LOUIS SCORES EASY VICTORY Detroit Brown Bomher Scores Knockout In First Round Cleveland, Dee. 16. — <U.R> — The boxing world today interpreted Joe Louis' 26-second technical knockout over Eddie Simms as violent I warning that the Brown Bomber ' Will take no more chances with men who have the reputation of punchers — that he will not toy 1 with them for the benefit of the customers. Louis wrote this warning last night with a brown-lightning left hook before more than 11,000 amazed fans in the huge public audi-| torium —fans who had paid $49.I 827.75 to see him in action against a man who could hit. It was Joe's sixth and last fight: of 1936—a year in which he had learned the lesson that it was dangerous to "dress a man for the I kill.” too dangerous merely to soften him up in the early rounds, instead of knocking him cold. He learned that lesson in his June bout with Max Schmeling. ■ who turned the tables and belted Marse Joe out in the 12th round. And that lesson was impressed upon the bomber in the last previous fight, when inexperienced Jorge Brescia had shuffling Joe groggy and floundering in the third round. Thus it was that Louis came out last night before one of the largest boxing crowds in Cleveland's history to kill and kill quickly. And the desperate Simms played right into Joe's dynamite fists. Simms, who unfortunately had the reputation of a kayo artist, tore out of his corner at the openftig bell and started throwing hooks at the

Af- ' ter their clinch, the 25-year-old i angular, brown-haired Clevelander laid down another hooking barrage ' and several fists thudded into Joe’s I head. Again they broke, and EdI die was just stepping in from a semi-crouch to launch another hooking when Joe uncorked his left hook. It was the first blow struck by the Bomber, his first punch of the fight. It was a short, shoveling left hook, a half uppercut. It exploded on Simms' right jaw. halfway between the point and the, cheek bone. It seemed that Simms had bent into it. In the dressing room later, Louis said: "He was bending right into it. But ah put plenty into it mahself.” Q TO BROADCAST ((Ve-Tist KROM ONsl a general reminder to school children that there exists an ever increasing demand for safety observances can be dramtized through the channels of radio and reach these thousands regularly in this manner where personal contact by educators in the safety field is practically impossible,” Mr. Morgan said.
