Louis Life Story:
Joe Met All Corners

Tommy Farr, the loquaciouS
WelShman, was the Bomber's first
challenger. Farr was a veteran Of
the English boxing booths, clever
chap without a punch. But he
knew how to take care Of himself
and went Is rounds with Louis al
the Yankee Stadium two months
after the fall of Braddock.
Nathan Mann, hard Connecti-
cut heavyweight, tackled Louis al
Madison Square Garden in Feb
ruary, 1888. and was chilled ir
three rounds. Then followed the
Thomas affair in Chicago, lasting
less than five rounds.
The return match with Schmel-
ing in New York drew S1,015,012
That was the second and last mil
lion-dollar gate in which Louis was
involved. His encounter with Max

champion after his elimination of
.Schmeling from the title picture.
1t was more than six months be-
fore he returned TO action against
John Henry Lewis, who had re-
signed the light heavyweight title
in 1886.
Pacific Coast fight fans wanted
TO see Louis IN action as a cham
plon but the best opponent that
could be dug up for him in Los
Angeles was the veteran, Jack
Roper, who failed TO make even
a brief stand and passed out in
the first round

tered the ring with Louis on June

Former Assumption
in China

No one watches the progress OF
the war in China with more in
terest and anxiety than the stu
dents, faculty and alumni of
Assumption College, Sandwich,
Ont. Far away from the broad
campus of the college in a land
where the Chinese and Japs fight
for control is Benny Jacques.
Now he is Father Jacques labor
ing in the missionary field where
the going is always tough but al
most unbelievably so during this
terrible war. II was back in the
early 20's that Benny Jacques was
the star athlete of Assumption
College.
There was no sport in which he
didn't excel. Football, basketball,
hockey. baseball, in all of them he
was outstanding. An extremely
handsome blond, he weighed about
200 and was just under 6 feet. He
was born in United States but had
lived long in Canada.
This dual allegiance made him
a perfect choice for referee when
the American students played the
Canadians one Armistice. 1t was a
tough ball game with neither
team able to gain much ground.
Finally in the last few minutes
of play one of the Americans,
maybe il was the late Connie
Sheehan or Shag Shaughnessy,
broke loose for a long run down
the sidelines for a touchdown. But
it fell the sad duty of Benny 10
rule he stepped out OF bounds be-
fore reaching the final sirin ONLY

a man with his background could
have delivered such a verdict
without some argument.
Later Benny joined the faculty
and in due time became Father
Jacques. He never lessened his in
tereSt in athletics and no little
walk" penalty was ever handed
out that would interfere with a
students sports. When the time
came for permanent assignments,
Father jacques asked for the
hardest job they had 10 offer. He
hasn't been home in many years
but he still carries the prayers
and good wishes Of those who
played with and under him at
Assumption.
Another Assumption athlete in
China is Fr. Eddie Barron. In the
overseas service with the Cana
dian army is Fr. NJ. j. Dalton,
once star performer and later
coach at Assumption. In Ottawa
as a chaplain is Fr. Bob Lowrey,
one of the famed Lowrey brothers
who made sport history for Can
ada. One brother, Eddie, is coach
of the University of Michigan
hockey team. y
Father Bob played left halfback
in football and center ice in
hockey at Assumption. Later he
taught at st. Thomas College in
Houston, Tex, and enthused that
section of the country in his favor
tie sport, hockey. At one time
he had league OF six teams in a
land where ice was always kept
in tho hoy

Defended 7 Times

Dempsey fought only seven
times in defense of his title from
1919, when he defeated Jess Will
lard. until he lost 10 Gene Tunney
in 1926.
The betting against 10 or his &c
opponents ranged from 20 TO l to :
to /. Even Max Schmeliug, who
had knocked out the Bomber, was
on the short end of odds of 9 10 5
Thus has Louis outclaSSed his field
and the results Of those fights

we have been favored with the
Imildest winter in four years. Snow
