NOVA WINS BATTLE
WITH KID ILLNESS.
Blond Californian Scores Vic
tory In Fight With
Blood Infection

SAN FRANCISCO, March Ii
R-Lou Nova, who became the for
gotten man of boxing in a scant six
months, has won his latest and
toughest fight-with Kid Illness.
Before he hooked UP with rolypoly
Tony Galento last September, the
blond Californian ranked as the No.
l contender for the heavyweight
title.
Stopped by Galento in the 14th
round, Nova bowed out of the ma
tional fistic setup abruptly. Some
thing like dousing a lighted candle
with a bucket of water.
He was sick and knew it. Some
thought he was washed up" at "a
years of age. A sojourn in the
desert country of the southwest
brought no relief. His ailment fl
nally was diagnosed as a serious in
lection of the blood stream.
1t was traced back to a boil on
his arm which became infected
three and one-half years ago. First
tests, since he began treatments late
last fall, disclosed a pollution of So
per cent. It vas reduced to 40,
then 80 per cent, and finally, on
the latest test, last month, to 10
per cent. An infection of - per
cent is considered normal.
In the first months of the illness,
Nova's weight dropped from above
200 pounds to $50 pounds. At this
time he balances the scale at 1913
pounds. The disease was conquered
by giving him typhoid shots. They
created fever which consumed the
germs in his blood.
He plans to return to the ring
next June. His manager, Ray Car
len, has tentatively lined up three
fights, m each in Oakland, San
Francisco and Los Angeles.

MARSHALL, FLASH
CRAPPLE TONIGHT
Johnny Marrs To Go Against
Chief Little Beaver In
Semi-Final Bout

Things will be all a-twitter at the
exhibit hall at the Legion field to-
night at s o'clock when the Purple
Flash, masked marvel of the grunt
and groan ring, will put on a song
and dance for Wilmington's wrest-
ling fans.
The masked man who has whip
ped some of the best wrestlers in
the state will meet Floyd Marshall,
of Arizona, in the headline bout of
the night.
The identity of the Purple Flash
is unknown, although this much is
known-he is a former All-American
football player who decided he would
rather grapple on the mat than on
the pro gridiron.
In appearances in several other
cities of the state and south, the
Flash has been the type of wrestler
who showed little regard for rules
and referees. Marshall, on the other
hand, is a clean, clever grappler of
the old school and even though the
Purple Flash has a more awe-inspir.
ing record, the Arizona mailman is
expected to be a very good match for
the bounding bruiser.
The semi-final bout on the card
arranged by the American Legion
will pit Johnny Mars against Chief
Little Beaver, of Cherokee, N. c..
one of the toughest wrestlers ever
to appear here.
The opening match will get under
way in the exhibit building at the
stadium at 8 o'clock.
