Mills to Sleep To Nab Title

Joey lands K. O. And Now Eyes Heavyweight Crown LONDON, Jan. 26 (UP)-—Joey Maxim, Cleveland's explosive! “cream puff” who wrested the world light heavyweight championship from Eng! Freddie Mills last night, announced today he is, in addition, going after the heavyweight crown. “Although a notoriously light puncher, Maxim not only knocked| out Mills at 1: of the 10th round, but he stiffened him for nearly 10 minutes, stunning a record indoor British crowd of more than 20,000 in Earl's Court. Manager Js ‘k Kearns explained that his strea. ilined, black-haired Ohio champion would remain in London “for a spell.” Kearns, who managed Jack Dempsey in his prime, said Promoter Jack Solomons probably would let Maxim fight the winner
