BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Joe Louis is the first heavy-weight champion of the world to carry the title into the armed services of the American nation. He received his notice to report just before he entered the ring for his last fight against Buddy Baer. Although instructed to report in Chicago, Louis went right up for examination in New York two days after his fight, and entered the army three days later, January 14. Few people know that Joe is an expert marksman with revolver and rifle. He has an average of 47 out of a total of 50 with the revolver, but he has no hankering for any joja in particular. He doesn't want to teach boxing because he is still taking lessons himself.
