Louis Stirs Up Much Confusion in Heavyweight Fight Offer
Chicago reports an offer from Joe Louis to defend his heavyweight title for a 490000 guarantee at Soldier Field next June, triggering political and contractual confusion. Cook County Democratic chair Plunkett rejects the deal as too high, while Col. Arvey counters the party’s stance. Louis is described as a free agent by his lawyer with potential options including a seven month tour or an Onley Brothers circus offer, and negotiations involve 20th Century Sporting Club, Mike Jacobs, and potential opponents from Cincinnati.
