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 Sailing Clubn 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. iI 1l BARGAIN DAY SPECIALS TODAY (Wednesday) ONLY I Summer White DRESS SHIRTS $1.00 SWIM TRUNKS $1.00 BASEBALL CAPS 50c Fancy Knit T-SHIRTS $1.00 Reg. $1.98 Short Sleeve SPORT SHIRTS $1.99 CHAMPION JOE LOUIS ...

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."

After two days of sunshine, there appeared to be an even chance that themain American team might unload at Southamp- ton tomorrow under clear skies.

Flag-Raising Thursday After settling into their camp tomorrow, all the American ath- letes, men and women, will gather at Uxbridge on Thursday morning for a flag-raising ceremony. The Americans will have fresh white bread for supper tomorrow night, flown in by plane from New York.

I I the grayish stuff Britain is putting up with. 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- tered old city began to dress her- self, up for the occasion. Bunting 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.
