‘MANN PAIRED “WIT
Italian Be Doser
Given Chance
Joe’s Title to Be at Stake Feb. 23; Challenger Is Popular ular Fighter.
| By LESLIE AVERY
| United Press Staff Corre : NEW. YORK, Dec. Ss
Mann began pegging leather eight years ago when Santa Claus left him a pair of boxing gloves, and old St. Nick returned today fo stuff the New Haven, Conn., youth’s stacking with a match for the world heavyweight tite. When Mann faces Joe Louis in Square Garden on the night | Feb. 23, it will be the first indoor heavyweight title defense since Jack Dempsey risked his crown inst Bill Brennan in the Old arden, 17 years ago. Nathan was cnly 14 years old when Santa left him those first mittens of maul. He bore the name of nn as he battled his way dh x e amateur, middle and t heavyweight divisions.
One of Series
Officially the February hout is one of a series of three tune-up contests that titleholder Louis to under his belt before Max Eh mening turns up for that scheded “million dollar” June title tch.
+ | Nevertheless, the Brown Bomber’s
title will be on the line. ‘When the distance was set at 15 rounds, Chairman John J. Phelan of the New York Athletic Commission, said “the Commission's rule on this point is specific, at 15 rounds, it constitutes a championship match.” | Because of the title risk involved, Louis’ manager, Julian Black, insisted on a clause in the contract that the champion would be given a return match should Mann score gn upset victory.
Percentage Increased
Promoter Mike Jacobs offered the match to Mann early in the week, but his co-managers, Billy Brown and Jimmy Di Angelo, demurred at the clause whereby Nathan agreed to defend against Louis within 60 days. They waived this clause when Jacobs agreed to boost Mann's percentage of the gate from 10 per icent to 15. With tickets scaled to $11.50 for ‘best ringside seats, the Mann-Louis ‘bout should draw at least $100,000. The Connecticut clouter is popular 'in New York.
