By Joe Williams

NEW YORK, April 10.—The bums :ven’'t leaving their fight in the dressing room any more. This probably exvlains why Joe Louis 1s being forced to work for a living these days. He no longer gets any help from his old allies, fright, hysteria and terror. He has to roll his own. It used to be that Louis had his fights more than half won before the ink on the contract was dry. Fellows like Baer, Levinsky, Brescia and Paycheck were practically whipped before they entered the ring. It's different now. It has been demonstrated it's possible to meet Louis and still live. As a result the braver of the bums have taken on an insolent swagger. True, Louis still goes on winning, cutting up his opponents or stopping them outright but he usually has a battle on his hands. His bum-of-the-month program has developed into drudgery; it has taken him 21 rounds to win from the last two bums he faced, a fact which scarcely adds to his stature as the “greatest hitter since Fitzsimmons.”

There was nothing records to suggest they belonged in the same ring wtih the champion. There certainly was nothing in their records to indicate would prove annoying in the least From start we've wondered what was the purpose the bum-of-the-month tour: aside, naturally, from financial considerations There won't be anv heavyweight division left come October next. Louis will have beaten evervhody in sight. granting the unforeseen doesn’t happen. So what's the large idea? A guess is Louis is getting ready to join the Army. He's due to be called some time during the winter anyway. He may beat the gun and enlist. He's impressed by the thought his presence in uniform would be inspiring and to his race. Jack Dempsev was an unpopular figure in No. 1 because he wasn't in uniform. Louis 18 resolved himself against any such criticism.

NEW YORK. April 10.—-Twenty-eight persons. all of whom came In on oakleys, assembled in a small, white-washed room to watch Joe Louis take the licking of his life yor Joe had a terrible time. He didn't throw a punch and he didn’ duck a punch twice in one session and picked him up. As a matter of fact nobody could have picked him up for Joe wasn't there. He was somewhere the West, blissfully unare that Lou Nova was giving the business with his “dynamic 1c punch” (pat. pending) the first demonstration 1¢ new punch that Nova used king out Max Baer the other and the one he hopes will ring him the world heavyweight championship when he gets into the ring with Louis.

Round One

The customers settled into ther seats and Mr. Brown squared off against an imaginary Joe Louis in the semi-windup bout. It was plenty short and plenty sweet. Mr. Brown bowed his knees slightly, threw a {sharp left jab and crossed with his right. Never once did his body get out of the bow formation. Louis went down like a giant Redwood under the ax and there wasn’t any need for a count. Mr. Brown dusted off lis hands and passed out a typewritten statement telling how he did it. The statement said that this was “the official opening of the Hall of Human Dynamics in the New York Museum of Science and Industry The main bout was next and Nova entered the ring wearing gray slacks a blue-green sports coat, brown shoes and carrving a package thst
