NEW YORK, March 27 Tht
man said "no," but Johnny Cor
sica - probably wamt too much
surprised. Alter all, Commission
er . Landis is hired by the club
owners to keep them in line, not
to tell them how much to put on
lt
' . Gersiea is the yeung Detroit
T1ger pitcher who didn't like
the contract ' he was offered,
- lie nude the slight error of
appealing- to Landis, apparent
! ly under the impression that the
; commissioner would automatic-1
ally side with a ball player.
The slight error was the fact
that Gorsica didn't look behind
hiia first If he had the would
bava seen a drooping tail of nine
victories against 11 defeat and an
earned run average of 4.47 last
year, and without being too spe
cific about it Landis curtly inti
mated that you don't hit bingo
with those figures, and that John
ny would do well to accept what
was offered. He did.
Johnny might have been sent
vp as a sort of trial balloon by
Buck Newsom, although from
what we saw of Newsom last
year it should be the ether way
around, physically speaking. A
couple of more wheeses over a
tire pomp and Back would have
floated easily. He was that
rer-inflated.
Anyway, Buck probably was
watching with some interest Cor
sica's effort to make Landis kick
a few dollars out of the Tigers,
and If Landis had ruled that Gor
sica was entitled to more than he
was. offered, Buck would have fol
lowed his teammate . so fast it
would have looked like a double
steal.
' The commissioner really was on
a spot, as if he had ruled in favor
f the pitcher, next year he'd have
to put sideboards on his office to
take care of the players who didn't
like their contracts.
It would have been an interest
ing situation this year if Joe Di
Maggio, Whit Wyatt and the other
over the heads of their club own
ers and asked Landis to get them
what they wanted.
Landis always has leaned over
backward in his defense of the
- rights of the ball player. Al
, though hired by the club own
ers, he has been as independent
as the sun. If his employers
needed slapping down, he
lapped them down.
It wasn't so long ago that he
turned enough Tiger? hirelings
loose to stock a half-dozen base
ball clubs. Yet in the Gorsica case
be defended the same club. The
old gent plays no favorites.
We can imagine the Tiger bosses
gloating a little over the com
missioner's adroitly worded re
ply to Corsica, to wit: "On the
pitching record, I am unable to

There has been much grumbling
and groaning in the Tiger ranks
this spring over Walter Briggs'
sudden refusal to pay carriage
trade prices for dime-store per
lormances? Yet here was one of the pun-
Men who took bis ease as high
mm mm. M.UL and U teld that
'the wage offer waa fair. The
lb could point out to other
. waning players that the Gorsica
ease showed tbero waa nothing
wrong with the club's salary
scale.
And it would take a pretty
brave "guy now to take his wage
troubles to Landis. The old gent
knows how to read a record

Abe Takes Best
Champ Puts Out;
Soldiers' Benefit
By J5ID FEDER
Madison Square Garden, New York, March. 27-P)-Joe
Louis won a big one for Uncle Sam's soldier boys tonight.
The first heavyweight-champion in ring history to come
out of the army to defend that honor felled the game giant from
Long Island, Abe Simon, in six rounds, and with his fists rang
the cash register for the army emergency relief fund to the
tune of $50,000 or more.
With the roar of a crowd that
nearly filled this sports palace
ringing in his ears after Under
Secretary of War Robert Patter
son paid him tribute as a "fine
soldier and a truly great cham
pion," the Bomber chopped the
huge 255 Vi -pound man-mountain
down finally at 16 seconds of the
sixth round, but only after firing
his Sunday shots at a challenger
who took everything and asked
for more.
In fact, Abe was getting up
to come back to the wars at
the finish, but arrived on his
feet Just a split second after
Referee Eddie Josephs tolled the
clinching "ten."
A controversy came up as soon
as the fight was over, with Simon
and his manager, Jommy Johns
ton, insisting the big guy was on
his feet by "ten" and Referee Jo
sephs contending he hadn't quite
made it. Later Johnston, irate and
storming, announced he would ap
pear before the New York state
athletic commission next Tuesday
and demand that Joseph's referee-
ing license be lifted.
Twice earlier, Abie the Ample,
who went 13 rounds with Joe in
Detroit a year ago, was on the
floor. The bell sounded ending a
round each time, but once the
next heat got under way, he was
right back in there with a bother
some left jab and a rushing,
crowding, body attack.
NEW YORK, March
Joe Louis' first thought after
he knocked out Abe Simon in
the sixth round of the heavy
weight title fight tonight was of
his fellow soldiers in the United
States army.
The champion, who success
folly defended his crown for the
L 21st time and donated all of
his purse to army emergency
relief, was called to a radio mi
crophone as soon as his . hand
was raised in victory.
Said Louis to the radio au
dience: "I want to send greetings to
all the soldiers in Australia un
der General Mac Arthur and to
wish them godspeed.'
Yet, all the time you knew it
couldn't last that soon or later
Joe would put the crusher on. He
did, finally. Just as everyone
even Abe's best friends expect
ed, thus adding to his, great rec
ord as a fighter and a citizen. It
was the second time in 11 weeks
that he had fought for "nuthin'
'cept my country," as he put it
On January 9, he levelled another
giant, Buddy Baer, for the navy
relief fund, and, as he did for the
army emergency relief tonight, on
that occasion he also turned his
entire purse over to the benefit
The Job over, he , rests this
weekend, then in his own quiet
way, will be back at Camp Upton,
Long Island, on Monday to pick
up his Job of "gettin' to be a good
soldier." That's Buck Private

The fans poured their money,

Altogether. ll22l paid to ait in

to finish in this flag draped sports
palace, and lt was this same buck
private who headed a parade that
included all the gold-braided gen
erals, colonels - and majors who
could find the time to come. Joe
was the whole show.
The roaring fans didn't even
know the headmen were around,
and the 4000 soldiers in the Gar
den, recipients of tickets purchas
ed with contributions mailed to
the army relief headquarters,
were looking for Just one fellow
only their own man. -
Joe didn't make them wait
long. He went right to work as
soon as Vocalist Jerry Cooper sang
The Star Spangled Banner : and
Undersecretary Patterson com
pleted a short speech from the
ring in which he said,- addressing
the uniformed men in the house,
1h enemy is trying to take our
championship from us, but they
are not going to do lt you are
going to lick the tar out of them."
"Joe Louis," he went on, "ls

count of two the ben sounded, but

the next he charged Louis all over
the ring, carrying the greatest
sports figure of his era into the
ropes and bouncing big pole-like
lefts and rights off Jors tummy.
