two minutes and 29 seconds of fighting. The picture shows John Henry going down, one of the three times he was floored before Referee Art Donovan stopped the bout to save the helpless challenger further punishment.

* Today’s Sport Parade * By Henry McLemore ♦ : —r* Los Angeles. Jan. 27. — (U.R) — Don’t look now. but that fellowboarding the Normandie at Le Harve tor a trip to the United States is Max Sehmellng. and the little man with him is Max Machon. j a prominent towel thrower from Deusseldorf. It was Machon's polished performance with a towel that all but saved Sehmeling's life in his last fight with Joe Louis and he is coming along on the outside chance that the German heavyi weight will meet Louis again. Personally, I don't believe Sehmellng wants any part of Louis again. Max is a very smart boy these shores, strapped to a plank ■ and on his last departure from ' to keep his verterbrae from decking like castanets, undoubtedly carried with him a lesson. One more session with Louis, and the ship carpenters might have to add • two sides and a top to that plank I he wore. There is a report that Schtneling's trip was prompted by the German government, desiring to end talk that Max's licking by Louis had put him in bad with his countrymen and that he had been assigned to some such job as box- , ing instructor in a concentration camp. There is also a report that his government wants him to fight the bomber again just to show the otiiside world that he is free to do what he wants. For myself, if Max fights Louis again I will interpret it as positive proof that somebody over there is ' mad at him. because a friendly < power would ask anything but

that It might Just as well slmw Itg good Will by buying him ft home gulllolloe set or ft rof mnti lied cobras for hla living room Os course, if Mux should throw his stalking cap into the heavyweight ring it would mid to the gaiety of the present setup The h. ivyweight situation already Is fraught with heavyweight* und the addition of one more challenger would only make it Daughter, *o to speak. And to tell the truth Sehmellng Im* us good a right a* anyone else to clamor for a shot at'the title held by Louis. He is strictly a second ruler now. but so are all the others. He certainly wouldn't be worse than oven money against the scholarly but awkward Galento. the modest but faint-hearted Baer, the suave but light hitting Farr, or the handsome but inexperienced Nova. There s a real set of challengers for you, isn’t it? 1 U swear that Louis could knock all of them out in one evening and still get home in time for dinner while it was warm. Joe's great show of power against such a genuinely good tighter as the light heavyweight chainpion. John Hepry Lewis, gives lie to the old ring belief that negro champions are a cinch to fall apart when the money rolls 1 in. the cars get long and limous--1 iney, the food rich and plentiful, and the wardrobe loaded with fancy clothes. Joe's a millionaire, has a car big i enough comfortably to seat a regiment. cast only the choisest pork (chops, and has more clothes than J a well stocked department store, i but he fights Just as savagely and ! just as efficiently as he did in those days when he had to go two quick rounds with the wolf every time he stepped outside his shanty door.
