Louis Exhibition Tops
Ray Fight Show Here;
Fox, West Victors

World Heavyweight Champion Joe
Louis, who announced a conditional
retirement last week in a memo TO
Promoter Mike Jacobs of New York
apparently isn't giving up fighting
entirely. The champ is booked for
a six-round exhibition-opponent or
opponents yet to be named-on Sep
tember 20 at Griffith Stadium. This
was announced from the ringside
here last night. preceding the Billy
Fox Johnny Colan 10-rounder won
by Fox
His exhibition will be sponsored
by Liberty A.. c. and Promoter
Goldie Ahearn. Underneath Louis
exhibition will be fight involving
Elmer (ViolenD Ray and an op-
ponent yet to be named. Archie
Moore is likely candidate for that
spot.
In okaying the Louis exhibition,
the District Boxing Commission re-
versed a stand taken against future
exhibitions following an unsatisfac-
tory showing by Rocky Graziano,
then world middleweight champion,
last summer.
New Rule Was Rejected.
A regulation was written into the
commission rule book against fu-
ture exhibitions. but it failed to get
an okay from the District Commis-
sioners. Chairman Heinie Miller of
the Boxing Commission said the
Louis show was okayed because it
involved such a popular and pleas
ing fighter and also as shot in the
arm to local fighting which has
been hurt this summer by cancelia-
ton of two Ezzard Charles dates be-
cause of illness. Charles now is
scheduled to fight here under
Variety Club auspices on Septem-
Der 13.
F'oX's victory over Colan last night
was booed by many of the 1880
customers, not because Fox didn' t
win by fair margin, but because
of the somewhat foul tactics used
Hitting after the bell and on the
break was frequent by both fighters
with Fox doing most of it. 1t was
rough braWl all the way. Colan
had nice left jab and plenty of
speed and heart, but he didn't have
Fox's artillery. Colan was hurt on
several occasions, particularly in the
last round when he was sent to the
deck for nine-count by vicious
left jab. He was up and lasted, but
barely.
Jones Kayoed Early.
A cofeature scheduled for 10 ended
in y seconds of the fourth when
Sonny Boy West, District light
weight, stopped Herbie (BifD Jones,
also Washington boy. with solid
right uppercut. Jones previously
was foored twice in the third.
In other matches. all good, Jackie
Ford decisioned Bobby Suma. Burt
Wicks got a technical knockout over
Walter Hall in the third and Puggy
Lyons did the same to Burt Wicks
in the second. All were local boys.

the opener against Wake Forest

A true estimate of the caliber

gained by noting the changes in

II you make it yourself - they'll
like it more. Yes, it's true :.
people appreciate homemade gifts
They realize that anything you
make yourself captures some of
your own personality. Therefore,
when you send a homemade gift,
you are really giving something of
yourself. What could be a nicer
present for those we love!
There is so much room for in
dividuality in a homemade remem=
brance. For example. jams and
jellies as gifts are appreciated any
time of year - but really treasured
at Christmas time - and they can
be made In so little time. Yet,
what could be more appropriate,
for the jars may be decorated to
convey the full meaning of the
Christmas Spirit. Try wrapping
some in transparent eellophane and
see how pretty your jelly jars will
become with the preserved sweets
