W 'HEN heavyweight cham pion Joe Louis attempts to turn the tables en Max Schmeling cext week, he will be under a terrific psychological handi cap. Many fighters have reversed pre vious defeats and whipped their erstwhile conquerors in return bouts. However, few gladiators have managed to come back and win over a foe who showed overwhelm ing superiority in their initial dash. Jimmy McLarnin turned this dif ficult trick against Billy Petrolic He beat Billy twice after being; sub jected to a merciless beating in their first encounter. Stanley Ketchell, nailed by Billy Papke as ha ex tended his gloves for a first round handshake, took a fearful hammer ing in that bout, but kayoed Papke in a return go. How will the psychological factor affect the apparently stolid but none-too-thick-skinned Louis? He can never erase the thoughts of that brutal battering he took from the Teuton two years ago. Will he suf fer from an inferiority complex when he faces his old nemesis for the second time? : Max thinks he has the negro's number, and members of Joe's race are notoriously susceptible to hoo doos and so-called Indian signs. On the other hand, one hefty left hook can shatter any number of psycho logical advantages, and if Joe gets a good shot at the Schmeling chin, there won't be any need to worry about complexes and such. - CoMtltU. lilt, fcjr UwfMlmi frwUcmU.
