NEW YORK, June Tuesday night, some 70,000 from all parts of these United States will move on the stadium, hard in tne to watch Joe a negro from Detroit, have go at Primo Italy's man mountain. No title will be at stake -when they square off under the floodlights and in a ring pitched high over second base, but the fight has so many vivid holds such promise of developing into a pier 6, North brawl, it is almost certain to double (both in attendance and profits) the recent championship engagement between Jimmy Braddock and Max Baer.

Most of the enthusiasm is due to Louis rand the grandiose 'manner in which his has been ballyhooed.

Tonelo to Wlllard. Louis' press agents, as well as seasoned reporters, hard-bitten managers, fighters (old, young and of all colors) and casual observers, have gone overboard on his skill and power. To some he is a. combination of all the deadly animals that stalk the jungle, with the tiger and panther getting most ot the play. To others he is not an animal at all, but a human arsenal, concealing in his hands the mercilessness of a Browning machine gun, the power of a trech mbrt'ar and the scope of anti-aircraft.

Gardnerville vs.

Virginia. Yerington vs. Verdi. Sons of Italy vs. Sparks.

The tie for top spot in the A division between Smith Valley and Qftrdnerville may be blasted today when both teams go up against 'strong outfits. Smith Valley will play Carson City at the state capital and should come out on top in view of the weak hurling staff, of Carson. The capital lads make up for this by a nice fielding and batting aggregation and may bottle up Smith's hits. Oardnerville's tangle with the Comstockers should be the game of the day. The two teams have always been rivals and Virginia can be counted upon for plenty of action, muckers have won four games.out of six and in view of their 'infrequent practice sessions it is evident that they have a powerful outfit.

The Douglas team is counting on its strong tatting array to get at ths deliveries of Lou Blake who may fool them with his fire ball. Verdi is right the heels of the two leaders having lost the same number of games but having played one less. A win over Yerington will rank the hillsiders as definitely a contender for the league title. Yerington has a nice team which has won three and lost three. It hopes to boost its standing wtih a win today.

Ohio State, the "champion of champions" won four first places against tin? best athletes in American colleges. Owens Is Star The Trojans' feat in piling up 70 and 1-30 points in a tremendous display of team power wa.s impressive but it was Owens, the boy who in one afternoon this spring bettered three world marks, who caught the imagination and won the appluuxn of a crowd of 20.000 in the University of California track stadium.

"He can't do it no man can." the cry when Coach Larry Snydcr sent his sophmore stnr after four individual championships. But the tall Negro with the ICRS like sturdy young oak trees did it and in a manner which left no doubt that he is America's greatest trad: athlete, the "easiest and iurihercsi human." Falls In Broad Jump And when his day's work wa.s done, the amazing "black comet' went back to the broad jumping pit and took the two trial leaps lie passed up yesterday. He was after a world's record but even legs and speed like Jesse's weren't equal to the task and he fell short of the mark lie mado in two trials yesterday, a leap of 26 feet a inches, in itself three-quarters of an inch below the world's standard. Records Set Owen's broad jump performance set a new NCAA standard, breaking a record set ten years ago by another great Negro performer, Dehart Hubbard of Michigan. Two other marks fell during the 1935 meet, when Charles Gongloff of Pittsburgh tossed the javelin 221 fee; 3U inches and when Earle Meadows and Bill Sefton, University of Southern California's pole vaulting twins.
