known to himsel 1 ills his insistence indicates that he plans another footrace footracer foo trace and wants its as much time as possible in which his fighter will have a chance to wear joe down and tire him out other fighters hive have tried to keep out of joes range but have been singularly unsuccessful the brown boy from down alabama way has and tagged each one ol of them joe Is popularly supposed to have picked up tip a few pointers from henry armstrong pointers which will help him overtake the fleetest pastors alibi of course pastor has an alibi for the 1037 1937 shambles or at least the voluble johnston linston Jo has one cite for himat tile the time of the tight fight pastor was more or less a stooge because of tile the rivalry that existed between johnston anil and bilke jacobs both of ahorn were seeking to control boxing in e BOD BOB PASTOR new york jacobs future plans were built around louis and john ston knew that if louis looked bad in the fight it would be a direct blow at jacobs the plan if ff such there was worked out in pretty fair fashion louis muffed every opportunity to catch pastor and knock him outtie out th fight demonstrated that he know how to carry the attack to an opponent though pastor was a laughingstock louis dropped a few points in the publics estimation too there Is the chance of a reverse strategy in view of the previous fight and taking the 20 rounds into consideration as merely a bluff johnston might send pastor out lunging at the sound of the opening bell in that case the spectators would be sure of getting home early louis will merely refuse to co coop op erate crate with the johnston pastor campaign it long ago that gene tunney sang bobs praises albeit with reservations the former champion gave pastor credit for being able to think and called him the only ono one of heavy heavyweights weights with even an outside chance of beating louis lacks a punch other experts blow and cold over the young new york battler mostly cold lie he is fast shifty and ring wise but he a danger ous punch and to step into the ring against louis minus a lethal wallop Is tantamount to roping foping a wild bull with a daisy chain manager jimmy was as happy as a dip diplomat lorn it with a new umbrella when his bis man went the route with louis one reason why the next fight is likely to pu pursue arsue the same lines bob the punching power to trade with the champ and unless he back pedals away from joe he seems doomed to end up on the canvas in an early round promoter jacobs says the fight will draw at the gate fate and early in august claimed to have orders for more than 1190 seats at 2750 per copy professor jacobs Is undoubtedly optimistic but the he tight will have a good box office ic detroit is one of tile the best sport towns
