Busy Ring Days
BY CLAYTON HEPLER

With Michigan and Nevada the
only states in which fights are
permitted TO 60 20 rounds, it's
seldom a champion ever trains for
that distance. Joe Louis has done
liz twice, here in Detroh, although
the fights didn't go the route.
And il was only when Louis be-
gan his "bum-of- the-month' cam
paign that a champion forsook
his perogative Of defending his
title more than once or twice a
year. It's pretty soft for them
now.
But little Johnny Coulon, the
former bantamweight champ, set
some sort of a record when he
defended his title twice within
two weeks, going the full 20
rounds each time

Coulon, who became champ by

Labor exerts great influence
through organization, he added, and
lit is in the interest Of good govern

equally representative and unified
as to policy, not for the purpose OF
selfish interest, but to aid in seeing
that agriculture is given a square
deal and that the same thinking OF
rural people is felt in deciding the
many important issues that are
affecting the public generally.
