Charles Dispossesses All Joe 9 s ChUlun:
TS7 WEMMPAWNING FISHTAILS all over toe townaf ter&
Charles tricked nearly everylxxiy by
at Yankee Stadium toe other night. And “Uncle' was also piecing

otU> South Street in Dear old Phflly. The sidewalk in front of toe
Hotel Theresa looked like the dock where the Queen Mary ties up,
what with all them trunks, suitcases, laundry bags, overcoats, sho
tted together by toe laces, hatboxes. hotplates,'thermos Jugs, golf
bags, and cases of whiskey stacked along toe curb waiting for taxi
cabs or the police to come by and remove em. You B ®f* t l harte ?.
a lot of Joe’s Ohillun evicted, not only from toe hotels, but^ from them
rooming houses where many had planned to stay on in Harlem and
ball ’n’ that ain’t all until the World Series. But Charles figured he d
upset all them that said he couldn’t and wouldn’t. All week up untU
toe fight, in fact, up until half hour before Joe and Es climbed into
toe ring, they were buying enough whiskey to float toe Mg *«• Ail
that jive stopped dead as a doornail 47 seconds after toe Referee,
Mark Conn, raised Charles’ paw as the new heavyweight champion
of the world.

It’s a funny feeling, they say, to go down the line on a “he can’t
lose” proposition with your train fare, your rent money, your over
coat in hock money, your old lady’s savings, your fishtail, and your
fatback and rice money, and then see it all going down the drain
at one time. It’s hell, Jim, especially with Hawk blowing all kinds of
cold notes and chords in that new arrangement he’s scribed for his
“November Suite,” his “December Nocturne,” his “January Blues”
and his "February Breakdown." All the gay people that streamed
into the Big Apple convinced that toe Old Hoss could pack one more
load up the hill, were making their getaways as fast as the North
Koreans are getting behind that 38th Parallel. Before the fight, you
couldn’t say the word “Charles,” without getting cussed out or being
regarded as a traitor (although both Joe and Es are on the “Sam
Side”). Up and down Seventh Ave. they were betting up to $5,000
on Louis in the 4th, the 6th, the 10th, etc. The talk was how Joe was
going to knock Esxard’s gizzards out or tear off his head or send
him back to Sixth and John in Cincinnati, a forlorn, sorry young
man.

Now they’re moving off Sugar Hill by pushcart, baby buggy, go
cart, taxicab and by foot because Charles didn’t go for the okey doke
and get his head whipped as most everybody expected—and wanted.
It’s worse this time than when Schmefing kayoed Joe in their first
fight and almost caused a mass eviction of Harlem where everybody
had bet down to the baby’s milk money that the Bomber would bomb
and boom Max into oblivion. Few can realize what happened, but
there is no denying that toe exit of Joe Louis as heavyweight king
has brought about a tremendous change on toe glamour and balling
fronts, not only in Harlem, but in Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago, Loe Angeles and in such whistle stops as Pitts
burgh, Columbus, 0., Buffalo, St. Louis and Kansas City, whistle
stop meaning towns five people shy of the total population of New
York, London and Calcutta.

ONE THIN'I, THE RESULT OF THE FIGHT will probably clean
the Louis setup of all them hangers-on, leeches, human vam
pires, gay no-gooders, bootlickers, jivers and connivers, and
whatnot who formed a line behind the former champ as long as the
one at the relief headquarters. Somebody said there never was a
greater spectacle of activity in jumping and scrambling away from
the fallen idol as occurred once it dawned on a lot of people that
the honeymoon was over and that every tub must sit on its own bot
tom. The Faithful Few like Freddy Wilson, Mannle Seamon, Marshall
Miles, Klah Sales, and Big Georgie Nicholson can now get the com
mendations they deserve since they were evidently sincere in their
great love for the Brown Bomber and their willingness to go through
thick and thin for him, whatever the consequences. All those phonies
that rode the bandwagon so long as it was heading down Broadway
are jumping as though the Louis Train carried smallpox or the
mumps. But they ain’t jumping onto Charles’ wagon. Es made that
dear at his camp before the fight. They aren’t up here with me
told me . “and, Dan, damned if I’m going to let ’em in after
I beat Joe Louis. I know what they are and what they stand for. Count
pie out!

BACKDOOR CLOTHESLINE: Word is going around now that
Louis lost the fight that Billy Rowe has been forced to go back to
work the Pittsburgh Courier. Not that there is any
