Coffee Skinned Joe Louis at Comis-
key Park the night Of June 22-his
first title fight since he became

Easy Way Out and

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 17-(UP)
Joe Louis had another knockout
in the record books today, but there
was no particular glory attached to
1t.
Matte Brown, the latest victim,
seemed only too willing to take the
easy way out when Louis turned
on the steam.
Brown, q washington, d. c.,

distinction because he lasted 10
rounds with the Detroit Negro
when Louis was just out Of the no.
vice class, went down In the fourth
round. The time was AZ seconds.
M0ped Around
The first three rounds were dull.
Brown, after sparring his way
through the first round, led a few
timid lefts in the second, and as he
got nothing serious in return, tried
hammering Louis about the body in
the third. Louis still did nothing
much about 1t. But with the start
Of the fourth 1t was different.
Coming out with the bell Browns
manner changed. He looked fright
ened and before Louis had cooked
his right or shot left he was
cringing. Louis sizzled a left to the
head and Brown ran for the ropes.
A short left and right to the head
ended 1t with Brown sagging grace
fully to the floor. He stayed there
until Referee Walter Bates tolled
ten, whereupon he grabbed Bates
and hauled him to the floor with
him.
The fight crossed $24,689, Of
which $8,826 went to Louis and 3d.
$40 to Brown. Louis weighed 206
pounds, six and a half more than

Plenty of action was witnessed
last Friday night when the Efers
and the Zaras, arch enemies Of the
league engaged in q crucial battle
for second place and resulting with
the Efers winning two games out
of three and putting them within
one game Of second place and
three games out Of first place.
It was very interesting to see the
wonderful support the, Efers were
getting from the spectators, and
what Is more interesting is the fact
that In the first round the Efers
were only able to win but two games
out Of is, and now they're fight
ing for top honors, and may the
power and courage Of their example
provide those hopeless Rubens who
have won but, IA out Of 81 games
with some inspiration so that they
can at least finish In the league.
Those Zammas seem to have 1t In,
for the faE slipping Asirs by wal
Looping them for two neat games,
enabling the Zammas to hold their
scant margin Of two games for first
place.
