LOUIS WINS
 ONE SIDED
 BESH0REG0

DETROIT, Jan. 4-P-Joe Louis tremendous home town following argued vociferously today-in the wake of Joe's smashing victory ever outclassed Freddie Beshore last night-that the old Brown Bomber is still the best heavyweight in the business.
 Louis took another step up the comeback ladder by stopping Be shore handily in two minutes and AS seconds of the fourth round of a scheduled ten-rounder.
 Referee Johnny Weber halted the one-sided battle to save the bloodied Beshore, his left eyelid badly cut and his nose battered, from fur ther punishment.
 Ex-champion Louis many rooters -13,096 fans paid $41 ,425 to see the scrap-pointed out that it took cur rent champion Ezzard Charles 14 rounds to finish Beshore last Au- gust.
 That Beshore's crowding, wild swinging tactics were tailor-made for Louis nobody would deny.
 At the finish the 36-year-old Louis was unmarked and not even breath ing heavily. His trim weight of 21OA testified to his good condition
 Beshore, 10 years younger than Louis and nearly 19 pounds hgk.er at 191h, had no quarrel With Weber's decision.
