month : Ezzard Charles, heavy
weight kingpin, Ray Robinson and
Sandy Saddler.
Charles will defend against a
man his size, Nick Barone of Sy-
racuse, N. Y. They will meet Nov.
20 in Cincinnati for the first lit
is believed) heavyweight champ
ionship fight ever held in that city.
Financially, Charles will get :
AZ IL percent of the gate, and Bar
one, 171a percent. Seats will be
sold from SIS to $3.50. Promoter
Sam Becker expects $4,000 fans
to fill Cincinnati Garden with a
100000 gate for this bout.
Terms for the fight include a
return agreement in case Barone
wins = which is not likely. Barone
is plenty fought but he ranks only
sixth among light heavyweights.
He has lost to Bob Satterfield and
Lee Oma, two men Charles figur-
es to whip.
This chance for a heavyweight
title bout comes as a surprise to
the Syracuse battler. He recently
whipped little Jimmy Beau to
earn what he though was a chance
for a non title bout with Jake La
Motta, the middleweight king. In
stead he got a chance for the big
crown when Freddie Beshore re-
fused terms for a return bout with
Charles.
Barone has lost only seven Of 81
bouts. Since becoming champion
Charles has stopped Gus Lesne-
vich, Pat Valentino, Beshore, and
Joe Louis. His victory over Louis
established him firmly as the true
heavyweight champion.
Robinson, Saddler In
Nontitle Fights
Both Robinson and Saddler are
taking overweight bouts. Robinson
will face Bobby Dykes of Austin
Tex, Nov. 27 in the Chicago sta
dunn on an international Boxing
club television card, and Saddler
will meet Charles Riley, Nov. 1,
in st. Louis, also for the IBC.
In four years Of pro fighting
young Dykes has a record of 81
victories including ~ knOckouts,
four losses and four draws. He
base never been knocked out.
Most Of his fights have been
down south in Miami. His two
most recent losses have been to
frankie Abrams and Lester Eel
ton. He has split two fights with
FELTON,, both in Detroit. Last
year he whipped FELTON,, but this
year he lost.
He has never fought in Chicago.
A good showing against Sugar
Ray, however, may land him a.
mong the contenders for the lat
pound title when Robinson gives
it up to fight Jake LaMotta for
the middleweight crown.

Illinois Okays Louis
Brion 10-Rounder
The Illinois Athletic commission
this week approved a personal re-
quest from Joe Louis, ex-heavy-
weight champion Of the world, to
allow him to return to the ring
to meet Cesar Brion, Argentinian
heavyweight, Nov. 20 at the Chi
cago stadium.
Louis who came out of retire
ment Sept. 27 only to lose his
bid to regain his title from En-
card Charles, renewed his box
ing license in Illinois. He told the
Commission he needed three or
four tuneup bouts before he could
meet Charles again for the crown.
Still showing a few signs of
his first comeback bout, Louis
offered no alibis for his loss to
Charles except that he just did
not have it. He replied when Com
missioner Ralph Metcalfe asked
about a cold he had before the
bout.
~ don't want that as an excuse
Pm a better fighter than | was,
and that's the way | want to leave
it."
Joe told the press that exhibit
tons may have spoiled his come
back effort, He said:
81 was taking it easy on most
of these exhibition kids and could
not get myself to hit like | used
to against Charles. I think after
a couple of fights I'll be back
where I was as far as attitude is
concerned"
Chairman Joe Triner paid this
tribute to the Brown Bomber:
"In view of your contribution to
boxing and behavior in the ring as
+, a boxer and outside as a citizen,
| this commission feels that any
consideration you ask should be
granted. In my book, you are an
| All-American citizen"
Prices for ringside seats at the
Louis-Brion bout, although not
officially approved, probably will
be 1915. For the ordinary Stadi-
UNI bouts the fare is $6.75.
Ringside lettings
Chicago had it's first taste of
fighting New York style in the
form of the Charley-Fusari-Tony
Pellone Thriller, but responded
only to the tune Of 1924 fans
who paid $19,205,47 to see it in
person.

In 1916 Senator Bilbo was re-
elected to the Senate from Mississ-
ippi. Senator Taft, Chairman of
the Republican Policy Committee,
personally took the lead, stood on
the floor Of the Senate and asked
for a vote against Bilbo's taking
the oath. The Senate upheld SEN
ator Taft's motion and their vote
thus excluded Bilbo from the Sc
nate, for he could not take of
flee without receiving the requir-
ed oath. Bilbo would have been
admitted but for Bob Taft's action
and the fact that the Republicans
controlled the Senate.
