EXHIBITS COOL PRECISION IN DEL1VER1NGSH0TS Ettore Counted Out After Pair of Well-Timed Lefts Find Target Floored In First and Fourth By Paul Mlckelson Associated Press Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 23. P) steering hit way with a sure left arm, Job Louis has passed the second hu man milestone on the road back. The Brown Bomberwhoe ring for- tune were crushed by Max Schmel Ing three months ago as a stunned fight world gtuiped, simply breezed by his second objective at the Philadel phia municipal stadium last night by knocking out Al Ettore, home town pride, In the fifth, round before a throng of 40,407 customers. Hie fans PRld 9310,117 to see the show, netting King Kmart Loula was expected to beat Ettore as he did the leg-weary Jack Sharkey ft month ago. The result didn't prove that the Detroit negro was a "great" fighter, but the way he went about his Job, his '.oolncss under fire, and the devastating, precise lefts he threw, did convince the majority of unbelievers that "Big Joe" was get ting ring smart. As the barrel-chested Philadelphia youth rushed at him, aiming a few of fichmellng's copyrighted rights at Louis Jaw, the negro stepped back, took his time like a great ring master and then, seeing hts chance, dug in. In the fifth round of the sched uled 10-rounder,' he drew Ettore on and then executed two perfectly timed lefta that sent the blond down to Uy. Game to the finish, Ettore at tempted to rise but he half stumbled to his feet and fell face forward over tho ropes. Al Floored Often . , Ettore, a rugged fellow who never vu noted as a ring killer, was game! throughout and fought his best but It Just wasnt good enough. He was j floored with count of three In the I first round and for a toll of nine. In the fourth. Except for puzzling! Louis with his characteristic rushes nd a fine showing in the third, when he made the negro miss, the bushy halrod Italian was outclassed. Promoters were elated over the suc cess of Philadelphia's second major fight within a decade. Ten years ago tonight Oene Tunney lifted the Heavyweight crown from the brow of Jack TJempsey before a record crowd etf 130,000 ra'.n soaked spectators In tho same aren where Louis made his ccond winning fight along the come back trail.

The Giants still hold a four and half games lead over the gas house gang. Thoy need only two victories or one triumph and a Cardinal da feat to clinch the pennant but things v't look so rosy following yester happenings at Ph Untie! phi a and St. Louis, Just when tho Giants were all set to clinch the pennant by taking the Phillies twice. Jimmy Wilson's men rose In all their might, belled their last place rating, and smote the lcaguo leaders In both Rnmea of a doublohcader, 11-7 and 0-2. At the same time the Cards trimmed the Reds 6-3 while even tho Cubs re tained tholr mathematical chance to tie for the pennant by hitting the third -place hopes of the Pirates with a 11-4 victory.

(AP) Leo Lomskl, the old-time "Aberdeen Assassin," found his comeback trail somewhat encumbered today with the loss of a 10-round decision to King Levlnsky. Chicago veteran. Levlh.Mcy, with an ; advantage In weight and years, out-generaled Iom akl early In last night's fight and had the aanfiAln on one knee for no count In the fifth round, but he needed a good share of his points In tho final tally. Lomskl, weighing 187 14 to Levin sky's 304, used his favorite short right to the heart to score heavily In the seventh, and broke even or better in the last three rounds, The assassin showed all the gnmenesa which made him the outstanding drawing card on the coast In the early 1030 s. but he couldn't solve Levlnsky's battering style soon enough.

Wolfe has made one of the most rapid about faces In Med ford wrestl ing annals. Two years 'ago he was the fair haired boy to Med ford fans, with a clean, engaging manner and a hook scissors that brought him re peated victories. When he returned to the local wars several months ago fans began to tire of his methods. It Is believed by many that Wolfe turned moanle when ho became dis gruntled at the lack of adulation from the rlngslders. Today he Is as liberally despised as any meanie of long standing, and the hearty chorus of cat-calls with which he was greet ed Monday when he attempted to make a speech gives rise to the sup position, that fans will not be dis pleased at the prospect of his ending his local career as the sails on the Chick windmill. The middle event will be a battle of drop-klckers, with Pete Belcastro matching his leg lunges against the pedal punches of Gene Moore, Max Baer of the mat, who flattened Pat O'Brien with one thundering wallop tothe chest Monday. For action, the bout promises to reach a new top here. Both battlers are young, and both are clever. The opening scuffle will see Prince Mlhalakls against a new meanie big, rough and unorthodox Billy Burns of Atlanta, Georgia. Burns Is said to be one of the fieriest fist throwers ever to come out of the south, and hla fortunes will be tested In his match with the Arab. In several i matches here Mlhalakls has exploded In the face of meanles, but In his last two struggles with Wolfe he did not unleash one punch. He may aban don that method against Burns, he sard. I RELICS Of WORK E BY WRIGHTS STILL IN DAYTON DAYTON, O. (UP) Although Henry Ford's recent purchase of the little shop In which Orvltle and Wil bur Wrght constructed some of their first gliders and airplanes took away from Dayton one of the rellca of the pioneers of heavier than air machines it did not leave the city without land marks made famous by tho two brothers. In addition to the shop which Ford purchased for his Dearborn mu seum, there are six oiher places here Intimately connected with the Wrights, One of the landmarks Is the home In which Orvtlle died and where Wilbur died. It was In' this home that the brothers planned and accomplished much of their early work, and it was their residence after they re turned from France with the first national recognition of their history making feat. When Susan Catherine Koerner Wright, mother of the boys, died, her husband, Bishop Milton Wright, di vided the property among his chil dren. A daughter, Catherine, received tho homestead, and In 1033 she sold it. It Is now owned by Mrs. Lottie Jones, a negro servant who worked for the Wright family for 43 years. Orvllle, still a Dayton resident, lives In a pslatlal home In suburban Oak wood, which was planned Just prior to his brother's death. He also maintains a laboratory there. The other landmarks connected with the development of tho airplane are one of the early hangars used to house experimental plnnes, a hillside on which test flights were made, and where It Is now planned to erect a memorial to the Wrights, and a little woodshed at the rear of their old homestead where they carried on experiments In photography and housed parts of their planes. , GUN SIGHTS to fit all guns.

Into conaition for the fray. Potentially the current edition of the Black Tornado Is a better balanc ed and more dangerous aggregation tnan last years state championship team. The line will be bigger and faster, the ends will be taller, the backs will be faster, older and more experienced, but the spectre of un tried men in key positions still haunts the squad and little will be known of the actual dirength until after the Eureka tussle. Eureka Invariably flashes a decep tive, clever and powerful team, and pitted against the quick breaking Tigers the game is expected to be one of the best in local sporting annals. The new turf field will be used for the first time In the game, and the new giant grandstand will be thrown open. Estimates now are that the 1275 capacity stand will not be sble to ac commodate tl: crowd, and the port able bleacher seating an added 600 will probably be assembled for the fray.

A moving target Is difficult to hit at any time, but it becomes increas ingly difficult as the speed of the target la Increased to tho point where you cannot find it. The Importance of the move lies In its aptness as another Illustration of the sub-surface a! and sharp You ceilainltj TCpfe KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISK ness of Mr. Roosevelt' campaign, which la not supposed to have started yet. For the last few weeks, his aim has been to keep one Jump or more ahead of his opposition, to look ahead, to plan ahead, to off-set in advsnce. (Note also his anticipation of the Hearst attack 24 hours before it was made.) No other public man. and no other general since Robert E. Lee has been as keen in anticipating the move ments of the enemy, through private intelligence and otherwise, or as swift In countering before a blow falls. Note When twitted about the elaborate nature of arrangements for the open letter, Mr. Wallace sagely observed: "Lots of things nsturally come through the funnel in Septem ber every four years." It Is said the doorman at the White House tears the maathead Identifi cation off the Hearst paper each morning so Mr. Roosevelt will not start the day in a bad humor. Noth ing, whether war threats In Europe or Republican threats in Maine, turns the cream in his morning coffee like reading hla unfavorlte publisher. That haa long been an Inner situa tion. On at least one occasion, seve ral months ago, Mr. Roosevelt pre pared a sharply critical attack on Mr. Hearst and planned to issue It. He was persuaded not to. His capable publicity advisers told him an of ficial presidential response to a news- paper attack generally advertises the attack to millions of persons who might not otherwise hear of it. Their conclusion has been strengthened by the partisan publicity aroused by publication of Mr, Roosevelt's state 'ment against Mr. Hearst and vice versa. However, none of the president's publicity advisers will suffer any de merits. If the truth were known, they cautioned him about the technical ef fects of his move aa strongly this time as before. He over-ruled them this time. The Couzena-f or -treasury campaign of New Deal liberals seems to be sty mied. Senator Couzens friends say he would not take the budget di rectorship. These surmises have turned speculation to the possibili ties of getting him into a cabinet chair through the commerce depart ment or Interior department window, after election. The navy has clamped down on news since the spy scares a few weeks back. Officers below the rank of ad miral are afraid to be seen talking to anyone. Tlie rumor la around that Charles Mlchelson, Democratic publicist, writes Mrs. Roosevelt's column, but It Isn't so. Vice -president Garner waa torn away from his fishing not to make speeches, but to lend advice. He will make no more than three or four speeches, but he will sit In on all political conferences. Hla Judgment is respected.
