Spotting his statuesque opponent
AZ pounds wasn't bad, but the in
flnitesimal weight of a couple of bal
lots at the end of the 10-round
brawl did plenty of damage to 1874
pound Lou Brooks last night at
Turner's Arena. The hirsute hus-
tier from Wilmington dropped the
nod to 226-pound AL Hart, although
the press bench and a lot of fans
thought Brooks had won.
Referee Charley Reynolds and
Judge o. U. Singer swung the elec-
ton for Hart, a broad-beamed SOL
dier with more muscle than a squad
of weightlifters. Judge Jimmy Sui
livan offered mild dissenting opin-
ion. calling it draw:
1t was tough fight to call. On
points. Brooks was so far in front
Hart couldn't have caught him with
q slide rule, but in actual damage
Lou had the worse. He emerged
from the fray with a cut eye, bloody
nose and a second-degree case of
fatigue. Hart was unmarked, al
though stung several times by whis-
Ting hooks to the midsection.
Hart Much Improved Fighter.
Though still no serious threat to
Joe Louis, Hart was a much i'm
proved fighter over his last appear
ance here. He opened up with
booming broadside Of one-two's that
threatened to dump Brooks in the
first round and every time his thick
fists slapped into Louis ribs the
Wilmington warriors frame shud-
dered.
Brooks, however, avoided trouble
until the seventh round, when Hart,
no prize winner at strategy or
finesse, finally caught him with a
couple Of good clouts on the noggin
that almost spilled Lou for count.
The loser, meanwhile, forced the
fight from the beginning. stalking
Hart with puzzling weave while
trying to find parking place for
hooks to the midsection. He braided
a couple of ribs with his base
drummer tactics but generally over
shot the target with vicious, but wild
swings. Hart's titanic weight ad-
vantage was invaluable In the
clinches where he handled Brooks
as easily as a baby. but still didn't
utilize his huge bulk to the fullest
and Lou got away with less punish
ment than expected.
