That long awaited prize fight be
tween joe Louis and Max Schmel
irg will come off next Wednesday
night at Yankee Stadium in
York City It will settle a lot of
doubts that have arisen in the
minds of boxing fans all over the
world.
Last week we gave you a “be
tween- the-lines” pick of Joe Louis,
Well, we will come right out with it
today—Louis will win by a __ Kayo!
There are many who will pull for
Schmeling so hard that his short
comings will be overlooked. They
will tell you that the German is
just as good today as he was two
years ago. This can't be true. He
has slipped a whole lot In the past
two years of cream puff fighting,
^il the while Louts has been fight
tag, training and readying himself
against that right cross of Schmel
mg s— the only weapon the ex
champion has ever had.
We saw the pictures of the Louis
Schmeling fight and came away
amazed at the lack of punching
power of Schmeling. Max really
knocked Louis out in the second
round. The hard right cross to the
side of the jaw in the second round
sounded like the report of a pistol.
The Negro's eyes became glassy.
His arms looked like the feelers of
a wet roach. He lost his poise and
balance yet he remained on his feet.
He walked around and weathered
the battering of Schmeling until
the twelfth round. He buckled un
der the constant fire of the Ger
man—not the punching power!
Louis never recovered from that
blow in the second round. He told
this himself. His fighting showed
it, too All of which puts one to
wondering what Schmeling would
have done had he not got in that
haymaker. If it took Schmeling ten
more rounds to finish a groggy
Louis what would he have done
without that lucky "Sunday punch”
that landed once but never found
its mark again during the whole
fight?
We once said that any white man
would be our pick over a Negro.
However. w r e have changed a bit.
We have learned to look at both
sides of things before going away
half cocked. If we had the least
Idea that Schmeling would win
there would be no time lost in say
ing so.
If Schmeling should win the title
we wonder if he would defend it
In this country or take it back to
Germany and keep it. One could
rot blame Max for doing just that.
He was robbed of the champion
ship in New York when he fought
Jack Sharkey. Most every sports
writer at the ringside said that
Schmeling won by a mile. Jimmy
Walker, then mayor of New York
City told the radio fans from the
very ring the fight was broadcast
from, that Schmeling won and that
he thought he should still be cham
pion. If the Scotch had taken the
British golf title away from Char
lie Yates the other week do you
suppose the Atlantan would ever
go over there to defend a champion
ship should he ever be lucky enough
to win another?—He would be a
fool if he did! So would Schmeling
be a fool to ever fight in America
again should he beat Louis.
With things in this state,
It would really be better for Amer
ica and Americans if Louis wins.
For there will be no American white
boy deprived of the chance of fight
ing for the title so long as it stays
In this country.
Hitler would back Schmeling up

Locals Defeat
Barnesville, 1-0
Last Sunday
Hewitt Marks Up Eleven
Strikeouts In Game
With Barnesville
Two games have been scheduled
for the Covington Mill Trojans this
week-end. Saturday they engage the
Union Point club from Green Coun
ty and Sunday they face the fast
McDonough nine. Both games will
be played at Trojan park, beginning
at 3:30 o’clock.
The locals split two games with
Barnesville last week. The game
played in Barnesville Friday after
noon was lost 4-3. Despite losing by
the close score the Trojans came)
back Sunday behind the five-hit j
pitching of Clyde Hewitt and won,
1-0, It was a game that saw only)
one Barnesville player reach second
base. This looseness on the local s
part came about in the ninth inn
mg.
Covington scored their lone run)
in the first inning. W. Bledsoe |
singled, Arnold bunted him down,;
Smith singled through short, mov- j
ing Bledsoe to third. A. Bledsoe flew
to right field and W. Bledsoe scored!
after the catch. After this the game
settled down to a pitchers duel with;
Hewitt having the upper edge of it
despite allowing one hit more than
clid Griffith who hurled neat ball
for the losers.
Both the Union Point and the
McDonough games should prove in
teresting to the baseball lovers in
these parts this week-end. Me- (
Donough has defeated the Trojans:
once this year and they will be out j
tc even the score Sunday afternoon
at Trojan park.
Union Point is boasting a pretty
fair ball club this season. They are
m second place in a league with
Greensboro and several other strong j
mill clubs
Covington Cubs
Beat Monroe
By Pug McLeRoy
The Covington Mill Cubs defeated
Walton Mill baseball club of Mon
roe last Saturday afternoon at Tro-1
jan park, 17-2. It was the sixth j
straight win for the locals this sea -1
son. j
The Cubs got off to an early lead |
by scoring four runs in the first
inning. The Monroe pitcher was
wild and with this mixed in with
a few base hits, the locals surged)
ahead.
Lefty Collins hurled for the Cubs,
it being his second victory of the
year. Monroe got only five hits off
Collins.
McLeRoy and O. Rowe hit best
for the locals. McLeRoy got two
for three and Rowe had two for four.
in keeping the crown in Germany.
He wouldn’t let the Jews fight for
it. And after all, it is the “heavy
weight championship of the world
When you say “world” you include
every race of people. If there is a
better Negro fighter than the white
race can supply then he rightly
should be the champion. I
We are looking and waiting for
a ‘‘white hope” but then we also
want it to be an -‘American white!
hope.”
Our pick is Louis in the tenth
round.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Started Going to Games As
Infant—Now is Star
Drawing Athlete
Alan Maver, new sports cartoonist
of the Covington News, whos draw
ings on current sports events will
begin to appear weekly today, is
able to catch the spirit of his sub
j ject so deftly because sports have
been his chief interest in life from
early childhood. It was because of
this early absorption in the world
of athletics that he happened to be
come a sports cartoonist.
When young Alan was In high
I school he wrote a letter to Feg
Murray, noted sports artist—a typi
cr 1 fan letter, such as all cartoonists
receive from youngsters by the score.
But there was something about this
particular letter that caused Mur
; ray to put it aside, and to answer
I it some months later when he needed
a young assistant.
As well as writing to Maver,
i ray had also advertised for an as
Isistant at the Art Students League,
| so that when young Alan arived he
found himself among a horde of
I ambitious applicants.
The cartoonist asked one of the
Art Students if he knew anything
about baseball.
"Why, of course, Mr. Murray,
answered the young artist. "Every
American boy knows about base
ball. But I'm an artist, not a—
hmmpf—a fan.”
The others were all the same—
except for one. That was Alan Maver.
Did he know about baseball? He did.
He could tell who pitched the first
game for the Red Sox in the
World Series, the record for putouts
in nine innings, and which were the
fingers on Three-Finger Brown’s
pitching hand.
Besides that, for a young fellow
he had extroadinary artistic talent.
Without further preliminaries, ne
was given the job.
Sports and art had been mingled
in Alan Maver’s life almost from
birth. Born and brought up in New
York City, back in his pre-grammar
school days he became a dyed-in
the-wool sports fan because his
brother, who worked nights, took
him to baseball games during the
day. Several tremendous thrills
marked epochs ih young Alan’s life,
One was the time he sat in the same
subway car with a substitute out
fielder on the New York Giants,
He was very young then,
j Another was the time the great

O Dowd stopped young Alan's brother
for a chat, and still another came
when a member of the Original
Celtics basketball team carried him
upstairs at the Polo Grounds. At
the age of eleven he saved up for
three weeks to buy a fifty-cent base
ball guide, and studied it so as
siduously that he very soon could
tell you the first name of every
player in the Three-Eye League.
That’s how he came by his sport
ing background. His artistic talents
came by inheritance from his Scotch
English parentage.
Alan Maver’s father won half a
dozen medals for decorative wood
carving when a young man in I
England, and won a prize in one
international exhibition. Another
j Maver was a member of the crew of
j Admiral Nelson's flagship. It's of the an
old family, and ancestors
name are cited in the records of
England, Scotland, Ireland and
France.
Charlie Yates Belongs in Line-up
With Jones, Stribling, and Cobb
All Georgia is proud o£ Charlie Yates, new British Amateur gol
champion. His victory in Troon, Scotland, has brought the title bad
where it belongs—the home state of Bobby Jones.
Not since the glamour days of 1930 has Georgia strutted. It wa
in 1930 that Bobby Jones made the grand slam in golf. The feat tha
put the eyes of the whole world on our beloved state.
