Show IK T"K nri.l.KTlN, H1V.I1 '.m ( VNYON, 1 T H PI IN VIEW of a number of some- - what sombre events that have taken place lately, it is now a simple matter to announce Joe Louis' next defense of his heavy- - weight championship. In the new program, Louis will meet Joe Baksl. Ollie Tandborg, Easzard Charles, Violent Kay and Jersey Joe Wal-cott- , under the fol-lowing condition! he Is to knock out each one in a sin-gle round, for which the price of admission will be $2. As usual, being a Joe Louis quU.k thln)ceri U re-mained for Louis to call the turn on a September tight in these words "I don't believe anybody would pay 15 cents to see me against cither Uaksi or Tandborg." The price for Ezzard Charles or Violent Ray might be lifted to SO cents. All of this Is fun for everyone BXOept Joe Louis. Here Is one of the Croat heavyweight champions of all lime a ar holder of the ring's big crown a lighter who can't defy the challenging years much longer with no one to light. No one knows this better than Joe Louis, with a purse ranging from faOO.OOO to $1,000,000 waiting if only one fair challenger had emerged from the morass while he was In the army for four years. If you picked out the five leading challengers today, I believe Louis, given 20 rounds, could stop them all in a single September evening. Pro-vided no motorcycles were allowed in the ring. Boxing $ Oddest Turn The second Louis - Conn fight looked to be a natural. It turned out to be the greatest of all heavy-weight flops. The Mnuriello nlTair wasn't even a work-out- . And yet, today, Mauricllo is a better "fighter than most of those suggested for a September massacre. It is only natural that Joe Louis would like one more fight before bowing out. But it so happens that in the last five years no heavy-weight has come along who could even tie his shoes. There were ear-lier predictions that, with thou-sands, perhaps millions of soldiers taking boxing lessons In the army and navy, at least one or two could be developed. The first shock I got came from Jack Dempsey, who worked 10 hours a day with 10,000 men for many months. "The best fellow I've seen," he told me, "can't even chin himself twice." Here's a target or a goal the heavyweight championship worth one million dollars. The defending champion has been knocking around for over 10 years. And yet, with sport's richest prize at stake, there hasn't been even a good secon-d- rater developed in the last five years. Baksi Maurielio Walcott Ray Tandberg Woodcock two middleweights of the past, Mickey Walker or Harry Greb, could take them all apart without any extra effort. Just why this happens to be, we wouldn't know. Golf has Hogan, Nelson and a flock of others. Tennis has Kramer and Riggs. Racing has Assault, Armed and Stymie. Baseball is packed with high-clas- s talent, Feller, Blackwell, Shea, Mize, Cooper, Williams on and on. The middleweights are packed with good fighters. Ray Robinson is cer-tainly an able welterweight. But, outside of Louis, the best you can say for the other heavyweights is that they can breathe and eat. Especially eat. Attendance Surprises The number of human feet that find their way through various turn-stiles is always the main tip on pub-lic interest. It is also one of the main arguments among camp fol-lowers, liach rabid fanatic is a hot rooter for his own game. There was an early report that baseball, racing and boxing, three of the major sports, would take a dip this season. The pessimists were only partly right. In the check-u- p to date, the answer is that baseball is still the national game, with lengths to spare. Racing has taken its only impor-tant dip in New York. It is setting new records in California. It is O.K. In New Jersey, where Monmouth has more than made good in public comfort. Boxing is well down for the simple reason there are not enough good fighters left to fill out a card. Or half a card. Louis, the heavy-weight champion, has no opponent in sight. Only the middleweights have any combined class with Zale, Graziano, Cerdan and La Motta. The lightweights are a drab lot, as far as any public appeal is con- - cerned. The major surprise has hit base-ball. Few figured that 1947 would approach the more than 18 million who visited big league parks in 1946 But, despite the worst spring In history, plus a wet, cold June, there is a good chance this 18 mil-- ! lion mark will be broken.

Son Loses Grip on Mother; Fall Fatal He Held Her From Apartment Window Near White House. WASHINGTON. The wife at a Maryland farm owner slipped from the grasp of her son after a struggle and fell eight floors to her death from the window of an apartment building a few blocks from the White House. The woman was Mrs. Helen P. Bcrlage. She and her husband and son lived in two apartments on the top floor of the Jefferson apart-ments here. The son, Thomas N. Berlage Jr., said his mother went to the window without warning shortly after 10 a. m., and climbed out. He rushed after her and grabbed her wrists just as she was about to let go. For three minutes, while he screamed for help out the window overlooking 16th street, the son struggled to pull his mother back to safety. Finally, his grip loosened and she slipped to an awning which covered a window on the floor below. The son started out the window after her, but her body edged off the awning and plunged to the slde- - walk. Police said she lived only a few minutes. They said her husband, Thomas N. Berlage Sr., owner of an Olney, Md., farm, told them his wife had undergone a serious operation about Easter and had been de-pressed since. The couple had two other children. Witnesses on the street tried to Improvise a net below the woman as she dangled from the window, but did not succeed. wMaW.'.4W WlaaMBHBoMstWWaaaMieBBPe i .. ilMS m ..rger www 'GRINNING GUNMAN' CAPTURED . . .

S- - Income Tax Cited As Aid to Farmers MOUNTAIN VIEW, OKLA. - Do you complain loud and bitterly about that mounting levy which Uncle Sam surreptitiously sneaks from your pockets in the form of in-come tax? If you do, particularly if you're a farmer, you may obtain some con-solation from a local banker, who contends that the federal income tax has helped Oklahoma farmers. R. M. Kobs, president of the First National bank, maintains that many farmers are making more money than before because of the income tax. Paying the tax, he in-sists, forced farmers for the first time to add up income from the "little things" like milk and egg checks and feed sales. "As a result of having to figure their tax," the banker concludes, "farmers have come to know just what profit they are making from some crop, instead of merely guess-ing they're getting along all right." Son Accuses Father in Strange Paternity Suit LOS ANGELES. A suit seeking to have Lester Burnett, 46, declared father of two children born to the former Angelina Pizzuto while she still was the wife of his son, Lester Jean Burnett, 28, was entered in superior court. She now is the wife of the elder Burnett, whom she married the same day she was divorced from young Burnett after a mar-riage. The son claimed the elder Burnett admitted paternity of the children, Lester Bryan, 8, and Rose Marie Burnett, 6, now in his custody. His petition stated the younger Burnett, now remarried, never claimed the children as his own and that his father has assumed respon-sibility for their support. The suit alleged that 10 years ago the elder Burnett and Angelina, then 17, prevented from marrying because of her parents' objection to their difference in ages, arranged for her and young Burnett, then 18, to marry. The young couple never lived to-gether following the ceremony, the suit claimed. The three set up housekeeping in the same home, the suit charged, and subsequently An-gelina gave birth to the two chil-dre- . $100,000 Coal Grant Remains Unused for Period of 80 Years PITTSBURGH, PA. - For 80 years the sum of $100,000, intended to buy coal for needy families, has been kicking around here and no-body knows how to dispose of it. In the 1860s two wealthy men, Charles Brewer and James Craw-ford, bequeathed large amounts of money to West Penn hospital to buy coal for needy families. The hospital found that there were not enough needy residents in the designated areas to spend the fund. When the hospital took the case to court, the combined funds were ordered turned over to the Pittsburgh foundation. Jjjl w.
