The champ really broke up the game—not in the same manner, however, in whicch he breaks up pugilistic hopoi and vihs his opp onents, but merely with his pre sence. The Joe Louis’ Brown, Bombers, soft ball team, was playing the Black Hawks, representatives of a local beer tavern, at Atkinson field, where 10,000 fans waited for^ an hour before game time because it had been announced that the champ would play first base fcr a few innings'. Joe sat among his players wearing dark sun glasses and a big le-horn hat turned down and the multitude failed to re. cognize him. They crowded on the field so close that the outfielders had to play almost on the edge of the diamond and the police failed in ther attempts to move thee row d back. In the fifth inning, when Joe arose, took off his glasses and hat in preparation to play, some one yelled, “There he is!” and the surging mob started running. Some thought he was coming and rushed to the gate to meet him, while th rest swamped the popular idol and literally rushed him off his feet and swept him on towards the gatd instead of on the field. Little children, men and Women, white and black tugged at his coat, frWd to shake his hand and the poor helpless champion looked be wildered. Police came to th1 re - cue and escorted the fight f *■* hs car and the game r'v°r. i The BombJprs won the abbreviated game 5 to 0. J
