THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C-
Joe Louis and Billy Conn be after the
war is over and they are back at the
old trade?”
“O. K.," he said, "if they are not
held in the army too long. I under
stand Louis is up
around 230 pounds
now and Conn
weighs 210. But giv
en time I feel sure
that Louis can get
back to 210 or 212
pounds and that
Conn can make 190,
which would be a
more useful weight
in the heavyweight
group. Both have
been giving boxing
exhibitions at vari
ous camps, also acting as boxing
instructors now and then, and this
Should help to check any big slump
In form.
“Louis has always been a hard
-worker. Before entering army serv
ice his average road work was about
five miles a day. He isn't young in a
fighting way, but he isn’t too old.
He is still younger than Jim Cor
bett was in his famous comeback
against Jim Jeffries, younger than
Fitzsimmons was when he stopped
Corbett at Carsotf City.
“Conn will have little trouble get
ting down to 190 pounds. He can get
even lower. He is much younger
than Louis and is still short of his
prime. Conn at 185 or even 190
pounds can still be fast—and be a
much harder puncher. It is a sure
thing that the first defense Louis
makes of his title will be against
Conn. Each has had about the same
war handicap so far as ring train
ing is concerned.”
There are reports about that
Louis and Conn will be asked to
put on a war charity fight some
time later. This would be com
pletely unfair to Louis who has
already given war and navy re
lief two free contests.
Louis still owes the government
over $150,000 in the way of income
taxes and the problem he faces now
is paying this back. Even if he re
ceived $200,000 for his first fight
after the war he would be lucky
to keep $40,000 of this amount, with
new taxes piled on. It would take
fpur major fights to get him nearly
«ven. Washington could hardly af
ford to ask Louis tor another charity
show after throwing away nt least
$1,000,000 for the Red Cross or army
and navy relief by refusing to let
Army and Navy football teams meet
in Philadelphia or New York.
We still feel this insane switch to
Annapolis before some 10,000 spec
tators will be changed later on. We
3iave had some odd and bewildering
curves thrown at us from Washing
ton, but nothing quite as baffling as
the present location of the next
Army-Navy game.
Putting on Weight
It has been a matter ot 17 years
now since Gene Tunney and Jack
Dempsey met in their second battle
in Chicago. Since that date Tunney
has added 25 pounds and Dempsey
has packed on 20. They are both now
around the same weight at 210 or
212 units of displacement.
I have seen both recently and
the two of them look to be as
' physically fit as men of their age
can hope to be. Both are many
years older than Louis, and Louis
is many pounds heavier than
either.
Big Gate Promised
Mike Jacob's mouth begins to
water and his teeth make an extra
clatter when he thinks of the next
Louis-Conn collision.
If fought today or in the near
future, with over $25,000,000,-
000 in loose change floating
around, it would wreck all past
receipts by at least a million or
more. It might easily be a
$4,000,000 show if Mike could get
away with the prices he could
get, from $200 a seat on down.
This would be all right with the
government and the state, for
both would get plenty.
This may seem to be an extrava
gant estimate, but how many be
lieved a while back that the three
New York tracks would shove $400,-
000,000 through the mutuel windows
in 1944, with a similar amount pass
ing through the hands of the book
makers? This latter, of course, is a
guess. But the amount is still a
healthy hunk of change.
The surest bet on the calendar
after the war is that the Louis-Conn
party will be one of the biggest
sporting and financial shows ever
known.
Remember Gerhardt?
“The greatest natural athlete I
ever saw,” says Maj. Lou Beard,
“was a West Pointer by the name
of Charley Gerhardt. You may have
heard of him lately. He was the
major - general who first broke
through at Saint Lo in France.
“Gerhardt had played little base
ball when he came to West Point
but in a few months he was one of
the greatest infielders we ever had.
He had played no football at all, but
shoved into the quarterback spot, he
was an outstanding star.”
ONE OF THESE DAYS
MISSING: Schickelgruber, Adolf;
64, five feet 10; weighs 167; color:
extra white. Last seen with both
feet off ground looking for a secret
airport from which to take off to a
secret destination, but lacked secret
running shoes. Once known as
“Fuehrer" but now answers to the
name of “Fido."
Wears funny mustache, has wild
look in eyes, has passion for mi
crophone and might be found in
vicinity of amplifiers. Has illusions
of grandeur; labors under impres
sion lie is Napoleon Bonaparte and
always acts on hunches. Proof that
he has just acted on a hunch is
usually furnished by the fact he is
eating rugs.
Is pasty faced and suffers from
halitosis, double vision, battered
chins, dandruff, hardening of the
outlook, inflammation of the intelli
gence and bunions at base of spine
due to recent travel on his pos
terior.
m
Formerly had a swastika en
graved on left chest but recently had
it transferred elsewhere. Large
heads of Churchill, Stalin and Roose
velt tatooed on his right chest and
can’t understand how they got there.
Across his back is inscription:
“Available for paperhanging at old
rates.” Several scars on abdomen
due to Patton operation.
*
Three toes on right foot missing;
may have had them removed to con
ceal ancestry. All teeth missing
except one on lower jaw which
Axis failed to kick out through care
lessness. Limp gives him the ap
pearance of being crippled, but
is due to fact he has been walking
around in two left-footed shoes most
of life without knowing it.
♦
Is of highly nervous temperament;
subject to fits of violence at men
tion. of Yanks, RAF, etc., or rendi
tions of “The Last Time I Saw
Paris,” “Russian Lullaby” and
“God Save the King.”
This man is wanted for trying to
subjugate Europe, giving the planet

untold brutalities, being a general
nuisance and trying to make a
frankfurter, a loaf of pumpernickle
and a plate of saurkraut take the
place of Magna Charta, the Statue
of Liberty and the Ten Command
ments.
Is noisy, irrational and altogether
unpleasant. Boasted he would never
remove military uniform until he
had licked the world, but will
probably be found in a costume no
better than that of similar bums.
Can dance a jig but there is hardly
a chance he will care to now.
Is a vegetarian which explains
that cauliflower odor.

This man may be traveling with
others of his type, as many are

General Patton Up!
"Just chase the Heinies up a hill
And knock ’em down anotherl”—
That is the Patton recipe
To save a lot of bother;
Old “Blood and Guts” is in again—
No more a doghouse doggie—
He’s slugging Nazis all around.
And knocking Adolf groggy.
He isn’t any diplomat,
His manner isn’t tender;
He goes into a battle like
A wildman on a bender;
He’s fussy over leggings and
He can’t stand neckties shoddy;
But when he tackles Adolf—wowl
The cry is, “Where’s the body?”
He’s not the dinner-party type.
He says it not with flowers;
He gets so violent at times
They send him to the showers;
His manner is obstreperous.
His talk is even louder
But he can toss those overalls
In Mrs. Murphy’s chowder I
He’s not the soothing, restful sort,
His language could be finer;
He is an awful pal inside
A shop chock-full of “chiner”;
But he can pitch and field and hit—
The toughest spots he weathers—
So let us merely wink an eye
And watch the flying feathers I

O N THE telephone, from Bev
erly Hills to New York, the
voices of Amos ’n Andy had all
the warmth and friendliness that
have made their program a top-
notcher for 25years. They packed
a lot of information into that
five-minute interview. Their once-a-
week show is five times as much
work as the old daily one, said they
—they work on it at their office,
keeping hours like any other busi
ness men. Guest stars must be used
in believable situations—when Phi'
Baker appears with them next
month, there’ll really be a show
within a show. Incidentally you’ll
be able to see as well as hear them
when television comes; they have
their show practically perfected.

JESUS’ UNDERSTANDING
OF MAN
LESSON TEXT—Matthew
GOLDEN TEXT—And needed not that any
should testify of man: for he knew what was
la man.—John 2:23.
What is a man worth? That de
pends on your point of view. In a
museum stands a collection of small
jars containing minerals, water,
etc., which make up the body of a
man, and which are valued at less
than a dollar. But there is more to
man than his body.
And that “more”—intellectual and
spiritual—is what determines his
real value. Jesus understood (yes,
and now He understands) man, and
places a high valuation on him. That
is worth knowing in a world where
the price of humanity is often figured
on the basis of his usefulness in war
fare or the factory.
Jesus really understands man. He
knom his
l. Need (v. 9).
The first thing Jesus saw in the
synagogue was not the leaders, or
the beautifully appareled rich, or the
learned scribes. He saw a man with
a withered hand, one who needed
His help. The enemies of Chris*,
complimented Him by expecting
Him to see the crippled one—and
they “watched him” (Mark 3:2), for
it was the Sabbath.
Do we see the real need of human
ity? Does it speak to us and prompt
us to helpful action? If not, are we
like our Lord and Master?
n. Value (w. 10-12).
They who would not hesitate to
save a sheep in distress on the Sab
bath did not want the man to re
ceive help. Thus they put property
above the person of man, and
showed their low valuation of man.
The dignity of man’s personality,
the fact that he is made in the like
ness and image of God, the great
potentialities which exist in every
man—all these should urge upon the
Christian church the need of a new
and higher estimate of the worth of
a man—or a boy or a girL Let us
look at them with God’s eyes, and
seek to win them for Him.
m. Faith (v. 13).
No doubt this man had tried count
less times to straighten out that
withered arm. It was the very thing
he most wanted to do, but it was
quite impossible. Is Jesus then
charging him with the impossible,
asking him to do what cannot be.
done?
No, for He saw in this man the
desire to be whole and faith in
God’s ability to make him whole.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan puts it
well: “We turn from a contempla
tion of a withered hand and look at
the face of Jesus. The moment we
do this, we know that the command
is possible because He commands
it, however impossible it may ap
pear. To look into that face must
inevitably have meant to be certain
that He was not there to reveal dis
ability, save as He was also there to
put an end to it.”
IV. Enmity (w. M, 15a).
Jesus saw the good in man. He
also saw the evil. He was not un
aware of the hatred and the dark
devices of His enemies. Until the
day when He was to permit them
to take Him captive in the garden.
He withdrew from them, leaving
them to their evil designs and their
wicked unbelief.
Sometimes when we see how the
wicked seem to flourish in our day,
how they appear % to go on without
let or hindrance, we are prone to
forget that there is One who “sits
in the shadows,” and who knows and
notes not only their ungodly deeds,
but also their sinful thoughts.
He knows, and that is enough for
us. Let us not be seeking vengeance,
nor fretting ourselves because of
evil doers. God knows, and He will
care for it all.
V. Weakness (w. 15b-21).
Men hesitate to admit their weak
ness to one another, always trying to
keep up the appearance of strength
and success. Well, there is no need
of that kind of subterfuge with God.
“He knoweth our frame; he remem-
bereth that we are dust” (Ps. 103:
14).
Jesus sympathized with those who
were physically ill and He healed
them (v. 15). What comfort there is
in knowing that He is present at the
sick bed of every believer, and that
He is able to heal as it may be
His will and purpose. Only He can
do it.
But there is something even more
precious here. Man is weak not
only physically but spiritually. His
spiritual light may at times be near
ly out, just a smoldering wick in
stead of a brightly shining lamp. We
might be tempted to say that it is
so weak, so disagreeable, so smoky
—let’s put it entirely out. But not
Jesus. He will, if permitted, fan it
into flame again.
Then, too, man is like a broken
reed. The picture is that of a stick
cut to use for support as one walks.
And then it breaks—what shall we
do? Break it into smaller pieces
and throw it away? Yes, that is what
we will do if we have not the spirit of
Jesus.

your living and fining room but
feared the ceiling would sag if sup

you have considered the idea and
decided that after all it might not
always be convenient to have the
two rooms in one? Here is an an
swer to both of these questions.
The sketch shows the partition
removed to give a greater feeling
of space but the main supports
have been left in. A balustrade
between the two rooms makes a
division without spoiling the light
airy effect and a draw curtain
matching the living room dra
peries make it possible to shut the
dining room off when desired.
