Louis Works on Body Punches POMPTON LAKES, N. J., May 30 UP .—Former heavyweight champion Joe Louis, who used to knock out his opponents without worrying about it, worked today on a plan to kayo Lee Savold with body punches when they meet in New Yorks Polo Grounds on June 13. Louis worked six rounds today with three sparring partners and threw nothing but body punches. He concentrated on left hooks and straight rights to the mid-section. Louis said he figured to weigh 211 pounds for the bout, first step in his campaign to regain the heavyweight championship.
