THE READING. TIMES, EADING, PA THURSDAY MORNING, EB RU A RY 2 4', V9 3 8 JOE LOUIS COOLS OFF MANN IN THIRD CHAPTER Sixteen CHAMPION FLOORS FOE THREE TIMES BEFORE KNOCKOUT Battered Italian Makek Game Ffcht; Gate Net $95,314.35 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York. Feb. 23 Joe Louis, looking like the old Brown Bomber himself, dropped out of the fistic clouds tonight with a detonation that rocked the rafters of the old battle pit and flattened burly Na than Mann, New Haven (Conn.) challenger for the world heavyweight championship, in less than eight minutes. Back to the pugilistic wars after a layoff of six months, Louis rallied from a shaky start to cut Mann down and knock him out in the third round of a 15 round match before a near capacity Garden crowd.

The end came in 1.46 of the third after Mann had taken a count of nine In the second round, been saved by the bell, and then battered to the floor three times in the abbre viated final chapter. Doesn't Hear Count Mann, looking like he had been put through a meat chopper, took the final count in one corner of the ring, resting on one knee but other wise so punch drunk that he didn't even appear to hear Referee Arthur Donovan's final "10." The champion put an abrupt and convincing end to the match, with a high explosive brand of punching power, arter being surprised and actually hurt by his challenger's brisk early bid. A hard right to the chin that shook Louis, in the second round, and sent him back to the ropes, blinking and bewildered, appeared to touch off the fireworks. It was one of several robust blows with which Mann connected during the first round and a half, while Louis looked the situation over. It aroused the champion to such an extent that his counter blast quickly had the ambitious Connecticut entry on the floor.

Left jabs and hooks by Louis softened Mann for the flinishing touches, but he toppled for the first time from a hard right cross. He had sufficient possession of his faculties to realize it was a good time to take but he ran into another blast of leather upon regaining his feet. Louis knocked Nathan to the ropes and buckled him with lefts to the body, ripe for the "kill" when the second round bell sounded. Mann Fights Gamely Mann, bleeding from the mouth and nose, fought back courageously the third, but the end was in sight. The challenger, by now so dazed he didn't know much about what was going on, took counts of only two and three seconds as the champion's two fisted barrage flattened him.

He weathered another half minute of punishment before going down for the Inst time, from the impact of a terrific right hand to the jaw. Mingled booes and cheers greeted the finish to a title bout that to all intents and purposes was strictly a "tune up" for the forthcoming 'million dollar return match between Champion Louis and his conqueror. Max Schmeling, of Germany, in June. A crowd of 19,490 spectators contributed to gross gate receipts of $111,693.49 to see New. York's first indoor bout for the world heavy: weight crown since Jack Dempsey flattened Bill Brennan in the old Garden in 1920.

Collects 40 Percent The net "gate" amounted to $95, 314.35, with Louis collecting 40 per cent and Mann 1214 percent. Louis, scaling an even 200 pounds to his rival's 193 V. looked impressive to ringsiders, in his second defense of the title he won last June from Jim Braddock. His timing and all around display of punching power not only was reminiscent of the davs when he was a meteoric title contender but contrasted with his 15 round performance against British Tommy Farr, last August. If the ob ject was to put the "Old Joe Louis" back on exhibit, It was an artistic success.

Mann, knocked out for the first time in his career, gave several thou sand partisans from his home state a chance to cheer in the first round and a half. Nathan won the first round, on points, and hurt Louis with left hooks as well as several well timed rights to the head. The challenger continued his aggressive tactics early in the second round, fighting from a half crouch that bothered Louis, but his attempt to "shoot the works" quickly came to Brief. Once Louis discarded caution and went to work with both hands, the fight became a rout. Mann's show of courage under fire stirred the onlookers but otherwise did not more than prolong the inevitable a few seconds.

He was the thirty first knockout victim in 38 professional fights for Louis.

Times Staff Photo. MANN'S CRASHING WALLOPS DIDN'T HURT, CHIRPS JOE Third Round a Blank to Loser After Early Knockdown NEW YORK. Feb. 20 "I Just went out there and started bopping him," drawled Joe Louis after his smashing three round knockout of Nathan Mann, tonight. The champion, who hardly got up a good sweat in the brief workout, took his second successful defense of his heavyweight title entirely In stride.

He was so fresh he didn't lie down on returning to his dress ing room. "He. hit me. some good punches in the first and second rounds, but they didn't hurt," he said. "I don't think he hlta as hard as some of the other fellows I've whipped." Blow Hurt Some "Didn't that right in the second round hurt some?" a reporter asked.

"No, I felt It, but it didn't hurt none." "It annoyed you a little though, man't it? "Well, I reckon it did sort of, wake me up. That's when I really started to work. Looks like I was a little slow warming up, don't it?" Lauis, who feels he has struck his old time stride wants to de lend his crown again in April If Mike Jacobs can dig up an opponent. Also, ne is willing to go to the post in May, berore his June fight with Max Schmeling. Mann in Fog Mann said he didn't remember a thing after Louis caught him with a savage left late In the second round until he heard Referee Arthur Donovan call after the knockout punch.

The entire third round was a blank to him, he said. I didn't see the blow that knocked me out. I don't remember being knocked down In the second round That Louis sure can punch. It's been so long since I was on the floor I Just forgot what to do. "I was in there gambling to win and put all I had into it while It lasted.

Louis hurt me plenty, but I'll bet some of those righU I shot into him in the first and second rounds hurt him, too. IU' too bad I had to let all those swell Connecticut folks down." i W0MELSD0RF WINNER WOMELSDORFFeb. 23 Wom elsdorf High nosed out the Myers town Keystone quintet, 25 24.
