JOE LOUIS
LOST IN CROWD

NEW YORK - The afternoon
Of the recent Ray Robinson
R andy Turpin middleweight
championship fight at the Polo
Grounds, the usual fight crowd
iammed or milled about the side
walk in front of the Hotel
Theresa. 1t was the largest such
crowd seen there since the last
Louis -Walcott fight. 1t was a
gala mob. But this time it was
somewhat unusual.
Where previously he had been
the attraction that brought the
crowd, Joe Louis this time was
one of that crowd. And he went
hardly noticed as the men and
women from all sections Of the
country got off in punches to
discuss the possible outcome Of
the impending brawl.
Louis, with his faithful COM
panion, Leonard Reed, leaned on
the fender Of car parked at the
curb near 124th ST., and watched
forlornly as the boys who once
hailed him as the greatest fighter
of all time gave forth with SINH
lar accolade for one Ray Robin
son. Joe seemed a trifle hurt
not resentful, for he, too, admires
Ray. But it was obvious he
missed the glamour and atten-
ton that he had enjoyed. His
actions clearly showed that even
though a celebrity frequently
seeks to affect the idea that he
wants to "get away from it all,
he, in fact, loves the crowd.
All this combines to cause
many along Sportsman's Row tc

Mr.. Fred Wright has worked

Groups first appearance, October

veteran has devoted most of his
life to music, unselfisfly helping
others, working in the church
and modestly keeping his own
superb baritone-bass out of the
limelight. II ever there is a sense
of appreciation, all Medford and
neighboring cities and towns
should fill Recital Hall next
Friday night.
This Concert is going to be de-
lightfully different. There is 60
ing to be such rich variety. You
will hear wonderful religious
Hymns, your favoriteS, like, "The
Lord Is My Shepherd" and Han
ders "Holy Art Thou" sung by
the Group, as only it can sing.
But Fred Wright will, at last step
forth in his own singing splendor
with solo selections from Mozart
and Fleggier and we predict your
ovation is going to be great even
for him alone. All critics mark
him 4 coming star and he has
made radio and other concert ap-

sensational as any of Joe's previ-
Gus ones. The ex-Champ knows
his time is not long, and that If
he is to get a crack at the title
before his legs crack under him,
a spectacular win over the "Rock"
is a must.
Rocky is 10 years younger than
Joe, but Joe has every other ad-
vantage, including that of being
the sentimental favorite. AL
though he lost to Ezzard Charles
in his attempt to be the first
champion to regain his crown,
Joe has refused to give up, and
has won eight fights since that
time.
Regardless of the outcome of
his valiant effort to regain the
heavyweight throne, Joe will go
down in ring history as one of
the greatest fighters Of all time.
