Louis through his last II fights has

Yet Schmeling can telegraph
the news and still hit Joe with
right-hand punch any time he
decides TO let one loose.
Louis knew in advance that Max
had no left hand and that all he had
to watch was the sucker punch"
meaning the right. Yet he had no
more defense against this punch than
Ethiopia had against Italian airplanes.
Schmeling hit Louis with FIVE right

THIS is all right. you might say,
but what's the answer? Was
Louis careless and overconfident?
Probably. But even if he was. he
should have taken some warning from
those five rights that nailed him
through the first three rounds when
he was stabbing Schmeling with a
rapier left. Why should a fighter,
labeled by all the experts and the
diagnosticians as one of the best
boxers of many years. suddenly be-
come an open target for right hand
that had no left to feint or act in

To get this kind of percentage by

six wins in seven games from St

when the team hit Cleveland and
dropped three in row over the week

staged a five run splurge in the sec
ond inning, Galehouse had it easy.

that.
