poached the preserved water all his life, and
was the terror of every bailiff for miles
around. On the old mans seventieth birth
day, the owners sent word that henceforth
he had their permission to fish their water
and would no longer be bothered by war
dens. This action so demoralized him that
he refused to go near the water for months.
When he seemed to be wasting away, his
wife persuaded the owners to withdraw
their offer of immunity, and he took up

Joe Louis (above), world heavyweight
champion, climbs through the hemp
at New York's Yankee Stadium to-
night to defend his crown for the
second time in three months. Hoping
to wear the gilded kelly home is Tami
Mauriello of the Bronx. The air fancy
coast-to-coast will hear the bout over
the ABC Network.
In Mauriello, the Brown Bomber
tangles with ringwise foe nearer his
own weight than Conn was and a
fellow who can really punch. Tami
has scored more kayoes than Louis.
His lightning left hook and smashing
straight right have sent 81 opponents
to dreamland via the knockout route.
