Louis Would Quit Ring
Unbeoten, Rich in al
By JOHN LARDNER.

Special correspondent Oh Inc ota1
NEW YORK, Dec. Is (NAN.A).-
It will be interesting to see If Joe
Louis can get away with the trick
he now is planning to pull-some-
thing no heavyweight champion
ever has got away with before.
Joe plans to knock out A, B, and
c in 1940-and maybe E and D. if
these unknown quantities sre avail
able. Then he will take a quick
look at 194l. If Mike Jacobs, his
overseer, can produce one final,
bang-up, big-money match, Joe will
take it, as much to pay his last re-
spects to Uncle Michael as for any
other reason.
Then he'll quit the business cold
and never fight again. That's the
plan.
You might argue that Gene Tun-
ney realized this heavyweight dream
of retiring undefeated, rich, and
all-conquering, but I wouldn't agree.
Mr.. Tunney was a two-f1ght cham
pion, who fought IN lucky age
when two fights we're enough to
win him million and a half dol
lars. He beat Dempsey for the title.
He defended against Dempsey. Then,
carefully snubbing such fairly dan
gerous merchants as Jack Sharkey,
he hand-picked himself farewell

ested in George. I used to wonder if it was wise. Because you're so young and alive-the way your mother was-"
 Her mother. She had died when Linda was a baby. Daddy seldom mentioned her, his grief and loss had gone too deep.
 George is a fine man, Linda. You know what I think of him as scientist and teacher. But when I saw you two together, sometimes, I had my doubts. refused to face them" He smiled in a wry way. T told myself that your youth and beauty were not as vulnerable as they seemed to me: I told myself you were enough my daughter to value Georges mind, his scholarly achievements. I was an old fool, my dear. You are your mothers daughter. She married me for no reason in the world except that we loved each other"
 Linda was weeping helplessly before he finished speaking. How correctly he had read her heartl She ached with love for him. But there was more to 1t than this. Much more. There were still those bombers, black against the sky; still Marcia, with her trusting brown eyes.
 T didn't want to lie to you, Daddy" she sobbed. But I couldn't bear to hurt you"
 Darling, 1t will always hurt me more cruelty to have you keep the truth from me. I'm your father. Surely I can understand anything that you feel is right. :"
 She didn't feel that those planes were right. She hated them. This other problem was one she must face and fight alone.
 Daddy didn't ask her what had precipitated her quarrel with George. All he said was, Come here, Linda" He kissed her fore head. Then he was holding her in his arms as he had held her on those long ago days when she had skinned knee or stubbed toe. My little girl. My dear, dear little girl"
 Rourke found them like that when she came in with the tray. "A fine mess!" she grunted. Get off that bed, girl" Grudgingly, she added, Go on, stay here if you want to- I'll be glad of a few min- utes away from this room. He's been grump as an old bear!"
 T won't be now, Miss Rourke," Daddy promised humbly. I'm very happy again. Happy and relieved"
 Get along with ye! Whatd you think the child had done, robbed a bank?"
 "I'll run downstairs and get Tiberius," Linda smiled, "Itll be like old times again."
 Bring up the manuscript from Milan, too," Daddy told her. T haven't looked at 1t since I've been in bed"
 The evening paper was lying on the hall table. Linda took that, too, on her way back upstairs. But Daddy waved 1t aside. Give me the manuscript"
 Rourke threatened to stay out half the night, seeing a movie over twice. T always see them twice, 50

I can remember better"
 'I1l be right here till you get back" Linda said.
 She fixed her fathers pillows, adjusted the bed lamp. She strengthened and tidied the room for the night, feeling g new and sweet peace pervade her. After Daddy was settled with his pre- cious manuscript, and miles away from her. she sat down herself and picked up the evening paper.
 Bad news. Bad news. She glanced at headlines impatiently, wanting not to connect them with the Navy or with Jimmy.
 Suddenly line of black type pumped up at her. Linda stiffened, her fingers crumbling the edges of the newspaper. She must be dream ingl But she had certainly read Jimmy's name.

At the end of every furrow Abel
would halt the horses, wipe his fore

throng gathered there, setting forth
the reasons why they should vote for

the story.
The whole thing amazed me, for I
know little about politics and the
ways of politicians. But what
amazed me most was the fact that
Abel was elected to the Office he
sought and Enoch made no further
attempts to oppose his candidacy.
Then. too. was astounded by the
fact that Enoch's broken leg mended
exceedingly fast, so fast that he was
able to be up and about without
even a limp two weeks after the
accident occurred. And one day
after the final election returns were
in I was surprised to discover that
Abel appointed Enoch as public
works commissioner directly follow
ing his Inauguration, which was as
fine a political plum as could be
handed out.
But most of all I was amazed at
what folks said, about the stories
that went around concerning an
earlier visit of Abel to the Enoch
farm and of an agreement the two
old men had. And from the very ma
ture of these stories 1 have decided
