MAKING WEIGHT
WILL BE HARD
FOR CHAMPION
Loughrar Must Reduce
Ten Pounds To Come In
AT Limit.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July Is. UP} A
few pounds Of flesh seem likely Il
determine the winner of Thursday
nights Is round bout at Yankee
Stadium between Tommy Loughran,
hght-heavvweight champion, and
James }. Braddoek.
Completing his training at Hoo
sick Falls, \. Y, today Loughran
faced the prospect of drying ont
tomorrow in order to get inside tho
divisional weight limit of 17j
pounds by p. m. the day of the
fight.
its going to be hard but II
do it, Loughran told the United
Press. II don't think it will hurt
me much and III gain all my
strength back before l enter the
ring.
Around fistic circles today
Loughran difficulty in gettin,,
inside the weight limit was taken
as an indication that a new chaw-
pion might be crowned Thursdsy
night,
Loughran weighed 1854 when h.
fought Ernie Schaaf in Boston OIL
May n and the champion admits
that he was in perfect condition
that night. So Loughran will have
to take off more than 10 pounds by
> p. m. Thursday to make the
weight.
Over the Is round route Lough-
ran must have speed, stamina and
strength to stave off a young
strong, hard-hitting opponent who
believes he can win by knockout.
Remarkable recoveries have sav-
ed Loughran from being knocked
out before, but when he got off tha
canvas twice in the first round and
saved his title against Leo Lomshi
Tommy had no trouble making the
weight.
Braddoek can hit harder than
Lomski and is stronger. If BraddocG
ever finds himself in the same
situation Lomski was in on the
night of January 8, 1928, a crown
is almost certain to change hands.
Petting odds have taken a sud
den drop within the past few days
coming down from 212 to on Lough
ran to virtually even money.
Braddock may enter the ring the
favorite.

STARS SHOULD
HOLD LEAD FOR
TWO WEEKS YET
BY RICHARD G.. BALDWIN

SAN ANCISCO, July 16.U.P)-
With the third week of the second
half of the Pacific Coast League
starting today. Hollywood S seintil-
lating Stars appear to be destined to
top the circuit for at least two more
weeks.
Thus far during the latter half
of the split season the Stars have
not encouraged much competition,
nor will they during the next two
weeks. Tire Stars already have
met Sacramento and Seattle; this
week they meet Portland and the
following week Seattle again.
The poor Seattle Indians, at pre-
sent on the lowest rung of the lea
que ladder with a record of two
wins and l. defeats, dropped six
straight games to the Stars during
the last series.
This week the southerners from
the movie city cross bats with Port
land. The Ducks have done little
better than their other northwestern
neigh bors, having won three con
tests and dropped l2.'
While Hollywood should be hav-
ing a comparatively easy time the
second place San Francisco Seals
in tie with Los Angeles with a
record of II and four-meet Sacra-
mento.
The Seals should more than break
even with the faltering Solons, who
are now in fifth position.
The Seals chances of coming
through with a straight string of
victories were enhanced with the re-
lease of .'Doc' Crandall, veteran
moundsman who always caused them
much trouble. and Hank SEVERED.
catcher. Owner Lewis Moreing,
gave Financial retrenchment as
his reason for giving the veterans
the air.
Los Angeles is due for the stiff
est battle of any of the upper divi-
sion clubs when it meets Oakland.
At the end of the weeks play the
Mission Reds should not be as low
as fourth place. The Reds clash
at Seattle with the Indians.
