cago. Both Walcott and Charles
have agreed to the June match,
Louis stated, ana ii was stated
that whoever wins the Walcott-
Charles bout will fight either Lee
Savold, the foreign boxer or Gus
Lesnevitch, present l:ghtheavy-

In retiring from the ring. Joe
Louis has kept the promise he
made to his mother, Mrs. Lille
Barrow of Detroit, and answered
the prayers of millions of his fol-
lowers who have not wanted him
to continue defending Mis- title un-
til "old age" caught up. with him.
Joe Louis, who begaA his pro-
fessional career as a Hoxer back
in 1884, with a one-ropnd knock
out of Jack Kracken and ended
it last June IS with a knockout of
Jersey Joe Walcott, chalked up
the remarkable record over four
teen-year stretch of engaging in a
total Of 61 fights, scoring a total
of 81 knockouts, winning eight
fights by decisions and losing only
one fight in the 14-year period.
The one blot on Joe's 14-year
record was erased by Louis in the
one fight of his career in which
according to Louis, he hated his
opponent. Max Schmeling who
knocked Louis out in - rounds
on June 19, 1886, got a return en-
gagement on June %, 1898 and
Louis disposed of the naughty
German in just one round. Louis
is reported to have hated Schmel-
ing for two things; Schmeling was
a Nazi given to spouting the race
claims of the German
Nazis, and according to Louis
Schmeling hit Joe after the bell
had sounded in an early fight.
Louis made vow that Schmelins
would not get a chance to hit
him between rounds in their sec
ond fight and kept his VOW.
Between the first ana second
fights Louis had with Schmeling.

Joe LOUIS RETIRES As GREATEST
RING CHAMP OF ALL TIMES

Chicago. HI. - Joe Louis, great
est heavyweight champion of all
time. announced in Tampa, Fla,
Tuesday of this week his retire
ment and also stated that he will
promote a cham pionship fight be-
tweed the two most prominent
heavyweights in the country for
The heavyweight title.
Jersey Joe Walcott of New
Jersey and Ezzard Charles of Gin
cinnati both capable colored
fighters have been selected by Joe

summer battle for the champion
ship. The fight it is announced
VIII take place next June in Chi
The southern news., 1949-03-26

on any fighter whom anybody con-
tended deserved a chance at the
title. Louis prowess as a boxer
is attributed to his good fortune
in having the great Jack Black
burn as his trainer. The trio of
Blackburn, Black and Roxborough,
the latter managers of Louis,
mapped out for Louis a course of
action both in and outside the
ring that made him not only the
greatest champion of all time, but
a model in sportsmanship and
public behavior.
Louis defended his title a total
of 25 times during his 11-3 ear
reign as heavyweight champion
In a number of these fights he
was meeting a boxer who was
coming back for a second chance
and in all cases Louis disposed of
such rivals in much quicker time
than in the previous fight.
Louis is said to have made moro
than three and half million dol
lars out of his fights. Unfortun-
ately for him he came along at a
time when the income tax collec-
tors We're taking the liens shake
Of all the money he earned. Other
expenses, together with Louis
generosity with his kindred and
friends made a big drag on the
met earnings of the champion.
However Louis contends that he
is a long way from being broke
and is able to live comfortably in
his old age off what he has saved.
In retiring as an undefeated
champion, Joe Louis is following
in the footsteps of two other
world heavyweight champions -
James J. Jefferies and Gene Tun-
ney. Jefferies retired in 1905 but
was induced to re-enter the ring
as a white hope" after Jack
Johnson had become champion.
Jefferies, however was knocked
out by the crafty Jack Johnson
in a memorable fight on July 4,
1910. The fight went Is rounds
Gene Tunney after beating Jack
Dempsey in 1926 to win h e
championship defeated Dempsey
again the following year. Tunney
after one fight in 1928 hung up
his gloves for good.
1t is certain if Louis continues
to go a bout the country giving
boxing exhibitions there will be
quite a clamor for him to fight
again. But apparently he will not
heed these demands. He apparent
ly intends to rest on his laurels
of the most active champion of
all time and the man who held
the title longer than any other
man.
The Tunney Dempsey fight in
Chicago in 1927 drew a total of
$2,650,000 and was the biggest
paying bout of all time The Joe
Louis-Billy Conn bout in Yankee
Stadium, June 10, 1916 was the
second biggest-paying fight. 1t
brought in $1.925. 5.565.
Two colored boxers got cracks
at Louis title during his 11-year
championship reign. John Henry
Lewis was the first. Louis knock
ed John Henry out in one round
on January 25, 1899. The other
colored boxer was Jersey Joe Wal
colt who stayed Is rounds with
the champion. Dec. 5. 1347. In the
return engagement the champion
knocked out Jersey Joe in II
rounds, This was on June 25
1913.

Heart Disease Will Kill $4,000
In Us This Year, Many Negroes

The following thoughtful article
James Lowell Hall. DR.. Hall. form
erIy director of clinics at Provi-

head of the department of medi
cine at Howard university and su-

BY James Lowell Hall
This week is National H e a r
week. 1t should be a week of
great significance to all Ameri-
cans because heart disease is the
greatest menace to public health
in the United States today, and
Stands first in the list of cause
of death.
Heart disease will kill approx
mately 625,000 Americans in 1949,
a disproportiopate large number
will be Negroes. Tt win account
for about three. times as many
deaths as it's nearest rival, cancer.
1t viii take more lives than the
next five leading csuase of death
- cancer, accidents, nephritfs,
pneumonia, and tuberculosis COM
bined.
Since the heart is the toughest
and strongest of all vital organs
why is it that heart disease is
SO prevalent, and why does it kill
SO many people? A few of the
more important answers are as fol-
lows:
First unlike many diseases,
such as tuberculosis heart disease
is not due to a single cause but
is due to many different causes
and there are many different
types. 1t strikes not from the cra-
die to the grave, but from the
womb to the grave
Secondly, the heart works day
and night, in sickness and in
health as long as life lasts, and
the only time it can rest is be-
tween beats. It must pump daily
nine to 10 tons of blood. 1t is
the hardest working organ in the
body, yet, if it is not abused it
s truly a marvel Of efficiency
and endurance.
Thirdly, as the length of life is
prolonged, hardening of the ar
teries Cor arterfoscferosis) is in
evitable. Since arteriosclerosis is
the cause of most heart disease
of old age and since we are rap
idly increasing our old age popu-
fatio0, n increased number
deaths from this cause seems un-
The southern news., 1949-03-26


1t is interesting to note that
different types of heart diseases
tend to follow schedule. Rheu-
matte heart disease accounts for
95 per cent of deaths among the
very young. High blood pressure
heart disease causes more than
80 per cent of heart deaths among
middle aged and coronary heart
disease causes so per cent of heart
deaths among people over so.
