The Seaforth News, 1955-06-16, Page 7rY�^" then SPORTS caEuMit zit e $eat o ar Eighteen years ago this month — on ,lune 22, 1+937—Joe Louis knocked out the "Cinderella Man", James J. Braddock, in the eighth round at Chicago and took the world heavyweight title. Louis was a great champion, Ile had a 12 -year reign until he abandoned the title in 1949, and then followed the tradition set by Jim Cor- bett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries and other greats of the heavyweight division. He failed in a comeback attempt. But Isis victory over: the veteran Braddock who, appar- ently at the end of a spotty career, come off the relief rolls to beat Laughing Boy Max Baer for the title, hardly gave Joe his greatest ring thrill, Of all the men Louis met in the ring he had hatred for only one: Max Schmeling. He hated him not because the German had knocked him out, but because of the things Schmeling told reporters after the fight. The Black Uhlan claimed his victory was the natural triumph of a superior race. He would beat Louis again and again, Louis, Schmeling climed, lacked courage as well as intelligence. He was a foul fighter. (Schmeling is the only man who ever accused Louis of being a foul fighter.) Louis nursed his anger for two years, then finally vented it in a bout never equalled for ferocity and savagery. Louis landed 54 punches on Schmeling in the space ef two minutes. As Louis stalked in, a tiger ready for the kill, the best the plainly -frightened Schmeling could do to protect himself was to lean his head and shoulders outside the ropes. Louis, having no other target for a right hand that thudded and battered, pounded it to Max's side and back, until he screamed in a high pitched voice; "Genugl Genng] Genugi" It was then that a white-faced Max Macken, Schmeling's trainer, threw in the towel that referee Arthur Donovan picked up to throw out of the ring. Selimeling was taken from his dressing room to a hospital. It was three weeps before he was able to leave. And that was the battle. we think, that gave Joe Louis his greatest thrill.

Cheri DISTILLERS, LIMITED AMHHLSTIWRG, ONIMUO eieased From Jail To fret Married Forty convict, took to flight $ss Hawaii a short time ago — with official permission and ap- 'revel. They flew for more than 9w0 hours in a specially charter- ed airliner. The object .of the fight? To view erupting Hawai- ian volcanoes from the air. The trip was a great success. 4 most enjoyable time was had by all. You see, the flight was part of the educational activities At Kulani Jail, Hawaii, where the solacy of treating convicts more humanely is paying dividends. All over the world, especially in the United States, there's a tendency today to make prison life a little more pleasant and (Brant special privileges to con - adds who behave themselves. Only a few weeks ago a man serving fourteen years in a U.S. j'risen for burglary revealed that ust before the offence he had fallen violently in love with a pretty girl. He asked permission to marry her, explaining to the governor that it was hardly rea- sonable to expect her to wait until his sentence was up to be- corpe his bride. A few days later the convict was allowed to change his prison uniform for a smart, dark blue suit and was given "a day off" from jail to marry the girl. The ceremony took place in the chapel about a mile from the prison. Two lawyers who had appeared at the man's trial acted as best man and "bridesmaid." Two hours after the ceremony, the convict was told by his guard that he must leave his bride and return to prison, for his parole was up. He kissed her tenderly and as they parted he whispered, "I love you." She replied, "I'll wait for you, darling, and will be faithful." A retflarkable story of a prison- er's romance was told at a Not- tingham summer school two years ago by a prison commissioner while discussing prison education in Britain, Ile said a middle-eged convict applied for permission HE 5...EPS WITH HIPPO SCENE: Drawing room aboard train.

JUiE SUIT—There's something in those burlap bags besides oats, fashion designers hove discovered, Sport jacket,, at right, and cocktail dress are both woven of jute, the plant fiber from which 'burlap is made. Recently modeled at the Pakistan Embassy, from Canadian and American designs, the creations are Pakistan's bid for a new outlet for jute, of which she produces 75 per cent of the world's supply. to attend a special class to be taught to write. When asked why, he replied: "S have met a widow with a nice nest -egg. She likes me and I want to keep in touch with her while I'm in prison." The prison governor told him the librarian aendti write his letters for him, but the man re- marked, The kind of letters I want to write to her are not the kind I would like the li- brarian to write, sir." So the convict was allowed to attend the class and proved a most apt pupil. Before he com- pleted his prison sentence, the widow said "Yes" to his admir- ably written proposal of mar- riage. The governor of an Oregon jail decided to introduce a method of dealing with convicts by "trust- ing" them. The morning after he had conceived the idea there was a terrific thunderstorm which caused a hundred head of cattle on the prison farm to break away and escape to the open country. The governor picked out two convicts who were serving long sentences for burglary and sent them Out to round up the fugitive cattle. "I want you two to bring all chose cattle back," he told them. The convicts promised to come back with the cattle. The gover- nor gave them horses and enough food for a week. As they were setting out one of the men said to him, "Those cattle may have strayed some distance, so don't be worried if you don't hear from us." But the governor did begin to worry when, after ten days, he had heard nothing of the men. On the eleventh day, however, back came the convicts with all the missing cattle. They had had hard rides over rough country and, not being experienced cow- boys, had had great difficulty in rounding up the cattle. But they had made good—and each re- ceived a remission of his sen- tence. Granting privileges to convicts can have amazing results, as the governor of a jail in the Middle West of the United States dis- covered some years ago. At a prison concert one convict revealed that he was a first-class pianist. A talent spotter who heard him offered him a radio contract and he gave a broad- cast performance from the pris- on—with the governor's permis- sion, of course, So extraordinary was the wave of hysteria aroused by his music that he was pardoned halfway through his sentence and drove Out of the prison gates in a new car, the gilt of his admirers. In the car were 50 silk shirts, 300,000 cigarettes, twelve suits of clothes, eight spare tires and three Airedale terriers—all gifts from his radio fans. In his pockets were $3,000 in cash and a two-year music hall contract at an enormous salary. Other gifts he had received while in prison included forty ducks, One ton of candy and two Ger- man police dogs. Convicts in a California prison produce their own fortnightly newspaper which helps to pass the time for them and has also led to a big improvement in their behaviour. The newspaper now has a circulation of 8,000. In this prison. the guards are t o longer armed and each con- vict has a radio In his cell and attends regular film shows and quizzes. Another convict was such a keen inventor that he asked and got permission to experiment during, his five years' penal ser- vitude in a Maryland jail. Ile worked over twelve hours a day for more than a anal. and. filially produced an ingenious labour saving device for use in the manufacture of boots and shoes. This be sold while still in prison. He then set about think- ing up ether inventions. On the day of his' release he was offered a $5,000 -a -year job with a business firm. This, added to large royalties from his in- ventions, helped to make him a rich man. Singing Salesman Froin selling neon tubes to seeing his name in neon lights— that's the story of Dutch -man Jos Borelli, who has just been appointed first baritone of the Koblenz Municipal Opera. Ten years ago he was travel- ling from town to town fn the Netherlands, selling neon tubes, and making quite a good living of it. Then one day as he happened to walk through the streets of Amsterdam with his sample brief case, he heard that an au- dition was in progress at the Op- era House. On the spur of the moment Jos deposited his case with the porter and rushed in. Approach- ing conductor Joseph Krips, hg introduced himself as the sing- er Jos Borelli from Italy. Krips did not fall for that one, and told him firmly to go. But being an accomplished salesman, Jos Borelli stayed put, and after a while Joseph Kripps, astonished by such persistence, relented, and said he'd hear him. Jos sang an aria by Mozart, and was immediately offered a job. He sent back his samples to the factory and started a new and successful career as a bari- tone. Now, after much success in Amsterdam, he has gone to the German opera house at Ko- blenz. He has also been asked to give recitals for the Danish and West German radio.
