CHICAGO, June 17. (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.
Olowlng reports on the physical con
dition of the champion, Idle for two
years since taking the title from
Max Baer also have tended to mini
mise gambling on the big brittle.
Promoter Joe Foley snld ratny
weather slowed the ticket snle yes
terday, but that about 6 00,000
already hid been taken In. Thus far,
16,000 of the 38,000 ringside seats
have been sold, comparable to 14,000
lor the Louis-Max Bner fight at a
corresponding pre-flftht date.
Police made plana for handling
the anticipated sell-out crowd of
0,000 More than 1 ,300 policemen
will be on duty.
The reservation today of a large
suite of rooms in a loop hotel by
Brsddock's manager, Joe Gould, In
dicate the possibility that the title
holder may come to Chicago Sunday
night shortly after his final boxing
drill. 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. If he refuses to con
tinue his opponent will be named
ih w.nner hv a terbnlcnl knockout
