A testimonial fight night honor

July 81. Not only are the boys
gathering to honor Joe but they
plan to help him put some money
in his pocket, a place where he has
been struck foul blow or two
lately.
Prexy Clark Griffith is doing his
part by donating his stadium. After
conferring with Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez yesterday, Griff told him
to line up a good show featuring
local talent as much as possible.
Griff's idea is to call the affair
"Thirty-five years in sports with
Joe Turner" remembering how Joe
won the world middleweight rassling
crown in Washington back in 1906
at the Odd Fellows Hall. "Joe's one
of the grandest fellows I know"
Griffith said yesterday. IT'S too

MINNEAPOLIS, July 11-Picking
up some pocket change for Mime
sofa fishing and golf trip. Joe Louis
has a four-round exhibition num-
Der with Jimmy Robinson of Phila-
delphia here tonight.
Family and draft troubles put the
heavyweight boxing champion in q
good mood for real scrap He ex-
pressed disappointment that his
business department signed him UP
for pillow fight
But the date was made several
weeks ago before Joe Was stirred
first by divorce suit by his wife,
Marva, and next by sort of COM
panion gesture about the draft board
considering a higher se!ectee classif-
cation for the tltleholder
The boxing papers provide that
14-ounCe gloves be used, that the
bout be advertised as an "eXhibi-
ton that Louis title be not at
stake and some similar softening
provisions.
JoeS mood for battle was height
ened by stopoyer IN Chicago to
file his answer TO the divorce action,
saying he had not been q mean old
family man at all.
BY the time Louis finished that
procedure and checked up on his
draft status, the hot weather had
whipped him to fighting pitch.
"Chappy sure is in fighting
mood said Julian Black. one Of
his managers. Talk about killer in

brought some real talent and real
matches to Washington and he's
helped lots of worthy charities with
his benefit boxing and rassling
shows. He's also helped down-and-
out fighters without a word to the
newspapers. Here's an opportunity
to honor a man who is a credit to
our community"
Griffith said he hoped other per-
sons connected with the testimonial
would donate their services. al
though he doesn't expect the fight
ers to box for nothing. Griffith
conferred with Claude Owen Of the
District Boxing Commission who
also indorsed the idea, although so
far there has been no word from the
commission about waving the Gus

Despite his record dash, Banks
wasn't the big-money winner on

PLAN RECREATION

Members of the Stone Church
Service Club engaged in a thor
ough discussion of contemplated
program of recreation to be Spon-
sored by the club on Tuesday eve
nings of each week for the benefit
of the enlisted personnel stationed
here, at their regular meeting held
on Tuesday evening in the church
annex with President Harold
Laubscher, presiding. The mat
ter of turning over the clubs
SWITCHBOARD courts, table tennis
sets, checkers, chess and other
wholesome forms of recreation to
the service men was agreed upon
provided the Board of Trustees OF
the church favored the move. AT
meeting of the trustees held i'm
mediately following the Service
Club meeting, motion was unani-
mously carried approving the pro-
posed plan in its entirety.
Members of the club are to meet
with a group of the officers of the
Navy within the week to further
perfect plans for the program in
question.
Charles Lowe, guest of the
club, occupied the program Sec
ton of the meeting with a most
interesting and enlightening adj
dress on the subject of turtle fish
ing as carried on in the waters in
the vicinity of Nicaragua. During
the course of his remarks Mr.
Lowe gave several enlightening
facts on the living habits of the
turtle and brought out the fact
that a turtle, like the domesticated
cat, will always return to its home
if set free in any foreign waters,
citing instances where they have
been known to travel for a dis
lance of approximately 1000
miles in order to return to its
home waters.

Navy department officials in
Washington, according to Allen,
consider the city more as an op-
Grating base than as a strong
point in actual defense. The city's
isolation and the exposed route of
supply from here to the main
land will mean that Key Vests

its use as a base for submarines
and torpedo boats.

the Merry Go Round from his va

facilities of the United States, and
he's writing the stories from Key
