WHO MEETS LOUIS
is THE QUESTION
Jersey Joe Walcott Or
Melio Bettina May Be
Opponent

NEW YORK, April 16-R)-Joe
Baksi's refusal to sign for a bout
with Joe Louis this year following
his impressive seventh . round
knockout of Bruce Woodcock in
London last night has left the
Twentieth Century Sporting club
with no alternative but to sign
either Jersey Joe Walcott or Mello
Bettina to meet the heavyweight
champion at Yankee Stadium on
June 26.
Sol Strauss, acting director OF
the club during promoter Mike
Jacobs illness, expects to huddle
here either tomorrow of Friday
with Louis and his co-manager
Marshall Miles, and it appeared
possible that either Walcott, the
veteran Negro, of Bettina, a south
paw, would get the nod within a
matter of days.
Louis declared last night in San
Diego that he was prepared to
announce his retirement unless a
title defense was arranged for him
this summer.
Joe said that if he retired he
would accept an offer to enter the
insurance business in Detroit, his
home town. He said he would leave
for New York Immediately after
he had filled an engagement to
referee a wrestling match in San
Diego.
A spokesman for the Twentieth
Century said Strauss would well
come an immediate conference
with Louis. Since Baksi's refusal
to accept either a spring or fall
date with the champion, Strauss
was understood to be giving Wal
colt and Bettina about equal con-
%sideration for the June bout for
which Louis is committed.
