Joe Louis Sees
Alaskan Champ
Potential Threat
FOKT RICHARDSON. Alaska
— “Willie Brown is a 'n a m e w orth
rem em bering w hen you’re think
ing of heavw eight fighters in
post-w ar A m erica,” Technical
Sergeant Joe Louis rem arked
here recently.
W hen the Brown Bomber m ade
his tour of Alaska and the A leu­
tians, he boxed exhibitions at
ten of the posts w ith P riv ate W il­
lie* Brown, and at the com pletion
of his tour, flatly said th a t the
N egro heavyw eight’s left hand
was practically unstopable.
Brown, who gives his home as
1542 Jones street, San Francisco,
C alifornia, has been stationed at
an A leutian base w ith a Q u a rte r­
m aster unit for tw o years. He
was presented w ith a huge sports­
m anship trophy by Yank, the
A rm y W eekly, for w inning the
A laskan D epartm ent heavyw eight
cham pionship.
At the com pletion of Louis’
tour of the A laskan D epartm ent,
he was asked if W illie Brown
held any promise, and if he
thought Brown was a good
enough boxer to en ter the p ro ­
fessional field. “One y ear of a m a­
te u r boxing under a good tra in ­
er w ith proper handling, and
W illie could be a contender for
the heavyw eight crow n. H e’s a
fine boxer, and has a n atu ral
left hand," the Brow n Bom ber
replied.
W hile Louis’ bouts w ith Brown
w ere, of course, strictly ex h ib i­
tion, Joe th rew a few of his w ell-
know n left hooks at W illie d u r ­
ing the last one. It was, he said,
to find out w hether or not W illie
could take it. A fter the fight, he
told the A laskan D epartm ent
cham pion th a t he had "taken a
punch th a t knocked plen ty of
others o u t,” explaining at the
sam e tim e th a t he had throw n it
hard because of his personal in ­
te re st in the 21-year-old ring
promise.

Joe Waterman Turns Attention
To Future Ring Champions
Now that Joe Kahut has definitely proven his right to
the title of heavyweight champ of the State of Oregon,
(and maybe some other places too) by his fifth round K.O.
of wiry A1 Jordan, Joe Watterman turns his attention to
other and more pressing matters. The more pressing matters
being the youngster of the squared circle from whence
come the future champions. In other words Joe W a t e r m a n
is going to put on a Talent Show come Friday night,
September 21st.
