Louis al 220 Pounds
|sAhead Of Schedule
BY the Associofed Press

BLOOMINGDALE, Mich, May IA
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
had another birthday anniversary
his 34th-behind him today and
although the years are piling up on
the Brown Bomber the pounds are
dropping off as he prepares for his
June % rematch with Jersey Joe
Walcott in Yankee Stadium.
Trainer Mamie Seamon took the
occasion of Louis birthday to report
that a month of light training at
the farm of Detroit friend on the
shorts of Bear Lake had Joe's con-
ditioning program running two
pounds" ahead of schedule.
When Louis arrived here in early
April following his European ap-
perances he was bulging at 225
pounds with the accumulated over
weight" of nearly four months of
virtual inaction.
Seamon's timetable, aiming at 2l5
for the second Walcott battle, called
for Joe to shed three pounds here
on a diet of rest" tapering off into
light roadwork, saving and wood
chopping Thus the champ would
have seven more pounds to lose
after he gets into the heavy part of
his training routine next week at
Pompton Lakes, N. j.
But Seamon said today the
Bomber already was down to 220,
q fact that simplifies the reducing
schedule. Joe leaves here for his
Pompton Lakes base next Monday
morning.

Jack Sharpening BoIo WoIIop
In Drills for Joniro Battle

Beau Jack Is paying lot Of at
tention to his bolo punch while
training for his Griffith Stadium
fight Monday night against Tony
Janiro. His lethal version of the
uppercut always has been favorite
weapon Of the former lightweight
champ, and right now he seems to
be controlling it better than ever.
He practices it constantly, putting a
lot of steam behind it against the
light and heavy bags and his SPAR
ring partner at Liberty A. G. gym.
It worked fairly well against
Floyd Morris In Jacks sparring ses-
sion yesterday, but the exhibition
couldn't compare with Beau's per-
formance in beating Johnny Greco
in Montreal last month, according
to his Manager Chick Wergeles.
You had to see 1t to believe it,"
reports Chick, but he never missed
I tell you he tossed it 10 times in
the first round, and 10 times 1t went
right through Greco's hands and
onto his chin. After that we owned
the guy. That bolo is nice when it
hits, but sometimes you land only
one out Of 20.
Janiro also went through a snap
py workout in the heat of Liberty

Hopkins Team Choie'
As Big Field Starts
|Mason-Dixon Meet

Johns Hopkins was the choice to
win the Mason-Dixon Conference
track crown in the two-day title
meet opening today at Catholic Uni
versity. Dopesters figured Coach
Howdy Myers Blue Jays would roll
up IS points to approximately 40 for
Catholic u, defending champion,
and 80 for Randolph-Macon Start
ing time each day will be 2 pm.
Onacials agreed, however, that an
upset was possible with three Of the
colleges competing for the first time.
A record entry list, plus good times
registered In dual competition this
spring indicated the meet would be
the best In conference history.
Hopkins seems to have at least
one event, the shot put, clinched,
with three outstanding performers
in Lassahn, Hersch and Andre, and
Lassahn also will have q try at the
discus crown. Sal Console OF G. u,
defending champion. has fallen of
since the early meets when he dis
played good form and it is doubtful
if he can keep the title. Bodkin,
Bridgewater star who won the
Little Six" discus throw last week
with heave Of 1913 feet. 81 inches,
and Scrivener of Randolph-Macon
are expected to make strong bids
for the crown.
Randolnh.Macon also NAV Dro.

who tossed the spear 179 feet 10A
inches last week. Angelo Pastori
of Catholic U. was coming along
nicely and seemed to be a threat
until he threw his shoulder out in
practice earlier this week. Pastori
will compete, but will not be at
his best. Dennis of Galludet and
Shaw of American are dark horses
who could explode with a winning
throw at any time.
Unusual interest in the sprint
events in which AL Nencioni of
u, Len Chewing OF
Hampden-Sydney, Eddie Fagg OF
Roanoke and John Rudd of c. U.
are the top men is being displayed
this year and both dashes will be
hotly contested.

New Theatre Owner
Remodelling
Leon Rountree Buys
Strund And Stur;
w. L. Upchurch, Mgr.

Large-scale improvements are
planned for the theatre building OF
Lexington under their new owner,
Leon Rountree, of Holly Springs,
and Water Valley. In a statement
this week, Mr.. Rountree announces
plans to remodel completely both
exterior and interior of the Star
theatre, the name of which will be
changed to Centre theatre.
Lesser, though adequate, repairs
are to be made to the Strand, with
plans for cleaning, painting, and
generally repairing the theatre and
adding a new screen.
The Star (Centre) will have
modern, new projection, with in
creased seating capacity, larger
screen, complete concession coun-
ter, and lounges. All top pictures OF
the well-known movie companies
will be shown. Through local movie
goers' support, the securing of better
pictures will be enabled, the new
owner said. The same staff will ope-
IdtC tilC ilOVAC-iAOAoSct WIZ
Upchurch continuing as manager.
The new owner is a u. s. Army,
infantry, veteran, of two and one
half years service. He is a native
Of Augusta, Ca, where his mother,
Mrs. Gladys Rountree, still lives. He
is a graduate of the University OF
Georgia, and attended Mississippi
State college in 1943-44. A member

he has been engaged in the theatre
business since before the War.
In l941 Mr.. Rountree bought a
theatre in Holly Springs, which he
has operated since. Upon separation
from the service, he bought a
theatre in Water Valley, which he
remodelled, and still operates.
Since that time, he has bought and
modernized another theatre.
The name of the Strand in Lex
ington will remain the same. Re-
novations are being started this
week.
