NEW YORK — (#) — No matter
what happens tonight when Joe]
Louis, “Brown Momber” from De-|
triot, trims his short-range punch
ing fire on Primo Carnera at the
Yankee stadium, their box office
appeal assures one of the biggest
financial successes since pugilism
tock the country from old man de
pression. {
~ Favorable weather reports, coup
léd = with extraordinary interest
arpused throughout the county by
the most important mixed match
is more than a decade of heavy
weight activity, boomed the ticket
sales.
_ There was little chance of a sell
out for a park that can accommo
date close to 80,000, but it appeared
certain more than 50,000 cash cus
tomers would contribute nearly
$400.000 to see just how long it will
take the youthful Negfo, Louis, to
bring down the 265-pound Italian
giant,
The odds appeared likely to be at
least 2 to 1 in favor of Louis when
the clans gather at the ringside.
There wag little Carnera money in
sight. Broadway shared the general
relief of fistic experts and follow
ers-at-large that the huge Ttalian
is made to order for' the deadly
punching Negro.
Reports that Carnera would scale
close to 265, considerably over his
best fighting weight, did not lend
any encouragement to his follow
ers. Despite his advantages in
size, reach and experience, Primo's
chances of avoiding Louis’ knockout
punch were not considered bright.
Racial rivalry and the fact that
tge fight occurs at a time when
the governments of Ttaly and Abys
sinia are in a dispute has prompted
ntgmoter_s and police to cooperate
in taking unusul precautions against
the possibility of an outbreak among
spectators,
. Authorities minized the prospect
g-any disturbance, but more than
1,000 uniformed men were due for
assignment to the stadium.
Both principals were kept under
tinual guard as a result of un
stantiated rumors that attempts
ould be made to “approach” one
‘or the other. The commotion
was reminiscent of the old days
when no big heavyweight fight was
gmplete without alleged under
pld-activity, threatened arrests or
a&emp ts to put somehing in some
body’s tea. . .
= The fighters”were expected to re
port to the commission to weigh in
no¢ later than noon REastern Stand
‘ard time. The preliminaries start
at 2 p. m., and the main bout is
lated” for not later thah 9 p. m.

The Legs ~stance the all-round athlete, it may
In general it may be said that
the legs are less frequently unde
velopeds than the other parts of the
body. This is as might be expect
ed since the muscles of the legs
gets at least a little use in carrying
the weight of the body, even when
one does only limited walking or
standing, whereas in many cases
the muscles of the upper body are
almost entirely unused.
However a little irregular walk
ing or the mere act of standing
will nat suffice for any real deve
lopment of the muscles of the leg,
as is evidenced by the shapelessness
of the great wmajority of lines
which we see at any beach or bath
ing resort. And these people are a|
little above the average we might |
say in athletic ability and enthus
iasm about physical training since
they are sufficiently energetic to
want to go swimming. Any real
deviopment or symmetry of the
legs requires that the muscles bhe
given real vigorous use. |
People whose work require that
they walk quite a lot do mot have |
the finest looking or strongest legs.
Walking isn’t sufficiently vigorous
enough to fully develop the legs.
The legs were not made for walk
ing alone—we can run with them,
we can climb, we can jump we can
dance, we use them less in walking |
than any thing we do. Many peo-!
ple would get much better resultsi
out of walking if they walked pro-|
perly—with good pasture-toes turn- f
ed straight ahead and with a long |
Indian like stride that causes you |
to rise on the toe each step and |
give the arch and calf real exercise. |
For many people to depend onl
iwalking on the city streets for ex
lercising the legs are going to be!
disappointed in the results. t
If you walk any distance at all |
it should not be on the hard un-!
natural concrete but on the earth.i
Cross country walking stepping |
over this rock, jumping this little !
brook, climbing this little hill, is the |
way we were intended to walk-—no:{
on level conecrete. Track coaches '
are particularly emphatic in not
permitting their runners to run onl
| hard surface.

In Tournament :
Arthur Flatau, jr., and ,\lnrion!
:Duflusu, jr., pulled a surprising up-?
‘set yesterday in the Athens dou-|
bles tennis championship when’
they teamed to defeat Stancil Smithi
and Walter Cernett, seeded No, .’{t
in straight gets.
Yesterday was the first day of
the doubles tourney, and all match- |
€s were unusuaily hard fought. The
singles meet will start next week.
Hunter and Mclntyre teamed to
defeat Ed Hodgson and Milton Jar-|
nigan 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, in another|
match that was slated to come uuti
the other way. This match was one |
of the best of the day, with both|
teams playing great tennis. '
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hooper
were defeated by Ceorge (‘xriffith'
and Helen Jordan, 3-6, 6-2, 6-].'
Griffith is one of the foremost play
ers in Athens, and for two years
was a member of the University of
Georgia team. Miss Jordan, a stu
dent gt Georgia, has established a
reputation of being one off the best
girl players in the city, and the
team is expected to be hard to beat.
Giles, of° Madison, and Preston
defeated Joe Hilsman and Dot
Beavers, (-2, 6-1. The match be
tween Julia Bishop and Sniper
against Gus Witcher and E. W
Healey will probably be played to
day. ' Bishop and Sniper failed to
show up yesterday.
Marion Dußose, sr., and Joe
Wyckliffe, seeded No. 1, will play
George Griffith and Miss Jordan
today. Xd Southerland and Ed
Everett, No. 2, will meet the winner
of the Bishop-Sniper vs. Witcher-

MILL RE-OPENS
UNION, 8. C.—(AP)— The Mon
arch Mill, scene of a double slaying
during rioting last week, re-opened
Monday with practically a full force
and no untoward incident, :
The re-opening was effected un
der an agreement obtained by Gov
ernor Olin D. Johnston, who rushed
here on receipt of word that W. B.
Franklin and A. 1.. Stutts had been
killed in a riot attributing to a‘tist
fight in picket lines.
be unnecessary to devete any spec-
ial attention to the legs, inasmuch|
ag one’s practice of running and
jumping in connection with the
games which he plays will provide
him with the necessary exercise and
deviopment. Even in such cases
there are sometimes defects in de-}
velopment, such perhaps as the
inside of the leg, for which special
exercise is recommended. :
For the beginner who is generally
undeveloped, some special exercise
for the legs should he adopted in
order that they may be developed
symetrically a n @ harmoniously
with the rest of the body. The
work of the legs is so important
that it is especially desirable that
they should be strong, and that
they should not become fatigued too
readily. Local fatigue of the legs
usually gives one a sense of general
constitutional weariness or exhaus
tion.
It is not enough that the legs
should he just strong enough to
permit the owner to walk about;
they should be so much stronger
than this that they will never know
a sense of fatigue no matter how
much walking he may do. The only
way to acquire such strength is by
exercise which requires vigoreus
exertion upon the part of these
muscles, Walking as an exercise is
almost perfect as a constituional,
but it is not sufficient to enable
one to reach anything like the full
development of the legs.
Furthermore, a great deal “of
walking will never increase the con
tracting power of the muscles above
a certain point. But this ihcreased
power, acquired by other exercise,
will make long walking easier. Let's
all strive for capable legs. They
will take care of you. In an emer
gency they are extremely desirable,

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
EATONTON THURSDAY
N LEAGUE FEATURE
Athens and Whitehall to
Play Here Thursday
At 4 O'clock
The first half of the Georgia
Piedmont Jleague will come to an
ergd after games Thursday 'and
Saturday, and fro the looks of
things now it will take the final
game to decide matters.
Three games will he played in
the league Thursday, and one to
morrow afterncon. Bishop and
Athens CCC have arranged to play
their game in Bishop tomorrow in
stead of Thursday.
This game is expected to be a
close and hard fought affair al
though neither has a chance to
win the first half title. For the
past two Saturdays the CCC team
has been going at a fast clip, and
last week defeated Athens.
Bishop has had something of an
up and down season, playing un
beatable baseball at times, and
losing to the weakest teams at
other stages. However, both are
sure to be serious threats in the
second half of the league, which
will start immediately after the
end of the first division Saturday.
Good Hope and Eatonton appear
to be the teams which have a
chance at the first half title. Ea
tonton lost a thrilling 1 to 0 game
to Statham last Saturday and went
into a tie with Good Hope for the
leadership. However, the Eatonton
manager has put in .a protest on a
game played with Athens, which
Athens won, and if his protest is
okayed Eatonton will still be
ahead by a small margin.
The feature eof the program for
Thursday, will be a clash between
Good Hope and Eatonton in Good
Hope. The winner of this game is
expected to win the first half
championship.
Other games will finda Whitehall
and Athens laying here ‘and
Greensboro meeting Statham in
Statham. :
Games will get under way at 4
o’'clock, with admission of 16 and
26 cents charged.

“Forty per cent of all cancer
deaths,” Dr. F. L. Rector, Evanston, |
111, told the assembly, “are in the!
preventable class if the public and|
the medical profession utilize fullyt‘
the existing knowledge on how to
control the disease.” l
In 1932, he added, 122,449 persons|
died from cancer, yet 40 per cent |
of them shouid not have died. Thel
same year, 3,120 persons succumbed
to skin cancers, yet 90 per cent ofi
those deaths, said Dr. Rector, need
not have occurred. '
Great strides, he said, have been
made by the medical profession-in}
preventing cancer deaths.
