BROWN BOMBER DEFEATS MANN IN 3RD ROUND Joe Louis Knocks Out Nathan Mann Wednesday Night Now York. Feb. 24 —(U.R) If It | hadn't happened in the square of ropea that for some odd reason they call a ring. Joe Lon Is would have to be indicted today for Mann slaughter. For one round this Mann — NaTlran Mann, 22. of Hamden. Conn. Made a fight of it. He hit the heavyweight champion of the world with several ' smashing right hand blows to the! head; he ruffled the Detroit negro with a series of left-hooks to the hody: and. in those few glorious moments, he probably saw his dreams of becoming the youngest champion in history about to be realized. Then, confident after a fine start, the New England farm boy made a fatal mistake. He threw caution to the wind and brazenly tried to slug with the mighty Louis. This gesture maddened boxing's “golden boy" for the first time in his career. Dead-pan Joe . Louis became a snarling killer. Exactly five minutes and 56 seconds later. Mann fell to the canvas in Madison Square Garden for the fourth and final time, a victim of - Last Time Tonight - “BOY OF THE STREETS” Jackie Cooper, star cast. ALSO — Cartoon.

Louis could not I have been any more effective if he , I had carried an axe in one hand and ! a black jack in the other. The crowd of 19.490, which had jeered Louis when he entered the ring rocked the rafters when Louis drove home the killing blow —for at last he had become a sav ] age, menacing fighter instead of the cold, calculating automaton of I old. The fans paid $111,698 49 to see the fight. The question now: “What will t Louis do when he meets Max Schmellng this summer?" And most everyone agreed that if the champion fights like he did last ' night. Schmeling will not repeat ’ his upset victory of June. 1936. In the first round. Louis was cautious—waiting for an opportunity to drive home with his murderous left. Midway through the] round. Mann landed a light left ' to the body and followed with a I right to the head. He scored with rights to the head, backing Louis ' to the ropes. The crowd roared i its approval. Louis seemed a bit flustered and Mann won the round by a safe margin. In the second. Louis tapped a' light left to the nose that drew blood. Then, using the blood as a target, he landed again and again with the left. Mann became wild: he tried to slug with Louis. He . drove the champion to cover in a neutral corner but Louis moved out—his right drawn back, his: eyes narrowed. He clipped Nathan with that right, sending him to the j canvas. When Mann arose. Louis swarmed over him but the round ended five seconds later. During the intermission. Mann’s handlers worked frantically to restore his senses. Louis sat in his. corner, cool. calm, confident. At the bell, Louis rocked Mann I with a left to the face and followed with a left to the mouth. Louis floored Mann with a right to the head but Nathan, his brain clouded, rose automatically without taking! a count. Then he went down for a count j of three from a right to the head, ] I Referee Arthur Donovan looked I for a moment like he might stop lit but he did not interfere. Louis moved in fast. He drove a savage left hook to the head. As Mann started to waver, Joe caught him flush on the jaw with a right. Mann was knocked half way through the ropes, blood pouring from his mouth and nose. He bounced off the ropes, slithered to the canvas on his hack, rolled over onto his stomach and drew himself up to one knee as the referee waved the count above his shaking head. At nine. Mann tried to rise. His legs refused him and he fell back to one knee as Donovan tolled off the fatal "ten."
