AINSWORTH— The Ainsworth
Lions club is bringing to this ter
ritory a man who knocked out
more heavyweight fist - fighters

That KO king is Joe Louis, the
famed “Brown Bomber,” who
ruled the world’s heavyweight
kingdom for so many years ancK
retired a few years ago.
But back income taxes, which
piled up while Joe was serving

“Bomber” out of retirement.
So Louis now is touring the
midwest taking on all comers in
a campaign he hopes will rocket
him back into the big time—and
a chance to get even with Uncle
Sam on those overdue income
taxes.
For his Ainsworth test, Louis
has accepted a mighty rugged
gent as his six-round opponent.
It’ll be Larry Hamilton, the St.
Louis, Mo., boy who won the Mis
souri golden gloves heavyweight
championship and went on to the
semifinals in the Chicago tourna
ment of champions.
