(Conn ~and ~Nova, 1941).

TWO MILLION DOLLAR BEAUTY

The Lou Nova contest here tonight sent Louis~. net earnings, since
first turning pro back in 1934, to a
sum far-in excess of a cold $2;
-000, in addition, the champion has
earned..more than aquarter. of a

BEST HANDLED FIGHTER

Once again tonight, it was established that when boxing

down not only as -probably ~the
greatest champion ever to wear the
~royal purple. but..also as one.of the

What is more, Louis will gy down
in the arehives-of pugilism as the
cleanest and most
fighter who: ever lived.
