JOE LOUIS DEFENDS HIS BOXING CROWN AGAINST SCHMELING TO-NIGHT Champion Out For Revenge; German To Fight For His Fatherland

By Frank Breese United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, June 21... Max Schmeling of Germany, former heavyweight champion of the world, will attempt to regain his title to-morrow in a 15- at the Yankee round bout Stadium, New York, against Joo Louis, present holder of the heavyweight crown.

The Oght hes aroused greater | interest among boxing fans of the rince the world than any contest night, almost two years ago, when the German knocked out his Negro opponent in a spectacular battle in which Louis was the heavy favourite.)

So, the title passed to Louis when the Negro knocked out Braddock a year later, in 1937.
