CHICAGO, Jnn. 17. (AP) J
louls. men of the hour In the fight
business cswhrs up tonight with
Ghsrley Retzlaff, latest of the heavjr-
wclghts to promise mm a oaiue.
The spectacular Detroit negro
hose explosive fists have blasted
open a new vein of huge "gates,"
and the 28-year-old South Dakota
farmer, will go to work In the Chi
cago Stadium for what Is scheduled
as a 18-round battle. The test, if It
mounta to that, will be the Brown
Bomber's llrst In 1038.
No ItcUlaff Money.
. Indications today were that 20.000
spectators will see the bout. All of
them will be hoping that tletalaff
adheres to his promise to throw
punches from the start. Most of
them will be expecting to ee Louis,
1 to 10 choice with virtually no
FetrJnff money around, accomplish
another of his crushing triumphs.
If the 20.000 attendance mate
rialised, the gate receipts will crowd
innnm nf which the . cold-eyed
negro will receive 40 per cent. He
also will get a almllar cut of the
radio and motion picture receipts.
Uetalaff la down for 1714 Per cent
of the gate. A crowd of 30,000 also
would be the biggest here since
1932 when Jack Dtmpsey. hero of
boxing's other big gold rush, and
King Levlnsky fought their four
round exhibition In tha atadlum.
Pot Holler for Joe.
To Louis, who haa not squandered
tnore than six rounds on any of his
last nine foes, the engagement la
Just an opportunity to add about
40,000 to the $384,000 he collected
sat yosr. He la confident that noth
ing like i rounds will be required
. rteuslaff the way of Le-
iiairv Primo Camera. Max Baer
and Paulino Uwudun, his moat re
cent victims.
For Retr.taff, It Is a chance to
provide an answer to the question
of what Loula would do under pres
sure. It haa been so long since any
one got tough with, the bomber
that it has become almost legend
that Louis has first scared, then
knocked all his opponents stiff.
Retr.laff Inslsta that he will not be
whipped before he start.
Testimony that the. strapping
heavy from the wheat belt haa the
equipment to damage anyone he
tan hit. Is found In hla record. Hla
destructive right hsnd has accounted
for BS knorkouta In 88 fighta.
Well Matched.
Physically, they are well matched,
louts wae expected to weigh at
noon today about 201 sounds, his
heaviest for an Important battle.
Petalaff, with advantages in height
nd reach, figured to be outweighed
py about five pounds at 108.
Louis would not predict how long
.he fight would last other than to
aay that he would get It over aa
quickly aa possible. Hla trainer. Jack
Blackburn, said It would end as
"socn aa we can hit him. Maybe the
first, maybe the second, maybe the
third. Not any longer than that."
The bomber wilt be aiming at his
t7th consecutive professional tri
umph, and his 3.1rd knockout.

"Suoh a long time program la de
veloping naturally out of the present
adjustment efforts," the atatement
said. "Aa 1 see It, this program has

thereby avoiding the danger of a

"The time may come when tht AAA

As the president spoke, adherents
of New Deal farm policies were be

But to get back to the Brown

that this Retzlarr will Ire Joseph
a better scrap than he's had for
some time. He has a pretty Im
pressive knockout record himself,
you know, and eren against set
ups you have t4 hara something
on the old dukes to knock out
orer ISO men, Wt hardly think
that Rctr.laff will win. but If ha
can tag that shirty Louis he might
dynamite his way Into the top
flight. Nobody has hit the De
troit flash hard enough to knock
tha steam orf a biscuit for a long
time. It will be Interesting to see
what happens If Retr.laff manages
to do so.
We let ourselves In for It by de
