1941 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Louis Pounds Simon For 13 Rounds Before' TKO Victory (*.. Abe .Puts 'Up Unexpectedly Good Showing Big New York Challenger Hits Deck Four Times Before Bout Is Hlted By SID FEDER 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.

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."
