Joe Louis, the new Negro holder, was knocked down in the first round by Jimmy Braddock in their savage heavyweight championship. battle at Comiskie Park, Chicago, on June 22. The former cham- pion floored the challenger with a hard right to the head, but Louis got up before a count could be started. The contender then pounded away at the champion's chin and body with such terrific force that Braddock was out on his feet in the seventh, and took the count in the eighth.

Newport (Rhode Island), Today.
Endeavour I yesterday defeated Ranger, de- fender of the America's Cup, in the Eastern Yacht Club's race over a course from Vineyard Haven to Newport, winning by 90 seconds from Yankee and three minutes from Ranger.
Endeavour 1 was lent by Mr. An- drea, one of Britain's best-known Towners of the "J" class yachts, who very sportingly agreed to lend his craft to Mr. T 0. M. Sopwith for a series of trials in American waters to decide which of the two vessels is to challenge for the America's Cup.
This interesting experiment re sulted in the unanimous selection of Endeavour II which proved much the faster of the two boats.
