BRADDOCK PUTTING ON WEIGHT
LUIS FIRPO STAGES A COMEBACKTM
New York, August 25.
JACK Dempsey, whose prediction on the
Schmeling-Louis fight was "floored" along with a lot of other expert forecasts, is among the first to walk the plank with a guess on the Schmeling-Jim Braddock championship bout when and if, writes Charles Grumich.
The Manassa Mauler's long-range prognostication on the battle of the old men of the ring is couched in caution, but he lists definitely to the belief that Schmeling has got something.
"Right now," says Dempsey. "the Braddock-Schmeling fight looks like a toss-up between two courageous fighters.
Max was
in the best condition of his career for Louis and will be the same perfectly conditioned athlete against Braddock.
JESSE OWENS GIVEN A NOM-DE-PLUME
Known As "Ebony Antelope" In United States
London, August. 29. — Ал American the other day express- ed surprise that in Europe Jesse Owens has been nicknamed the "Black Express." He thought it strange that the American name for Owens had not gone abroad.
Apparently in the States he is known as the "Ebony Antelope." which, in view of his jumping prowess and ability as a hurdler as well as sprinter, seems very appropriate.

ALEX JAMES TO LEAD ARSENAL FOR ANOTHER SEASON
(By "The Twelfth Man")
London, August 6.
ARSENAL supporters must have become quite
to the magnificent efforts which the directors and management make for their com- fort. Every close season something new is thought out and added to the already super stadium at Highbury. So much has been done in. the past that spectators are now almost inclined to take everything for granted. And yet I think even the most blase supporter could not fail to be impressed and thrilled by the changes that have taken place on the ground since last May.
We all know that the east stand was to come down and a new building on a grand scale rise in its place. Some of us saw the plans, but even these gave little idea of what the finished stand would be like. I have been lucky enough to spend several hours on the almost completed building in company with the Arsenal manager, Mr. George Allison, and I was amazed at the work the Arsenal have put into it.
It was revealed at the time the work started that the new stand was to be of the double-tier variety. This is now an ac- complished fact, but the building is no mere stand." In fact, it would be more correct to say that the double-tier stand is only incidental, being one face of an immense building containing six floors.
