FIGHT PREDICTIONS (Maritin Harmon) Joe Lou.e' sensational first-round knockout victory over Ma* Schanellog last night in Yankee Stadium made the sports experts wisdom* kngs rather than foolish chumps as they wtre following the first fight two years ago, and Kings Mountain fight fans were generally wise too, having boarded the- Louis band-wagcn. According to the records, horse racee and prise fights give the sports .writing pnognoetlcartors more trouble than any other aport. Even a "Sure-hot" may pull a nose-dive, and it gives the average fan the opportunity to rank alongside the Alan Goulds and Paul Mickelsons in expert predicting. Last night's fight has almost rival* led softball in the drug store bull sessions?'*he black boy easy.** 'Schmeling will repeat," "Ah, the fight's already fixed.' Naturally, eince both boxers had backers, some called the right shot ?some did not. Who was right? (Though . a few comments are in wagering terms, there wae little betting.) Charlie Williams: "1 don't know, but It'll be Schmeling by a knockout or Louis by a decision. I wouldn't bet." O-. P. Thornteson, Sr.: "I think Louis will win, but I'm pulling for the German." Earl MoOfll: 'Schmeling at even money." Johnny McGlll: 'I'm keeping my money in my pocket, but Louis will j win." P. E. Hendricks: 'Little on the dark side." Hop Houston: 'Buck on Joe." H. E. Lynch: "I'm for an American black boy over a white German." B. S. NeiU: "It's all a racket?I have no interest In It." Before the fight, Ted Gamble was all ablaze with his prize bet.

Two of the principal 1 objects of the Lions are "to promote , the theory awl practice ctf the prin clplea c< good government and good citizenship," and,' ' more important j still, "to take an active interest in ( the civic, commercial, social and moral welfare at the community." | The Stags, while primarily purporting to fill the wide breach in city social ll/e, plan tp give civic aid, 8.5 well. The. preamble to their constitution reads in part:, "for the upbuilding 'tf the .social -welfare and social entertainment of people of Kings Mountain." The general plan of the Lions club is to number members from every profession and business. The first unit was formed in , Chicago in 1917, though the idea was taken from Mel vtn Jones' SERVICE dubs began In 1914. Since thai time, Lions International baa spread to seven other countries, including two thousand units and over nnety thousand memberh. The Association edits an official magazine at It Chicago headquarters, and stresses civic service, emphasizing business cooperation and courteev. rather ?than/ frlcton and price squabbling. c ' The Stag club gives to Kings Moun a tatn a purely local organisation of r ycunger men, who have already ren a dered a worthwhile service in push- ting the formation of the city soft ball y league, the buslnees man's recreation a While unbacked by a maze of broth, li er units and powerful international J networks, the kvaal clot expects to continue to prorvde social entertainment .which will eventually bring 11 publicity and good repute to the city. ' . Both clubs admit new members on C basis of merit, while the constitution c <'.f each prescribes codes of conduct o and specific individual duties ? J (hionh): "to hold friendship as an s cud and not a means and (Stags): "members of this club shall t conduct themselves as gentlemen at c all .times." s Public opinion aeconh to be with the new crganizations.
