Sheer, Raw Courage 'Writes Final Note in Braddock Defeat T'HE job took longer than had been expected. That was a sore g disappointment to the gentlemen who had gambled heavily upon an ending within six rounds. But when the inevitable did happen it came quickly. That w4$ just as well. Long minutes had elapsed since even the most ardent Irish man in the bd.ll park had ceased believing that a torn, year-wor- n Jim Braddock was any match for the newest heavyweight champion of the World. Joe Louis, yoiihgest holder in point of service as well as of years of the most celebrated and profitable title in the prizefight business now, merely performed as expected while winning. Stronger, better conditioned, almost ten years young-e- t than the gamester who fought him in the manner he likes best, Joe looked far better than he did against Max Schmeling. It was not a great prizefight so far as technical perfection was concerned. Neither did Joe Louis, Second of his race to hold the title, show himself to be such a master of his work as was the dark - skinned Jack Johnson who knocked out Jim Jeffries 25 years ago. Yet it was a fight that sustained interest throughout ronnds until Jim Braddock the crashed Braddock to the floor, crumpled over on his side and remained there, knocked out for the first time That was because four rounds of the job that took longer than was expected there was a fighting chance that the inevitable would never arrive. Braddock, shrewd, cool, determined, gambling on happy ending before tired legs and a strong young opponent could do their work, won three of those first four rounds. They were the first, second and fourth. He was fighting too straight up, leading too much against the best counterpuncher of the day, but there he was standing up, leading. When a man does that you must grant him some claim to good fortune even though you also note telltale quivers in muscle-tense- d legs. That is what the crowd was doing. The new champion was money favorite in his home town but the early cheers were for the underdog. Braddock dropped Louis with a short right to the chin towards the end of the first round. Louis was up without a count but there were cheers even in the press row at this not too easily foreseen development. So also for the next four rounds when Louis backed up, fought cautiously and yet ever was prodded on the sure-thin- ; leg-wear- y, , ld It Over DY THE street of Bye-and-B- arrives at the house of Never.
