LOUIS RETAINS HIS TITLE IN . EASY FASHION Heavyweight Cha in p Scores First Round Technical K. O. By Harry Ferguson United Press Sports Editor “'New York. Jan 26- (U.K) 100 Louis, a rising young millionaire from Detroit, counted his dollars today and announced he had embarked upon a new business policy -"Knock 'em out quick in the first round" In pursuit of that policy he made a bleeding, helpless hulk 1 out of one of the best of the boxers last night in two minutes and 29 seconds of what was scheduled to be a 15 round bout in Madison Square Garden. John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight champion of the world and a ring strategist with nil the cunning that 99 fights can give to a man. was knocked down three times in less than three minutes by blows that traveled so fast that he hardly saw them. The third time his brave heart commanded him to get up and he tried — oh. how hard he tried hut a wise referee stopped the fight before something serious could happen. Today Louis was readv to fight anybody in March — Bob Pastor, Max Baei. Tony Galento, Lou Nova—or any other heavyweight Conferences were called for lute today by the officials of the Twen I tieth Century Sporting Club to try ' to make a match that will lure the customers. Eighteen thousand persons in Madison Square Garden last night saw Louis at his peak. He was a cold, efficient fighter who was out to knock a man senseless as quickly as he could. No more of this feeling a guy out for a couple of rounds. No more cautious sparring in mid-ring. No mor.searching for an opening for Joe Louis. From now on lie's cutting 'em down with one punch if he can, and he would like to land that punch in the first 10 seconds. Let him tell you about it: “I got a new system. Knock 'em out quick in the first round 1 couldn’t feel sorry for John Henry even if we are friends 1 had a job to do and I got it over as quick as I could." He spoke those words sitting on a rubbing table in his dressing room after the fight. His hair wasn’t mussed; there were no perspiration beads on his sleek brown body; he wasn't panting. H.e looked like a man ready to go into the ring instead of one who had just come out of it. The fight looked so easy for Louis that most people forgot today the caliber of the man who was in there against him. Lewis had never been knocked out before. He had the reputation of being a smoothis with plenty of speed afoot. But he had never stood up and shaken his fists at lightning before and last night lightning struck —three times and in the same place. Louis came out in a shuffle and for 30 seconds they reached for each other with lefts. John Henry’s left grazed Joe's ear. and that was the only time he ever came close to landing a blow. They were over along the ropes when Louis' right, moving only about 18 inches, caught Lewis just ! above the eye. Bop! It went and Lewis hit the floor, blood gushing out of a cut. It‘s doubtful if Lewis ever will I remember any more about the fight. He got up. his brain too full of clouds and cobwebs to stay down for a nine count and recover. Then Louis stalked him. John Henry retreated toward his own corner, unable to get In a blow because Joe's left was flickering in and out to the head. With his back to the ropes John could go no farther. Bop! went Louis’ right again, and Lewis' feet flew out from under and he reeled half way through the middle and top ropes. Referee Arthur Donovan started a count, but nobody in the Garden was ever going to live to see the day when John Henry Lewis dogged it in a fight. Again John Henry came up without waiting for a nine count and flung a left, hopelessly short, in Louis’ direction. Two minutes had ticked away and now Joe was stalking his foe along the ropes to another corner. Louis' eyes narrowed to slits when he saw his opening. That incredible right that flashes so fast that the eye can hardly catch It landed again—this time flush on the -jaw. John Henry hit the canvas and rolled directly in front of the United Press' ringside wire., His ; eyes were as vacant as an unfin- ; ished house. His arms and legs were limp. It was then that DonII ovan stopped the fight, after get-

ting up to a count of five. Ten minutes later, in his dressing room. John Henry confirmed | the fact that the first right hand ' punch knocked him silly. The I rest of the time he was fighting only on heart and instinct. Somebody asked John Henry why he didn't take a nine count on the first punch. “I didn't see that punch.” he . said, shaking his head. "What I did they stop it for? They give I you three knockdowns in most I states.” "You were down three times. John," he was told. "Was I? 1 don't remember about? that.” So all he does remember is a narrow-eyed man in red gloves coming out at him. a couple of! flickering exchanges and then J oblivion That's the new Joe Louis business policy. o * Decatur Bowling League Results | Roiling 2.381 against 2,256, the First State Bank took two games from Preble last night in the opening tilts of the Merchant’s League at Mies Recreation.

r Today’s Sport Parade | By’Henry McLemore Los Angeles. Jun. 26 (U.PI Two days ago. «•> <• •iinelsco. ! one Sam Snead gave out an interview to the press n which h- said that match play go» was foolish., mt nothing, and was not a i true lest of skill ; Coining from one so prominent as Sm-ad I never thought to question the statement until yesterday when, during a pro amateur tournament at Lakeside Golf < lub, I overheard a dozen or more of his fellow professionals criticizing him for his statement. With a I true reporter's instinct I asked Snead’s rivals what they thought of his flat declaration that su< h tournaments as the national professional golf championship. the Ryder Cup matches, the Saii Fran cisco and the Belmont opens, were worthless and unfit for spectator consumption Snead's companions made no bones about condemning what they consider his absurd assertion The first pro I spoke to was Olin Dutra, the big fellow i who has not only won the P.G.A title but the national open as well, two titles which Snead has yet to win. “He is a nice boy. Sammy." Olin said, "and is a helluva golf er. but he hasn’t learned to take his lickings as gracefully as he does his winnings. Speaking as a veteran pro. my guess is that the first time he wins a big match' play tournament he will come out and say they are great." After I had talked to Dutra. I ran into Jimmy Deinaret. the turkey-necked Texan who recently won the Los Angeles open “Snead has got the right to think whatever he thinks." Demarel said, "but 1 can’t see eye to eye with hint. To me a champion goes ,in any sort of conditions. I'm not as good a golf player as Snead is. but I never saw a man that I wouldn't play for all I had on sand greens, grass greens, or down sth Avenue If I ever tied for the national open it would suit me to settle the | title by playing one hole. If you are hitting the bull, it doesn't matter what you're playing, match, medal or marbles." Leo Diegel. who stopped WalI ter Hagen's five year strangle hold on professional match play championships, said that match play was chiefly a test of a golfer's guts. “Match play brings out courage and if a man hasn't got courage he won't go far in our business, even if all the tournaments were held on billiard tables with eleven pockets." Big Ed Dudley brought up the very interesting point that no one had yet devised a golf game that

wasn't as fair to one man as it was to another. "I prefer medal play to match | play myself.” Dudley said, “hut I , don’t think a man can go around asking for favors. If the tourna-, ment is match play you play that. ■ if it’s medal you play that. I’ll , say this, our pt© title has never I been won by a poor player, and | that’s more than I can say for a ’ ’ lot of opens at medal play, in- ' eluding the national open." Dick Metz of Chicago, who i showed his skill and versatality by winning a medal and a match play tournament on successive! week-end? recently, is all for match play if the governing bodies will just eliminate the stymie. At this point I grew tired of interviewing golfers and decided to make a summary of the situation of my own. My summary is this; Golf tournaments are won by the men who require the fewer number of shots to get from tee to cup. Those who do not like this situation should confine their activities to the practice tee or stand in front of the clubhouse bar and tell gullible members how hot they would be if they ouly had the luck and the breaks.
