NEW YORK, June "A new chal-

Joe Louis crown emerged from the
Nova-Baer brawl today, but it wasn't
Young Lou Nova, the California
collegian, who stopped Merry Make
in the 18th round of a scheduled
l5-round bout last night at Yankee
Stadium.
Touted as Louis opponent after the
champ disposes of Globular Tony
Galento, come June %, is Bob Pas

back-pedalled 10 rounds with the
title-holder three years ago.
Nova whipped Baer, make no mis-
take about it, and did it the hard
way. electing to slug it out with the
ever-dangerous playboy despite re-
peated warnings from older, more
level-headed men in his corner.
But, paradoxically, Lou looked so
bad in victory-decisive as it was
that few observers believe Promoter
Mike Jacobs will continue with plans
for matching him with Louis in Sep
tember.
The 20-odd thousand who wit
messed last nights bout came away
decidedly unimpressed by Nova's
work, and generally disgusted with
the current crop of so-called heavy
weight contenders.

ion is that only those interested in
watching Louis club two more oppo-
nents insensible will plunk down
their hard-earned dough for
glimpses of either Galento or Nova
in action against him.
Pastor, who lost to Gus Lorazio
and then whipped Maury Strick-
Ter and Roscoe Toles in his last
three fights, is conceded an excel
lent chance of edging into the title
match with Louis. although he
isn't given chance of winning
The only reason for putting in
such a match is Louis anxiety to
get another shot at the boy who
made him look foolish. plus the fact
that Pastor has a fairly good fol-
lowing among his fellow New York
ers.
If sufficient interest in such an
argument can be whipped up by
Uncle Michael's propaganda crew,
he'll not hesitate to change horses

with both hands as Max spewed
crimson all over the ring. Fullam
wanted to stop it earlier in the
eleventh, but Make refused the re-
prieve and took a dozen more blows
before he consented to retire.
The fight really was decided in
the second, when Baer suddenly
lashed out with his famous old right
and caught Nova cold with a half
dozen in fast succession.
Nova Weathers Rights.
That was when Baers followers
had expected the bout to end. But
Nova proved strong and resolute
and didn't go down. He wobbled
and staggered a bit from the fusil-
lade, but he stuck to his feet and
came back fighting
In Baer's other good round. the
sixth, he again rocked the youngster
with series of rights, once almost
spilling him. Yet again the kid
shook them off and at the end was
jabbing away at Makes jumbled
features with his long left. The
roundhouse punch that Baer laid
on Nova's whiskers, after the bell
ended the seventh, hurt Lou and
sent him staggering to his corner.
but he came up fresh as daisy to
belabor Max in the eighth.
In the long run, it was Nova's
straight left. delivered with all his
202 pounds behind it. that ruined
Baer's comeback. The veteran
didn't know how to escape the stab
bing leather and gradually as the
rounds went on it cut him to pieces.
Now and then Nova went into ac-
ton with both hands, standing and
slugging, but he owed his victory
to his left.
The occasional right that he
crossed seemed to shake Baer, but
never threatened to put him down.
After last night It's clear Nova is no
knod Sout artist, though the pun
ishment he handed out might have
forced Baer to quit in the last few
rounds even had Max's lip not been
cut.
Promoter Mike Jacobs was mad
as a wet hen about the skimpy
crowd that turned out and still was
threatening to send the Louis

fornia stands qualified today to fight
either Joe Louis or Tony Galento
for the heavyweight championship
in September or early next summer.
The 24-year -old ex-collegian fight
ing only his 9th professional bout,
cut the ex-champion down steadily
and methodically until Referee
Frank Fullam stopped it in 1:21 of
the 11th when Baer was choked and
unable to continue from the blood
that poured from a badly lacerated
lip.
Almost 1900 fans banked in the
great arena saw the younger man
survive a bushel of Baer's thunder

come back to give him cruel beat
ing. Baer bled like stuck hog from
the third round on, and when it was
over his face was a travesty.
Injured Hand Slows Nova.
Nova, his left ear blooming like an
eggplant from Baer's despairing
rights, said in the dressing room he
would have stopped his rival clean
as a whistle if he had not hurt his
right maulie in the third round.
Make, looking and feeling terrible,
said he didn't know whether he ever
would fight again. At the same time
he mumbled warning to Nova:
Hes good, strong boy, but he's
long way off, He gets hit too
much"
His listeners nodded agreement
most Of them feeling in their bones
that Lou, though he made a game
damaging fight against Baer, is not
quite ready to get in the ring and

Prints were never smarter, small
prints, and the polka dot in parti-
cular, being most poular for day
time wear, while for the evening
the larger prints in riotouS colorS
are the vogue.
This season the Easter bonnet
is no longer just a line in a song
but is a reality for bonnets, flower
laden are smart. Men can no long
er laugh at Women'S hats, for
needing the order for prettiness,
they are just that, charming flat
tering StraWs, SuedeS, felts, with
gardens of flowers and flatterlng
wells in soft colors as their trim
mings. Feathers are also smart
and women may select the head
gear to suit their types and frocks,
from the sailor to the feminine
bonnet, Or the favorite pill box or
turban. These hats are to be found
in a riot of delicious colors to
match or contrast with frock or
suit.
Freshness, Charm
Shoes repeat the demand for
color and the toeless, heeless type
maintains its popularity, with nov
city lying in the materials, colors
and combinations used.
Accessories, bags, and gloves, are
to be found in every new color
and are often used for that note
of contrast SO necessary for smart
ness this season. Not one, but two
or three colors, cleverly combined,
make an outfit chic but care must
be taken to see that the color har-

In short, spring modes are the
essence of springtime, with their
youth, their freshness and their

Puris Orders Return to
Feminity For Spring Wear:
EI centro Stores Respond
BY ANNE Dhyr

Paris has ordered return to
femininity this season, a subtle
change in silhouette having been
noticeable at the spring openings:
women this spring will aim for
that dainty, feminine, little-girl
appearance instead of that of suave
sophistication.
Hardly was the news sent over
the tranatlantic cables by repre-
sentatives of American firms at
tending the openings, than the new
fashions were shown in the var
ious markets and only a few days
later these same modes were dis
played in FL Centro stores, a trib-
ute to modern communication and
manufacturing as well as TO mer-
chandising.
Youth Emphasized
Youth is emphasized in the new
styles, a departure for the Paris
designers who have always admired
the mature sophisticated beauty
rather than the fresh, pretty young
girl.
But prettiness rather than beau
ty, youth rather than sophistica-
ton is the goal and it can be met
by the Ell Centro stores which
already are stocked with those
headlines in the fashion news, the
"little-gi dresses, SO named be-
cause they have a decided resem-
blance to the standard school frock.
Full skirted, with sometimes petit
coats of taffeta or lingerie peep
ing from under the hens, for pet
ticoats are back again, these smart
frocks have tight fitting waists,
small round collars, usually IN
white or pastels, or sometimes lii
lace or eyelet embroidery, or with
soft, feminine frills.
Lingerie is news: fine batiste
blouses, collars and cuffs edged
with lace, pique, eyelet blouses and
dresses, lace collars, are in vogue
once more and nothing is smarter
than crisp touch of white about
the throat or very pale pastels.
Valley stores have charming lin
gerle accessories ana many 1rOcKS
trimmed with a bit of white pique,
lace, SO that shoppers have wide
assortment from which to choose.
Suits repeat this youthful air,
many having full skirts pleated or
gathered, and tight jackets or bo-
leros, but for the woman who wants
the longer jacket or boXy coat to
suit her figure requirements, for
it takes slim girlish figure to
wear the new models, the design
ers have styled suits and coats
for her needs. A few of the great
Paris dressmakers are still faith
full to the long straight lines which
is good news for the women who
prefer sophistication to prettiness.
AS for coats, any one may be fit
ted, for they range from boleros
to full length, from the tight fit
tnig models caught in at the waist
with flaring skirts, to those hang
ing straight and full from the
shoulders, and a wide assortment,
featuring everything from the

Break Forecast in
Mystery Case

OKLAHOMA CITY, Mar %, tUP)
Authorities became increasingly
uncommunicative today in their in
vestigation of the mysterious dis
appearance of Mrs. Eudora Gun
ningham, 80, attractive socialite, and
an early break in the case was fore
cast.
County Prosecutor E. w. Brown
broadcast an appeal to all persons
within a 200 mile radius of the city
asking that they search their neigh
borhoods for fresh dug" earth. He
was convinced Mrs. Cunningham,
missing since March 6, had been
murdered and her body either bur
led, thrown into a creek or hidden
in some isolated woods.
