Smith Describes
Reactions AS
Louis Wins
By w. nj. Smith

Chicago, June %. - Joe Louis
champion heavyweight fighter of
the world! At long last! And that's
the whole story. And by now it
has been heralded to the entire
world. Doubts, fears and suspi-
cions swept away and for the sec
ond time in the history of the game
Negro has won the high sound
ing title.
The radio has carried, the coun-
try over, the details of those his
toric eight rounds in which a
worlds crown was changed from
the courageous and likeable James
Braddock to that of the equally
courageous and ikeable Joe Louis.
But even the story, as told in the
inimitable and magnetic phrase
ology of the only Edwin C. Hill,
could not recite all the exciting
highlights as they came to the on
locker.
1t was not told that Louis, in
his eagerness, fell from the force
of his own blow in the first round
but was up again so quickly that
many failed to see it. Nor was it
mentioned that water flew a foot
or more from the mouth of James
Braddock in that fatal eighth
round.
The splendid craftsmanship of
the great throng of spectators
could scarcely be described by the
commentator; it had to be seen to
be appreciated. Sentiment, of
course, carried the sympathy of
the major group to the losing
champion. But sympathy did not
deny to the winner his just need
of praise for his magnificent VIC
tory, his clean fighting and the
modesty that kept him from ex-
ulting over his losing opponent.
Nor could the radio pause to
comment upon the excellent spirit
and craftsmanship of the twenty
thousand of Joe Louis people who
witnessed, and fervently applauded,
his winning.
Contrary to expectations and the
f@ars of many people, both white
Ind black, there were no i'll after
effects. The colored people were
naturally rejoiced and in the streets

Six Hundred
View New Neal
st. Paul Home

Six hundred and sixty-one per
sons inspected the new Neal Flu
neral Home Sunday, June IS, at
its formal opening.
At 2 p. m. the st. Paul Ministe-
rial Alliance, led by Rev. w. E.
Guy, pastor of st. James A. M. E.
church, held short dedicatory ser
vices.
Huge bouquets of flowers were
sent to the home by well-wishers
of the firm.
Each person who visited the
home received some useful token
in honor of the occasion. Flowers
were presented the women.
Over $1,000 was paid to Negro

construction of the home, accord
ing to w. Squire Neal, president of
the firm.

those of any other bout.
Mind you, it was no easy job for
Louis. Braddock was dangerous
most of the way. Only the punch
ing ability and fighting sagacity
of Louis won this fight. Those
critics who said Louis couldn't
learn anything were COMPOUNDED
when Louis crossed them up by
evading the powerhouse right
fists which sports scribes have
repeatedly said he couldn't evade.
He fooled Braddock, often feint-
ing him out of position.
He fought cool, collected battle.
When Braddock fioored him in the
first round, thousands of us kins-
men of Louis gathered around the
ringside held our hearts in our
mouths.
We were glad when he leaped to
his feet and failed away with his
trusty young paws, fighting his
way out of danger to win the
round.
Joe Louis is champ and the col
ored people and many of the white
people, too, are glad for if ever
a man deserved the honors of the
championship, Joe does.
Negro notables from all parts
of America were gathered at the
ringside in the fight-world's most
colorful crowd.
