and did not come out until IL 100
time, Editor of the Mcdowell
Times and wife were admitted
into his palatial, sweet rooms in
the Capehart hotel where they
were permitted to shake hands
and talk with just a few minutes
with the worlds heavyweight
champion - "The Worlds Joe
Louis" They found him anus
ing and interesting himself play
ing a graphophone, while a
crowd of more than 200 eager
fans stood outside the hotel It'll
past midnight hoping to catch a
glimpse of the Brown Bomber.
A larger crowd waited Monday
morning and after breakfast
the champion came out into the
street, where he gave numerous
autographs, posed for snapshots
and moving picture.
This was the first time that
a current champion boxer has
ever visited Wech, and WEIGH
was the first West Virginia
town in which he stopped on his
tour. The present tour began
four days after the Schmeling
fight, against tn protests of
Roxborough and Black, his CO.
manages, who were responsible
for Louis being in bed at the
hotel in Welch by 1920 Sunday
night.
Negroes and whites alike join
ed in the excitement of the
champions visit to WEIGH. H. j.
Capehart, prominent colored
attorney of WEIGH, acted as the
official host for the champion
during his stay, and was largely
responsible for securing the
game here Sunday.
An amusing incident occurred
when Attorney Capehart hear
ing of the bus breakdown and
having started out to bring the
champion an his team to Welch
in private cars met the bus at
Landgraff-it having been re-
paired. The champions body
guards refuse to let him talk to
Louis for a f e w minutes dur
ing which Attorney Capehart
was able to establish his identity
to the guards satisfaction.
His bodyguards dress in soft
ball uniforms and are with Joe
constantly. 1t is expected that
Louis will tour until the fall,
when he will begin light work
outs leading up to the four
championship fights which are
scheduled for the coming year.

Heavyweight Champ Plays In

There was a soft ball game at
Blakely Field Sunday night but
that didn't matter much to near
5000 persons who crowded into
the ball park to get glimpse of
Earring Joe Louis, world heavy
weight boxing champion w h o

The Final score was 20 to 3 in
favor of Joe's team.
equal to the champions crew but
The Coawood team wa s no
nobody seemed to care. All they
wanted to do was get glimpse
of tn e heavyweight boxing
champion, who recently defend
cd his title by knocking out Max
Schmeling, of Germany in the
first round.
Joe played nearly all of the
game, starting off at first base.
He played short-stop third base
and pitched the last inning.
He is quite a hitter, smashing
out two home runs and a single
in five trips to the plate.
The Brown Bombers, crowded
into the background by Louis,
are fine ball players and might
have held the Coalwood team
scoreless but they started
easing up" after the fifth inn
ing and allowed five runs.
The Bombers hit six home
runs, eight doubles and three
triples while the Coalwood team
got two doubles and a home run.
Spikes, the Coalwood third
sacker, got the home run in the
seventh inning with one man on
the bases.
There was a fine crowd out to
pay tribute to the champion. He
did not arrive until a short time
before the game, being delayed
between Princeton and Bluefeld
because of trouble with his bus.
When the champs bus finally
arrived at the park, the crowd
went wild. An even greater ova-
tion was sent up by the crowd
when he was introduced to the
crowd by Joe Travis, local attor-
neX, who was also acting manag-
er Of the Coalwood team.
The playing space was roped
off but many persons got thru
to the champion. He was swarm
ed under by the autograph seek
ers and persons who wanted to
shake hands with him.
After the game Joe made a
dash for his automobile, going
to the Capehart hotel straight
from the park. He and his team
stayed overnight at the hotel
going on to Charleston Monday
morning.
Even at the hotel several
hundred people followed him but
his managers, who always insist
that he get his sleep, would not
modest him.
Word of a bus breakdown was
received at Welch about three
hours before game time. Atty
Harry j. Capehart, through
whose efforts Lous was brought
to WEIGH, and Bill Board
Smith, colored representative
of Standard Oil Company, got
five automobiles and started out
for the champion and his team

of the game, Louis made a bolt
for the gate, in order to avoid
being caught in a surging mob

appearances. 81
