Louis Smiles More as Champ and Fighter Gains Grit
Joe Louis shows a buoyant, gracious demeanor since winning the world heavyweight title. He now grins, talks more, follows orders with ease, and trains with sparring partners who push him. The Schmeling defeat may have sparked the change, with a more focused camp ahead of his first title defense versus Tommy Farr. Louis stayed in great shape, not losing form in two months since bronze crown. Bobby Riggs eyes the No. 2 U.S. tennis ranking, confident the spot is open as Don Budge remains amateur. Riggs, 19, has won eight titles this year and aims to join the Davis Cup team next year, remaining loyal to amateur status despite a $50,000 offer.
