Court Decision Paves
Way for Braddock-Louis

NEWARK N. j., May 14.-UR'-.
In the most momentous decision i'll
boxing history, Federal Judge Guy
L. Fake today denied Madison
Square Garments request for a tenn
porary injunction to restrain heavy
weight champion James j. Brad
dock from fighting Joe Louis before
meeting Max Schmeling.
Although Fake left the door open
for a final hearing on the case, his
ruling OH the major question involv-
ed was so definite that President
John Reed Fitzpatrick of the Gar
den announced that an immediate
appeal would be made. The Garden
is not interested in a final hearing.
' The decision apparently paved
the way for the scheduled Brad
dock-I1ouis fight in Chicago on June
%, and virtually killed any chance
of holding the scheduled Brad
dock -Schmeling title fight in New
York on June 3.
Braddock's attorneys interpreted
the decision as a victory for the
champion and an important prece-
dent that will govern major boxing
contracts of the future.
If the decision is upheld by the
circuit court of appeals in Phila-
delphia, it will deal a death blow
to the practice of tying up cham
pions for unlimited periods as Madi-
son Square Garden has done in the
past through the so-called "Rickard
Clause" which is inserted in all

Clever Trainers Shipping Horses ToAgawam Park

Springfield, April 29-Some of the best known trainers and some of the best known thoroughbreds in the country are turning :heir atten- tion to the Agawam park race meeting which will start here on May 29 and gallop along until the 10th of July.
 Buddy" Hirsch of Floral Park, l.. l., the veteran Matt Colford, H. D. Cox, of Maryland, and Harry Brusie, the trotting horse man who reformed and became a leading trainer of the runners, are among the well-known gentlemen of the turf who filed applications for stall space this morning.
 Hirsch, without naming any names, has applied for and been granted six stalls. Co1ford will pop into the picture with half dozen thoroughbreds, including Young Ma tive, Classy Blond, and Uppercut, and Cox will ship in the well-knoWn Acautaw and Polly Barcarol among others.
 Good Stuff
 Harry Brusie will send the three year-old chestnut mare, Ipso Facto, the three-year- -old gelding, Balance Step, and the -year-old bay gelding, Sir Rose, which he trains for A. R. Mann; Gay Crest, G. G. Hanna's five-year-old brown mare; and a half dozen thoroughbreds owned by his brother, Lyman.
 There is a feeling of placid con- Continent at the beautiful little race track, as trainer after trainer an. a1ounceS his intention of campaign ing here. The class of thorough breds will be much higher than year ago, and it may be said here and now that the stake races which will be held during the coming meeting will attract many of the out standing runners in the nation, and provide pleasant surprise for the face goers of western Massachu- sets, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and upper New York.
 The announcement that fewer complimentary passes will be issued during the comin meeting has brought flood of letters from as far as Rutland, Vt., Newburgh, N. H. and Bridgeport, Conn, indicat- ang that there is widespread in- ferest in the future of New Eng lands baby track.
 The track is already in superb condition, as horses arrive daily; the center field has had its face freshly shaved; the cozy little club house Is being freshened up; and Ele goose hangs high.
