and Pinch
Hitter Lew Riggs loaded the bases
when force play on his grounder
fsi'ed.
Then up strobe Walker. who
hadn't made hit all day. Left

would lift a little looper as he had

game, although the Dodgers added
another run in the next inning for
good measure.

Harry. GHmbert scattered six
singles as the Cards shut out the
Pirates and earned his sixth straight
victory. But it was a hopeless. if
masterful. performance because the
point has been reached where
triumphs mean nothing to st. Louis
unless the Dodgers are beaten.
The remaining positions in the
National League flnally we're settled
in the other games. Cincinnati
clinched third place as Bucky Wal
ters pitched a six-hit. 20 shutout
against the Chicago Cubs. although
the Reds themselves were held to
four safeties. The New York Giants
sewed up fifth place by sweeping a
double header from the Phils, Al

2-hit ball in the nightcap. He had
a no-hitter for seven innings.

Maryland draftees soon will

actually indicted, it was an
nounced this week by the Third
Corps Area Headquarters. This
system Of so-called delayed

tried in Pennsylvania and is to
go into effect here as soon as
the new induction station at
Fort George G. Meade has been
completed.
Army spokesmen said that
the purpose of delayed Undue
ton Is to permit. selectees suf-
ficient time in which to settle
their personal affairs before
they enter the service. 1t is
thus expected to avoid the un-
certainty of the old system,
under which many men called
up by local draft boards quit
their jobs and made other per-
sonal arrangements, only TO be
rejected for training by Army
physicians at the induction CEN
ter.
