JOE LOUIS By DILLON GRAHAM Sperts Editor, AP Feature Service GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 25.—Joe Louis sat on the rubbing table, his light tan body as streamlined as a sleek tiger’s, his bare feet swinging slowly just above the floor. “That Nova,” he said, “is a good tough boy.” Then, as an after thought: “But 1" don’t think he'll last as long as Conn did.” The heavyweight champion had just finished a four-round training camp sparring session and he had that. good tired feeling, just encugh exercise to give his biz body a satisfying but not exhaus- tive workout. Occasionally, he wiped away the little Leads of perspiration that kept appearing on his face. His trainer, lean, wise, shrewd Jack Bldckburn, stood behind the champ, fanning him with a large towel. “Necva, he don’t move around as fast as Conn,” Joe ex- plained | “He’s easier to hit.

He. says he knew Max was too tired to follow it up. Blackburn chuckled. “Ha,” he said, “That’s what they all say. But when Joe clips 'em they's too stunned to move. Yeah, when Joe staggers him he’ll pol- ish him off.” Did Billy Conn have you groggy in that 12th, Joe? “No,” Louis answered. “Joe didn't draw a heavy breath in that fight,” Blackburn added. “Maybe Conn outpointed me in that 12th, but that was the round that beat him,” Joe said. “He was getting confi- dent and coming in wide open. I knew I'd get him the next round.” “Yeah,” 'Blackburn said, nod- ding. “Joe told ‘me at the start of the 13th, ‘I'll get him this round.’” Well, Joe you looked as though you were tired or groggy or some- thing. Were you faking? Joe grinned. “Don’t guess I was fakin’. Guess | toughest “That big Abe was game and he| 'aho' could take a punch.

He's Arthur Fletcher, kee coach. Babe Ruth, Al Simmons and the late Lou Gehrig banked plenty of moo from their shares of the win- ning-team’s swag in the fall classic but none of them endorsed as many checks as Fletcher.

On October 1 when the McCar- thymen tackle the National Leag- uers in Yankee Stadium Fletcher will begin earning his 12th post- season bonus. Fletcher broke in with the Gi- ants as a shortstop in 1909, was traded to Philadelphia in 1920 for Dave Bancroft and managed the Phillies . from 1923 to 1926, He came to the Yanks in 1927. Art is known as one of the :martest third base coaches in paseball, And that’s a tough spot, for many games are won or lost because of an overcautious or too- daring signaler to speedy base- runners. Fletcher is also known as just about the roughest riding jockey in the American League. Many Yankee rivals have had their poise and confidence jolted by his loud gibes. Many baseball men figure Flet- cher has been shrewd in refusing managerial offers in the last de- :ade. Only two years after he be- :ame Yankee coach, Manager Mil- er Huggins died and Fletcher wus in line for the job. He turned it Jown because he reasoned that the man who succeeded Huggins wouldn’t last, that he would con- stantly be compared to Hug. Bob Shawkey took the job but next season Joe McCarthy was hired Art has reportedly refused other nead man jobs. He is content te remain a No. FAIR OPENS TOMORROW Exhibiors Asked fo Get ~Displays in Not Later than Noon Friday The Southeast Alaska fair for 11941 will open the doors tomorrow |afternoon and all exhibitors are |asked to have their displays in by noon tomorrow.

The conservation of hides brought in by local hunters was discussed last night at the regular monthly meeting of the American Women's Voluntary Services. The hides have a high value to the Indian moccasin workers and can readily be used by the chil- dren in the native schools in Ju- neau and Douglas, it was pointed out. .The. organization asks that hunters prevent the waste of this valuable material by turning it over to the AWVS. Hunters having skins to dispose of are asked to call Mrs. Pete Hammer, who is in charge of col- lecting the hides. - e - — TO VISIT SITKA B. P. Kane and A.
