Chicago, Aug. 22. (JP Billy
Soose, the shifty and sharp box
ing master from Farrell, Pa.
has created an unprecedented
situation in middleweight history.
This 23-year-old former Penn
State college boxer holds the
distinction of having conquered
both claimants to the title
within a month, yet he does
not possess the most Important
thing the title itself.
Last night on Chicago's west
side, Soose surprisingly defeat
ed the deadly punching Tony
Zale. the "blonde buster" of
Gary, Ind., recognized by tic?
National Boxing association as
middleweight champion, in 10
blistering rounds.
Bolh Overweight
A month ago Soose whipped
Ken Overt in, recognized as
champion by the states of New
York and California. Both bouts
were fouwlit over the middle
weight limit of 180 pounds, the
significant bar which prevented
the championship from passing
into the eastern youngster's
hands. Soose scaled 162 and
Zale 161.
The verdict of the two Judges
and Referee Joe McNarnara was
unnnimotisly in favor of Soose
over the Gary puncher, who
had won his last 12 bouts. He
Jabbed considerable prestige out
of Zale a title, obtained when
Zale defeated Al Hostak of Se-
atle, in a 13-round knockout
July 19. Last night's verdict met
with the howling approval of
7,000 fans.
Zale, a deadly body puncher
when In range, started out with
the Intention of wearing down
Soose qulcklyt For the first two
rounds ho smashed away with
sharp punches to the body. But
beginning with the third he
found the tall easterner no easy
target.
Longer Reach
With better boxing skill and
reach In his favor, Soose be
gan popping tantalizing lefts
into Zale's face and blocking or
moving away from body
punches aimed by Zale. He com
pletely outboxed the Gary boy
in at least six rounds. uUhouRh
Zole kept charging in to force
the fighting. Zale, however,
could not match him in boxing
skill, and was unable to find
the range for enough of his
heavy body punches.
weighing 190 pounds and stand
ing an even six feet. He doesn't
hit as hard as Comlskey but he
is more skillful. He couldn't be
less, as a matter of fact. Hii re
cent victories were scored over
Frank Donofirno, Joe Ogatty
and Wally Sears, three higher
grade oafs than he digested his
first year.
As I understand it, all five of
the survey contenders want a
shot at Louis. And each is will

not have an elimination tourna

Contenders for Louis Crown
By Henry McLemore
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 22. (U.R) A recent survey conducted by
either the D.A.R. or the light wing of the Metropolitan museum
of art, I forget which, revealed that there are but five heavy
weights in the United States worthy, of a chance at Joe Louis
and his title.
Three of them Bob Pastor, I
Billy Conn and Lou Nova you
are fairly well acquainted with.
Pastor is the fellow wno has
gone 21 rounds with Louis and
still is able to dress himself,
drive his own car, and recog
nize his family. Conn is the fat
tened ud collar-ad boy from
Pittsburgh who holds the 175
pound championship and whose
scheduled fight with Pastor was
postponed when 23 raindrop
and fewer customers showed up
on the day of the bout. Nova,
the yogi-man, now is in Reno
getting a divorce from the cf
fects of the beating Tony Galen
to gave hi min Philadelphia a
year ago. Nova will prove his
fitness in a few weeks by fight
ing one Bilmp Williams, a 273
pound fugitive from London's
balloon barrage.
Now the other two heavy
weight candidates unearthed by
the survey you might not know
so much about. The more prom
inent Is Pat Comlskey, an Irish
youngster from Paterson, N. J.,
whose feet don't match but
whose fists do. At 20 Comlskey
stands well over six feet, weighs
upwards of 215, and is more aw
kward than a collie pup. But
there are fistic savants who
swear he hits harder than Louis
does, and his record of 24
knockouts in 28 fights would In
dicate that he hits for keeps. He
is said to have developed a su
perb left hand in the past year,
but as really good left hands
are something fighters are born
with and do not develop, you
can take that with an extra
shaking of Morton's.
Heavyweight prospect No. 5
Is Charley Ketchuk, a Ruthen
ian who works out of Endicott,
N. Y., an upstate town. He is
managed by Jersey Jones, who,
for a great deal of the year, is
engaged by Mike Jacobs to pub
licize Joe Louis. But even when
Jersey is handling the publicity
from a Louis camp, he spends a
good half of his time beating
the tom-tom for Ketchuk. While
this constitutes fifth columnlng
no one seems to mind, chiefly
because Louis needs a capable
challenger more than he does
a build up. '
When Ketchuk turned profes
sional a year ago his board of
strategy decided to bring him
along slowly, to teach him to
walk the rocky road of pugilism
before asking him to run it.
Just a youngster out of higu
school, where he was such a
good football player that he was
reported to have received offers
of scholarships from Sviacuse.
Colgate, Georgetown, and south
ern California, he was fed a
steady diet of harmless oafs.
And oafs, not wheaties is the
breakfast of champions in the
making. In 16 bouts lie lost only
one decision.
Ketchuk started his second
year of busting beaks for money

The Los Angeles Angels can't
get settled in second place long
enough to call it home.
Seattle handed the Seraphs an
eviction notice in duplicate last
night, winning a Pacific coast
league doubleheader 10 to 2 and
8 to 1, for a three-straight series.
It happened while Oakland,
the old tenants at No. 2, blanked
Hollywood 4 to 0 and took up
housekeeping where they left
off last week, at a discreet dis
tance, 16'4 games, behind the
Seattle crowd.
The San Diego Padres got a
firmer clutch on the shirttails of
the first division by wailoping
the pitiable Portland Beavers,
12 to 1, for two straight.
At Sacramento the Solons met
all kinds of grief in losing tc
seventh-place San Francisco 5

Boston. 11 -K American col
leges and universities should
abolish textbooks and substitute
the study of 100 of the world'i
greatest books, according to Dr.
Mortimer J. Adler, author of
How to Read a Book."
As a model for such a move
he suggested St. John's at Ann
apolis where ' all the great
teachers ar-j dead. There are
very few lectures there. The
living teachers lead the discus
sions on the great thinkers like
Homer, Plato, Galen, Hegel,
Marx and Freud."
Adler says that learning re
quires reading and th it one must
read the great works to be able
to read. He said that he doubt
ed if more than a few student
or even teachers really know
how to read a book.
He added that the smaller
schools must lead in any change
because "the larger ones are
top-heavy with watertight com
partments of so-called fields of
learning."
