Louis Is ReUeAIed rs
Truly Great Champion

He hung on those covered hempen
strands beaten beyond all recall
The work of finishing the task
was soon done.
The triumph of Louis was com
plete in every detail. He domi
mated the ring from the lnoment
he entered until his deliriouS sec
ondS led him victorious through
the cheering crowd that hailed
his victory.
Louis made the fight as he
wished. He tore into Schmeling
at the tap of the gong and crashed
a left jab to the face. The Ger
mans head snapped back, Louis
jabbed again, hooked his left Lc
the jaw, and smashed a right tc
the head.
A look of amazement flashed
across the Germans face as thai
terrible left landed. A nook fol
lowed, smashing home to the tar
get as a striking rattler finds its
mark. AmaZement fled, and an
expression that bordered upon hor
ror took its place.
Whatever plans Schmelng
might have had for the fight were
knocked into a cooked hat. He
could not fight. He could not
even defend himself. He was a
child in arms against a fighter
who last night reached a peak
seldom if ever achieved by any
other ring man Of recent memory

The thing that appeals to me
so strongly is the thousands of
people packed in the galleries.
AS you stand up and look back
at those thousands Of little
white specks in the darkness,
you see endless flashes Of light
Suddenly you realize what
you actually see now are human

encased in those little white
blurs in the distance is a living,
burning flame given to each
and everyone of these people: a
spark and a glory that would
far outshine the twinkle Of the

to see beyond the protective

other one out. {. Yes, the fight
was interesting, but to me the
most aweinspiring sight and the
most impressive was the miracle
of this great crowd; the miracle
of the human race, reaching its
height and taking its awful fall
and always picking itself up and
struggling.
MIDST OF DOUBT
The excitement is intense, one
man saying Louis is going to
win and another placing huge
bet on Schmeling Sinister

bleeding on the floor. The count
had reached five when Donovan
saw that Schmeling was hope
lessly beaten, and that another
punch might result in serious in
jury if not a fatality.
Max Machon, trainer Of the
Teuton Schlager, tossed towel
into the ring as Eddie Joseph,
knockdown timer, pounded the
floor of the ring for the third
time. The towel is not accepted
in New York State as admission
of defeat, but Donovan needed no
prompting from the corners. Nor
did the crowd 1t was obvious
that Schmeling stood no more
chance with Louis than a lamb
would stand in a lions den.
The finishing punch was right
hand drive to the chin that curved
over the defenseless Schmeling'S S
left shoulder. The Germ n
pitched on his face, falling with
a thud. He bounced-literally
bounced, and rolled over. A bull
let would not have brought about
a more complete result.
Twice before the final knock
down Louis smashed his rival to
the canvas. The first came
shortly after l minutes and 80
seconds of fighting. 1t was a
right to the jaw that followed a
terrible left hook-a left hook that
equalled the devastating power Of
the mighty Jack Dempsey.
STRUGGLED TO FEET
Stricken to his very life stream,
Schmeling forgot the lore Of ages
in the ring and struggled to his
feet at the count of three. He was
an open target for the right that
followed with such speed that the
red leather blurred in the vision.
This time Max rolled over and
staggered to his feet as the timer
counted one.
Schmeling did not strike one
blow in his quest for the title he
had won while sitting on the floor
Of the ring, claiming foul in 1880.
Not only did he fail to strike a
punch, but he let only one punch
go. AS Louis walked in Stabbing
with his left lab. Schmeling
crossed a right. Joe, alert for this
expected counter, rode the punch,
and as it grazed his chin, the
panther.like negro glided inside,
and ripped a rightcross counter
to the jaw.
Schmeling reeled to the ropes,
and then followed the punch that
won the fight. Even the three
knockdowns were incidental.
Louis tented with his left and
shot a snaky jab through the
feint. Stepping in swiftly, the
bomber hurled right swing that
landed over Schmeling's kidneys.
The Germans jaw dropped. His
face twisted into frightful mask
of pain and agony that could not
be suppressed.
ATTEMPT TO SPEAK
He looked at Arthur Donovan
and his lips moved. Some of the
crowd could see his efforts to
speak and thought Schmeling had
claimed a foul.
Fight, you German bum; go
on and fight" roared the crowd
that did not understand the
Significance of the moment.

And here I am in the very
midst of this wonderment and
doubt, feeling like a poor little
ant must feel when 1t looks up
at some humans feet coming
down on 1t.
To me a prize fight is always
a remarkable sight, as the men

he has to use a pair of field
glasses to even see the ring
that l wonder about How
much does his family have to
give up, how many pleasures
will his wife and children have
to 60 without so he can sit here
for comparatively a few min
utes and see two men hopping
around the ring, each one pray
ing that he can knock the other
one flat.
FORGET DEPRESSION
And then again I think Of
our depression. Suppose each
and every one of us here to-
night would give what we paid
for our fight tickets Think
how many children we could
feed, how many women we
could help through their hard
time seriously wonder
about this talk of the awful
depression we are going through.
Another curious thought has
just struck me. We are all
seated and looking up at that
little tiny square brilliantly
lighted, surrounded by ropes,
where the battle is going to
take place Now I wonder
how many of us would sit in
our seats and be contented II,
instead of these two boxers, q
man should get up in this little
arena and announce he was go
ing to give us Sermo1- on God.
1 wonder how many would stay.
In the first place, most Of the
people would demand the money
back on their tickets, and the
ones that didn't would simply
get up and go home or go to a
night club.
WHY THE TURNOUT
Why is it the human race has
turned out from time imme-
mortal to see fighting, to see
martyrs burned at the stake, to
see bull fights, and, in fact, to
see anything that they called
exciting, and yet they never
have and simply won't go to
one-third Of the trouble they
take to put on these shows,
when they think they are going
to be lectured to or shown the
right way to live.
Queer thoughts to have at the
ringside of a prize fight, but
then queer thoughts are interest
ing and as a rule there Is no
answer to them.
