FIGHT IS FARCE
M
By HENRY McLKMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent
DA1YTONA BEACH, Fla., Mar.
28 (UP)—For more years than a
man who likes to shake a stick
at years, accepted thinkers have
said that tragedy was the basis of
all true comedy.
I'm beginning to believe the>
are right. Else how in the world
can you explain the laughs that
the matching of Tony Galento
with Joe Louis has produced'-1
From Seattle to Old Orchard
from San Diego to Key West,
-ports followers have found a
chuckle in the pitting of Ton.v
against Joe for the world's heavy-
weight (fighting championship.
Surely the laugh in the fight
between Tony and Joe is founded
on tragedy. To-ny hasn't a chance.
Fat, old, short of breath, awk
ward, he will walk into the rin-7
against the young negro cham-
pion with no more chance of sur-
vival than a turkey has at
Thanksgiving. He will go in there,
under the bright lights, as a fat
fool doomed to destuction. There
is every chance that in one cruel
round, or two cruel rounds, h/'li
be permanently hurt or disabled.
The tragedy is, Tony Galento
knows this. As a fighting man.
as one who knows what it takes
to be a champion, he more than
anyone else, realizes his short
comings. He knows he can't hit
with Louis, he knows he can't box
with Louis. He knows he can't
move about with Louis. Tony,
above all others, knows that the
moment the first bell rings he
becomes a sacrifice. I do not
doubt that during the few sec-
onds >or minutes he is in the ring
Tony will strut and grimace ana
generally make a show of himself.

byterian missionary council wi'l

collapsed.
Lower Recommendation
iAe a result, finance leaders pre-
dicted that when the subcommittee
reports the bill tomorrow it will
recommend that only $100,000,000
additional be granted for relief.
But they believed the figure would
be raised—perhaps to $125,000,-
000—on the floor of the house.
Failure of legislative strategists
to log-roll support of city and
farm blocs behind the two appro-
priations was apparently a result
of mistrust between the two
any satisfactory trade by the ap-
propriation subcommittee's post-
ponement until tomorrow of the
report on the WPA appropriation.
The parity payment proposal prob-
ably will be acted upon befoi
the committee report comes to the
house floor.
If the house approves of the
.$250,000,000 for farm benefits in
the face of Mr. Roosevelt's failure
to recommend such an item, it
would be a blow to business ap-
peasement plans, as the appropri-
ation of so large and un'budgeted
m would make it increasingly
difficult to repeal "business-deter-
ent" taxes. It also would strike
at the already-stumbling congress-
ional economy drive and give the
White House a weapon against
capitol hill critics of administra
tion spending.
He must, because that is all he has
to offer.
Galento will get knocked stiff
ami heipless for money. Fighting
for years, he never nas had a
bout in which the attendance oi
the price of admission was suf-
ficient to pay him real money.
llis bout with Louis will provide
both. To be held during the
World's fair, when the city r,l
New York will be filled with
thousands of persons anxious for
a way to spend an evening and
money, the fight is likely to __
draw upwards of a million dul-jf
iars. Tony's cut will be enough
to make up for the .cuts Louis will
give him. It will pay his rent for
years, guarantee food for the
family for a long, long time, and
that's what he is fighting for.
In thinking about the helpless
Galento walking out against
Louis, I remembered what Jim
Braddock said to me on the eve
of his fight with the merciless
hitter from Detroit.
In his training camp near Chi-
cago, I sat and talked with Brad-
dock and asked him if he really
knew how hard the negro hit.
"Yeah, I know," Jim answered.
"He hits harder than Dempsey,
they tell me. But Lissen—do you
think he can hurt me? Do you
think a fist can hurt a man who
has stood in a relief line to get
milk for his baby? Do you think
a punch on the jaw—and I don't
care who throws it—can hurt as
much as taking charity? Hell, no-
body can hurt me any more."
Galento will walk out against
Louis ready to take all Joe car
throw. He will walk out in the
face of certain defeat because he
wants the money for the ones
dear to him. He'll get hurt. Hurt
badly. That's a cinch.
And that's what we've bee"
laughing at!—(Copyright 1939

holdup of his home town bank.
Four hours after he had fright-
ened bank officials who knew him
as an eccentric into complying with
his demands for all available cash
and fled west in a stolen taxicab,
state police were Informed he had
been seen speeding northwest on a
highway near Salina, apparently
headed for the Nebraska border.
Hiway patrolmen were deploye'1
along all roads north and west of
Salina last night but failed to
find any further trace of his flight.
Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado po-
lice were asked to man border
points on main highways. They
were warned that the fugitive
i might be crazy, that he was armed
J with a shotgun and that it would
j be suicide to attempt to close with
him at close quarters.
It was believed that Thornberg,
who became expert in handling ex-
plosives during several years as
an oil field worker in southern
Kansas and Oklahoma, had rid
himself at least temporarily of
danger by simply removing the per
cussion caps.
On this premise, police doubted
he might accidentally blow himself
up while in flight. They said
dynamite sticks could he carried
with comparative safety so long
as the igniting caps were not in-
serted. It was assumed he was
carrying the deadly harness in the
seat beside him and would con-
nect it only when capture seemed
imminent.
