(AP) Th - 'Trine and Pauper" world'a title bfcttl Mt for next Tuesday night has tha betting boy jittery. The "prince" won't be heavyweight eh am pi on Jamea J. Braddock. He'll step Into the ring against Joe Louis, en ot the financially poorest boxing klnps In J story. From a financial standpoint, the Brown Bomber hes better claim to that title. Braddock never has been In ns "big money," even since beating Max Baer for the title, a chore for which he received tout 31,344. Since then he has bad to borrow money, so TueAdsy night will ba his big elm nee. To date, there has been little or Bo wagering. One Randolph street oomm its toner la holding $10,000 he'll put against 95,000 that Louis wins and no sign yet of a taker. There tr Braddock betters asking as much as 4 and 1 to 1 odds, but the Im pression prevails that the night of the bout Louis will stand about I to S. Alternately good and bad form by Louis at his Kenosha, Wis., camp has the "wise money" waiting for a sucden downward shift In tne Louis odds the day of the battle.

Louis plans on breaking oamp are uncertain, but both principals will weigh In Tuesday noon and both have been ordered to report at the park by 8 o'clock Tuesday night. The fight will not be won on a foul. The Illinois atate athletic com mission decided yesterday that If either boxer Is fouled he will be given a rest.
