Heavyweight boxing is much in the
limelight the past few Weeks and Joe
,Louis, the colored •boxer is getting
lot of publicity. Here's , what Mike
;Rodden, sports editor of the. Toronto
Globe had to say on the heavyweight
boxing situation recently:
"When Jack Johnson was a king of
Oils heavyweights they said dot he
had never beaten anybody worth
tvhile. They had it that Jess Willard
was a joke; they even were quite cri-
tical of Jack Dempsey's boxing abil-
ity; they underrated Gene Tummy,
and so on long into the night of fis-
tians.
Now the "Doubting Thomases"•
aver that Joe Louis has beaten only
set-ups. They number Primo Camera,
and "Kingfish" Levinsky as being
members of the "Stumblebum AM -
dation", but they forget that Louis
n
is the only mittmawho ever knack -
ed out the giant Italian and the fish
eeddler from Chicago without the
slightest trouble.
Joe Louis is the greatest heavy -
Weight of his dine, and if he gets the
rate -trae S.
"There's no limit but the mechani-
cal possibilities of the ear", said Jno.
.Cobb, British racing driver, after he
bad completed a 24-hour Tun with
two relief pilots thie summer and had
set 100 or so new records for varying
distances.
He .predicted Sir Malcolm would
liave no difficulty in realizing his
- dream of a 300emile pace.

Since John L Sullivan surrender-

• It is alleged from various sources
that the import 0110 pursued by

mer two towns at least, there has not
been any claim that the other teams
could beat them. Once r in a while the
pante was close. Hanover lost to them
5-0 and 4 -0 -but some of the other
games had a ericket store. -For quite
