Beating The Gun

Through the medium of sports,
the great equalizer, Louis has
touched the masses, untold mil
lions of them. Youngsters and old
er fans of every color and creed
worshipped Louis as they did Babe
Ruth and other American sport
immortals.
Great Box-Office Magnet
What a mighty appeal Joe Louis
had on the paying customers! On
the strength of Ezzard Charles
present fan appeal the recent title
bout would not have drawn more
than the $4,000 Ezzard drew in
his earlier appearance here with
Elmer (Violent- Ray, remembr??
Who among us would not like
to be remembered as will be Joe
Louis Barrow? Take a peep at
his record, not inside the ring, but
out of it in this connection. He
made you love him with his simply
spoken "I'm glad l won, l was
lucky tonight" Never a braggart;
never an apology always a clean
fighting warrior who gave his
best.
Joe Louis, without the British
Winston Churchill's brilliant
scholastic background, revealed
him in pearls-of-wisdom that forti-
fled the forgotten man." Stand
ing in the company Of leaders in
all walks of American life Louis
said in his inimitable manner;
"We'll win the war because we're
on Gods side"
When colored and white writer's
flayed him for donating his full
purse to the war chests of our
armed forces, Joe replied in "a
manner that hushed them up. His
fountain of good mother wit and
logic never once ran dry.
One need not ask the question,
could Ezzard Charles have licked
| the Joe Louis who bowled over
Braddock. There may be only four
| figures in the entire boxing pict-
ure who might have stood a chance
of doing that namely; Jack John
son, Sam Langford, Jack Demsey
and Gene Tunney.
While this will offend the ring
historians who cling tenderly to
the memory Of such as Peter Jack
son, Jim Corbett, James J. Jeff

NEW YORK (ANP) For years
Ed Sullivan, columnist of the NJ
Y. Daily News, has been a real
good friend of mine. In all of my
scrapbooks containing lines devot-
ed to my theatrical and sports op-
inions the Sullivan comment" has
always been welcomed.
Following the tragic ring demise
of Joe Louis, Champion-of cham
pions in my dictionary, Ed turned
out a classic. The cort of story
that should be treasured by future
Ezzard Charles opponents.
1t was the sort of column I
wrote after VI Day, World War
II. Turning the pages Of my box
ing scrapbook I see that it was

Of course the Joe I referred
to as you doubtless have guessed
was our fistic idol, Joe Louis. l

Drown bomber" to get rid of
the crowd who had tailed him for
handouts and stakes from the mo-
ment he lost his Fright arm" train
er, Jack Blackburn.
The night Louis fought Billy
Conn after the war, I personally
begged him to put the gloves in
mothballs, thereby emulating book
ish Gene Tunney in prizefight his
tory.
But Joe was the sort one sees
every 20 years or so. His way OF
life was similar to that of free
spending Jack Dempsey, = another

Nal Frazier, popular Harlemite
in the entertainment field, chatted
with me on this score before /

Both of us thought Louis would
win.
Together we spanned the episod-

Investments that proved to be
money thrown in the lake included
the "Club Ebony affair which
Tom Delaney constantly affirms
had nothing to do with Joe Louis

is no more. In his place for many
long years to come we hope, viii
