her, and we are going about it in
a way that should hearten every
Briton throughout the wosld. Just
as it was once said that Briatin
would fight to the last French
soldier, it may with equal truth be
said that she will now fight to
the last American soldier and
spend to the last American dollar.
Just as Britain is famous for
winning the last battle so Joe
Louis will go down in history ia
nous for winning that last round.
Joe may appear tired and clumsy
and slow-footed as they say, but
Joe sooner or later gets his man.
That is about all that could be
asked of a champion. Eos quite
10 years he has taken as they
came and without exception he
has handled them in most decisive
fashion. 1t is true that some of
the challengers lived to reappear
in the ring but they paid dearly
for it. There has always been a
killing for the man who entered
the ring the second time to fight
Joe Louis.
Jersey Joe Walcott deserves
worlds of praise for really stay
ing in the same ring with Joe
Louis for 25 sounds. 1t takes a
man to do this and as long as he
lives this should be one of Wal
colts cherished fistic laurels-
just staying in the ring with Louis
for 25 rounds. But even SO there
was that last round and the kill

ing! It has been said that you can
not whipe a man who will come
back for one more round. So
there is never safety in staying
in the ring with Joe Louis until
that last fatal round. Ten years
ago it was simply murder. 1t is
murder today.
Joe Louis is without doubt the
gseatest fighter who ever put on
boxing gloves. This writer remem-
bers a long line of champions
among them Bob Fitzsimmons,
Corbett, Jack Johnson, Dempsey
and all the rest; but Joe Louis
out-championed them all. All kinds
of fault have been found with
Louis fighting style and tactics.
He has been disparaged and gain
said and made light of by certain
sports writer's, but Joe always did
his killing that last round. Godoy,
Walcott and others tried to devise
methods of dethroning Joe Louis.
The best minds concentrated on
planning his overthrow but Joe
usually had the killing in that last
round.
This writes for one was fearful
for Joe during the last fight. 1t
looked for a while to be a repeti-
ton of the first Walcott-Louis
fight. But when Joe rose up to
smite Walcott the latter became
| just another victim Of a brutal
killing by one of the fiercest
| fighters the world has ever known.
Babe Ruth rejuvenated baseball
with his home runs and Joe Louis
rejuvenated boxing by his wicked
knock-outs.
And so Joe retires to the rest
and contest that he severity de.
serves. He brought another "ism''
to the American public already
afflicted with "isms." Lenin

world. Joe Louis and that last
round!
Old Jack Blackburn should
smile as he looks over the battle
ments of the other world to e
his protege winding up a great
career in a blaze of unexampled
glory. Joe has missed Blackburn
and Joe's admiress have missed
him too. Had Blackburn been liv-
ing, Walcott never would have re-
entered the ring with Joe Louis.
When Blackburn solved the oppos-
ing boxer and tipped "Chappie"
off, it was ust too sad! To the
tshes of great old Jack Black
burn! Blackburn's Chappie basks
in a world acclaimed glory!

In his talk at the meeting, a re-
view of the history of the state,
Mr.. deValinger laid constant en-
phasis on the struggles of genera
tiOns of early Delawareans to make
a separate unit out of the three
lower counties.
He spoke of the attitudes here
after Penn had annexed the three
lower counties and the growing re-
sistance to the situation when the
needs of the lower colonies were
consistently ignored. 1t was to the
growth of this feeling of independ-
ence. which Mr. deValinger attri-
buted the strong part which Della
ware delegates played in the Con-
stitutiOnal Convention of 1887.
People Had Misgiving
This feeling also caused some
misgivings among many people
when the state did become the first
to ratify the Constitution. Mr.. de-
Valinger quoted the remark of a
Pennsylvania who said, Delaware
has been the first to surrender the
liberties of her people" on hearing
news of the ratification. 1t took
years, he pointed out, for some peO-
pie to become convinced of the wis
dom of the step.
