ASSURED
FOR RASSLER COX
Joe's Popular Reign Here
Likely Up as He Faces
Champ 0'Mahony.

THE two-month reign which Joe
Cox has enjoyed at Turner's
Arena seems destined to end Thurs
day night when the Kansas City bull
tangles with Champion Danno O'Ma-
hony in the feature of the weekly
wrestling show.
Finally reaching his objective after
victories over Joe Savoldi, Ernie Du-
SEX. Joe Dusek, George Zaharias and
the bearded Sergei Kalmikoff, Cox no
doubt will leave local cauliflower cir
cles for q while after the pride of the
Irish brings his sturdy frame here to
be viewed by Washingtons mat
colony.
Cox will not depart from the scene
Of his most notable erapple conquests
without the following of a majority
Of local fans, however. Joe has given
spectators more action for their
money than the back-tracking former
champ, Jim Londos, and the present
colorless ruler, O'Mahony.
Title Not for Cox.
r EFUSING to accept a semi final
match on q card which was to
have featured O'Mahony with Ernie
Dusek, Cox apparently sealed his own
fate. When O'Mahony does relin.
quish his title prior to leaving the
United States in June, it will not pass
on to comparative unknown such as
Cox.
BY insisting on an opportunity to
face O'Mahony, Cox has paved the
way for the rise of another scramble
cared sensation" who probably will
throw the entire Dusek family and
then be thrown by the champion. It's
an inevitable, but nevertheless inter-
esting cycle which has packed the
arena every week.
Dynamite Gus Sonnenberg, former
world champion, will clash with Rusty
Westcoatt, Honolulu grappler, who Is
forced to remove his shoes before he
can administer his quota of punish
ment, in 45-minute semi final. Son.
nenberg is the perpetrator of the fly
ing Jackie, now part OF every WreS-
tiers repertoire.
In 30-minute preliminaries, Vic
Christy will oppose Scctty McDougall
and Jim Coffield will tackle a new
conner, Joe Campbell.
The free list will be suspended for
this match and ladies will be assessed
full price.

Calls Present Crop Weak.

great heavyweight champions
ended abruptly with Tunney'x retire
inent. He contends the current
heavyweight crop-excepting Louis
and Braddock-is so weak that a
third-rater in the days of Corbett,
Fitzsimmons and Jeffries would appear
to be a world-beater.
This has not been any fault of
Louis, who has been ready and willing
at all times to face any one," adds
Dickerson, "but such weakness has
made Joe appear a world-beater when
it might be only because he had so
little to overcome Louis has not
been called upon to meet q great
fighter like Tunney. Dempsey, Fitz-
simmons, Johnson or Jeffries. It is
not my contention that Louis might
not have been able to hold his own
with those great champions, but that
no athlete should be characterized as
almost unbeatable until he has won
over at least one opponent of unques-
toned class. Louis rapid rise has
been IN the weakest heavyweight field
during the last SO years.
Louis has q wonderful left hand
and punches well with his right, but
is not what might be termed q deadly
puncher. such as were Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons. He is a more clever
boxer than Bob Fitzsimmons, but not
as fast and clever as Corbett. Jim
was no doubt the fastest and most
clever boxer the heavyweight division
has ever known. Tunney was not SO
lightning fast as Corbett, but he was
o much harder puncher. No boxer
could be as fast as Corbett and at the
same time hard puncher Louis
glides, as did Jack Johnson"

TWO BIG BATTLES
NEEDED, ONE SET
Louis or SchmeIing Should
Face Winner of Second
Baer-Braddock Go.
BY ALAN GOULD.
A associated Press Sports Editor.

N YEW YORK, FEBRUARY zS.-
N More words than punches SO
VI far have been tossed into the
4 heavyweight melee for 1885.
Joe Louis is slated definitely to fight
Max Schmeling in the enlarged YAM
kee Stadium this June, in what all
concerned trust will be another mil
lion dollar show, but the lineup 9TH
erwise is highly speculative while the
boys emerge from Winter quarters Tor
Spring vocal training.
At long range it is possible to dis
Germ the curly head of Max Baer In
the picture. Not only has the Cali
fornian been making comeback geS-
lures, but the idea is developing that
he may wind up with return title
match against Champion James j.
Braddock. Tied up with this Is the
idea that Louis. regardless of the out
come of his match with Schmeling.
may not be in any rush about fighting
for the championship. The well known
fact remains that Braddock is tied up
with Madison Square Garden for this
year, while Louis has long con-
tract with Mike Jacobs, head Of the
rival Twentieth Century Club.
OF course the logical way to settle
the whole argument would be to stage
the is-Schmeling and Baer-Brad-
dock affairs so that the winners could
be matched in September. but logic Is
not always applied to such moment
Gus proceedings.
Still Question Louis Greatness.
MEANWHILE, I gather from our
old friend. Ed Dickerson OF
Grand Rapids. that the pugilistic old
guard, which he so ably represents, Is
not vet satisfied Joe Louis deserves q
super rating among the heavyweights
Of all time.
Dickerson. who refereed many great
fights and has been in the game 40
years, quotes q thorough going in
dorsement of Louis from the pen OF
Gene Tunney. but counters with his
own contention that the Brown
Bomber has yet to show what he can
do against first-class opponent.
Tunney'S views, as given To DICK
erson recently. follow:
II think Louis Is a great fighter.
liked the way he licked Carnera and
the way he fought Baer. Those are
the only times I have seen him. It
will take a good fighter to hit him
Therefore, I do not think he will be
hit. He might easily 60 down in
history as the greatest fighter that
ever lived. Te certainly seems to
have everything"
From this it may be concluded that
the retired, undefeated world cham
pion shares Dickerson's view that
- Louis is in a class by himself at
present, with the possible exception
Of Jimmy Braddock. who softened up
and defeated Max Baer before Louis
foleht him."
