Was Old Bomber Champion Louis looked like the old Brown Bomber and displayed the old punching power he was al- lowed to display in fighting remin- iscent of the days when he was a title contender. Mann looked like he had been put through a meat chopper. Round One Mann came out moving fast. He threw a long left that grazed Joe's head and forced the champion to back up. He then connected with hard: lefts and rights to Joe's head and drove Louis to the ropes. Louis locked confused as well as hu The champicn blocked cautiously as Mann looked for an opening.

Louis slugged at a furious pace. Louis floored Mann for the count of nine with a smashing right to the face. Mann was on the ropes exceedingly groggy at the bell. Round Three Louis came out of his corner fast, stalking his rival and hitting with both fists. Mann was dropped for the two count as he took heavy punishment. Louis then floored Mann for the three count. Mann got up and took another terrific beating and hit the floor for the count out. Foothall Pols Are Blamed for Church Losses NEW SOUTHGATE, Engiand, Feb. 24—A local priest complained recently that church collections were suffering because of the popu- larity of football pools. The pools, which are a ®ational craze, sometimes yield big returns for “investments” of as small as two cents providing the participant forecasts the winning teams. The priest did not ask his flock to give up the pools, but merely to send in fewer entries.
