TITLE BOUT GOES INTO 11TH ROUND Challenger Tires and Loses|* net or $118,000 and Pastor’s share is | Fight When Hit by Hard Left CHAMPION DOES NOT DISPLAY OLD FORM Lacks Fire,Tury—FaiIs to Take Advantage of Opportunities DETROIT, Mich.,, Sept. 2L After chasing Bob Pastor around the ring in the Briggs Stadium for 30 minutes last night without get- ting anywhere, Joe Louis, making his first public appearance in De- troit since he became champion, knocked out the former collegian in 38 seconds after the eleventh round opened, to retain the world’s heasy- weight championship. Down 4 Times 1 Round After flooring Pastor four times in the first round and once in the second round, Louis could not do a thing with ' the back pedalling husky opponent, until his left shot out with sudden fury in the eleventh round. Pastor dropped, but managed to raise himself to his knees but could not get to his feet before referee Sam Hennessy counted the full 10. 40,000 See Bout A.crowd estimated at 40,000 fans contributed a gross of around $400,- 000 to see Louis successfully defend the title for the eighth time since he won from Jim Braddock in 1937. Pastor after a weak start, came in on the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds. Once in the eighth round he had the Brown Bomber befuddled with his two-handed sally. Louis weighed 200 pounds and Pastor weighed 183 pounds. Leuis Lacks Fire Last night, Louis was minus about all the fire and fury with which he has chopped down his - recent op- ponents mercilessly but he still packed dynamite in his fists. He was no longer the Brown Bomber, the dusky destroyer, who dynamited Schmelling, Lewis and Galento. He had Pastor on the floor four times in the first round from right hand punches, and again in the second. Spark is Lacking On two other occasions, Bob was kadly hurt, yet each time he was knocked down, the spark was lack- ing and Joe was slow to take advan- tage of opportunities. Joe seemed unable to box with his gallant rival who came off the floor and defended ~himself beautifully, and even came back to carry the fight to the champion in later rounds. Pastor Was Tired Pastor tired and that cost him the fight. In less than half a minutes after the eléventh round got under way, Louis suddenly leaped in and fired | a short right. Pastor went down, rose to his| knees at the count of four but he| could not go farther. There he hud- | dled, his head hanging and blood | dripping from a cut over the left| Cincinnati eye. It was the only chance that| Louis had in the last rounds strut his cld time stuff and those at the ringside all declared that if Pastor had not tired, Louis would not have had that chance. Pastor Talks In his dressing room, Pastor said: | «1 did not see the punch coming. My eye was full of blood and I was New York . | Boston lyze me. I did not know anything Cleveland blinded. The punch seemed to para- until the referee counted nine, then | it was too late to rally.” Looks to Next Bout | With the bout over, Louis looked forward to a return match with St. Louis to | Chicago | Boston ) Philadelphia THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 1939.
