LOUIS SETS
DECISION!«
MIAMI, Fin.. Feb. 8— C? —Jo
Louis, obviously pleased with his
10-round decision over Cuban
heavyweight Omelio Agram -ntr.
leaves for San Francisco today ; ■
fight Andy Walker in what lv1
hopes is the last stepping stone to
a title fight.
The 36-year-old Brown Bomber,
lacking the punch that earned him
;he world's championship more than
1 decade ago, failed to stop the el
usive Cut in with a knockout blow;
last night, but finished to 10 active j
three-minute rounds in good physi
cal condition. Louis weighed 200:
Agramonte 187.
Kis disappointment at not kayo
ir.g the Cuban was offset by the
fact he was able to turn on full
steam in the final round and still
feel fresh.
Agramonte, figured to hit the
canvas in four rounds cr less, ga\
the former champion a surprising 1
good fight and managed to hang on
as Louis pounded him in the fourth
and tenth rounds in knockout at
tempts.
Later in the dressing room Louis
observed: "It’s almost impossible
to knock out a man when he i;
hanging on to you."
Louis insisted he was “just abou‘
ready” to meet Champion Ezzard
Charles in a title match.

cific Coast Hockey League cellar j
