a break in more ways than one

Army Life Is Improving
Louis, Nicholson States

is part of the six-man troupe that
reached London with Louis today
for morale building tour of U. S.
service camps in the British Isles.
They reached Britain Saturday.
In pre-war days, Nicholson was
a regular spar-mate in the cham
pion's training camps and has
fought thousands of rounds with
Louis. In addition, he has Just fin
ished a tour of 118 army camps
in the United States where he and
Joe entertained troops with ring
exhibitions.
Right now Joe is moving better
than ever" insisted Nicholson, who
also is a sergeant Nicholson said
he enjoyed the transatlantic trip
because it gave him few days
rest to heal the bumps picked up
in the U. S. jaunt.
Joe is getting cute now and
can move an opponent around and
spin him. I guess he is thinking
of Billy Command he is not 60
ing to let Billy outstep him the
next time they meet.
This next time" with the Pitts
burgh pretty boy who came with
in seven minutes of taking Louis
crown away from him in 194l is
the first item of business on Louis
calendar after the war.
During a press interview today,
during which Louis made a big
hit with British reporters. the
brown bomber said he did not plan
to meet Freddie Mills, holder of
the British Empire light-heavy-
weight crown, while here as had
been hoped by British sportsmen.
Louis, who weighed 215 pounds
today, said he thought the first
crack at his title belonged to Conn.
Since all titles are frozen for
the duration l think all positions
as leading challengers should be
frozen and Billy is No. l." Louis
concluded before hopping into the
ring for a tWo-minute show with
Tommy Ireland, 4S-year-old local
heavyweight.
The champ and Nicholson, who
has expanded to 230 pounds, then
followed with a two-round exhibit

CUBAN ACES NOT
AFTER u. S. GOLD
BY FRED L. STROLLER,

HAVANA, April 11.-tREAl-
though the majors and minors in
the States are sprinkled with Gu.
ban baseball talent, not all the is
lands diamond stars are after the
gold such jobs offer.
Take the case of Julio Moreno
pitching star for the amateur Cir.
culo Artesano club. Julio turned
down offers from the Washington
Senators and the New York Giants.
with big bonuses attached, because
he liked the glory and permanence
star attains in Cuba, and the
certainty that no outstanding play
er ever will lack a good-paying
job on the side.
Moreno probably would be a big
help to someone in the States this
year, or any other year. Last SUM-
day he pitched a shutout for his
team, striking out 81 batters in
nine innings, allowing four hits
and banging out a two-run homer
to win by 5 to 0. His 81 strike
outs broke the Cuban amateur and
professional record. Once before
he struck out II in nine innings,
and this season he has 80 strike
outs in SO innings. while winning
six and losing none.
Amateurs in Cuba rank along
with the professionals, so far as
play is concerned, and their draw
ing power is about the same. When
the Caribbean's amateur world Sc
ries was played here last year,
one doubleheader drew some 49,
