AFTERMATH OF THE LOUIS- I BRADDOCK TITLE BOUT Joe’s History-Making Punch In Eighth Round is Heard Around the World Chicago, July 2 (By Albert G. Remett for the ANP)—Last Tuesday nignt at Comiskey park’s memorable heavyweight champion ship fignt when Challenger Joe Louis ducked Champion Jim Brad dock's vicious right swing in the eighth round, retaliated with a left to the body then a right to the Champ’s jaw—Joe not only an nexed the heavyweight crown but his glove bombardmeiit—let out a salvo of rising intensity whose re verberations were heard ‘round the world. With the last down beat of Referee Tommy Thomas’ fatal count of ten over the inert body of fallen Gladiator Braddock, there ■was a mighty surge forward esti mated 10,000 colored fans among a total of 50,000, a wild, tumultuous roar that reached to the shores of Lake Michigan. Then followed wild shouts of joy as excited winners pulled down their “take,” while other thousands of Louis fans rush ed for the exls to hurry to other takeholders < n the South and West sides were they had placed bests on tha new champion. All the Btree's in the Souhside section soon became a mass of ex cited, cheering humanity. Traffic rules were suspended, street cars, buses and autos moved at a snail’s pace, if at all, and all feet seemed turned in the direction of the Great White Way—SouthParkway, at 47 61 or 56 street—where the scene took on tne aspect of a New Year's Eve celebration and a Mardi Gras rolled into one. Beer taverns, night clubs and the more pretentious cafes and amusement spots soon filled to ca pacity with singing, dancing, drinking throngs whose tinkling glasses were constantly raised in salute to the new champion. In the far Southside residence district, when Radio Announcer Clem Mc Carthy announced Hoe Louis as the winneir, it was the signal for a wild outpouring into the streets of men women and children, who danced wildly to the music of radios or the impromptu tunes of't.he revelers. Fireworks were set off, guns fired and always, everything, was one wild scene but a duplicate of an other farther up the street But the aftermath of the big fight jiad its tragic as well as hu morous side. On Chicago's far Northwest side the excitement proved to much for John Swarz, 68, white, and the grandfatner to LEGAL NOTICE Thomas and Thomas, Attorneys Omaha National Bank Bldg.

Listening to the radio broadcast at his home, Mr. Swarz heard Joe proclaimed the winner, died one minute later of a heart attack. Another fan, living on the South side and in whose mind there was never any doubt as to Louis being returned the winner, was worried alxut the seat sale at the big fight—he just couldn’t understand why all the $27.50 seats were sold, : so many in the $6 00 section were unoccupied. In Ijafayette, Ala., Joe Louis’ birthplace, his fellow townsmen I many of them related to him, “took ; the town,” danced in the streets in celebration of his victory, while the [ ] whites lined the sidewalks, gave them encouragement, both by word j and deed. Joe’s uncle, Albert Bar row, who works the big Barrow farm of 320 acres, was in Chicago, the guest of Nephew J1>e at the fight., going to the Windy City with a member of the teaching staff at Tuskegoe Institute. Samuel T. Boyea, a newsman, connected with the Georgetown Co lon, British West Indies, and a cor respondent for the Associated Ne gro Press, came to America for the first time, said after the fight: “Now that I’ve seen the pugilistic marvel of your country, I want to see Nature’s marvel—N iagara Falls which I shall visit on my way home.” In Philadelphia, that city’s 226, 000 colored population paraded throught the streets, shouted them selves hoarse, behaved generally as did their fejlow race men in other cities, elicited the terse comment, “noisy, but orderly” from tolerant police officials. In Detroit, home city of Joe’s mother and her family, citizens took his titular knockout v/ih comparative calm, little rowd iness giving the 52 motorcycle po licemen patrolling the district, kterdly anything to do. In Berlin, Germany, the official Nazi press, waxed sarcastic, on pa per saying: “Louis’ victory over Jim Braddock for the ‘so-called world title’ has no standing what ever.” They want Max Schmeling to stage his own “championship” bout by meeting England’s Tommy Farr in London. Said Der Angriff, German paper: “The German champion’s answer is clear: ‘We I have had enough of your wire-pull ing methods. Now we stage our; own world championship and the victor of this fight will be the true [world eamnion, recognized by all who set sport above the dollar’ “Pooh, Pooh I And a few more Poolis!’ reply 15,000.000 Ameri can Negroes and countless other millions of Jewery throughout the world. Jn Detroit, where he went two days after the fight, Champion Joe Loui3 rushed to the outstretched arms of his mother, Mrs. Lily Brooks, who the nght of the battle turned off the radio when Jim Braddock had upset Joe in the first round, knocking him to the canvas with a short right upper cut. Said Mother Louis: “I’m glad you’re all right Joe, but I hope you didn’t hurt Mr. Braddock TOO MUCH!” At the railroad station Thursday en route for their New Jersey home, former Cnampion Braddock and Mrs. Braddock paused to per mit news photogs to snap them Said game, Pugilist Braddock: “I laid off too long. Give me six months, and two more fights to get in condition and I’ll be ready for Joe again. I still believe I can beat him.” At his home on South Michgan avenue, early Wednesday morning, Champion Joe Louis got up shortly after daybreak, complaining of his m. m m -- - T T , , , , NEBRASKA PRODUCE 2202-4-6 North 24th Street Phone WE 4137 I Poultry and Egg Dealer* Oui prices are re as on sable, see ns first.

First Skirmish Won in Teachers’ Wage Case Rockville, Sid., July 2—The first round in the court fight to equalize the salaries paid colored and white teachers in this state was won here June 21st when the circuit court for Montgomery coun ty overruled tin1 demurrer filed by attorneys for tho county board of education in the oase of William B. Gibbs, jr. vs. Edwin W. Broome et al. Gibbs, who is a teacher-princi pal In one of the colored schools in this county, filed his suit seek ing to have the board of education pay nim the same salary paid tea cher-principals in white schools do ing the same work and having the snmo experience. The board of education through its attorneys, filed demurrer to tho Gibbs action which, if it had been sustained by tho court, would have thrown the case out. Tho action of the court menns that attorneys for the school board must now prepare within ten days nn answer o the arguments advanced by the Gibbs attorneys. At present, Gibb's salary is $012 per year whereas white teachers doing the same work are paid $1,125 per year. It is estimated the state of Maryland pays all its colored teachers a lump sum of j $500,000 less than it pays white teache.rs. If the Gibbs suit should be won, it will moan that a half million dollars more per year will go into tho pay envelopes of Negro school teachers in this state. It will mean also, that \ imilar Isuits will be brought in other states maintain ing separate schools for the races to get them to equalize the pay levels. Gibbs is being assisted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Pepple. — The Elite Cigar Store Direct Wire On All Sports Events Come In Where It's Comfortable Ladies Especially Invited Our Policy is Give You Service KuR-cnc McGill, Mgr.
