Joe Louis In
Knockout Win
Over Ramage
Detroit Negro Heavy Stops
Tough San Diego Fighter
in Eighth Round.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-PugiliSms
roll of great Negro fighters had
an addition today-Joe Louis, De-
trot youngster, who has punched
his way to the front ranks of the
heavyweight contenders in six
months.
Louis scored a technical knockout
over Lee Ramage, San Diego, CAL,
after minutes Is seconds of fight
ing in the eighth round of their
scheduled 10-round bout last night
at Chicago STAG IN. Louis weighed
19412, Ramage 1897.
A crowd of 1888 paid $29, 1896 to
see the show, promoted by Nate
Lewis and Jim Mullen.
Twelfth Straight Victory
II was Louis twelfth straight
victory since he turned profess
sional last July 4, and his tenth
knockout in IL pro bouts. In his
last three preceding bouts Louis
stopped Art Sykes, Stanley Poreda
and Charles Massera.
Lewis knockout victory over
Ramage places him in a position to
demand a match with Steve Hamas

Camera, Max Schmeling or any OF

age had not been knocked out since
his first year of fighting until Louis
turned the trick, and the Califor-
MIA boy had met Hamas, Levinsky
LaSky and numerous other top
notch heavyweights.
Ramage was ahead on points
until just. before the end. He out
boxed Louis in the early rounds and
piled up points with left jab which
he f1icked continually into the Neg
ro's face. Ramage's inability to keep
off the ropes started his downfall.
KnOckdown Turns Tide
Louis caught him back against
the ropes in the eight round and
whipped over a vicious right cross

BUTLER CAGERS FACE INDIANA CENTRAL
ityHardwoOd
Rivals on Edge
for Encounter
Bulldogs to Seek Revenge
Over Greyhound Five in
FieIdhouSe Tonight.

Butler and Indiana Central Col
lege will renew their city basket
ball rivalry in Butler fieldhouse to-
hight at $50 with the North Side
school seeking revenge for a one
point defeat in 1888.
The feature of the clash will be
the battle between Gene Demmary
and Big Dave DeJernett, pivot men,
who fought bitterly for an edge in
their last meeting. y DeJernett
copied the honors that time as his
team came from behind to nose out
the Bulldogs in the final minute, 80
to 81. AS a result, Demmary, who
jumps for Butler, is the big Negroes
bitter rival.
Tonight's tilt probably will not be
an exclusive battle of centers, al
though the center ring undoubtedly
will be the front-line trench. Other
goal snipers on the two teams are
expected to have part in the con-
test for intra-city college hardwood
supremacy.
Close Guarding Expected
Led by Ralph Bradford, who last
week accounted for 10 points in his
varsity game as regular, the other
Butler men must be prepared to
chalk up an additional number of
baskets which ordinarily would be
left up to Demmary.
Demmary, although scoring II
points in his opening game of the
season against Earlham, is expected
to be guarded closely by DeJernett
tonight and may not be able to COL
lect his regular share.
Roscoe Bats, who usually can be
depended on for an occasional shot
from we'll out on the floor, has been
of form during recent practice.
largely due to illness. He showed
improvement in the final practice
yesterday, however.
Butler presents a heavy squad this
year, averaging 1875 pounds. Con-
ciderable difficulty was encountered
last year against strong competition
because the squad was comparative
ly light. Other members of the first
five, in addition to Demmary, Braf-
ford and Bats, are Toy Jones and
Scott Armstrong.
Central Has Veteran Squad
The Indiana Central team, with
exception of DeJernett, lacks weight
and depends partly on the big CEN
ter's rebound tips for their scoring
opportunities.
Coach Harry Good has practically
the same squad which defeated But
Ter last year, although Quackenbush
may be unable to play because of a
knee injury. His position may be
filled by Shaul or Dorton, with
Harry Spurgeon, William Schaefer
and John Byers, all veterans, COM
rleting the lineup.

dogs, too. We know from some re-
mains of dogs which are at Harvard
University that the basket maker
Indians in the Western part of
America had dogs that appeared
something like our farm shepherd
dogs, had long hair and were SINH
larly colored.
But try as one may, he can not
find out much concerning the dog
in the British Isles, where most of
our modern breeds originated. Back
of the printed word, there is practi-
cally no information to be found.
And printing is a relatively new in
vention.
So to my mind, the most i'm
portant fact about the collection of
dogs at Yale, is that some day a
thousand years or more from now,
people may come and look at these
dogs which are being mounted to-
day, and will then know what our
breeds we're like. They will have
new breeds, different types, no
doubt, but some of our kinds will
go on and on, because they are so
eminently we'll suited to the work
that they we're selected to do, just
as the sight hounds have gone on in
practically the same form they have
possessed for so many hundreds Of
years that have preceded us.
Dog breeders have erected many
monuments to their skill and per-
severance, and it is well that these
works be preserved for posterity.
