Show speaking peaking of sports vs louis bout Is sports riddle by GEORGE A BARCLAY W HEN joe louis and max climb into the new york tork ring to fight it out for the heavyweight championship on june 22 you can be sure of one thing the fight experts wont be out on a limb as they were were two wo years ago when these battlers first met in 1936 the were unanimous in picking louis columns were written about his superiority over the stolid betting odds made max aloni along shot it was simply a matter of how few rounds it would take for the lethal louis to do his stuff but you remember what happened it was a pugilistic cinderella story the underdog emerged as the lion the crafty mg got louis off balance at the start clubbed A MAX him ham repeatedly with his right over awed and out foxed him and wound up by knocking him out louis explodes louis looked bad A seven day wonder had exploded some who had been loudest in their paeans now solemnly insisted that joe was all washed up but he went on to lick a couple of setups set ups recovered his form and equilibrium and really showed championship caliber when he be knocked out jim braddock a year ago and won the heavyweight crown so today there is an air of caution about predictions it is an open and shut question you can get yes and no answers but few are willing to go unequivocally on record everybody is agreed that louis is ally more grown up than when he met two years ago everybody is likewise agreed that is physically a good deal older than he was at his time of life athletically a year or two makes a tremendous amount of difference in the performance of his legs his wind his timing he has looked good in his recent fights but it is a question whether he is now hitting as hard as he did when they met before but there are some imponderables involved and they can determine the outcome as well as anything else has louis recovered psych psychologically from the beating gave him will he be as confident against the german as he be was against jim braddock is probably as smart a fighter as gene tunney was he studies his opponents and depends on what he learns about them to crush them he made several transatlantic trips in order to get firsthand evidence about louis strength and weakness before their last fight both louis and have demonstrated that they can be knocked out it is a case of superior ring cratt coolness and experience against auth youth and great natural abil ity gameness may be the determining factor but whoever wins some interest ir IBS possibilities will be opened up V JOE LOUIS in n the
