NEW YORK, Sept. 16 - (P) ~
There is nothing wrong with Joe
Louis appetite in OF out of the
ring, so the general impression
around and about Monday was
that he would gobble up Tami
Mauriello in something like five
minutes after the Bronx Bar
keeper is served up to him in
Yankee Stadium Wednesday night.
About the best that the Bash
Boulevardiers were saying for
the uptown round man Monday,
as the two thumpers wound up
their training chores, was that
while it lasts Tamil would make a
hot 1--WE session out Of it, some
thing like Two-Ton Tony Galento
did the night the beer barrel who
walks waded in and came about
as close as beer and pretzels from
%dethroning the Bomber back ir
1889.
Aside from that, and Mauriello's
own proclamation that he wouldn't
freeze up" when he says howdy
to Joe because he has just as
many arms and fists as the Bomb.
er, no one was holding out much
hope that Tami would be around
long enough to read a short short
story - even if he wanted to. The
boys and girls around the ear.
scrambling industry were count
ing this one in minutes instead OF
rounds - of which there are the
usual IS scheduled.
Jacob "Feels No Pain"
Promoter Mike Jacobs took a
late look at the box office and
felt no pain at all. If the sale keeps
going at its surrent rate, he
forecast, some 10000 customers
will parade into the Bronx ball
yard "Wednesday night for the
$3.50 p. m. (EDT) post-time - the
main bout goes off at 10 p. m. -
and they'll chip in to a gate with
in shouting distance of $500, 900.
Which is quite a shout, at that,
for this one.
The few folks who still gave
Tami a chance to wreck Louis
reign in this 23rd defense of the
longest heavyweight run in history

With their regulars on hand
again, plus an added slugger in
Johnny Edens, the Wilmington
Fire Department rolled up the
worst defeat in recent years in
local softball by trouncing the
weak Senior Fraternity club, %
to l, last night in the first contest
of a doubleheader. Sunshine Laun-
dry lost their second straight
game in the nightcap to City
Optical, 8 to 4.
Ken Raynor took the hitting spot
light last night, slamming out three
hits for five times at bat of which
two were home runs. "Poopy"
Sandlin also contributed largely to
the slaughtering as the big first
sacker knocked out three singles
in four appearances at the plate.
Clyde Jordan, on the rubber eor
the smokeaters, struck two and
walked nine. The lone run off him
came in the fifth inning, when
Hobbs knocked in Lebriglio with a
sharp single. The power laden
lineup for the Firemen was as
follows: Raynor, SIS, Smith, CT;
Sandlin lib; Edens, 3b; Jordan, p;
Ship, rf; Kaylor, L; Herring, 2b;
J. Casteen, C.
Bob Poovey handed Sunshine
Laundry their setback in the second
tussle which saw Ralph Horton,
his battery mate, lead City Optical
to victory. Horton smacked a
triple and single in three times

while Ed Stevens was rolling into
a double play but that was all.
Although touched for a double
by Lowrey in the sixth, MINER
skirted disaster until the seventh
when the bubble broke, Largely
through his own fault. In a tough
spot for a fellow who had never
pitched any place except class D
before this season, Minner walked
Johnny Ostrowski, leading off the
seventh. When Rickert hunted to
the box, he hesitated and finally
pegged wide to first for an error.
Mccullough dumped a pop fly into
short left center that caught the
Brook defense mapping, the ball
falling between Reese and Furillo
for a single that loaded the bases.
Nicholson promptly took car of
that on a 80 pitch, ~hammering a
fast ball over the screen in right
field near the cor board. 1t was
his eighth home run of the season.

WASHINGTON. D. C.--Dr. f. D.
Patterson. president Of Tuskegee

American Red Cross Chairman Bas-
il O'Connor to an advisory commit
tee of n to study the structure Of
the organization.
Since Congress granted the Red
Cross its charter in 1906" Mr..
O'Connor said, there has been no
attempt to bring the Charter and
BYLAWS and corporate structure
into line with the present-day activ-
tiles and operations OF Red Cross.
For example, in 1905 the American
National Red Cross had no chap
ters; today, there are 1854 chapters
and 5578 branches, and yet there is
no clear definition Of the place or
function of these units in the total
organizational structure Of the
American National Red Cross. Such
a condition cannot be permitted to
continue.
