ODDS DROPPING

L0uShran Is Not Such a Heavy
 FaV0Tite Over BraddOCk

New York, July 16 LPl-Thore are rumors that James ]. Braddock has developed q. good left hook which he hopes to use with good effect when he faces Tommy Loughan in their light heavyweight champion ship battle at the Yankee Stadium Thursday night but the chances are that the Jersey City challenger will fall back upon his trusty right when and if a crisis develops.
 Observers at Braddock's training camp at White Sulphur Springs, N. Y, have noticed the challenger working away with left hook. But James J. is not by any means reglecting his straight right. It was a straight right that broke Pete T.atzo's jaw, knocked ont Tuffy Griffith and stopped Jimmy Slattery and no one knows better than Brad dock that his fortune is in his right hand.
 With that hand Braddock punches hdrded than any light heaNNNelSht Tn the business, it would seem. But Loughran. at his camp in Hoosick Falls, N. Y, ap- pears unworried. The champion. ap- parently close to his best form, is depending upon his speed and box ing skill to keep him out of the way Of the challenger's punches.
 Odds on the bout have been shortening. Indications now are that loughran will enter the ring little better than an even money choice. The betting fraternity seems to have decided that the 175-pound title-holder has lost none of hi; speed and that there is more than remote chance that Braddocll will succeed 10 the title.
