SPORTS AT A GLANG£
BY T. R MrROBERTS
Louis Will Fight Winner—
Joe Louis, brown bomber of De
troit, will figbt in London, July 30,
the winner of an elimination series
to be held in the British capital.
Among those taking part in the
elimination series will be Matt Baer,
former champion pugilist of the
world; Walter Xeusel, Ben Ford and
Tommy Farr. Maybe it would be
better and attract more attention if
they would eliminate the elimination
series and put the -four inside the1
ropes with the Bomber and tbetr set
hack and watch hirrf explode.-* Ten
chances to one that only one man
would- come out under his own pow
er. If Schmeling affected Joe Louis
at- all. it made him a- better lghSer.
Anyway, he continues to go merrily
along knocking the Wind out Of the
sails of young aspiring heavy
weights, and gaining valuable exper
ience without Hurting himself.

for a match with Freddie Steele

been consistently knocking them
over and "Some of the ambitious op
ponents were plenty tough.
