to set up an American postal service

New York - With his over
whelming victory over big, bad,
boastful Max Baer now history,
and his honeymoon with his pretty
young wife, Marva, under way,
Joe Louis is now called by Amer
ica's sport writer's and fans, "the
uncrowned champion of the
world"
Through it all the youthful
worlds sport figure has maintained
a calm and modest disposition. His
mask of Indifference has left him
somewhat since his engagement
and subsequent marriage has come,
but he still seems to be the swell
kid that his Detroit and Chicago
friends say he is.
The huge popularity of Joe with
the white fans of the North has
not caused much comment because
northern whites are fair along all
sport lines, pulling for the best
man, but the unusual sight of
southern whites pulling for Louis
is the most unusual phenomenon
developed by this young pugilist.
Alabama Claims Him
Grantland Rice, southern born
sports scribe, constantly refers to
Joe as Alabama born, always being
careful to call that to his readers
attention.
Present plans call for a pleasure
tour of the country and barn
storming tour of Europe later. The
Baer fight earned Louis and his
managers about $4,000.

Alleged Potter
Against Physician
Is Found Sane

Thomas Absolves Doctor of Blame
A sanity hearing before Henne-

Donald ]. Bennyhoff Thursday, re-
suited in the release of John Ed
ward Thomas, 1929 First avenue

of having any connection with his
wife, Mrs. Leila Thomas, over

court commissioner Bennyhoff that
he had been informed that DR..
Brown had been seen with his wife,
but that after two weeks investi-
CATION, he had found out for him
self that such reports were err
roneous.
Thompkins, whose story to DR..
Brown and the police caused Thorn
as to be apprehended, repeated at
the hearing that Thomas had pur-
chased an ice pick with which he
intended, according to Thompkins,
to stab the physician.

had intended to harm the doctor or
that he had purchased an ice pick.
