DETROIT MAN 70 GIVE 12O BOXERS BIG OPPORTUNITY
Puts Up SlO,OOO First Prize for Dinner; Won't
 Sell Jacobs a Ticket
By EDMUND sTEEvES United Press stan COrreSpondent)


 Detroit, Oct. o.-(UP)-Pudgy, wax-mustachioed Frank Barbaro, Q former coal miner and auto worker who plucked fortune out Of high ball glasses, may be the man to make the first serious inroads on Promoter Mike Jacobs pugilishc property.
 This 42-year-old night cluh op- orator who decided 1t was more lucrative to entertain wage earners than be one has Q plan that, like his floor show extravaganzas, is nothing short of colossal. He plans to throw more than 20 tons of beef lin the form of i28 fighters-into the ring on Oct. i7 for the open ing of what he calls Flank Bar" baro,s international white hope heavyweight tournament"
 Expensive
 To fight experts, success for this unprecedented tournament is an impossibility. To Barbara it's as simple as smelling out the S75,O0O which he expects to spend on the show.
 He'll run the 64 three-round elim- ination bouts on the opening night straight through until the wee hours when he normally would be closing his night club. Two rings will be used and the 32 survivors will meet the following Friday. The tourna- ment will continue tthus for seven weeks.
 To Barbara and his cohorts, the fact that the. winner will receive $l0,000 first prize Is apparently sec- ondary to his designation aS the white heavyweight champion of the world"
 "Then we gonna take that boy and fight him with Joe Louis," Saya Barbara. We gonna keep chai- lenging until that Joe fight us."
 Suggestions that his champ Dc matched with Lou Nova, Billy Conn Abe Simon or any Of the men re- gently licked by the Brown Bomber were spurned by Barbara.
 After" Uncle Mike
 Barbara, seif-styled the "out. standing host from coast to coast talked to Jacobs aobut his punch parade only aS 6 project too big to stage in his club. But when Mike pooh-poohed the Idea, he set his sights on the New York promoter
 "That Jacobs, he got the fight game in Q corner" Barabaro said. I'm gonna yank 1t out and set this town on fire, at least aS far aS box ing Is concerned"
 Twenty paid scouts have helped Barbara unearth about 100 sluggers for his carnival SO far. Included are Golden Glovers, dancers, cow boys, musicians, policemen, ex-con- victS and even few seasoned fight- CTS like Pat ComiSkey, Johnny Den. son and Mickey Hayes. Comiskey, however, may not appear because of injuries suffered in . recent motor- cycle accident.
 "Of course, the first tournament may send just so much money down the drain," Barbaro said. But next year, when she's a success, I'm not even gonna sell Jacobs 6 ticket

PASTOR MATCH WILL BE TEST
 FOR IRISH HOPE
Young ROdie O'DOOley of Colorado Boasts String
 of ' KOS
BY JACK V. FOX

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Denver, Oct. 9.-(UP)--A fight ing 1rishman has come out of the West. He is "Rowdy" Rodie O. Dooley, e green youngster with the naive but highly effective theory that If you hit harder than the other fellow you'll win the fight.
 ODooley's slam-bang tactics have produced such results in the four months since he turned pro, the boxing fathers see In him a possible contender for Joe Louis title, He is scheduled to meet the veteran Bob Pastor in Denver on october 27. ..-
 The 20o-pomd slugger broke into boxing's big time with Q string of seven consecutive knock outS-four in the first round-and one decision in eight professional fights. This record and his show ing at the national amateur tour nament in Boston last summer brought him q ranking this month as one of the 10 top heavyweights in the country.
 Llkened to Dempsey
 And out here In the West the oldtimers see e great similarity between the 2l-year old oDooley and another boxer from Q small Colorado town--Jack Dempsey.
 O'Dooley is built like Dempsey, he thinks like Dempsey, he fights like Dempsey. He'll stand up to any man and slug until one of them drops, and his record shows how well the theory has worked SO far.
 O'Dooley is green and awkward, In his last fight with Andy (Kid) Miller, Q veteran of fights with Max Bear, Tony Musto and Lou Savold, ODooley won e decision but took boxing lesson. Sheer power and the ability to take a punch and come back won him the fight from the crafty Miller.
 Develops Left Jab
 But the Irish boy Is learning fast. Where once he depended en- tirely on his deadly right, he now is using 0 flckering left to keep his opponent off balance. He's fast, he's young and full of confi- dence.
 Moreover, he has color. watch- ing him fight is e joy, He steps inGo the ring, grins at the crowd. once the fight starts O'Dooley is q punching hot-headed fighter. When it's all over he Is once again a happy, sincere boy, mighty glad he won.
 The Pastor bout should answer the question of whether he is too inexperienced to meet top-notch fighters yet. If he can catch the fast-moving Pastor and use that powerful right, he may be ready. If Pastor decisions him by his speed and boxing skill, ODooley will go in for more seasoning.
 He wishes Joe Louis would stay In the heavyweight picture,
 I'd Just like to paste him with good right and see what hap pens," O'Dooley says.

In our youth we were Ccner-
ally thinking of Miss Lillian
Russell. We carried a little
photo of her that came with a
pack of cigarets. In later years
we saw Miss Russell in person.
and she had apparently fatted
up to some extent from her
earlier days, and that destroyed
our love.
More recently we had been
giving consideration to the de-
STABILITY of Miss Greta Carlo
as company on desert island.
but we discovered that she lives
on carrots and wants TO spend
her time on desert island rails
ing carrots.
WE ASKED Mr. Walter Win
w chell. the columnist. if he
had ever had similar thoughts
of the most desirable company
on a desert island and he adj
mitted he had. He said his
dream in that respect as a
youth was Miss Anna Held, who
was popularity supposed 10 take
milk baths.
Mr.. Winchell said for years
he kept thinking of her in those
milk baths. but when he got
older he dismissed her from his
mind because he realized he
would have had a tough time
paying the milkman, even had
his dream come true.
Anyway. boys. we think you
under-rate Mis- Hopkins, besides
being gratuitously unkind 10
her. which is not at all in keep
ing with the high traditions of
fair Harvard for good breeding
and gallantry.
Perhaps after. you have been
married awhile some of you will
be wondering, in the light OF
your companions on the desert
island of matrimony, how you
ever had the short-sightedness
to nominate an outsider as least
desirable company anywhere.
WE hope the circulation of the
w Lampoon is picking up and
that you continue TO edit with
that youthful exuberance char
acteristic of the last issue in
which you speak of Miss Hop
kins. Youth is a wonderful
thing. Was it George Bernard
Shaw who remarked that it is
a pity it is wasted on youth?
Cordially,
d. r..
p. S. You dig up that picture
we mention. You may want TO
apologize to Miss Hopkins after
seeing it. Not bad. boys. Not
bad.
