JOE LOUIS IS EASY WINNER Knocks Out Natie Brown In Fourth Round Wednesday Night Kansas City. Mo.. Fob 17 (U.R) - Joo Louis, negro heavyweight, had another knockout in the roc ord books today, but thej-e was no ; particular glory attached to it. for j Nati“ Brown, the latest victim, seemed only too willing to take the easy way out when Lottis turn ed on lite steam. Brown, a Washington. D. <’.. | fighter who held some sort of a distinction because he lasted lit. rounds with the Detroit negro i when Louis was just out of the i novice class, went down in the I fourth round. Tito time was 42 ■ seconds. The first three rounds were dull ' with Louis apparently unworried about the knockout. Brown, after sparring his way through the first | round, led a few timid lefts in the second, and as he got nothing ser I ious in return, tried hammering Louis about the body in the third. ' Louis still did nothing much about it. But with the start of the | fourth it was different. Brown must have realized that I the time was short, because he had read that Louis intended taking an ; early train back to Chicago w here i he is to sign for a titl“ fight with j Champion Jim Braddock Coming out with the bell Brown's manner changed. He looked frightened and before Louis had cocked his right or shot his 1 left he was cringing. Louis sizz-1 led a left to the head and Brown I ran for the ropes. A short left j and a right to the head ended it with Brown sagging gracefully to j the floor. He staved there until | Referee Walter Bates tolled ten. | whereupon he grabbed Bates and hauled him to the floor with him. 1 To Sign Friday Chicago. Feb. 18- (U.R)—Jimmy I Braddock came to town today to sign a contract for his first title in two years against coffee-skinn-ed Joe Louis at Comiskey Park the night of June 22.

Kelley, chunky right-hander of the Philadelphia Athletics . . . Kelley, 30-year-old rookie who won 18 games with the As last year, was one of the nnusung heroes of the Mississippi flood . . .
