"We're going ahead with plans

Abe's Big
Body JOe's
Target
BY EDGAR HAYES

Joe Louis has held his last box 4
ing session before his next defense
of his heavyweight title at Olym-
pia tomorrow night. Hel worked
four rounds before a packed house
at Dance Paradise yesterday after
noon and gave a broad hint as to
his plan of battle.
His opponent. Abe Simon, Is a
man towering to almost the size
of Primo Carnero, but with a not
too impressive record. In his final
workout. Joe crowded his SPAR
mates, Johnny -Withers- of Pom
tiae and George Nicholson of YeH--
kers. all the time they were in
the ring. He. kept right on top
of them and concentrated much
of his fire on their bodies.
A BIG TARGET
Simon will present big target
and Joe is likely figuring a bar
rage at the body will bring Abe's
head into focus. These tactics
were successful against Camera.
The last half of the final round
with Nicholson was the most VIC
ious part of the days work. Both
let go for a few rounds and threw
their Sunday punches. Big gloves
and head protectors prevented any
damage.
Joe looked in perfect condition.
He moved around the ring like
dancer and finished the workout
without taking a deep breath. Be-
sides the four rounds in the ring,
Joe did one round of shadow box
ing and then skipped rope before
calling il a day.

trained for an hour and then said

limbering up for tomorrow's ring
