WRITING in the Minneapolis Morning Tribune, George Barton, dean of American association sports seriveners, and a former amateur and professional boxing referee, said the war department hit upon a popular idea when it decided to send Sgt. Joe Louis on a tour of the various fighting fronts to entertain his buddies with fistic exhibitions. Barton, who saw Louis in several of his big bouts and also watched him train for the jousts. is well-posted on the heavyweight champs career. having seem him start out as an amateur Golden Glover in Chicago rings. Discussing the war George Nichols,

department's plan, Barton said in part: veteran Negro heavyweight who served as Louis’ chief sparring partner in all of his championship fights, will don the gloves with the Bomber in his exhibitions. ‘his means the soldiers will be treated to exciting glove tilts, beeatise Nichols is rugged enough to absorb Louis’ heaviest punches with 18-ounce gloves. George isn't afraid to punch back at Louis. Their bouts, when Louis was preparing for a title defense. were the highlights of the champions training camps.

Joe Enlisted as a Buck Private

Louis iz tremendously popular with all men in service becanse them. He enlisted 18 months ago as a buck private. He might have received a commission and assigned to teaching physical training, but Joe didn’t want it that way. He wanted to go in as a private and earn rewards the hard wav. He waz happier when promoted to sergeant than winning the from Jimmy Braddock. His officers sav Louis has model soldicr, never complaining and never requesting special

Meanwhile, Dale Morey, Martinsville, always a serious threat! also folded up on the second 18 and did no better than match Talbot's 76 to throw the two into a tie, On finishing his round Shaw said, “One vear I had them all up on their ears for nine hnies and then I took a million on the back stretch. And it has always been my luek to cateh some hot potato in the early match play and watch the rest from the sidelines. “But I think I've hit now, I hope.” he added. A deadlock also resuited for the fourth and fifth spots when Clark BEspie, Hillerest, added a 73 to his opening 7 and Charles Hartey let loose with a par round to add to a 76 for like totals of 148,

Then the Blues pounced upon Reid in the third and tallied three runs on four hits, In the fourth the Tribesters turned on the steam and batted Johnny Johnson, southpaw, out of the box and he was relieved by Russ Messerly.
