The eagerness with which jim
Braddocks Manager Joe Gould
jumped at the boycott movement
against Max Schmeling as an eX-
cuse to skip the proposed champ
ionship bout clearly indicates that
he wants no part of this fight.
Gould employed every trick in
the book to avoid signing for title
bout with the German ex-champ.
He made no bones about it. His
heart was, and still is, set on a
meeting between Braddock and Joe
Louis. The mere thought of a bout
between Braddock and the Brown
Bomber brings warm, golden glow
to Gould A golden harvest it would
be.
1t has long been the notion Of
Braddock and Gould that the cham
pion has a better than fair chance
of beating Louis. They insist the
Bomber had a flaw. in his defense
long before Max Schmeling dem
onstrated the fact. The champions
chance of winning against the crafty
German veteran is another matter.
Braddock was anxious to take on
Louis even before Schmeling ex-
ploded the myth of the negros in
vincibility. That's fact. He was one
OF the few to pick the German to
whip Louis. Immediately after the
Bomber was counted out by Arthur
Donovan, bumped into Braddock.
L Told You So
What did l tell you at Lakewood
month ago?" he asked. Il knew
Louis could be beaten. and was
one of the few to think So You I'M

understood all right. And fur
thermore, I distinctly remembered
Jimmy Braddock standing at the
ringside in Louis training camp
with Tommy Loughran, the great
light-heavyweight ex-champion, and
listening to Braddock's reply to our
question as to how the Bomber
looked.
Joe LOOKS mighty good, and he
is certainly great puncher 49, but
| still say that some smart heavy
weight with his eyes wide open is
going to step in and pick him Off.
He is ripe for it,"
You Can Quote Me-
Braddock was ANXIOUS to be
quoted at the time He was looking
forward to a bout with Louis in

disposed of Schmeling.
When Schmeling upset the apple
cart, Braddock got out of the Sep
TENDER match by turning up with

Despite the apologies, Britain was
understood to be preparing to dis
patch severe note to Toxic, and
Eden indicated he would make a new

later in the day.
Look TO u. s. Leadership.
There were growing indications that
the British government would look to
President Roosevelt for leadership in
the next move if protests fail to gain
full satisfaction for the attacks on
British and American vessels.
The British nation, aroused by the
Oriental situation, apparently had nc
intention OF letting the matter rest
with the dispatch of q routine pro-
test.
However the view was expressed
that the United States was the more
a8grieved party" because Of the sink

gunbosts Ladybird and Bee weathered
attacks. Therefore. in this reasoning
the initiative was Washingtons.
