Pastor. you see. is managed by

Louis was pitiful for a guy who was

despite a series Of almost pitiful ex-

Louis Punch.Shy.
BY JACK DEMPSEY.

~ H1CAGO, June AL pick
Jimmy Braddock to beat Joe
Louis In their fight here to-
~ morrow. realize that there
are unknown qualities" in the cases
Of both men that may crop up unex-
pectedly in this fight, such as the
stamina Of the men. Braddock's en-
durance and Joe's ability to take a
punch. But weighing up both men
I'm stringing along with Braddock
because he looks big and strong enough
to win, his legs appear capable of
carrying him through Is rounds with
out collapsing under him, and I know
ne has fighting heart that will urge
him on even under the most adverse
circumstances, If these circumstances
happen to arrive.
Feels Jim Can Stand Gaff.
N OTHER words, believe that II
Louis is able to put Jimmy on
Queer Street. or even put him down,
| Braddock will still be contender when
ne gets up, and he will get up II he
Is able.
II Braddock happens to BE- lucky
with his punches, and he gets Louis
going, I believe he has the stuff to
go In and finish Joe.
Both men are hard hitters, but I
believe Joe is bit punch shy and that
ne will feel" Braddock's wallops more
than Jim will feel his. I think Brad
dock can take it better than Louis.
and that he will keep punching all
the time il the going gets hectic.
Joe Louis has youth in his favor,
but Braddock's experience should off,
set this youth. Jim is just turned 81.
If we can believe the records, and
the way Jim has been living he has
not aged too much in a fighting
way.
Believes Louis Has Slipped.
I ALSO believe that Schmelinp's
busting OF OF Louis has had a
greater effect on him than his ad-
mirers are willing to concede.
The only man who went into the
ring with Louis without any qualms
or "inferiority complex" as the bows
say, licked him. That was Schmel-
Ing. I'm sure that Braddock won't
have any inferiority complex when
he faces Louis.
III admit that Louis, il he were as
good as he was at the end Of 1895,
probably would get my vote against
the Braddock of today But I'm con-
vlnced that Louis is not the Louis he
was, and that Braddock has the stuff
to beat him with.
Jim has developed a corking left
hook to the head. and he is known to
have terrific right. He has a good
left jab, and he is pretty good boxer.
Jim has patience. and he can outwait
Louis if he has to.
Finds Braddock's Hands Good.
SAID before, and I repeat, Brad
docks legs are the big factor
In this fight. And his legs certainly
look very good.
Braddocks hands look to be good
and he assures me they are in per-
feet condition. Naturally. the hands
are as important as anything else
most important, II you ask me. Jims

Ahearn, who never hesitates to saw
his show is good. nevertheless ap.
pears to be particularly jubilant over
his latest bit Of pairing off scrappers,
going completely overheard in his
prediction that joey and Nicky will
display a brand of fighting unequaled
previously in l26-pound ranks here.
The wide open styles and Wiling
ness to tight on the part OF both boys
may substantiate Goldies rosy-hued
remarks, for on the paper at least,
the solid smacking lads figure to
create quite rumpus
Jerome's Record Bright.
A RCHIBALD. on the strength Of
his seventh round knockout
victory over Ray Ingram here re-
Gently, is extremely popular with
local ringworms, but If betting odds
and the cold figures of the record book
are any indication Of his worth. the
22-year-old Jerome may supplant
Joey in the fans favor.
Jerome, substituting for the in
jured Lou Gevinson. has been in
stalled 6-5 favorite to trounce the
bouncing Archibald On the basis OF
his record. which shows victories over
such fighters as Lou Salica, former
world bantamweight champion. John
ny Pena, joey Wach, Bernie Friedkin
and Henry Hook. deserves the dubious
distinction Of being favored by the
local gambling gentry.
Archibald, however. is determined
to retain his standing in this sector
and continue to employ Washing
ton as the hub. of his fstic operations.
He still Is anxious to meet Gevinson,
but Ahearn has dictated he must show
well against Jerome to do so.

must be good, or he wouldn't be sock
ing hard left hooks and hard rights
in training. But neither OF these fel-
lows has trained himself with any pro-
longed hard-hitting bees.
Louis, Of course, is dangerous
fighter. He's always dangerous, for
there's no doubt that he can hit. But
in actual battle Braddock may not
prove as easy to hit as he looked in
training. The same goes for Louis.
But Braddock did not appear as easy
to hit as Louis. Louis is a good
fighter till he gets hit. Then he's an
other fighter. And I think Jim will
hit him plenty.
Champions Luck Liked.
50 FAR as physical measurements
go. the men are very evenly
matched. But measurements don't
mean so much. II you could measure
the stamina Of the men, their reserve
power, etc, it would be much easier
to dope out the winner.
We know Braddock has the heart
Of lion. I do not question Louis in
this respect, but believe Braddock
would carry on longer and harder un-
der adverse circumstances than would
Louis.
And finally there's the matter Of
luck. Braddock Is the favored son
Of Lady Luck in fighting. He's had
his share Of hard luck. but ever since
his comeback, when he got of the
floor to nail Corn Griffin, Jim has
been lucky guy.
So If this fight is to be decided by
a lucky punch, we'll, I'm stringing

Of the Chicago White Sox tomorrow

amazing calm today.
There were no arguments about the
selection of referee no last-minute
legal attempts to halt the contest, no
ticket-speculating scandal and very
little-if any-wagering on the out

Yet the bout, scheduled for IS
rounds or less, will be assured of
financial success, with indications
pointing to an attendance of 10000
and gate receipts of from 100000 to
$150,000. Out of this sum will go for
tunes to the boxers, perhaps 100000

few years ago was on the Federal

Champ Confident of Win.

RRADDOCK was in high spirits as
he brought to an end his long
training seige and predicted he would
win by a knockout in eight rounds.
L have never been afraid of any
Hghter," he said, "and Louis holds
no terrors for me. I will fight him
every step Of the way. If I'm defeated
1t will not be through fear. I will
not quit. 1t will take a clean knock
out to keep me down for the count
There will be a knockout tomorrow
night, but it will be Louis, instead of
me, who will be counted out. There
are some who say may be rusty for
not fighting since took the title from
Max Baer two years ago. That's not
correct. My legs are strong and my
eyes are sharp and I'm ready"
If Braddock goes he'll go early, &C.
eording to the experts, and the longer
he stays the longer and sadder the
night will be for Louis, with the pros
pect that Braddock, rated as the
superior boxer. may be in there at the
finish to get the decision. Braddocks
admirers figure that what he needs
most to whip Louis is a pair of legs
to stand up, since he'll go into the
ring unafraid.
For the fight itself, preparations
Are complete. The $1,000 ring.
shipped here from New York, has
been set up over second base on the
playing field and is surrounded by
$4,000 ringslde seats, none more than
120 feet from the scene of action.
Seating Capacity Cut.
NHE seating capacity has been re-
duced from 10000 to $4,000 to
Avoid waste in construction, as the
promoters do not figure on a Ga
pacity crowd.
More than 600 press reservations
have been made, record for a cham
pionship fight. The fight writer's are
from all parts of the country, from
Canada, and even as far away as
London. England, and Australia.
Who'll win?" was on the lips of
thousands OF visitors in discussions
IN hotels, restaurants and cocktail
bars. Dozens of special trains from
New York, Cleveland. Milwaukee,
Pittsburgh, Detroit and other cities
began to arrive today and will come
In for the next "a hours. Airplane
Anes dispatched their ships in sec
