LITTLE EXCITEMENT OVER HEAVYWEIGHT BATTLE
MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1937
NO ARGUMENTS
; OVER REFEREE;
CLAM PREVAILS
Chicago, June 21 MV-The world's
heavyweight championship fight
between James J. Braddock and
Bomber Joe Louis, set for Comlskey
Park, home of the Chicago White
Sox, tomorrow night, moved toward
Its climax with amazing calm today.
There were no arguments about
the selection of a referee, no last
minute legal ' attempts to halt the
contest, no ticket scandal and very
; little if any wagering on the out
j come.
I Yet the bout, scheduled for 15
' rounds or less, will be assured of
financial success, with Indications
pointing to an attendance of 60,000
and gate receipts of from $700,000 to
$750,000. Out of this will go perhaps
$300,000 to Braddock, who only a
few years ago was on federal relief,
and possibly $100,000 to Louis, who
only four years ago was a $5-a-day
automobile factory worker.
Various estimates placed the cash
In the strong box of Mike Jacobs,
co-promoter with Joe Foley, at be
tween $550,000 and $650,000. Jacobs
said 60 per cent of the total sales to
date have been to out-of-town cus
tomers and prospects of a last min
ute rush seemed fair.
All the ballyhoo about Louis be
ing sluggish in his drills and the
champion being too old to retain his
title against the dynamite-laden
fists of the 22-year-old negro have
failed to stimulate betting. The bout
Is liable to go down as one of the
lightest wagering affairs in ring
history, for fear of Louis' davastat
lng punching power.
Louis probably will enter the ring
a favorite at odds tha tmay be 3 to
1, one of the few times a challenger
ever has become a favorite over the
heavyweight champion, and the
only time a challenger went into
the ring in a heavyweight bout at
such long odds.
JAPANESE TO

In spring practice games, the
shadow of Bob Feller blotted out
other pitchers of the Cleveland
staff. But, once the curtain was up
the season and a lame arm
shunted the sensational youngster
to the sidelines, the other hurlers
took charge.
Manager Steve O'Neill had
expected little help from the
veteran Willis Hudlin. Hudlin
won only a single game In 1936
while being charged with five
lottt.es. He was starting his 11th
campaign In a Cleveland uni
form. He did not promise much.
The same Mr. Hudlin has been
pacing American league hurlers
with half a dozen straight wins.
Apparently he is headed for his
best season since ringing up 18
victories in 1927.
Why the sudden reversal of form?
There are several explanations. The
most plausible is the return to form
of Catcher Frankie Pytlak.
Last year, after having been on
the sidelines because of illness dur
ing the greater part of the 1935
pennant race, Pytlak suffered a
fractured Jaw and was forced out
again after playing in one-third
of the scheduled games.
This season finds Pytlak fit.
Frankie is a fine mechanical
catcher, and a smart one.
Ills handling of pitchers often
has meant the difference be
tween victory and defeat. He
knows Hudlin and handles him
to get every possible advantage.
Pytlak's timely hitting has placed
many games on the winning side
of the ledger. He is hitting well
over .300 and driving in his share
of runs. As long as Frankie is able
to carry on the Indians are likely
to prove tough.
RAIN CAUSES HALT

Woodburn No ball games were
