THE SECOND GUESS
. .by Jack Carberry
A gentleman never discusses his
woman troubles. Sergt. Joe Louis
world’s heavyweight boxing champ- !
ion—the greatest of all time in this !
department’s humble opinion—is a |
gentleman. A Denver visitor Wed i

5,000 soldiers at Lowry field, flatly

>ut with characteristic politeness ,
■efused to discuss reports from j
'Jew York in which his attractive
vife. Marva, said she was going on .
the stage to earn money because ,
‘the Louises need cash.”
Joe’s civilian comanager, John
Ftoxborough, in Chicago, sounded
bis A on that one, saying, among
Hher things, that he was "flabber
pasted” and stated that “Joe and
Marva have busted up.”
The whole thing makes not one
iota of difference to anyone, as I
*ee it, except Joe and his wife. /
juy and a gal have the right to
their own heart troubles and what
business is it of yours or mine, any
way?
However, the announcement of
Joe’s wife that she has decided to
>ecome a singer and, as such, was
:resh out of employment, does j.ot
tell half the story—or possibly ev
sn the right one.
Joe, on his Denver visit, wouldn’t
iiscuss this either, but it ~>eems
that Joe himself no longer is what
the boys call a ‘‘rich millionai •e";
that, incredible tho it may m,
he might even be financially a
bashed.

AS IT IS
y
top-drawer league, both before and
after winning the heavyweight
championship of the world, he prob
ably received considerably in ex
cess of a million dollars as his per
sonal share of the purses, besides
other valuable considerations, as
the lawyer fellows say.
But today, if various local esti
mates are to he accepted as whol
ly valid, there’s so little remaining
in tangible currency that, if he dis
charged his outstanding obligations,
his solvency would be seriously
strained. Perhaps wiped out al
together
The obligations are (A) $50,000 in
personal loans from Mike Jacobs
and (B) $110,000 in back taxes to the
government, neither of which need
be paid until Louis is out of the
army and in the money again.
However, right now, they say that
the man presently may have to do
one of two things:
Either start looking for what is
approximately known as “move
ment money” or take the indcated
steps by which he can stop being
property-poor.
Among other things he owns a
farm ,a ranch and some other real
estate. He also bought a home for
iiis mother, set his family up in
various ways that were not inex
pensive and has endured the fre
quent "bite’ 'from friends without
a yowl.
But nowadays naturally the lat
ter is pretty much out
Louis hasn’t made a touch, as
they say, in the ring since he
fought Nova two years ago in New
York, and meantime, has seen ev
erything going out with nothing
coming in, save his $114 a month
and “found” as a sergeant in th*
cavalry.
Briefly, the old source of supply
was eliminated with an abrupt lack
•f ceremony, like the light, heat
and power company cuting off your
! current.
The proposed second meeting
with Billy Conn, which Secretary
of War Stimson reclared unconsti
tutional, was intended to provide'
the champion with what might be
called debt-and-tax money. But it
would only have been a stop-gap,
at best, since Louis later would
have to get more money to pay for
the money he got, which previously
had paid for the money he didn't
have.
In other words, he was bound to
wind up in the usual income tax
turmoil—and I don’t have to ex
plain that to you.
However, one of the best ways
of explaining about the money he
didn’t have is to mention the fact
that for seven years between 1935
and 1942, he has been paying into
the coffers of the t re .'usury depart
ment at least 40 percent of his
earned income.
Altogether, the government prob
ably Is “into” Louis for upward of
a half million dollars in taxes_ ..
Always assuming, of course, that
our understanding of Louis’ ar
rangement with his managers, Jul
ian Black and the above mentioned
Roxborough, is correct. A lot of
people, for instance, believe that,
Mike Jacobs not only promotes his
fights but has a percentage privil
ege operating against the Louis
purses.
The best information is that Mike
merely has exclusive call on the
champion’s services, while mean
time cutting Madison Square Gar
den in for 50 percent of his, Mike's
profits.
In the face of all this I think that
if Jack Dempsey’s proposed plan to
match Billy Conn and Joe Louis
for the world’s title, staging the
bout in New York with admission
by war bond, is carried out, some
provision should be made to cut
both fighters in for a piece of the
money.
It is all fine and good to give
and give, and give some more un
til it hurts, to every war effort.
But if in addition to all else that
Gentleman Joe Louis has given he
is asked to put his title on the line'
taking the chance of losing it—and
it is his all—then, like every other
businessman in the land he should
receive some compensation fci
what otherwise would, the way I
see it, be ‘‘confiscation of his pro
perty.”
This "title fight” idea of Dcmp
sey’s, in the face of things as they
are, leaves me cold.
How’s about you?
2 GO TO TRIAL ON
INCITING RIOT IN
DETROIT CHARGES
TIPTON AND LYONS
ACCUSED OF STARTING
TROUBLE AT CLUB; YOUTH
IS FREED
Detroit,—Two Negroes accused
of being the principal inciters of
Detroit’s race riot of last June 20
went on trial last Tuesday before
Recorder’s Judge John J. Maher.
Charles (Little Willie) Lyons, 22
years old, of 5815 Brush, is accus
ed of having concocted the story
of a Negro woman and her baby
having been thrown off the Belle
Isle bridge by white people.
Leo Tipton, 35, of 976 Wilkins,
is accused of being the man to
whom Lyons carried this story and
who then made the false announce
ment at the Forest Club, 704 E.
Forest, which the prosecution
charges fomented violence.
ONE DEFENDANT FREED
Judge Maher denied the motion
pf defense attorneys to quash the
case, but amended the charge to
rioting, a felony whose conviction
carries a maximum penalty of five
years in prison. He also dismissed
charges of rioting against a third
defendant, Harper Morgan, 17.
A jury of twelve women and one
man will hear the evidence, which
is expected to take at least two
weeks.
The first of 98 witnesses positive
ly identified Leo Tipton as the
man who made the Forest Club
announcement. Harold Lawsoa cf
the Forest Club, said that be was
on duty from 7 pm. to 2 am. that,
night and stood near the stage door
when the announcement was made.
At the request of Edward Els?
relli, assistant prosecutor, that he
identify the person who made the
announcement, Lawson walked ov
er and touched Tipton.
“This is the man,’’ he said.
Lawson said that he was stand
ing by the stage door when Tipton
jumped to the bandstand and seiz
ed the microphone. Then, Lawson
said Tipton jumped down again in
to the crowd of 600 to 1,000 danc
ers who suddenly were galvanized,
into a milling throng, all stream
ing toward the exits.

“Little Willie (Lyon) is responsi
ble for the darkest day in Detroit’s
long history, 35 people killed and
thousands of dollars worth of pro
perty damaged—just because he
was paying off a grudge,” Elsarel
li told the jury.

tempt to prove that Lyons had
had trouble at Eastwood Park on
June 6 when he was refused ad
mission, and again wiith white per
sons on Belle Isle the afternoon of
June 20, and that Lyons had de
liberately made up the story about
the Negro woman and her baby to
“get even’’ with the whites.

t’s no longer TABOO for girls
to talk of this possible help
You can’t expect a grin-and-i> . r
. attitude to bring relief from the
istress of periodic, functional pain. |
Perhaps that’s why so many
■omen use CARDUI. It has a 62
ear record of 2-way help, when
iken as directed: (1) started three
iys before "ycur time,” it should
e!p relieve pain due to purely pe
riodie, functional causes; (2) taken
as a tonic, CARDUI usually im
proves appetite, aids digestion by
increasing the flow of gastric
juices, and thus helps build resis
tance, which often aids in minimiz
ng periodic functional distress.
Try CARDUI. You may be glad
you did!
