Irish Go Big in ‘I Feel Better Toni When I Won the Title’—Louis
By JACK United Press Sta
fof New York City, called Louis “An! {American Gentlemen”—the highest [Esinuse he knew—because of Joe's| exemplary conduct in the ring and | out and because of his quick re-| sponse to Uncle Sam's call.
{ 3. Occurred the unprecedented jdouble presentation of the Edtlie | Neil Memorial Plaque for having {done the most for boxing during 1941, and the Ring Magazine's! | Fighter-of-the-Year award. | | 4 A telegram was read from] Lieut. Col. H. C. Brenizer, Joe's commanding officer at Camp Upton, which stated that the heavyweight champion was developing into just las good a soldier as he was a ring | fighter. Tunney Also Honored
Tunney, retired undefeated heavyweight champion, was honorea also at the dinner in Rupperts’ Brewerv—given a desk set by the writers for his service to his country and to boxing during i041. But the Lieutenant Commander in his blue and gold was merely incidental on this program honoring the man in the Army uniform, Pvt. Joe Louis Barrow. Brown-skinned Joe was praised by many other speakers, including Former Postmaster General Jim Farley, head G-Man J. Edgar Hoover, Sanitation Commissioner William F. Carey, President Abe J. Greene of the National Boxing Association, and Toastmaster Sid} Mercer of the New York Journal. | Most dramatic moment of the| night and perhaps in Louis’ career | came when former Mayor Walker concluded his tribute by saying, “Joe—when you risked vour title and vour future against Buddy { Baer in paririotisin—you did some- | thing else. You laid a red rose on Abe Lincoln's grave.’
i
Like a Champion
Then Louis stood and bashfully received the Eddie Neil plaque. The | big brown man in the Army uni-
{ form—who had started life in the | Alabama cotton fields—had no pre- | pared speech of acceptance, and if | he had it would have been forgotten in his emotion. But he came through like a great champion. Joe didn't say much, but his talk was dynamite—like his work against Buddy Baer. He said he felt mighty good when he won the world title—thought then that was his happiest moment —“but tonight I feel better than I ever felt in all my life—and I want to thank all of you from the hottom of my heart.”

U.S.G.A. Plans Hoppe Takes
Chicago Open
NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (U. P.)— The big golf event of 1942 will be the “Hale America’ open tournament at Chicago June 18-21 and the first two players invited to play in it are Bobby Jones, the “Grand Slam” champion, and Chick Evans, first player to win both the U. S. Open and Amateur. The U. S. Golf Association has designated the ‘Hale America” tournament to replace the U. S. Open and Amateur which were canceled for the duration. It will be staged in co-operation with the Chicago District Golf Association, which is combining its proposed Chicago Open with the new event. The tournament's purpose is to raise funds for war relief and advance the physical fitness program

Admission will be charged to raise more funds for war relief. A limited number of qualifiers will then move into the main event at Chicago over a 72-hole route. Prominent players who did not otherwise qualify will be invited to compete as have been Jones and Evans. The total field probably will number from 50 to 75 players, including a separate limit~d division for amateurs. The tournament will be similar] to the patriotic tournament held in 1917 to replace canceleg tourneys.

he 2d Show Is Ready To Go
Fight, Fight All the Way; Caps Win, 6-3
Even Hec the Vet Gets Into Melee
By BOB FLEETWOOD
Referee Eddie “Honey” Kuntz is having an awful time in the American Hockey League these days. Wherever the tiny, cherubfaced official goes, up jumps trouble and smacks him in the face, literally and figuratively, The Indianapolis Capitals outslugged the Buffalo Bison, 6 to 3, last night. But that was an unimportant item in an evening that witnessed a new Coliseum record for referee abuse, name-calling and “Mike Jacobs” entertainment. Last night the pint-sized ref had a nhear-riot on his hands at the Coliseum. He scolded. He penalized 12 times for a 62-minute tadal and he ran into a mauling that would have jerked a tear from a wrestling promoter. But our Caps had “Superman” on their side. That's the name the Caps have tacked on big Doug McCaig and those who play rough, like the Bisons, win his disfavor. The Main Event “Mean Man” Mercer of the Bisons and Hec Kilrea had used everything but the cosmic punch on one another only to have Kuntz calmly ignore them most of the game. With 15 seconds to play Hec broke cleanly on an off-sides play and kept skating. Twenty feet from the net, Hec fired the rubber to the side boards and headed straight for Mercer with all the stops out. Mercer braced and Hec dropped him on the iron-railed net. Gloves flew off and fists flew up. It was the main event. On the 23d blow, by actual count, all players were in the melee. Fists flew in all directions, Pep Kelly's caught Connie Brown in the eye, and then everyone swung. Kuntz was mauled from stem to stern trying to stop it. It was the third penalty brawl of the game and Hec, Pep, Mercer and C. Brown got 10 minutes for fight ing. When they will serve it only President Podoloff knows. The game started with all the calmness of a tornado. Morey Rimstadt collided with “Superman” and they carried Morey from the ice. (He was still dazed but recovering after the game.) The debating but not the sinister looks and checks died down until the Mercer-Kilrea difference stole the show. The goals were incidentals and only excuses for mayhem, but since they were the original idea of the game here they are: First Period Les Douglas on Roy Sawyer’s long pass at 9:25. Second Period Chuck Shannon of Buffalo on a roundhouse curve at 5:55. Roy Sawyer tipped the puck past two defensemen at 12:18. Jud McAtee scored at 17:23 on a rebounding job with Bill Jennings. Third Period Bob Whitelaw and Connie Brown set up Joe Fisher at 1:39. Murdo McKay of the Bisons rammed one over a fallen Joe Turner at :52. ‘Jennings stole the puck and got
3 the break on Defenseman Allum at
7:58 for a beautiful goal. McKay slapped in a rebound at 12:27. Douglas did a fake, a slam, and it was in at 13:12 for the last one.
