Louis Favored
to Repeat Win
Over Ramage
Heavyweight Bout in West
Is Expected to Draw
10000 Fans.
By Times Special

By Times Special
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21.-Joe
Louis. the energetic Negro youngster
who hopes to wind up with Make
Baer's heavyweight title, can i'm
prove his chances tonight with a
victory over Lee Ramage.
Ramage, knocked out in previ-
Gus encounter at Chicago, says he
will retire if he loses tonight. Odds,
ranging from 10 to to 10 to 6, ia
vored his retirement.
The fight will be staged at Wrig-
ley Field. 1t is scheduled for 10
rounds. About 10000 fans are ex-
pected.
At no time since he started his
meteoric rise has the Detroit Negro
been in better condition. Two weeks
Of hard training lay behind him as
well as a half dozen Sparring part
nerS. His natural zest, intensified
by visions of a title match with
Baer, made it hard on his sparring
mates. His sledge- hammer drives
flattened several.
Ramage, too, was pronounced fit,
though heavier than ever before.
Louis was expected to enter the
ring weighing 1875 pounds; Ramage
at 1911.
Experts pick Louis to win by a
knockout if at all.
