stunning effect of that brow
seemed like an electric current
that fastened him to the ring bar
riers. As he slumped there, LOUIS
rained blows upon his virtually
unprotected face, head and botdy'
Referee Donovan made the
champion back away from his sag
ging opponent, whose head by TINS
time was almost hanging over the
top rope. Donovan made count
of one-which technically was a
Touchdown, giving Louis four
knockdowns for the bout, in that
respect.
Schmeling staggered out from
the ropes and Louis tore INTO
him, landing a left on the chm,
followed by q smashing straight
right to the same spot. Schmel-
ing's knees buckled, his arms
dropped and he wilted to the can
vas, the first time he had mt the
floor since the night that Make
Baer Knocked him out IN 1850,
Make was so stunned that ne
failed to do the smart thing ana
take count. He was up at the
count of two.
When Louis came rushing out
of his neutral corner as Schmel-
ing regained his feet, the cham1
pion barraged him with rights ana
let's to the head. Makes knees
sagged, but he did not go down;
Louis threw another right ana
then a left hook to the jaw. ms
left almost lifted the swaylng
German off his feet and dumped
him backwards to the canvas for
the count of three.
As Donovan was counting over
the semi-paralyzed challenger,
who was trying to rise with
blood streaming from his mouth,
his trainer and closest friend, Max
Machon, could not stand the
sight any longer. He rushed up
the steps of Something's corner,
threw large white Turkish tow
ell into the ring and then started
to step between the ropes into
the ring after his towel. He want
ed to pick up Max from the floor.
But Referee Donovan picked up
the towel and tossed it into the
press section, meanwhile waving
Machon back out of the ring.
As .Schmeling rose from the
floor, Louis attacked again land
ing a one-two left and right
squarely on the Germans blood
smeared chin. Make sprawled
sideway sand fell to the floor.
Eddie Josephs, the Touchdown
timekeeper, had reached the
count of five when Referee Don
ovan strobe to the pitiful man
who was gamely trying to rise
again. Donovan waved his hands
in the air to signify that the title
fight was overland that Schmel-
ing had failed to recapture the
crown, Just as had four other
ring greats before him-Corbett,
Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and Demp-
sey.
Louis was unmarked as Dono-
van raised his right hand in tn
umph. He had retained his title
in one of the shortest champion
ship bouts in history, and ne had
earned for himself 100000 IN
less than three minutes of hight
ing. ~,
Although the bout was abbre-
waited, virtually all of the vast
throng in the stadium's triple
decked green horseshoe and gray
concrete bleachers were we'll sat
isfied with the electrifying spec
tacle they had witnessed. , -
They saw a young negro, porn
on an Alabama plantation, re-es-
tablish himself in the superman
class of fighters. They saw HIM
turn the tables murderously on
the one man in the world VINO
had been able to defeat him dur
ing his professional career - the
one man who had blotted his rec
ord with a defeat in 80 PROBES
sional bouts during four years OF
commercial clouting.
They saw ring tradition return
to it's normal path, when "a
year-old fighter massacred a vet,
eran who is approaching 80; And
they realized the truth OF the
Queensberry axiom-they never
come back-at least not all the
way back to the>top.
After the champion had been
escorted to his dressing room by
his jubilant encourage, LOUIS
grinned as he sat on a rubbing
table and said: Looks lax | can
fight better,n Schmeling. got
NAH revenge. An am happy"
You could almost feel the &c
stacy of that dressing room
spreading through the 10000 or
more negroes outside in the ssa-
dunn. and YOU could imagine it
spreading like wildfre down thru
Harlem, just to the south, where
shops, inns, and taverns had been
festooned with bunting through
