2-C Sr. Petersburg Timet, Sunday, June 22, 1958 20 YEARS AGO TODAY JOE PROVED UNDISPUTED KING Loins Got Even In Second Schmeling Bout quickly was disillusioned by the sturdy fists of Schmeling, the methodical, who wasn't joking when he told reporters "I see someding" when Louis whipped Paolino Uzcudun. Soon it was all too apparent what Schmeling "zee." It was Louis' habit of dropping his left hand after a jab, leaving himself wide open for a straight right to the jaw. Schmeling hit the target in the fourth and Louis was down. Round after round.

Louis took a heavy beating nntil It finally ended at fighter and the young man they called the Brown Bomber. Two years earlier there never had been a better "sure thing" than Louis. The unbeaten golden glove graduate who at 22 was beaded toward the world championship with 27 straight victories, when he was matched with Herr Max for the first time in 1936. Schmeling, who held the title from 1930 to 1932, was in the midst of a comeback, a suitable opponent for the Louis buildup. Louis, the 10 to 1 favorite.

Max Schmeling and Joe Louis clashed at Yankee Stadium just 20 years ago today. June 22, 1938. Every record book of the ring records the violent end. One short line "Louis by knockout in 2:04 of the first" tells the capsule story. The 70,000 who watched and the millions who listened to the radio or watched the motion pictures never will forget Few boxing matches had the buildup of this fateful second meeting of the scowling German NEW YORK, Hate waves swept across oceans and boomed on distant shores in 1938 when a proud German and an American boy from the cotton fields of Alabama met in a prize ring.

Herr Hitler preached Aryan supremacy and shrieked of a master race along the Rhine as panzer units rolled into Austria. Munich was just around the corner. America too was be-' coming deeply involved. Against this background of hate and Inflamed nationalism, 2:29 of the 12th. Schmeling, who had left Germany without fanfare, flew home in triumph on the dirigible Hindenburg and was met by cheering crowds, a national hero.

That was 1936 but now It was two years later. Schmeling had been bypassed by Jimmy Brad-dock and Louis had won the championship while Max trained for a phantom fight. Louis had been brought along carefully after the first Schmeling disaster, and now he ruled the heavyweights. But there was one cninIc Viscusi ii Titfle Fights ROBINSON MISSES SHOESTRING CATCH Cincinnati outfielder Frank Eobinson takes a dive after missing a shoestring catch on Lee Halls' liner in the fifth inning.

Trophies will be awarded to winners by class with the horsepower capacity of the motor de termining the divjsion. The marathon is being sponsored by the Gulfport Aquaman- lacs. Brief Sports In People Tampa Keglers Capture Team Honors In Meet Is Busy Danny Nardict) before Nardico retired from the ring.) HOUSTON Tex. ta-Lou Viscusi a is a very nusy man inese cays arranging two world champion ship boxing matches.

The 250-oound Viscusi is man- ager of Roy Harris, who already has signed for $100,000 to fight heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson in August He also manages lightweight champ Joe Brown, who is expected to meet challenger Kenny Lane in July. There is a possibility both fights will be held in Houston. Viscusi thinks promoter Al Weill is fighting a losing battle to have the Patterson Harris fieht in Los Angeles. An an nouncement on the Brown Lane site is expected next week and there is a strong indication it will be July 23 in Houston. Brown collected $36,000 for keeping his title with an eighth- round knockout over Ralph Dm-pas here last month.

SIGN'S CONTRACT Harris. Viscusi and Harris' fa ther. Henry, flew to Los Angeles earlier this week to sign a con tract for the Patterson fight. Back at home, Viscusi side stepped a direct answer to a question about how much of the $100,000 Harris actually will re ceive. Instead Viscusi told bow he happened to become manager H.HARRIS R.

HARRIS of the Cut and Shoot, school teacher, who is undefeated in 22 professioneal fights. A year ago Henry Harris came to me and said he wanted me to manage Roy," Viscusi said. 'I'll give you, Roy's dad said, "50 per cent off the top and you pay the This is one of the most com mon contracts among managers and fighters although there frequently is a 60-40 division with the fighter paying the expenses. "I wondered how Mr. Harris was familiar with such an expression as SO per cent off the lop, but the guy i sharper than a lot of people think," Viscusi aid.

"So I said, 'I'll manage Roy if you stay the boss; let's just shake hands on that' A man's word is plainly his bond with the people in Cut and Shoot, a southeast Texas lumber and logging community about 40 miles north of Houston. Viscusi and Roy Harris never signed a contract. in his armour. Schmeling paraded around Europe, shouting from the mountain tops that Louis was afraid of him. A fire burned deep inside Louis, a gnawing pain that never could be eased until Schmeling was beaten, Mike Jacobs, then Mr, Big of boxing with his 20th Century Sporting Club, made the re match after Louis had warmed up" with a defense against Tommy Farr and two bouts with Na tie Mann and Harry Thomas.

This was no 10 to 1 match. Max, 32, was eight years older than the new champion but they still remembered what happened the first time. At ringtime Joe was the favorite again but only at 9 to 5. NO BLIND HATE In recent years Louis has said many times that he never had any hard feelings toward Schmeling. That he never hated with the Mind hate that knows no mercy.

Perhaps the years have softened the man and memories play tricks but the man who climbed through the ropes at Yankee Stadium 20 years ago tonight was in a mood for vengeance. Hatred smouldered in his eyes but his face was a mask. His body coiled like a steel spring, released by the opening bell. Ring historians say 41 blows flailed Schmeling's body and head before Arthur Donovan stopped it at 2:04. Maybe it was 40, 50 or even 60.

Who knows? Every man who watched always will remember the flashing heavy fists of Louis. Schmeling screaming in pain while clutching the ropes. Herr Max down for three, down for two and finally down on all fours while Max Machon hurled a towel into the ring. Tossing the towel on the ropes, Donovan looked toward the knockdown timekeeper whose count had reached eight before he spread his arms to signal the end. MAX YELLED FOI In his dressing room, a blood spattered Schmeling moaned about fouls and kidney punches.

When he left for Hamburg a week later he went directly to the ship from the hospital. Louis was the king, the undisputed king. Nobody ever doubted it again. At least, nobody ever said he W3S afraid of Schmeling. The last time Schmeling was heard from he was running a soft drink plant in Hamburg and operating a tobacco and mink farm near Hamburg.

He is 52 now. He and his wife, Anndy Ondra, the former film star, plan to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in Switzerland next month. Louis, now a balding 44, still is connected with the International Boxing Club on an annual salary. He has a business in Chicago and travels a great deal doing referee work. At last reports he had worked out some sort of a formula with the government for settling at least Fart of his income tax problems.

Twenty years even Max has one happy memory that $1,000,000 gate.
