Fight With
Joe Louis
HAzLEToN, Pa, Aug. 8.


HAzLETON, Pa, Aug. 8.
"What fight?"
That today was the way James
j. Braddock, the heavyweight
champion, summed up the 2R.
minute scrap between Joe Louis,
the Detroit Bomber. and King
Levinsky of Chicago last night.
81 didn't know you called
that fight" Jimmy added.
when do you want to fight
LOUISE" the champion was asked.
Here Joe Gould, Braddock's
manager, broke in.
"Tell 'em," he said, "that
Jimmy is out looking for a fight
with him. Like said before.
Tell Schmeling and Baer they
can go eliminate Louis first, if
they can, before they come to
us for a fight We want to
fight Louis"
The champion nodded assent to
his managers answer.
"That'S the way it stacks up"
he grinned.
Braddock came here for three
round exhibition tonight with
Jack McCarty, Boston heavy
weight, to top off a local card.
Gould said the champion would
head back into New Jersey tomor-
row and then circle up into New
York State on his transforming
exhibition tour.

NEW YORK. Aug. S-Devoid Of
alibis, and noticably lacking in
explanation for its shutout, the
United States Davis Cup team re-
turned on the liner Manhattan TO-

son, John van Ryn and Donald
Bulge had little to say about their
defeat upon landing, but init
mated the United States will not
regain the coveted bowl until Fred
Perry and Bunny Austin no longer
uphold the honor of England.
Joseph w. Wear, non-playing
captain of the challengers in a
statement to the press implied the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation does not size up its ma
terial properly.
"The main trouble with Amer
lean Davis Cup teams since the
days of Bill TiIden and Bill
Johnston" Wear said. "has
been that we don't approximate
our pIayers"-meaning the right
men have not been used in the
proper spots.
AS spokesman for the team,
Wear added the United States
squad was fortunate to get by
Germany in the interzone finals.
Regarding his future Davis Cup
competition. Wilmer Allison, who
bore the brunt Of defeat in losing
the doubles with Van Ryn, and
both singles to Perry and Austin,
asserted:

The King, frightened beyond
all ordinary expectations, re-
minded 10000 witnesses Of the
helpless bait or sacrifice" they
tether out on the African veldt
to appease the pangs Of wild
animal hunger. He never had a
chance. AS a matter OF fact,
he didn't seem to want any.
Down Three Times
Actually, he was down three
times before the end. Officially,
they made it four. The fourth,
however, was pretty much Of a
sit down, the King having dis
creetly selected strand OF the
ropes in a neutral corner for the
purpose. Referee Norman NC
Clarity didn't exactly know what
to do about that, so he did very
little, if anything. He finally de-
cided to act when the king, haV'
ing been cajoled out of the ropes,
resumed his semi-recumbent post
ure as promptly as possible.
Mr., Baer and Mr.. Braddock,
supposedly the next in line. may
be less abject in their surrender
if and provided, of course, they
ever consent to be sandbaggeo
for pay. In any case, Promoter
Jacobs, after a conference with
Ancil Hoffman last night, prom
ised to make an announcement
today of further plans for this
blank-faced Negro who has done
things in heavyweight prize
fighting never before equaled, IN
legend or in fact, by any cham
pion from Sullivan on down
through Tunney and Dempsey.
Many of them were tremendous
hitters. But Louis more than hits
He destroys.
It was his twentieth knockout
in "a fights since turning pro
fessional one year ago and, &C
cording to the author Of it, the
easiest he ever experienced
either as an amateur or profes'
sional.
The King was sent out there
in a flatfooted crouch, which
doubtless came under the head
of strategy" with his manage
ment. Anyhow, they not only
scared him to death but left him
without the quasi-protection OF
his customary antics.

He(ht Team Set
For Kann S

Hecht Company diamonders are
looking forward to a torrid game
Saturday with the powerful
Kann's nine in what will be the
feature attraction of the season
in the Department Store League.
The result will have a distinct
bearing on the second half title.
Kann's is leading at present with
three victories as against no
losses. The Hechtmen are in Sec
ond place with three wins as
against one loss.
The two teams will settle their
differences on the South Ellipse
diamond at II q. n.
Today, the Hechtmen play a
tune-up game at the Eastern Sta
dunn at p. m, against the
Georgetown A. c., a strong con.
tender for unlimited honors in
the National City League.

Now you may say that I am
taking a great deal for granted
in making so bold as to outline
the next 10 months in the heavy
weight fight future, in so def
mite a manner.
But had lou seen what I saw
in ComiSkey Park last night,
there under the lake-cooled,
starht canopy, and added it to
what transpirec in New York
in late June when Louis so
handily cut down the Ambling
Alp, Primo Camera, there would
be quite as little doubt in your
mind as to who is the best
heavyweight Scrapper on the
horizon at the moment, as there
is in mine.
Matter of Mathematics
Too, you've got to remember
that lethargic fight that Baer
and Braddock put up, to con.
vince yourself that neither of
those two can even deign to
lace the fight mitts on the left
hand of Lachrymose Joe Louis.
Too, you may say anything
you wish about King Levinsky
and chuckle to yourself as you
say it, but among the things you
CAN'T saw Of him is that he
is yellow.
He's a smart kid out Of the
garrulous Ghetto, and he was
smart enough last night to not
tamper with dynamite. After 2
minutes and 81 seconds of smell
ing the fuse that is in either
glove of Joe Louis, King Levin
sky squat down on the ropes
in a neutral corner and asked
Referee Norman Mccarthy to
stop the fight.
Meanwhile, Kingfish had sat
in the resin no less than four
times for counts of 2-5-5 and
4, respectively, which, I'll admit,
reads more like a tennis score
than like q fight chronology, but
that's exactly what happened
and the truth never hurt any.
body.
And yet, the question which
has been on the lips of so many
OF US for so many months, is
not answered.
Question Unanswered
Nobody knows to this day
whether Joe Louis can take it,
for UP to date there has been

easiest man to hit he has ever
fought, amateur or professional.
"He wasn't as much as I
thought he was gOin' to be-" Joe
said.
"He only hit me once, and
that didn't hurt"
you'll kill Baer, won't you,
Joe?" came a pitched voice from
the admiring thrOng.
"Uh-hum.''
That was the Louis sentiment.
He'll always admit that the next
day will be tomorrow.
