Mox's Right Menace
If Foe Should Try
To Slug 1t Out
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Inasmuch
as the grudge angle is the Oldest
form of fistic drum -breating known
to man, it comes as no surprise to
learn Lou Nova is carrying a strong
mental hot-foot for Max Baer in
their 12-round bout tomorrow night
in Madison Square Garden.
But this one is different, said
Nova'S manager, Ray Carlen, today.
Ray is a quiet guy who almost lost
his card in the Managers Union
and Benevolent Society because he
couldn't even holler as loud as the
fellows plotting fyweights. He
points out that the reason this
grudge is different is because he
doesn't like it, even a little bit.
He's a little afraid that mixing
this current dislike with LOUIS hot
headedness may cause the whole
thing to backfire right in Novas
lovely features.
Max Claims He Stopped Lou.
No word of Nova's grudge has
come from Promoter Mike Jacobs
high-powered public relations eX-
perts, so you have TO take Carlens
word for it that it dates back some
l6 months. At that time Lou,
beaten by Tony Galento and laid
low by a little bug that did things
to his blood stream, was bedded IN
a California hospital. Max came IN
to visit him one afternoon and
"tSk- -tSk-ed" all over the place.
AfterWard, says Ray, the eX-klng OF
the playboys headed right for the
nearest sports editors desk.
TOO bad about that Nova" ne
mourned. "A nice kid and good to
mis- folks But there he is. Hen
never fight again. And to think I
did that to him"
Sympathy Irks Nova.
To a questioning look, Max hur-
ried to explain that in their first
fight. back in 1899, the punches he
hit Nova in the early rounds caused
LOUIS illness. He didn't explain
what happened to cause Nova to
stop him in the 18th round that
night.
Ever since Nova read about Baer's
sympathy the California colleglan
has been seeing red whenever the
name of the madcap mauler is even
thought of in his presence.
But in that frame of mind Lou
is likely to walk right out fiat.
footed and slug with Max. And
whatever else you say about the
gaudy. if not neat, Mr.. Baer, you
must admit that no one is better
than l to 2 to stand up and trade
wallop for wallop with him when
he's swinging that right hand.

when the plant apparently rests
while the baby blossoms are being
formed. Finally. there is great &C

of the flower and seed, though today
the "heady" cabbage has added a
fourth period, that of head forma-
ton. This period is essential to the
plants value as cultivated vege-
table for man but does not enhance
the prosperity Of the cabbage to
itself, since maturing seeds for fu-
ture generations of cabbage is the
goal. This can be accomplished
whether loose or hard headed.
Since early times the cabbage has
been climbing socially. Time was
when corned beef and cabbage could
not be found on the tables of the
wealthy, but now the demand for
this fine old-timer comes from every
where. It is mentioned on menus as
New England boiled dinner" at q
price that would astonish our pio-
neer fathers, but it is eagerly Or

Growing cabbage is an art. Cool
climates appeal to this hardy vege-
table, its only weak point being that
it is allergic to hot, dry winds. 1t
would seem that the cabbage pros
