stead was the odd Man as the
fans called him that night.
Joe Fights Too Many Opponents
In The Ring
Old Joe jabbed out with a
couple Of sharp lefts. Both landed.
Then Brion crowded him into the
ropes. Finally, they broke it up
and Joe shut out a few more lefts.
And so went the fight. Louis
did not have too much trouble
with Cesar. He picked his punches
well, and rarely missed a left. But
he fought with his right tied be-
hind his back. At least that is
where it could have been for all
the good he made Of it.
AS did some 1856 fans who
paid $47,420.76 for the privilege,
I came to see the Joe Louis punch
score a knockout, but instead saw
an old mans careful crouch carry
him through to a lusterless VIC
tory.
All I can say after it is over
is that Louis is fighting too many
opponents every time he steps in
to. a boxing ring. First, he faces
Father Time who has never lost a
fight yet. In every Louis bout,
this enemy grows stronger and
stronger.
Second, he faces the old Brown
Bomber, the man he used to be.
He has to fight the shadow Of his
former self. This is a psychological
battle which he loses every time
he fights. What does he think
when he tries and nothing
happens?
To top all this off, poor Joe has
to face the man in the ring, too.
This guy definitely is in there to
do him some harm. Each fight Joe
Louis gets in the future will find
his opponent taking more and
more liberties with the once great
man.
So, it seems to me that I shall
never get that thrill Of a great
Joe Louis fight unless I revert to
movie films of the past. The one
thrill for Joe Louis to give me
now is that statment that he shall
retire and stay retired.

Thrill of Joe Louis Fight
Dimmed by Old Man

Thrill of Joe Louis Fight
Dimmed by Old Man
Last week, l saw Joe Louis fight
Cesar Brion at the Chicago stadi-
UNI. Before ring time, I had await
ed this moment anxiously. After
all, who isn't thrilled just at the
thought of seeing the great Brown
Bomber appear in the ring?
AS 1 slushed outside the Chica-
go stadium in the snow, I had the
feeling I was going to e some
thing great, something exciting,
something hat would keep my
heart tingling.
Everybody seemed to be out
side. There were the usual old
ladies selling peanuts for a dime
on the outside to save you from
Is cents on the inside. There were
the little paper boys talking more
about the Louis fight than the Ko-
rean reverses.
There were the usual hustlers
trying to get in on a free in some
manner. Added to the usual pro-
cession were the people with the
Christmas feeling. A street photo
grapher snapped my picture, Civ
ing me a card which would en-
title me to this candid shot for so
cents.
Even Santa Claus was outdoors
putting down a slight hustle. Since
1 already had been touched sew
veral times I rushed by the red
suited gentleman. On the inside,
I was caught anyway, by a Saliva
ton Army salesman with a report
on the organizations 1850 pro-
gram. 1 gave him a very small sum
for the attractive report.
1 saw all these things, but still
was thinking only of the coming
Joe Louis bout. After all, this is
what I wanted to see. Inside the
stadium, I spotted a few celebri-
ties, as there are always a number
at Louis fights, but I hardly
noticed.
The wolves howled as some of
the attractive female charmers
glided up to ringside. In a couple
of cases every head turned away
from the ring to look. So did l,
but I still was thinking about Joe
Louis.
Two dull bouts went by, and it
was time for the big fights. A
shaking roar came from the crowd,
and l knew Louis had entered the
arena. Both fighters entered the
ring. Joey Maxim and Tony Spano
took bows. The crowd listened as
the organist played the National
Anthem and then the Argentinan
Anthem.
Fay Young, dean of all Negro
sports writers, was announced as
the man counting the knockdowns
at the bell or something like that.
l was not paying too much attent-
ion because I wanted the fight to
get started.
The referee gave instructions to
both fighters in English al
though I heard that Brion under
stands Spanish much better. Final
", the bell sounded, and the big
fight was on. At last, I thought
to my self, the great Joe Louis
was in action once more.

SCIENTIST SEEKS TO BRING
GRAVITY FROM THEORY
TO FACT

Los Angeles. (Atlas)- Every
since the apple first hit Sir Isaac
Newton on the head, little work
has been done ON a practical in
yestigation of the fundamental
properties of gravity. Almost all
the work done in the field has
been theoretical, notably Einstein's
recently announced unified field
theory.
Now a physicist on the Los An
geles campus of the University of
California, John I. Petit, is seek
ing to bring some of the theory
of gravitation into the realm Of
fact
The basis of his study is the
distortion of the earth by the gra-
vitational pull of the sun and
moon. Not only are the oceans af-
fected by the heavenly bodies, but
the entire globe is distorted much
as a rubber ball striking a wall.
This distortion may be measured
in given point by an extremely
sensitive instrument known as a
gravimeter, similar to the type
used in various geological explora-
tons. So sensitive is this instru-
ment that the scientist has been
able TO measure accuracy that has
only one part in a billion margin
of error.
