SANDY'S CORNER
COUNTRY TERMS. Overheard in the stand at Spriggens Park, when one player had a sort of headlock on another (a womana’s voice: That’s the way they kill fowls; give it a good twist, so and so." AN ELIMINATION! We had a nnssing fear yesterday that Jersey Joe Walcott would wake up from the blow from Louis that put him out of the light at Yankee Stadium, New York, u» find he v aa world heavyweight champion—Jo* Louis having decided to retire. But, naturally, there are to he elimination bouts to find a new champion. To come out of a count and be new champion would be a bit odd We are wondering at the moment whether Louis, by deciding to enter politics, has been wise. It is one thing to have an opponent in tl>e ring and knock him out. It is much, much harder to knock opponents out with ballot boxes than it is with punches.
