<N THE REALM OF ...SPORTS... Loughran Raises Broken Hand Issue In Baer-Louis Fight Doubts If Louis Gould Have Beaten Baer At His Best. London, England, Nov. 30, (ANP)—The ghost of the Max Baer-Joe Louis fight at New York in September was taken for a public walk this week when Tommy Loughran, former light heavyweight champion and danc ing master of the ring in England now to take on the local crop of tfst fodder, spoke for public print on the “real” story of the rise and fall of the Livermore Larruper. According to Loughran, Baer was still bothered with those egg shell hands when he tackled the Detroit Destroyer. Tomimy swears this is so, despite examinations by disinterested physicians prior to the bout who declared Max’s fists were as fit as they would ever be The American says in juries sustained by the Californ ian prior to the Braddock battle had never healed roo rroua to leu “Before the Braddock fight, Max confided in me he had broken his hands while training,” Lough ran asserted. “He was so cock sure of himself, however, that he would not tell the public. He was going on with the fight confident he had nothing to beat. J sug gested that he postpone the fight until his hands healed. Max act ually tried to do this. But he was persuaded to go through with the fight to schedule. “Against Joe Louis Max was still bothered with his fists. He simply couldn’t put up a fight. He told me after the Braddock bout he would not fight again for a year. That would have given him time to get his hands fit and hardened. “I doubt if Louis would have beaten Baer at his best.” Lauds Brown Bomber “I saw Louis topple Camera. ‘IHe’s a great fighter as Is the Detroit Bomber. What I like about hirr< so much is he’s a na tural fighter. Everything come easily to him. He looks the part. He covers very quickly and easily. No movement is wasted. And he punches very hard. “Joe Louis is the kingpin of the lot. That mi|eh is just about .certain. I can’t see any of the others back there to touch him.” Golden Glover Seeks Heavies In Middlewest Otis Thomas, Golden Gloves Chicago heavyweight king who] turned pro a few months ago, [ is expecting bouts in St. Louis and Detroit this week. Larry ! Arnadee, former boxer and at present assistant trainer of Joe Louis, is due in the Brown Bomb er’s training camp at Pompton Lakes, N. J., this Friday. SPORTS CHATTER ON PACIFIC COAST By Byron “Speed” Reilly (For ANP) San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 30.— John Henry Lewis, new light heavyweight champion of the world will fulfill the contract that j will send him against an out standing opponent in this city at Dreamland auditoriurry shortly. Lewis was signed for a fight by manager Gus Greenlee just be fore the pair left for New York to meet Abe Feldman at Coney Island. Promoter Palazola in sisted that John Henry return and go through with the bout and when he failed to do so, Lewis was suspended by the California commission, which takes in Chi cago and New York. The local promoter was consulted before the ! title match was signed and agreed to waive his prior contract if the ring star returned to t h e coast, win, lose or draw. The same pro cedure was used in the case of the New York Garden, who held a contract on the ex-champ, Rob Olin. However, there may be some conflict, as both organizations want to use the same foe against Lewis, — his recent conqueror, Feldman. Lewis has wired that he Is returning for the catch in I December, but having an open date on November 27, the Dream land head hopes to stage the bout on that date. “Tiger” Jack Fox, who holds Maxie Rosen bloom even and shellacked him in his last two starts, arrived here last week looking for work. With his two mentors, Lonnie Austin and Hal Morris, hurling defies to any 175 pounder or heavyweight on the coast, Fox is training daily and ready to step in the ring at a minute’s notice. Fox is a much improved fighter since h i s last appearance here, when he lost to Red Barry. The “Tiger’s” stable mate, Bob Milsap, is also having no little trouble finding oppon ents. Wirt Ross and his two Pacific Coast champions, Young Peter Jackson and Henry Armstrong, ar rived in Oakland last week. Jack son, king of the 135-pounders, shellacked Gaston LeCadre, French champ in his last Oakland start, while Armstrong, head man in the California featherweights, faces Leo Lomelli, Mexican star, in an 8-round match on the East Bay Club show at the Oakland auditorium. Billy Newman, manager of Leo (KO) Kelly, arrived here from Australia Monday—alone. With Newman was supposed to have been his hard hitting colored light heavyweight, but I learned that the promoters made Kelly such tempting offers to stay, that he remained to accept four bouts at a $1,000 per bout. Clippings from the Anipode country show that the colored Deacon-boxer is one of the most popular boxers to ever visit that country and they are still talking of his great bout with Ambrose Palmer, light and heavyweight champion, now in England. DIXIE DOPE By “Melancholy” Jones (For ANP) Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30, (ANP)— Scoring for the year’s greatest upset in SIAA football circles, the Fla. A. & M. college “Rattlers” eked out the vaunted Tuskegee Institute Tigers recently at Tal lahassee, Fla., in a bitter contest that was not decided until the last few seconds when Williams, Fam cee fullback, placed a beautiful placement kick through the up rights for a 3-to-0 victory. In many ways, Williams’ “ninth in ning” boot was a duplicate of the Frank Merriwell kick from the field that wrecked Howard Uni versity 9-to-6 in 1933 in Famcee’s first “Orange Blossom Festival” classic. Oddly enough, this same young naan’s toe decided the 13 to-12 victory by Famcee over Vir ginia State in last year’s classic at Tallahassee. This December, Famcee will play Kentucky State in the Orange Blossom carnival. Upsets, apparently, were the order of the day last Saturday, Clark University pulling what was believed the impossible by nosing out a formidable, highly favored South Carolina State eleven, 2-to-0. Carl Ray, Louis ville, Ky., youth and All-Ameri can prospect for ’35, blocked Sol Johnson’s punt which the Caro lina triple-threater recovered be hind his own goal line, only to be nailed by Langford and James, Clark University guard and cent er, and that gave the South At lantans their margin of victory.

THINGS THEATRICAL (By Franklyn Frank) (For ANP) Music Hath Charms: Twelve Negro jazz men started improvising Sweet pagan tunes that soothed my anxious ears. My woes were gone—the jazz was hypnotizing, For I was lulled to lands that knows no tears. With soft wierd melodies the jazz men told Of voodoo, jungle wiles, barbaric arts. And in their fierce refrains could I behold A land of tom-toms, brutes and poisoned darts. A jungle instinct surged within my soul, Made me a pagan in this civil city. I was a savage like the slavers stole, The crude black heathen civilized men pity. My kinsmen’s music woes me to a state That bids me cease to ponder doom or fate. James E. Alsbrook Kansas City, Kansas Don Redman Doesn’t Want To Compose Don Redman, the rnckle beer size orchestra leader, who has just brought his touring troups to New York after setting attend ance records in St. Louis, would much rather arrange other peo ple’s good tunes than compose one of his own. This in spite of the success and popularity of such pieces as “Chant of the Weeds”, “How'm I Doin’,” “I Heard,” and “Nagasaki." “This composing is purely in spirational, whereas I like work ing things out,” the band man confesses. “Take ‘Chant of the Weeds’ for instance. I woke up one morning with that whole thing in m|y mind; I didn’t have to work out a thing; there it all was. I wrote it down quickly, and by one o’clock the band was rehears ing1 it. ilt didn’t catch on with the public for a long time, but I didn’t care, and then, when it did catch on, the strange thing is that I still didn’t care. “But when I arrange tunes for Paul Whiteman and other big name bands, as well as for my own, they have to compete with other people’s arrangements of the same tune, and that’s what I call interesting work.” Don also tooted his sax in sev eral Duke Ellington recordings in case you didn’t know. He played USE __ WE 3043 _ i n “Georgia Grind,” “East St Louis Toodle-oo” and “Jubilee Stomp.” He also arranged “Sen sation” for Paul Whiteman, which several years ago Edgar Jackson mentioned as a step forward in orchestral arrangements. Paul had been after Don for sev eral years to collaborate with Fer di'e Grofe on a suite depicting the history of the Negro jazz band. Don says that some day they will do it, but thus far he hasn’t been so anxious. Just a case of hating I to compose.
