PUNCH-DRUNK boxing promoters, wfco took bankroll beating in 1949, are eying the new year agenda with growing hope. Starting off the title fight talk in a big way is the 59 to 31 vote of the scribes that Louis will put his world championship on the line again, abandoning retirement. On top of that, two title are scheduled for January with St.

a heavy-hitting but aged United States veteran, will battle for the English version of the world heavyweight championship. And after that, well, Ezzard Charles may take on the winner, just to 'quiet the title," which is still In dispute. Charles is indorsed by the N.B.A. and the I.B.C., at present, but not by ether groups, here and abroad. Even this match would not completely clarify the situation, as long: as the "We want Louis" tom-toms continue to sound.

"Back Income Taxes' Prompted Louis's Tour. OUTSIDE pressure may yet force Louis to change his mind. As matters stand now the case AGAINST his reappearance in a title fight is as follows: Joe definitely has stated that he will not fight; that he-wants to remain a retired and unbeaten champion. Theodore Jones, treasurer of the Joe Louis Enterprises, said the retired champ is "just boxing these exhibitions to pick up some change to pay the $61,000 back taxes that the collector of internal revenue claims he owes." Louis as matchmaker of the International Boxing Club, arranged the "championship" fight between Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles, the winner, and would be in a false position if he came out of retirement to-meet Charles in a title bout. Louis's exhibitions wHI not end until his South American tour is completed.

Joe then will be 36 years old. But if the IBC needs him to bring back big ring business and if Joe continues to need money, anything can be arranged. Joe could emerge from retirement in an attempt to bring back the boxing game, which admittedly has gone very sour. The odds seem to be about 2 to 1 against this possibility. Many Titles Likely To Change Hands? THERE will be plenty of activity in the title business, in any case.

Willie Pep's appearance here is likely to result in a very thrilling struggle and will perhaps set a new local fight attendance record. Joey Maxim is expected to tap his way to victory over Mills in London, bringing back one of the titles held abroad. The other foreign-held title, that of Flyweight Rinty Monaghan of Belfast. Ireland, will then be the only world crown held abroad. Ray Robinson and Jake La-Mo tt a no doubt will get together, after Robinson defends his welterweight crown once more.

The expectancy is that Robinson, one of our greatest welterweights, will displace La-Motta as 160-pound king, and then surrender the welterweight crown.
