Welshman Wins Plaudits for Game Showing i Against Chaiiipion; Louis Spurns Fight With Max Schmeling This Year BY HENRY. McLEMORB United, Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 31 UJ Joe Louis, the brown boy from Ala- bara , still held the world's heavyweight heavy-weight feoxing championship today, to-day, bat that was about all. His " glamor was gone. No one spoke of him as the "dynamite "dy-namite killer." Na one compared him to the stubble-bearded Demp-sey Demp-sey of Toledo. No one thought of him as a ruthless executioner, with an ax concealed in each knotted fist. Because, last night, under the white lights, and in the sticky heat of Yankee stadium,' he barely oh so ; barely eked Out a 15 round decision over Tommy Farr of Tony Pahdy, Wales. Joe's margin mar-gin was so thin that when his arm was raised at the. finish, 33,-469 33,-469 customers greeted him with such tremendous boos that he held his arms aloft scarcely a second before 'lowering them and covering, cover-ing, his ears. Champ Draws Boot . The too', was a strange cry to him he who had. always been an idol and he seemed a little frightened. And, as if to get away from it all, the champion, his face badly swollen, his fists bandaged, caught a plane shortly after midnight and sped home to Detroit at .200 miles an hour. Perhaps he felt, as did all the spectators and critics, that he had won and lost. And that Farr had lost and won. Louis was a very ordinary workman work-man last night... in his tirst defense,' de-fense,' and agatost a challenger regarded so lightly that the odds against him were 10, 12 and even 15 to 1 at ring time, he could do nothing. Ana when the champion came out Farr, trained in the circus and carnival booths of the old country, tore into him, using his last bit oi strength to paw at Louis with lefts and rights. At the finish of the fight, when he stretched out on a . rubbing table, and held out his hands vo have the badages cut otf, Louis complained of injured fists, and said that the hurts,. . sustained early in the fight, had prevented him from scoring a knockout. Spurns SchjneUng- Fight Louis said s the . injury to his right hand the one he used to put Braddock away ;two months ago definitely ended any chance oi his righting Max Schmeling this year. When Schmeling, who watchea the fight from a ringside seat, was told ox this, he shrugged and said : "I do not care for alibis. Neither does the puUic. Did you hear the big applause the people gave me when i was introduced? The people, peo-ple, they are tired of seeing me given a run around. Soon Louis will have tofight me, and I will knock him out. ICasy, l knock htm out. He is finished." There were no alibis of any sort from the Farr camp. Neither Farr nor any handler would criticize criti-cize the decision. Tommy paid tribute to Louis as a clean, tair lighter, and a strong puncher. Asked if he thought the decision was unfair. Tommy said: Farr Satisfied i "I will let the American people decide that. I am satisfied, you thought I was a clown, and : - ' NOW LOCATED tin New Ground floor Dental Office at 71 South First East, 'directly east of City and County Coun-ty Building: Phone 162. Dr. Frank T.

He bled because most of his life was spent deep in a coal mine where the sun never had a chancer to harden his skin. Early in the fight a left hook tore open the wound under his right eye that he suffered in training, and shortly alter a ripping right sliced his leit cheek. For 15 rounds Farr iought the perfect fight tor a man who lacks a knockout punch. He never kept still, never offered Louis a shot at a set target. First he would move to the right, then to the left. Now he'd fight in a crouch, now he'd move in rrom an upright stance. He feinted with everything every-thing feet, hands, head and body.
