ring history to make a successful
comeback.

But today Louis said he really
didn't want to fight Charles and
that if he did there wouldn't be
enough money in it. He also said
that the idea of the gruelling
training routine he would have to
go through for such a fight was
a major barrier.
Louis will be with the circus
for 81 days. starting May "a. in
tour of Canada. But first he will
go to South America on an exhibi-
ton tour.
Joe said~that if he had decided
on a fight with Charles he would

ready has booked four exhibitions
in Brazil and others are being ar
ranged.
The tour with the circus will
run from May "a until August 10.
Louis will appear in a matinee
act, working six days a week.
Louis explained he was being
guaranteed $1,000 a day and
would get all over that amount
