BY SPARROW McGANN. OMPTON LAKES, N. J., August 7—Joe Louis is the same unhurried, unworried, phleg=- matic person he was befors | he became heavyweight champion of the world. If Joe realizes he is ruler of the fistic roost, he gives no indi- cation of it outside the ring. Inside the Topes with awed spar mates, the Brown Bomber is something else again Every move indicates he is over the | sense-deadening blows he suffered | at the hands of Max Schmeling and | now is out to prove that he is a real champion. He is, in fact, the first heavyweight champion in history to | | place his title in jeopardy so soon after acquiring it. When he enters | the ring against Tommy Farr, exactly | two months and four days will have expired since he defeated Jim Brad- dock Louis does not purposely when chances against | pandy, Wales Farr is “just expressed by Black. effect unconcern asked about his the pride of Tony- To Joe's simple mind, another fighter” as | his manager, Julian Gains Little Weight. OUIS does go on record, however with the statement that he ex- pected his September opponent would be Max Schmeling. He bears out this belief by the fact that he has taken on but 9 pounds since de- | throning Jim Braddock and needs but three weeks to prepare for the Farr engagement, Knowing his | appetite for fried chicken and long hours of matress-duty, one would expect Louis to be hovering closer | to the 220-pound mark. Denying | himself these pleasures can mean only Louis holds his newly won honors in | high regard and wants nothing more than to erase the blot Schmeling tattooed on his record Louis is no different in training than he was preparing for the Schmel- ing and Braddock contests. He is the same easy-going laggard who caused many to think he was fed up with the game and did mot care particu- larly about the ability of his foes. Apprised that Farr fights out of the | crouch and stiff-arms his opponent | | with a left jab, Louis is concentrating his workouts along the same style he employed for Braddock Louis paws lightly with his left and then | | goes into the crouch waiting for a | lead. This effected, he slides off | | slightly to his right and hits to the body with a left hook. His spar mates have been unable to block this | blow. Careful With Body Blows. OUIS has done little body punch ing since a clean shot to the body | of Max Schmeling caused the German | to turn to the referee in protest. The Bomber does not like to lose fights | the “easy” way and has been careful | p to keep them up. Unless Farr stands | { up for a time while they are in action, ’R there is little likelihood | will direct any blows to the | His instructions are to fight manner less likely to leave any as to his superiority Farr has been more impressive in his workouts than the champion. This can be accounted for by the fact that | the British champion must “sell” him- | self to the public, while Louis must of necesity go easy with his work since | he had long preparation for the Brad- | dock fight, six hard rounds under his belt and the fact that he is meeting | up with a man who was floored three times by a light puncher like Bob Olin. | Louis is in no hurry to step up the | pace. He is in shape right now ot | do his best on 24 hours' notice. Why | then leave his fight in the training camp? that Louis in a| doubt | . | BIG DAY FOR HURLERS One Goes 20 Innings, Another Hits TOPEKA, Kans.

His Holiness' favorite opponent was Father Guila, with whom he was accustomed to, play when he was Cardinal Pecci. Upon being raised to the pontifical throne, he summoned Father Guila and gave Lim apartments in the Vat- ican. Father Guila was said to com- bine rare mastery of the game together with an irascible tem- per. Often during a game with His Holi~ ness he would burst into an un- governable fit of rage.
