NEW YORK, July 4. (UP)-Lou
Nova is raising his fine California
voice land no one can shout quite
so loud as a Californian when IN
full cry against the injustice OF
the next crack at the heavyweight
championship going to Bob Pastor.
Nova is firmly convinced that he.
and he alone, is entitled to the
next title bout with Joe Louis. He
points out, and quite logically, that
not only did he fight draw with
Pastor but that he went on from
there to defeat Tommy Farr and
Max Baer. There is no denying that
Nova is the logical contender. Not
only has Pastor already had his
chance against Louis-a bout that
saw him run like thief for the
10 rounds with the sole aim of maxi
ing Joe look bad-but he has done
little since. True. he did beat an
article named Toles in Detroit, but
later was trimmed in Pennsylvania

members of his family are not quite
sure of his real name and call him

Nova won't get the next fight
however, he is on the way to be-
come victim of that prizefight ex-
ercise known as the run around
Every fighter is a victim of it at
one time or another. Schmeling was
a classic example of the run around
After his knockout of Louis in the
first fight he was the only sensible
choice to meet Braddock for the
heavyweight title. He would have
beaten Braddock, too, and become
