Story of Heavyweight Title
Match with Lesnevich False
DETROIT, July 20 - (P) -
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis,
commenting on reports he might
return to the ring for a Sept. 22
bout with Gus Lesnevich, said to-
day, "I don't know where those
rumors come from. I've retired
and that is all there is to it."
Louis, in an interview with
Lyall Smith, sports editor of
The Detroit Free Press, ap-
pearedta bit irked over the re-
ports that he would take on
Lesnevich, the light heavywight
champion.
Louis' comments were in con-
nection with a copyrighted story
by Nat Fleischer in the Septem-
ber issue of Ring Magazine. In
that article, Fleischer said Louis
had indicated his willingness to
come back for just one more
Fleischer said Louis indicated
that he is weakening in his re-
tirement stand and is willing to
come back for just one more fight.
"I can't go from one round of
golf to another," Louis is quoted
as telling Fleischer, "I have to
look forward to something more
exciting. Maybe I should meet
Lesnevich. I can beat him. I
still will be able to retire un-
beaten like Gene Tunney.".. ..
Lesnevich now is in London,
getting ready for his July 26 bout
there with Freddie Mills, a fight
he must win to' keep alive any
chances of a September date with
Louis.
Louis will be in Mike Jacobs'
office Friday, ostensibly to collect
his share of the movie receipts
from the second Walcott fight.
This is estimated at "about $100,-
000."
fight.
"I haven't seen or talked to Mr.
Nat Fleischer since the night after
my fight with Jersey Joe Wal-
cott," said Louis today. ,
The heavyweight champ said he
was tired of answering questions
about his retirement.
He added, "I have until six
months after the Walcott fight
to notify the New York Boxing
Commission that I have offi-
cially retired. Why can't they
give me those six months and
let me alone?"
Questioned by Smith as to
whether he definitely would file
the retirement papers, Louis re-
plied quickly, "absolutely."
John Roxborough, long time
manager and friend of heavy-
weight champion Joe Louis, said a

Cops Cup
In Regatta
Coming from behind the Uni-
versity of Michigan Sailing Club
captured the Invitational Regatta,
held by the University of Wiscon-
sin, Saturday and Sunday, July
17-18.
In Last Place
Michigan was in last place at
the end of Saturday's competition,
due in part to the fact that all
three skippers: Ed Bainbridge,
class A; Jim Rukin and Dan Cor-
topossi, class B, sailed their boats
under.
On Sunday the Wolverine crews
won first or second in all races
(there were 10 in each class) to
be awarded the Gold Cup.
Michigan Crews:
Art Napoli sailed under Bain-
bridge, George Matson under
Rukin, and Elaine Horan under
Cortopossi as the latter two crews
alternated in the class B competi-
tion for the victors.
Michigan scored 65 points to
win with Purdue, the University
of Chicago, and Ohio State f ol-
lowing in that order. Wiosconsin,
as host, did not compete for the
trophy.

"lot of pressure" is being brought
on the Brown Bomber to junk his
retirement plans and meet Les-
nevich.
Roxborough said he planned
to see Louis tonight and might
have some kind of a statement
then or tomorrow.
Joe's mother, Mrs. Tillie Brooks,
who had exacted a promise from
Louis that the Walcott fight would
be his last, said of the Lesnevich
report, "I won't let myself think
about it. I don't want him to fight
again."

Games Week Away
With the games little more than
a week away, athletes from many
nations continued toflood into
London's outskirts and the bat-

was' being draped in the main
railway stations.
Wally Ris of Iowa, crack 100-
meter swimmer, became the first
casualty in the American camp.
He went to an orthopedic hospital
for treatment of a "football knee."
Coach Bob Kiphuth said Ris
threw the knee out on Sunday
and that it had failed to respond
to ordinary treatment.
Several other Americans are
dropping about with colds, a more
or less natural result of hopping
across from 90-degree tempera-
tures to the damp chill of Eng-
land. "But we know what we are
up against and are getting ac-
climated," Kiphuth said.
