DETROIT, March 21. - (P) - The
impossible didn't quite happen to-
night but it came closerenough to
throw a substantial scare into Joe
Louis and his'fistic family before the
Bomber was able to do his work. t
With just a whale-sized heart and
a dazzling left hand, the New YorkI
giant, Abe Simon-the big target who,
wasn't supposed to have one chance
in a milion of lasting more than three
rounds-gave Louis a "helluva" fight
of it for 12 full heats before runningf
afoul of the Bomber's big guns in the
13th.1
With the greatest indoor crowd in
Detroit's fistic history jamming the
Olympia and gasping in amazement
at Simon's sensational showing, Abe
gave just about as good as he receivd
until the thirteenth. Then, floored
twice by heavy-duty right hand7
shells, he. got up and staggered help-
lessly into the ropes near his own
corner. There, Referee Sam Hennes-
sy rushed in and halted the bout.
witi Louis a tired technical knock-
out winner at 1 minute 20 seconds of
the thirteenth.
Simon was floored twice before the
13th round. He was down for no
count in the first and for nine in the
third.
Altogether it was one of the most'
surprising showings in any Louis bout
up to now, for Simon wasn't expected
to go more than three rounds, yet he
not only lasted 12 full heats, but was
fighting all the way to the finish with
a great show of courage and a fine
left 'hand.
Leonard Holds
Detroit Tigers
To Two .Blows
ORLANDO, Fla., March 2.-G()-
Dutch Leonard had his butterfly
ball in mid-season form today and
held Detroit to two singles over five
innings as Washington defeated the
American League champions, 7-5.
All of Detroit's runs were scored
off rookie Jimmy Dean who pitched
the first four innings. Four came in
the second when Buddy Lewis mis-
played Birdie Tebbett's grounder and
Gorsica singled after Dean had filled
the bases by hitting Rudy York and
walking two men.
The Senators collected their seven
runs during the first three innings
when Johnny Gorsica walked five
men, hit another with a pitched ball
and yielded seven hits, one a triple.
Relief hurlers, Harold Newhouser
and Al Benton, allowed the Senators
only two hits in the remaining six
innings, but bythat time the Tigers
were having other difficulties with
Leonard.

been held at the Chicago classic.
Twice previously this season a
Hoosier foursome has led the Wol-
verine crew to the tape-once in the
Illinois Relays and once at Butler-
and for this reason will rate as a
slight favorite tonight. But both
previous encounters have seen the
fast'-flying Hoosiers extended to the
limit, and their margins of victory
have been small.
Michigan's quartet is pinning its
hopes for an upset victory on the
fact that at least two of the Hoosier
speedsters will be doubling in other
tough events, while all of the Maize
and Blue speedsters will be fresh.

But Ralph has one last hope, whichl
takes the form of an analogical arg-
ument. In clironological order, in his
two-mile races this season he has
finished:
a.-- Fifth in the Veteran of For-
eign Wars Meet; Greg Rice won.
b.- Fourth in the Millrose Games;
Greg Rice dittoed.
c. - Third in the N.Y.A.C. Meet:
Rice set a world's record.
d. - Second in the Cleveland K. of
C. Meet; Guess who was first.
Now says our Ralph to himself:
"I have gotten better in each suc-
ceeding two-mile. Last time I finished
second. Tonight I run against Rice
and the others in the Chicago Relays.
So tonight I will finally beat him and
come in first. It stands to reason. It
is perfectly logical."
But maybe Greg never had a course
in logic at Notre Dame.
