at the Yankee Stadium tonight.
But the experts who have fixed
those odds or agreed that they are
about right already are wondering if
they may have made another mis-

There Is the possibility that the
Brown Bomber may be a bit punch

but he can't be any more shy than

On the Louis side, because of his re.

For example, there is the question
whether Louis. in a short but in

Also the fans are asking If he will
60 out with the same deadly eager
