Mangrum of Niles, Ill, and his ex-dentist sidekick from Memphis, both former U.S. Open titlists and pre-tourney favorites, were the only other pair on the plus side of the ledger.

How does this fantastic sit-, uation come about? Well, it’s like this: Louis owes the Old |

Gentleman a bundle in back ineome taxes and he is eager to make a deal which will put him| back in the black again. If the Old Gentleman will call everything even Louis will turn over his entire purse to the Treasury Department. This could run anywhere from, say, $75,000 to $200, 000,

Even if the top figure is achieved the Old Gentleman would wind up on the short end of the gamble, for Louis’ indebtedness is a great deal more than the $58,000 which is commonly quote in connection with the case. It is closer to a quarter of a million dollars. To be more specific, jt is $240,000, give-or take a few small bills. ‘This probably makes Louis

It is generally believed the ola Gentleman will agree to the deal and young Jim Norris, who is the Mr. Big in the fight game these days, is reasonably confident he will have a heavyweight battle for the customers before World Series time Yolls around.

There is another “consideration

Just what would his chances] be? Not too bright, I would say As fighters go, Louis is an old {man. He was 36 in May and he {had passed his peak even before] he retired.

Gene Tunney on the floor in what, was to be the last fight of his career. .

BUT DEMPSEY had little else. Except for that one magnificent flurry in the controversial longcount seventh round in Chicago, he"was an old man. When Tunney finally did get up, Dempsey was so spent he couldn’t resume the attack.

called it a career. Louis is now four years older than Dempsey was when the latter conceded defeat to Father Time. This is the detail which prompts me to take a dim view of the Bomber's ichances, True, Charles is no Tunney,
