IN THE REALM OF ...SPOR T S... Joe Louis Goes To < Watch Golden Gloves Detroit, Mich., Feb. 19—Joe Louis is getting fat and likes it. The young Negro heavy weight. here to visit his mother and attend the Detroit Golden Gloves boxing tournament, said Wednesday he is enjoying his vacation from the ring by “just catching up on my chicken eat ing”. “I’m six or seven pounds over my fighting weight right now,” Louis said. “I want to be about 215 pounds when I start train ing April 15 for my fight some time next June with Max Schmeling. ’ ’ Louis, announcing he will train near Bangor, Me., said he is adding to weight intention ally. lie anticipates no trouble taking off the excess poundage. “I’m doing nothing much right, now but eating and sleep ing’,* he said. “The rest won’t do me any harm, and once I start training I won’t have any trouble getting my timing and footwork right again. Joe said he couldn’t resist attending the Golden Gloves show, the: kind in which he got hia start in 1933. The following year he won the national ama teur title. Then he started aj professional career in which the! score now stands, 27 fights, 23 knockouts, four decisions, all in Joe's favor. — World Hernl HE WHIPPED TWO MEN IN SAME NIGHT Jn these days of boxers who fight only when the century plant is in bloom, this yam about Oscar Ran kin, the red-hcaded sepia middle weight title contender seems like a fairy tale to be classed with gaso line at 10 cents a gallon and eggs at a nickel a dozen. I merely quote Larry Morrison, Rankin’s manager who swears his boy fought two men in two feature bouts in the same ring on the same night. As the story goes, a few months ago in Detroit, Rankin was to show his stuff on a card featuring four 10 rounders The Californian stop ped his white opponent, Manuel Vittorio, in the initial frame and was in his dressing room taking a shower when the promoter came and asked him to go on. in the fi nal bout. He was to substitute for Tom Patrick, who had been booked but who failed to arrive. Rankin's opponent was Leo Kel ley,, 175 pound deacon of a cullud church in Detroit, who was found attending services and hustled to the arena where he agreed to meet his lighter foe. Rankin gave away ten pounds and won what Morris son swears was a sizzling decis ion. J don’t vouch for this. The tale has merely started going around and round and it comes out here.

Printed in the upper corner of the envelope in bold, black type is the following: “Reward $10,000 for any promoter who can deliver Joe Louis’ body, alive in a 24-foot ring for Lorenzo Pack’s.” Heywood Storey, the "Black Shadow” whom you niay remem ber as Golden Gloves and national amateur champion of the welter weights, back in 1930-1931, is thinking of retiring at 26 from professional middleweight ranks. IHe’s tied up with a manager who hasn’t got him a fight in a year. If Storey can’t break the contract, he’ll quit Wonder what Joe Lillard thinks of the ousting of Doc Spears from the Wisconsn U- coaching job. If memory serves me right, Lillard went with Spear to Oregon a few years ago to play football—and Joe was so good they practically wrecked the entire Pacific coast conference, to throw in charges of professionalism and got Lillard out of college football Poland’s Anti Semitic Drive, Nazi Style; — Spreading from the Corridor and other districts bordering on Ger- j many, a nation-wide terror against Jews is raging in Poland- Inflanv-1 matory anti-Semctic literature printed in Germany, is smuggled j into Poland and the Jew-baiting newspaper Warta 1s being sold on' the streets by Polish Nasi Party members wearing swastika arm bands. Anti-Jewish outbreaks in the universities and secondary schools are frequent and violent. In the Universities of Warsaw and Posen, “ghetto" classes have been established and Jewish students are frequently! beaten. In the Pol ytechnic School at Lwow, a Jewish , student died as a result of a beat ing received in a school riot- In the Polish Y.MO A.’s, the -introduc-1 tion of an official “Aryan Para graph,” prohibits Jews from enter ing or using the club rooms, or recreation halls, etc., and no Jew is allowed to participate in, any of the organization’s activities. In the market places Jewish tradespeople are terrorized and robbed; and in Przytik and in the vicinity of Lodz (hearquarters of the Polish Nazi Party) an active campaign is being carried on to make it almost impossible for Jews to obtain food and other nec essities. Throughout Poland, Jew ish homes, synagogues and stores have been bombed and set on fire, and an increasingly large num ber of Jewish shops have been forced to close because of boy cotts, plundering raids and open terror.
