fighter of all time perhaps the subject could very sensibly be ducked today yet since the same well wellin in formed of pugilistic gospel seek to prove their omnipotence by advancing vane ing the delightful contention that max baer quit cold at yankee stadium it is possible that some mature c consideration will do the whole business no harm obviously louis Is one of the most gifted young men ever to receive recelle a reward in this racket that sometimes Is known as sport also he fie has been magnificently trained and the financiers who handle his affairs have done so with rare skill he is a talented boxer perhaps as superior in this line today as jack johnson was 25 years ago he hits hard and accurately with either hand that the baers Car cameras Bir birkins Birk kies jes pir rones browns and levinskas he has battered were not laid out cold as were various stalwarts stal warts upon whom sam langford and peter jackson practiced is not a matter of particular moment although louis seems to have more love of and instinct for fighting than did the ex marine his ring tactics mo more re closely resemble those of gene tunney than of any other mode modern rn champion and for all his eminence tunney also was a fighter who bruised and dazed his hii opponents when a man of lesser skill but greater power might have finished them with one blow that needed no referees count to prove its worth and efficiency such are the facts that have been made plain about him while he be has in such a short space and with such consummate ease been triumphing over raer baer carnera camera and levinsky that the three of then them two former champions and a man who once was the diest of also rans could not land a total of six punches on him la 19 another previously unconsidered fact that jog joe louis may very well be acclaimed as an extremely artful boxer not louis fault talent Is scarce that floyd johnson soldier bob martin bob fitzsimmons jr and jack mcauliffe second were young men of rare ability who received high ballyhoo and then collapsed when least expected need not be advanced as an argument that some day he may also blow up suddenly neither is it necessary to point out that probably all of these young men beat better opponents than he has yet faced it is not joe louiss louis s fault that heavyweight contenders are a dime a dozen now like dempsey sullivan and those other masters who preceded him he has met the best that have so far been available and has beaten them all A man can do no more what will happen when he be has out boxed outsmarted and quickly bowled over one or two more opponents and eventually gets around to jim braddock is something that no one can d decide e at this distance I 1 make only two predictions one of them is that joe then will very well prove that he be can take it and return it after taking it the other is that he will be m meeting a man as cold as himself as unafraid arid and possibly as well informed a as s to the value of a left hand in winning prize fights certainly louis met no such man upon his most recent outing baer seemed dazed even before he was first 3 slapped upon the lug V tle he performed as a alde open target made no effort to pick punches out of the air save with his chin seemed determined from the start to do as many wrong things g as possible that one of the max baer wrong things he did w was a s to quit
