LOUIS SLIPPING,
 CRITICS CHANT,
 ''TOLD YOU so"
Broadway Boxing Belt Looks to Nova for
 Clincher
By PAUL SCHEFFEDs United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

ny 4 AAO6 0OAAASA & AAA< " s United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York (UP)-For various req sons, most of them more numerous than truthful Joe Louis is cur rently taking a vacation before de- lending his heavyweight title against Lou Nova of California in September match but to the in habitants of Broadway's boxing belt, the Detroiter has been marked as through"
 When the announcement of Louis two-month rest reached the confines of Jacob Beach, that stretch of street just of Times Square hal- lowed as the gathering place of 1is- tiania,S own Cafe Society, the boys began to peddle Louis obituary.
 The impression that Joe was on the tobagan had been forming for some time but 1t gained its current momentum via Louis own recent admission that he had slipped" The seed was sown when Buddy Baer knocked the champion out of a Washington ring and began to flower in earnest when Billy Conn almast peeled the title from Louis shoulders in the Polo Grounds last month.
 New Fuel for Controversy
 Conn's performance against Joe, or Louis showing against Billy, has only added fuel to an already red- hot controversy. That was Joeis big gest chance to show up the experts who had been writing "finis" to his ring career.
 Conn himself furnished the in- centive. Billy, courageous young ster with his tongue as well as his fists, gave Joe pretty thorough oral going-over before the fight and reportedly put the champion in a killing rage
 Louis even put on a good show. too. He trained arduously. Belted his Sparring partners from pillar to post and even refused to stop box ing when his handlers thought he was overdoing 1t and might become too fine. He seemed anxious to look good against Conn and the belief grew that once again he had be- come the murderous fighting ma china of the second Schmeling bout.
 But 1t took Joe 12 long rounds to work himself to point where he could finish of the former light heavyweight champion. He retained his title, all right, but it was titlel that even Louis himself, in @ dress-l ing-room admission following the fight, said he saw slipping from his grasp.
 At the Polo Grounds that night 1t was clear that Louis was not the fighter he once was.
 Louis Admitted Weariness
 Remember, too, that usually on the day following fights when the boxing mob gathered around Jacobs Beach to 90 over the blow-by- blow and figure out the angles" Louis was always on hand. Even after his knockout by Schmeling, Joe was around. And the beating he received at the hands of the Teuton heavy weight was an artistic job.
 But after the Conn match, Joe sent out word that he was "too tired" to make the rounds and would not fight again until Sep- tember. He followed this up some days later vdth the admission that he was slipping"
 Broadway buzzed like a dynamo with reports that the electric charge that propelled the Dark Destroyer through go many bouts had at last last its potency. Tn fact, it's still buzzing.

The 1941 edition can't hit a lick and the defense cracks up now and then.
 The 1940 version won 45 games by one run to set an all-time rnajor league record. The 194l printing frequently can't even make it close.
 Had. McKechnie not obtained pitching help from rather unex- pected source, Elmer Ray Riddle, the proud Reds of the past two campaigns would now be in the neighborhood of seventh place :. !. keeping company with their poor re- lations, the Braves.
 Bill McKechnie put the Reds up there in a hurry, but what goes up must come down.
