	Louis dropped Ramage for the first time in the 2nd round, with a right to the body, followed by a right to the chin. Ramage went down for a nine-count from these blows. After Ramage rose, Louis landed two good rights to the body before Ramage clinched. After the two broke from the clinch, Louis landed a short right hand to Ramage's jaw, which floored him for a second time. Ramage had not even stirred from the canvas, when his corner tossed the towel in.

			Los Angles, Feb. 22. (AP) — The towering shadow of "Shufflin' Joe" Louis, young, sober-faced Detroit negro, who brought sudden unconsciousness to Lee Ramage of San Diego, blotted other fighters out of the Los Angeles ring picture today.

			He flattened the seasoned California boxer in two minutes and 11 seconds of fighting in the second round of a main event on the outdoor show card at Wrigley Field last night.

			[[Art Lasky]] and [[Charley Retzlaff]] climbed through the ropes just before the main event and challenged the winner.

			As Lieut. Commander Jess Kenworthy, U.S.S., was tolling the seconds over Ramage's prostate form, a towel sailed in from the Californian's corner. That made it a technical knockout, but it was technical only in a technical sense. Ramage was carried to his chair.

			It was so smooth and so simple the way Louis did it. His right hand whizzed out of nowhere, caught Lee flush on the chin and dropped him for nine. The San Diegan came up, his glazing eyes riveted on that right. Louis lashed out with his left to end the fight.

			It was Louis' second knockout victory over Ramage. Some months ago, in Chicago, they tolled ten over Lee before the eighth round ended.

			A crowd of slightly more than 8,000 persons crowded into the ballpark, paying $16,148. [https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19350222&id=8CdXAAAAIBAJ&sjid=n0MNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3582,4712519&hl=en]
