offshore breeze.
No trace of six men, reported
on the ice, was seen by observers

lighthouse at Cedar river, rs

"The crack widcncd fast" Scidl
! said, "and the men were stuck
out there about seven miles from
shore. We sent out two big Skiffs
and brought them in, but We had
to abandon four trucks. However,
the weather has turned colder and
I'm sure the lake will freeze over
again within 4S hours so that we
will be able to pick up the trucks
then"
The Dyer brothers escaped by
cutting off a huge chunk of ice
with axes, throwing line to
shore ice and pulling their ice
cake ashore.

Louis Wins Heavyweight
Title By Knockout Over
Champion Jas. Braddock
Defending Title-Holder Puts Up Game Fight But Is
Overcome In Disaster; Lo uis Left Jab Is Damag-
ing to Braddock's Battle of Fists

Comiskey Park, Chicago, June %.
-(AE)-Joe Louis Won the heavy
weight championship of the world last
night by knocking out James j. Brad
dock in the eighth round of a IS
round match before an estimated
crowd of $4,000. Braddock, cut and
bleeding, was counted out after one
minute, 10 seconds after being floored
for the first time by a terrific right
smash to the head.
Louis, floored himself for no-count
as he slipped, and lost his balance
after taking a sharp right to the chin,
rallied to win the crown with an at
tack that had Braddock in a bad way
from the sixth round on. The cham
pion's left eye, mouth and face was
badly cut. He went down in a heap
after Louis landed the final shot that
crowned him as the second negro
champion in heavyweight history.
Braddock lost the title, in his first
defense after two-year lay-off He
gave a great exhibition for five
rounds but was no match for the ne
gro in punching power, once Louis
found the range.
The champion, weighed 1877 and
Louis 1877 Il.
The gate" was estimated at $780,
0JO
In stunning climax to the first
mixed match fer the big title in %
years, Louis came back from first
round knoclZdown to batter the de-
Tending champion into a bloody pulp
and 5ecame the second member of his
race ever to capture the most priced
crown in pugilism.
Braddock, game to the core and a
gallant fighter right down to the last
blow, collapsed and was counted out
by Referee Tommy Thomas just one
minute and 10 seconds after the
eighth round started.
