SMILING HAPPILY [photo] MRS. JOE LOUIS Smiling happily, Miss Marva Trotter is shown holding a picture of Joe Louis, the man she married Tuesday night, three hours before he stepped into the ring and knocked out Max Baer. The fighter's managers raved, swore, tore their hair and yelled in shrill voices that it simply couldn't be done, because it would excite Joe too much. but it was done. Marva did it. She was happy and Joe wasn't excited.

The results of the fight are known by our readers many hours before the Leader is off the press. Those who listen over the radio are getting it almost as quickly as we see it sitting here close-up to the ring, and the daily papers, even in the far South, will no doubt carry stories about the victory of the popular young Negro sensation, as comprehensive and unbiased as that which might appear in any of the race papers. We might not have made the 800 mile motor trip from Louisville to New York if we had known 5 days before the fight that the battle of the century would be broadcast. But we are here and we are glad that we are. There is much about this crowd, about this fight, about Harlem's reaction, and other things that make us glad that we are here, and which will be given to Leader readers in a special column in succeeding issues. While Joe Louis is getting married to Miss Marva Trotter of Chicago, the stadium is being thronged, and the mob of fight fans represents all classes and colors. They rolled into New York from all parts of the country, by special trains, air lines, buses and private conveyances that ranged from luxurious limousines to lowly bicycles. I am told that two colored girls from Virginia bicycled it in town, and that two Negro boys in riding pants and goggles roared up to the stadium ticket winows on a motorcycle bearing North Carolina plates, that the spokesman for the two said, "Mister, we want two of them $5.75 seats. We came all the way from North Carolina to see our boy Louis knock Baer for a loop," and that is just what they saw in the fourth round, and in a way which surprised even the writer.

I saw a whole ringful of black clouds and this little ray of sunshine just couldn't penetrate them. Louis is married and I hope he is happy as I am." Mrs. Baer, who was opposed to her husband's fighting, did not see the fight. She did not care to see Mr. Baer whipped.
