This fallen idol was Joe Louis. Not until his haudlers told him about it, did the brown bomber have the faintest idea of what transpired between the time the surprising Dutchman floored him in the fourth round until he was dispatched to Dreamland in the twelfth round “I was in a fog out there. I just went in and tried to punch, tried to keep from being hit,” Louis said His handlers said Louis’s jaw and thumbs hurt, He had no steam in his punches and they were surpris- ed he was not knocked out sooner. GRANGER SEES HOPE FOR PULP IN TERRITORY It is one or the U. 3. Forest Ser- vice’s major thoughts to aid in pro- moting industry in Alaska, accord- ng to C. M. Granger, Assistant U, S.

Pulp Possibilities Seen The Forest Service, Mr. Granger emphasized, has not forgotten the possibility of a future pulp and pa- per industry in Southeast Alaska Th forest here is ideally suited for such a purpose an dthrough efforts made by the service several years ago the development of two large | mills seemed imminent. However, the depression stopped all progress toward establishment of mills after extensive surveys had been made, even after sites had been selected Since then, Mr. Granger said, two developments have arisen that might not be the best for early establish- ment of Alaskan mills. First of all, there has been considerable ex- pansion of paper manufacturing in- dustries in Washington and Oregon Secondly, experiments only recently have demonstrated the possibility of | establishing paper mills in the southeastern states making use of pine. Whether the southern devel- opment actually will be practical is yet to be proved, but in the mean- time efforts will be devoted to such | tests and these experiments natur- - HEWASINFOG VISITS MAX IN REPORTED FROM DRESSING ROOM Victor Said He Knew He Would Win — Com- plains, Low Blows NEW YORK, June 20.—Before the fight they said there would not be any use to go into Schmeling’s dressing room after Joe Louis had fil 1ed him, As matters turned out, only men with weight of frame could shoulder their way through the half delirious mob into the chambers of the Man | of Destiny, who refused to be licked. “Yah, Yah, I deed it,” shouted the lugging German. Schmeling said he should have; ended the fight in the fifth round but he said low blows had stung him considerable Max complained several times of being hit low.

OVER NEGRO IN TWELFTH ROUND Colored Bagtler Cih Keep Out of Way of Dutch- man's Righ! CROWD STUNNED BY BIG FIGHT UPSET Bomber Bombed to Defeat by Attack of Former World Champion YANKEE STADIUM, New York City, June 20.—Joe Louis, brown bomber was bombed to defeat hers last night by Max Schmeling’s ter- rific right hand attack. The veteran German won by 2 knockout in the twelfth round of what was to have been a fifteen round event. Crowd Stunned The result of the fight complete- ly upset all of the advance expec- tations and stunned the crowd of 40,000 spectators who paid $547,531 to witness the upset. Stunned is the right word to describe the hush that seemed to hang on the crowd and it was several minutes, appar- ently until the majority of that crowd that betted heavily on Louis realized they had lost, Louis had lost and Schmeling had come back —then—sportsmanlike, they cheered the winner and forgot the loser, That is what happens in the fight game. Those in the crowd who had backed the former champion were equally as stunned as perhaps as the majority, but their cry of victory was spontaneous and how they did cheer. _ Fatal Fourth Round Louis never recovered from the effects of a smashing right that floored him in the fourth round. He was severely beaten and finally top- pled in the twelfth round for the second and last fime under Schmel- ing’s final blast. The negro who entered the ring a prohibitive favorite was counted out after two minutes and tweniy- nine seconds of fighting in the twel®*h ravnd as he met defeat for the first time in his professional career, Never Threatened Max rated as the greatest heavy= v ht of his time, never even t ‘encd the 30-vear-old German who once held the heavyweight title, The negro's blows lacked their usual steam. The negro was completely out- boxed, outsmarted, outpunched and pounded around the ring round |after round by the smashing rights of Schmeling and finally crumpled land collapsed. Louis weighed 198 pounds and Schmeling tipped the scales at 192 pounds. s FIGHT BY ROUNDS RO(;;;ONE Both Schmeling and Louis came out of their corners slowly. They sparred in midring. Louis jabbed a left to Max's jaw. Max crouched slowly, then quickly retaliated. Max clinched as Louis rushed and they were in close quarters. Joe worked methodically but failed to counter after taking a right to the chin. Schmeling came off the ropes and took both hands to the head. Louis shot a right to the jaw. Max countered with a right to the body, Max hooked a left to Joe's head. They exchanged light body blows before clinching along the ropes. Max beat Louis to the body punch. Joe backed off as Max missed an attempt to connect with a right to the jaw. Max bobbed and crouch- ed while Louis feinted for an open=- fne. They were in a clinch at the bell, ROUND TWO Schmeling, carrying his left shoulder high, swung and missed a hard left. Louis cuffed Max with both hands to the jaw. They spar- red in midring. As Joe looked for an opening, Max landed two hard rights to the jaw. Max then took two blows to the head. Max duck- ed a right to the jaw. He was wild on the uppercut. The German's straight left stopped Louis as the bomber started to force the pace at a faster clip. Joe pumped a left twice to the nose. The referee thought the bell had sounded and started to separate the fighters and send them to their corners, but they were quickly recalled, but there was (Continued on Page Three)
