Joe Louis PIeases
Fight Fans Here

Many Local IL members who
witnessed the Joe Louis boxing
exhibition, Monday night in the
Civic Auditorium, are of the
opinion that the champion of the
world is, still the best fighter to-
day. Although the Brown Bomb
er looked like the world is good
to him and apparently is eating
very regularly, the slight over
weight which he carries can be
worked off in time for his next
defense of the title. A.
A packed house greeted Louis
as he d ance and shuffled
through four interesting rounds
against youthful Art Swiden OF
New Kensington, Pa.
BY far the most entertaining
bout on the program was that
between Irish" Jimmy Sanders,
Warren, Ohio, and Ted Bussey
of Detroit. These two welter-
weights boxed and slugge
through ten bruising rounds,
with Sanders getting the unani-
nous decision of the judges.
However, the bout was very
close, with Sanders get t ng
stronger as the fight progressed,
to overcome an early lead built
up by the clever Negro Bussey.
The other bouts on the card
were we'll received by the figkI
fans who went to the fighE.
mainly to see the heavyweight
champion but were treated to
an outstanding boxing show Of
fered by the Star Boxing Club
and matchmaker Sid Goldberg.
The boxing show did a lot to
bring professional boxing in To-
ledo back to the old standards
when this city was known to
support good fistic cards. During
the last several years, boxing in
Toledo has been at a low ebb,
due mainly to the influx of out
of-town racket promoters.
Local IL members who are
fight fans will continue to pa
tronize fight shows if they are
staged for the entertainment of
the fans but when they get to
the stage that they are phoney
shows for the monetary gain of

son of Larry Gilbert who
played with the 1914 Braves
has been with the Dodgers,

left handed batter, returned

record he ever compiled IN
his baseball career.
,Gilbert's 1862 average was
the second best in the South

In addition, he established
two league records, one for
scoring the most runs with

ence between the two flghtlng
teams. Del Taylor accounted
for welve of the WHY'S
points as he hit the hoop con-
sistently for the scores, Rick
Kozydan played bang-up game
for the losing Nationals as he
played a fine floor game besides
chalking up six points for his
team.
In other National Division
games, the Toledo Scales got
back into the win column as
they dropped Schultz Die Cast
ing, 53 to 35, in a game which
featured the stellar playing of
Bill Ellis, former star of Whit
mer High School. Ellis started
slowly, but found the range dur
ing the second half and sank
the ball for a total of 19 points
for the winning Scalemen. Ger
aid Palmer, the classy player
manager of the Die Casters out
fit, showed plenty of stuff as he
garnered seven markers for the
Schultz score.
AutO-Lite Unit Wins
The Auto-Lite Unit poured 1t
on to the Spicer Unit five as the
Lites took a 'lop-sided contest by
the score of 81 to 81. The Spicer
team was hampered by the loss
of several regular players, due
to sickness and Manager Harvey
Robedeau had to use some of his
second and third string players.
Joe Horvath and Ken Ostrand-
er both went we'll for the Auto.
Lites and each accounted for
eleven points to help in the vic
tory. Bob Aultman, however,
was high scorer in the game as
the classy center collected a to-
tai of 16 points to add to the
Spicer score. Aultman's efforts
were in vain as the Auto-Lites
presented a team that was just
too powerful for the hapless Spi-
cerites.
The Surface Combustion sur
prised the American Division
fans by turning in victory over
the powerful American Floor
Unit by the score of 40 to 80.
The Surface players started the
game with rush and took an
early lead which they kept
throughout the entire game. The
Surface team led the Floormen
% to Is at the half. Pinciotti
played good floor game for
the losing American Floor Unit
and was high scorer of the con-
test as he scored 20 points for
his outfit. Paul Kornowa got IL
points for the winning Surface
Combustion outfit.
American Division Scores
Other American Division re-
suits were as follows: The To-
ledo Joint Council made it three
straight victories as they out
played a determined Martin
Parry team and took a we'll
earned verdict, 40 to 38. Byron
Ferris ran wild for the Tee Jay
Gees as he galloped up and down
the floor while he scored 20
points for the winners. The Mar

The Plaskon Division switched

Coast-to-Coast N Net
Now Held Possible BY
Using Plane Relays
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 6.-Coast- to-
coast television using high flying
airplanes now is possible.
The Westinghouse Electric Corp.
announced today it has solved major
technical problems linking airplanes
and television for greater broad
casting range.
And, Westinghouse said, the air
borne method of telecasting is ready
for commercial development"
It issued a preliminary report on
the engineering phases of strato-
vision, as the system is called, de-
scribing it as practical and useful
method of expanding television and
other high-frequency communica-
ton" such as static-free FM broad
casting.
Westinghouse announced that
there are no longer any technical
restrictions which will prevent the
use of stratovision broadcasting" to
provide:
l. A coast-to-coast television and
frequency modulation network.
2. Expanded TV coverage for the
millions of rural listeners who will
be unable to receive television pro-
grams for years, If ever, with con-
ventional television methods"
3. A military communications sys-
tenn independent of ground condi-
tions.
4. A network system for trans
mitting TV programs simultaneously
to audiences assembled in theaters
or other public places throughout
the country.
