Half an hour later, Referee Eddie Forbes raised Lewis's shaggy right hand, pronounced him still champion. Referee Forbes's announcement was inaudible in the loudest, most prolonged booing (20 minutes) that has ever occurred in Madison Square Garden. The bout had not ended in a fall. Instead, after stumbling about the ring with their heads locked like two foolishly embattled elks, Lewis and Steele separated, glared, grunted.

By government order Der Angriff, Nazi organ, was suppressed for "inciting to disobedience and resistance against the State." Editor of Der Angriff is Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, a gnomelike little man with a tart tongue and a club foot, who appeared from nowhere about two years ago, rapidly rose to be Fascist deputy, editor of the party organ and one of the right-hand men of Adolf Hitler.
