JOE LOUIS
RESENTS
SPOKESMAN OF
RACE TITLE

NEW YORK, August 81 - Joe
Louis, former heavyweight cham
pion, said today he was often
troubled by the fact that people
generally consider him "a spokes-
man for the whole Negro race"
Writing in the current issue of
SEE magazine, just released the
Brown Bomber told of his con-
slant fear that he would do or
say something wrong and shame
or harm colored people every
where"
Louis stated his toughest fight"
has always been the fight within
himself not to do things that
would only stir up trouble and
make things worse than ever for
others"
II don't pretend to be any great
authority on racial relations"
Louis said, land certainly / don't
kid myself that my toughest fight
will change the nature of the
world"
Louis asserted in SEE that "the
American Negro is very slowly
but surely winning the fight
against prejudice. It's been a hard
battle but / think the final round
is coming UP in our lifetime" he
added in the SEE magazine article.
Louis recalled an example of
segregation witnessed by him in
the army, in 1912 - a scene in
which a careless word or action
on his part would have resulted
in trouble. After his induction he
had been given a warm welcome
by the camp commandant, when
he noticed a curious silence.
Il looked around TO see what
was the matter" Louis related.
OFT a piece, where hadn't seen
them during all the hand shaking
and speech making, there was am
other group of new soldiers. My
group. The Negroes"
Il didn't say anything" Louis
continued" - and that's why
figure won that particular fight
with myself. l just took my things
and started walking over to the
colored formation. Then the army
got its voice back and we march
ed off"
Louis noted that racial segre-
CATION in the u. S. Army was an
awful thing. Telling a man he
was expected 20 die for his coun-
try - but he had 10 do his dying
in a special group - was all
wrong" Louis declared. But with
all our faults in the U. S., when
we went into that war we were
mainly headed right, Hitler was
wrong. l didn't want to do or
say anything that would help that
man"
Louis revealed that he has often
been criticized by his friends for
his refusal 10 stay at hotels and
other places from which Negroes
are usually barred. To their rea-

to open doors for all Negroes, he

She further pointed to the Pres

another example of his being "a

She also praised him for the
appointment of a Negro on the

watched the first two sets and
then left for session Of practice
with the American players, COM
menting: II have seen Hoad
play better"
Talbert Not Impressed.
Talbert said the Americans
know both Hoad and Rosewall
can be beaten. 1T is Just a
question of getting Vic Seixas
and Tony Trabert on top of
their games and we are getting
there,
The Australians now seem con-
vinced that young Hoad, on the
basis of his recent series of sue
cesSes, is a lead pipe cinch to win
two singles points in the best of
five Davis Cup challenge round
December 1880.
Less certain of this is Seixas.
S0-year-old Philadelphian who
has beaten Hoad the last six
times they have met. Hoad is
Seixas' meat.
Seixas Has Edge.
SeiXas whipped Hoad twice
down here a year ago during the
Australian swing. He also beat
the Australian at Wimbledon and
Paris, in the semifinalS of the
United States Nationals at For
est Hills and on the West Coast.
Most of the time Vic has not
even been pushed by Hoad, in
Guiding the Forest Hills match
which he won in straight sets.
So if the opening draw hap
pens to pit Seixas against Hoad
and Trabert against Rosewall,
conceivably the AusSies could
be two down after the first day.
RoSewall's play has been below
standard.
YankS Prospects Brighten.
That is just on the brighter
side of a picture darkened by a
series of injuries and defeats
for the American forces during
the last three weeks.
Captain Talbert and his team
OF Seixas, Trabert, Ham Rich
ardson and Bob Perry leave early
tomorrow for Brisbane where
they practice for the December
1913 meeting with the Belgians
in the Interzone finals. Although
the Beligans have two good men
in Jacques Brichant and Plilkipe
Washer, the Americans are IA
vored to sweep the series.
The Belgians competed a SO
sweep over India today in the
first Interzone finale. Washer
trounced 16-year-old Ramana-
than, 6-1. 6-1, 6-1 and Brichant
defeated India's Captain Sumant
MiSra. Ga, 4-6, Ga.
Talbert will name the Ameri-
can four-man squad Monday and
may include himself among the
players because of the uncer-
tainty of Seixas' knee. Actually
Talbert has been playing the best
tennis of the entire group. He
gave Hoad a hard fight in the
