over a punch Nova never saw,
but that's about all. Lou really
took it in the fourth and came
back-until Louis found the
opening he was trying for. Joes
first wallop of the fight was con-
vincing enough. 1t brushed across
Nova's forehead and left a pink
trail. Louis said he found the way
to that one-punch ending in the
fifth round. He missed that time,
but as soon as Nova came out
working his hands back and forth
carelessly Joe knew he had him.

only a worse beating than he got.
A full two minutes after the bout
ended Nova got to his feet and made
his way out TO the center OF the ring
and his knees still were wobbling
and his face still was blank.
Champion Not Hurt.
AS it was, the worst the chal-
lenger had to show for the fight was
a slight cut on the bridge of his
nose and a shattered dream. He
really thought he could whip Louis
and he gave it good. grave try.
He learned differently, and took it
very well.

fighter in the world" he said, care

and goes into the Army, then I

that had been more or less obvious
Up to the big punch and the

did nothing of the kind.

Nova a good one, staggered hin

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-If Joe
Louis has fought his last fight, then
the world can say good-by to a
fighting man the likes of which it
may never see again.
The right that Joe laid on Lou
Nova's Jaw In the sixth round last
night at the Polo Grounds, knock
ing the big Californian fiat and
preparing him for the technical
knockout that came moment later,
was the sort of picture punch that
fight fan might wait lifetime to see.
The big Negro, now awaiting his
call into the Army, may never again
deliver a single blow with the pre-
cision and power of the one that
paralyzed Nova's senses and shocked
a great crowd of almost 10000 that
had been slowly warming up to what
1t thought was a fairly even contest.
A year of absence from the heat
of championship fighting might rob
Louis of the perfect sense of timing
and the deadly kick that went into
that one climatic blow. If that hap
pens, then it will be something to
remember.
Picture Punch Ruins Nova.
Nova was close to the ropes, near
his own corner, boxing confidently
and well, waiting for Joe to give
him an opening. Louis, his face
impasSive as ever, was shuffling
about and getting nowhere, appar-
