(AP) J louls. men of the hour In the fight business cswhrs up tonight with Ghsrley Retzlaff, latest of the heavjr- wclghts to promise mm a oaiue. The spectacular Detroit negro hose explosive fists have blasted open a new vein of huge "gates," and the 28-year-old South Dakota farmer, will go to work In the Chi cago Stadium for what Is scheduled as a 18-round battle. The test, if It mounta to that, will be the Brown Bomber's llrst In 1038. No ItcUlaff Money. . Indications today were that 20.000 spectators will see the bout. All of them will be hoping that tletalaff adheres to his promise to throw punches from the start. Most of them will be expecting to ee Louis, 1 to 10 choice with virtually no FetrJnff money around, accomplish another of his crushing triumphs. If the 20.000 attendance mate rialised, the gate receipts will crowd innnm nf which the . cold-eyed negro will receive 40 per cent. He also will get a almllar cut of the radio and motion picture receipts. Uetalaff la down for 1714 Per cent of the gate. A crowd of 30,000 also would be the biggest here since 1932 when Jack Dtmpsey. hero of boxing's other big gold rush, and King Levlnsky fought their four round exhibition In tha atadlum. Pot Holler for Joe. To Louis, who haa not squandered tnore than six rounds on any of his last nine foes, the engagement la Just an opportunity to add about 40,000 to the $384,000 he collected sat yosr. He la confident that noth ing like i rounds will be required . rteuslaff the way of Le- iiairv Primo Camera. Max Baer and Paulino Uwudun, his moat re cent victims. For Retr.taff, It Is a chance to provide an answer to the question of what Loula would do under pres sure. It haa been so long since any one got tough with, the bomber that it has become almost legend that Louis has first scared, then knocked all his opponents stiff. Retr.laff Inslsta that he will not be whipped before he start. Testimony that the. strapping heavy from the wheat belt haa the equipment to damage anyone he tan hit. Is found In hla record. Hla destructive right hsnd has accounted for BS knorkouta In 88 fighta. Well Matched. Physically, they are well matched, louts wae expected to weigh at noon today about 201 sounds, his heaviest for an Important battle. Petalaff, with advantages in height nd reach, figured to be outweighed py about five pounds at 108. Louis would not predict how long .he fight would last other than to aay that he would get It over aa quickly aa possible. Hla trainer. Jack Blackburn, said It would end as "socn aa we can hit him. Maybe the first, maybe the second, maybe the third. Not any longer than that." The bomber wilt be aiming at his t7th consecutive professional tri umph, and his 3.1rd knockout.

"Second, to broaden present ad justment operation so as to girt farmer increasing Incentives for con servation and efficient use of the nation's aoH resources. "The time may come when tht AAA will prove aa Important In stimulat ing certain kinds of production as It haa been In removing recent burden some aurpluaea." As the president spoke, adherents of New Deal farm policies were be lieved to be fighting to put five big national farm organisations on record in favor of the administration's plan to amend exlatlng soil conservation law to continue crop control princi ples of A A.

Tht third will be Jot Ixrji'.tr. who meats Charity Retzlaff In Chicago. Upstate newspapers, remembering O. 5. O.'s winning of tht northwest ern conference last year, are foresee ing an O. S. 0. victory. We who watched Coach Howard Hob son's team here In tht southern part of the ettte art not so positive. It la hard to Imagine a ttam, no matter how smooth, which oan get around tht scoring threat of Howell, Patterson Willlt Jones and Llebowlte. Wt don't think Oregon State can, and further Imagine that Oregon will end the sea son on top of tht coast scramble. Speaking of Patterson, tht p&nthtr llke negro who haa roamed tht boards of basketball courts all over Oregon, we believe he la tht most nearly per fect basketball player we have ever seen. H can Jump center, or ht can sweep down the sideline and take tht tip-off when Howell Is Jumping. Ht covers more floor apace than anyone we have ever seen, and the way ht takes the ball off the baok-board to complete cripple shots la tnough to warm tht cookies of the coldest hearts. We have noticed that Hobby hasn't been starting Patterson lately, al though he used him a lot In the two games played In Ashland and here a few weeks ago. The answer aa to why ht hasn't used the colored flash la too deep for us, although Hdbson undoubtedly knows what he's doing, WILLAMETTE FIVE WILL MEET SON PORTLAND PUCKSTERS TRIM VANCOUVER. 5-1 PORTTjAND.

But to get back to the Brown Bomber, We hare a suspicion that this Retzlarr will Ire Joseph a better scrap than he's had for some time. He has a pretty Im pressive knockout record himself, you know, and eren against set ups you have t4 hara something on the old dukes to knock out orer ISO men, Wt hardly think that Rctr.laff will win. but If ha can tag that shirty Louis he might dynamite his way Into the top flight. Nobody has hit the De troit flash hard enough to knock tha steam orf a biscuit for a long time. It will be Interesting to see what happens If Retr.laff manages to do so. We let ourselves In for It by de claring our Intention of talcing a. fling at skiing one of these Sundays. A few who heard the raah threat think thla a fine opportunity of put ting ua on the spot, and have offered to show ua how to cut around a big rook while hurtling downward at breakneck apeeds. If we don't back out on the proposition entirely, wa are at least ccrtsln of this much we do no skiing down grades of any kind until we learn to stand up on those peaky boards. Tha last time we ventured Into a skiing party, our general Impression of Crater Lake p.rk iu all white. All while, for the very simple reason that our head waa burled under several feet of eatreme ly cold anow for most of the after noon. H'a surprising how far a head can go Into stuff that otherwise seems firm enough to support a 200 pound man. .
