Joe Louis Blasts His
Way Towards Fistic Top
By Defeating Levinsky
Hamlet Rowe Gives HighIights of Fight

obvious that the most biased man
ayers and promoters viii not per-
NIT their prejudices to interfere
with their financial betterment;
it is the opinion of this writer that
Louis is sure to get crack at the
title.
While waiting for the main
event, and still in a reminiscent
mood, we recall that it was in
this ball park that we saw Young
Jack Thompson, Aug. 30, 1928,
knock out Champion Joe Dundee
in the third round of a non-title
bout; and again we remember that
it was in Chicago that we saw
the late Tiger Flowers robbed of
his middleweight crown, when
Referee Benny Yanger gave the
verdict to Mickey Walker at the
conclusion of their 10-round fra
cas-, also that it was here in Chi
cago that we saw Jack Dempsey a
victim of long count by Referee
Dave Barry; while waiting for the
gong to start Louis and Levinsky
on their way in their 10-round
bout, we cannot help from recall
ing those unfair incidents, all
happening here in Chicago. We
cannot brush aside the veil that
obscures our vision from the
things of the future, but it is our
belief that Joe Louis will not be
victim of a bum decision to-
night, for like Sam Langford, the
Brown Bomber" will take into
the ring with him tonight his
own referee, his mighty dukes;
Louis terrific blows are his
greatest assurance of fair de-
cision. We won't have to worry
about the outcome much longer,
for it will only be a short time
before tonight's battle will be a
matter of history.

of elimination, who should earn
the right to meet Jack Dempsey
for the heavyweight champion
ship of this world, we were one
of the 10000 persons in that
gigantic fistic bowl that memo
rable night, who saw Wills give
Firpo the worst beating of his
career in that 12-round bout, which
went the limit; tonight's fight
parallels that encounter in many
respects; in eliminating Firpo,
Wills removed from his path the
outstanding fighter who stood be-
tween him and Champion Demp-
sey; it is a matter of history that
Wills never realized his ambition
to fight for the heavyweight title.
Tonight Joe Louis, in his on
ward march to force Braddock into
a battle for the championship,
will essay to eliminate Levinsky
and subsequently blast Schmeling
and Baer from the picture. AS
in the case of Wills, will history
repeat? Ny answer is in the
negative; the present economic
condition of the fight game pre-
cludes the possibility of a box
office attraction like Joe Louis
being denied an opportunity to
fight for the championship of the
heavyweight division; during the
time Wills was fighting, big gates
and large purses were frequent,
but after the defeat of Dempsey
and the retirement of Tunney, in
terest in boxing almost became
nil; Joe Louis, with his tremen-
dous crowd-appeal, has revived in
terest in fistic affairs, so it is quite

Man Shot, Two
Held By Mill
City Police
WOMAN TAKES BLAME THEN
CHANGES STORY

One man is near death following
a shooting at a north Minneapolis
home Monday, and a man and a
woman are being held in the city
Jail.
The wounded man is William or
John Wright, home address I'M
known, who was shot at GIG Jewett
Place, following an alteration
with Mrs. Ida Gilbert, 26, of that
address.
Conflicting Reports
When questioned by the police
shortly after the shooting Mrs.
Gilbert, who is also known by her
maiden name Jones, told detec-
tives that she shot him right after
he made indecent proposals to her.
In her first statement she said that
she shot him and would shoot him
again. Arrested with her was
Henry Williams, roomer at the
same address, who was held for
questioning.
Stories Conflict
The story told by Williams and
the story told by Mrs. Gilbert did
not compare so police continued to
hold them for two days after their
arrest. Finally Williams admitted
shooting Wright in defense of the
woman. According to Williams he
shot Wright in the house as he
ran out into the street. Mrs. Gil
bert fired another shot in his direc-
ton, but Williams does not think
that this shot took effect. Wright
was found to have only one bullet
wound.
After Woman Attempts to Shield
Man
After police received Williams
second statement in connection
with the shooting, Mrs. Gilbert was
confronted with the statement and
she admitted that Williams came
to her defense and that her first
story was not true, that she had
simply sought to take the blame
in the case.
Wounded Mans Condition Serious
William Wright, the wounded
man, who is also known as John
Wright, whose home is in Dallas,
Texas, remains in serious condi-
ton in the City hospital. Thursday
several blood tranfusions were
necessary to keep him alive.
