| GUESS | NEVER DID CONSIDER
Myself RETIRED SAYS LOUIS

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 22.-
QNS)-Joe Louis officially an
nounced he would make come
back two weeks ago, but actually
the former heavyweight champion
had made up his mind to "unre-
tire" himself as far back as ten
months ago.
That, in effect, was what Louis
who is in preliminary training at
West Baden, Ind, said today in an
interview.

ring" the Brown Bomber said.
But for various reasons, like ex-
hibition and that circus tour, / held

Chicago), | knew | still had it.
| felt | could have knocked him
out in any round.
"You must remember | never
did lay off from boxing. That was
the trouble with the other fellows
who tried comebacks. They stayed
away from the ring altogether and
got way out of shape. Then they
found they couldn't get back in
shape"
Asked whether his tax bill was
the real reason for his comeback
Louis said:
"Sure, | owe the government
money, but even if | didn't, | still
would have made comeback to
recapture the title. | knew il
months ago"
While there had been some talk
that the Louis Ezzard Charles title
bout might be held in Chicago,
rather than New York City, it
would have been distinct sur
prise if the Windy City had been
given the fight.
In New York, Louis is still con-
sidered the heavyweight champion
the big town never having recog-
nized Charles as kingpin. AS a
result Louis held the trump hand
when terms were discussed for the
fight.
1t worked out that way too.

Penn j To Have
Negro Gridders

Philadelphia, AuH 2S.-(ANP)
When the University of Penn
sylvania takes the football field
this year, two Negro tackles will
be on the squad, the first Negroes
to play on a Penn team. They
will be given every opportunity
to cinch varsity berths, Coach
George Munger says.
Bob Evans, six feet two, weigh
ng 225 and Eddie Bell, six feet
onc, both Is years old are the two
Negroes.
Penn has played teams with
Negro players opposing them, but
his event of Negroes being on the
team is something new and will
smash the barbs directed at the
quaker outfit.

Ray Robinson
kayos Basora

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 29.-INS)
World Welterweight Champion
Sugar Ray Robinson took 81
seconds to successfully defend his
Pennsylvania version of the world
middleweight crown Friday night
when he stopped Puerto R~2's
Jose Basora in the first round of
a scheduled hereunder.
Referee Johnny Kelly stopped
the bout after Basora had been
on the canvas three times, once
by a slip.
Sugar Ray, who was held to a
draw by the hard-punching Puerto
Rican five years ago, came out at
the opening bell and showed he
meant business with a smashing
left hook and a right cross to the
jaw.
Then, seconds later, the slightly
woozy Basora slipped TO the can
vas for no-count. When he got
up, Robinson slammed home a
series of lefts and rights. Basora
went down again. He got up
without count again and Sugar
sent him back down. The referee
stopped it.
Many of the 5000 fans in
Scranton Stadium, disagreed with
the referees decision, and there
were shouts of flake" throughout
the arena.
Robinson scaled 1853 ga to
Basora's 159 ga.

Although department store sales
for May in the Third Federal Re

they showed some improvement

cording to the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia, sales for the
month were only slight below those

volume of sales did not change from
April to May, but after adjustment
for seasonal variation, they showed

Q. If my husband works and does
not receive his monthly social Sc
curity check, does his working also
stop his wifes monthly benefit
check?
A. AS the wife's benefit is based
upon her husbands wage record,
his employment would suspend
both benefits.
Q. 1 have been reading the social
security question and answer col
umn for some time. note that you
often indicate different numbers of

rule is?

sured" if he has been paid $50 or
more in covered employment in at
least half the number of calendar
quarters as there are between jan
uary 1, 1887 and the quarter in
which he becomes 65 or dies. If he
became 21 on or after January /,
1887, he need only have been paid
wages of $50 or more in at least
half the number of calendar quar-
ters as there are between his 21st
birthday and the time he becomes
IS or dies. In any event, the min
imum number of quarters required
is six and the maximum is 40. In

another $150,000,000.
He spoke of the Hoover reports

special postal services, like regis

them self-supporting. He said he
is disappointed that nothing has
come of this suggestion.
Mr.. Donaldson explained the
subsidies chiefly involve second

magazines, for $210.000,000 this
year; third-class mail like cir

A little further on, in a field
enclosed by the woods, we saw
something new to all of us: a
lacrosse game in full tilt. Since
spectators we're few, we found
ample room to sit on a sideline
bench and watch the helmeted
players race up and down the
field and belabor each other with
their sticks.
Returning, we entered the
main part of the gym and found
something else new to US: a
weight-lifting tournament in
progress. Although all the spec
tators were males, the little girls
went boldly up to the edge of
the mat and occupied two chairs
that looked as if they might
have been placed there for the
officials. Nobody told them to
move back, and they were able
to obtain close views of the

the weight-Iifters in action and
to get the full benefit of their
