IBratton Beats Willie Joycfe By CHARLES CHICAGO; Nov. 1, 19-' lyear-old Chicago negro lad, who boxing at the age of 14 he loved the sport, stands lout today as the most dangerous for the world's light- SLAVE OF LOLO lad is held in slavery by Lolo tribesmen who acquire slaves by raids on Chinese villages. His duties include tending the flocks, and he shares food and water with his captors. American graves registration officers met this little fellow while searching Wulai mountains in western China, to verify reports that missing American airmen were being held as by Lolo Wirephoto: weight championship. The youngster is Johnny Bratton, a graduate from Golden Gloves amateur competition just two years ago.

He's a natural. Bratton, possessed with a spitfire left hand, thrilled an assemblage of 9042 in the Chicago Stadium last night by defeating the No. 1 challenger, veteran Willie Joyce, Gary, in a major lightweight upset. The action, without a clinch throughout the ten rounds, was so furious that the fans, who paid a gross gate of $39,067, were in an uproar all the way. Previously, Joyce, 28, an eight- year campaigner in three divisions, was -generally conceded to possess the best, left jab in the sport.

He discovered that Brat- Lon, a cagey boxer with exceptional hitting powers, owns one that is just a split second the spitfire. Joyce was the aggressor during the first seven rounds. He moved in constantly, but this was just what Bratton wanted. As a result, Joyce out-jabbed and outscored the frequent furious exchanges. At times, he made Joyce miss by- great margins to make him look ridiculous.

Try as he did, Joyce, who weighed to for Bratton, was able to score with only a couple of damaging blows. As a result of his victory, Bratton will box Beau Jack, the Georgia shoeshine boy, in the Stadium Nov. 15 in a ten rounder.
