Godfrey and
Risko Billed
for Tonight
Ten-Round Heavyweight
Scrap at EbbetS Field,
Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Twice
postponed, the ten-round fight be-
tween Johnny Risko of Cleveland
and George Godfrey of New Orleans
will take place at Ebbets Field to.
night, weather permitting. Rain
last week caused the postpone
ments.
Godfrey. the giant Negro, will
have some forty pounds advantage
over the baker boy from Cleveland,
but this was described as both an
advantage and a disadvantage. 1t
might aid the Negro in forcing
Risko to some extent, and on the
other hand it might enable the
latter to keep away from any
dangerous positions.
Godfrey is considered the last Of
the "black menaces" to the heavy
weight crown, and some experts are
inclined to believe this menace will
be swept away as was Harry Wills.
Wills was decisively beaten by Jack
Sharkey, the Boston sailor in the
ring where tonight's bout is
scheduled.
Both fighters we're in New York
today, having given up training
camps. Both we're reported in
