ducats ordinarily are prepared for Sc
a thousand. The Evans brothers,
who run the Loeb Sheldrake resort
where Jim Braddock trained to win his
world championship, continue to bet
that the luck of their spot will hold
good when the title finally is defend
ed. Nasty mems say that the
real head of the opposition wrestling
trust is Billy Sandow and that the
power behind Champion Ali Bahia
comes from the Middle West.
Mike Jacobs, the sports impresario
who probably knows more about Broad
