Prsauage To Pitch Against CoLored Stars
Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY 'McLEMORE
 Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Chicago, June 17.-CUP)-Joe Gould, manager of James J. Brad dock, announced today that nothing mot even a broken neck-would prevent his man from doing battle with Joe Louis in Comiskey Park next Tuesday night.
 Gould's statemenft, given exclu- sively to 354 boxing writers, fol- lowed hard on the heels of an an- nouncement by Promoter Mike Jacobs that the seat sale for the heavyweight championship fight had passed the $600,000 mark.
 Shrewd boxing critics-men in the know-are of the opinion that Gould's bold declaration was moti- vated by the bundle of cash already on hand. They believe that Gould, who will get 50 per cent of the gate, undoubtedly was influenced by the thought of getting his hands-his stubby, plump hands which are so remindful of those of concert pianist-on 100000 dollars.
 This belief was strengthened when Gould, in simplifying his statement, said
 Filling Up
 There's more'n five hundred grand in the hamper already. I know, because I counted every slug of it. You can tell the world noth- ing will stop us from showing up and fighting. If Jimmy breaks a neck between now and fight time I'll roll him in there in a wheel-chair If he busts a leg he'll come on crutches. If he busts an arm he won't tell nobody.
 (At this point the kings proc- tor made a plea on behalf of the kings English, but Gould, with cold mercilessness, continued the as- sault)
 You oughta go upstairs and see the dough pile in. Amt never been nothing like it before"
 (At this point the kings English, with a final convulsive shudder, rolled over and died)
 Gould has been very close to the cash register ever since the first ticket was cold. He has a cot in the office and spends his nights there. The only time he is absent during the day is when he makes flying trips to the training camp to anoint the Braddock man with oil after workouts and tell him that Louis is a bum, big bum, and couldn't lick his grandmother even If given the first punch.
 Looks Elm Over
 Gould is very suspicious of the dollars that customers shove through the cage for tickets. He gives every bill "candling" that would frighten an hour-old egg. Half of those dollars are his, he figures, and he wants to run no risk of winding up with phoney half-dollar. If the pictures on the bills do not suit his artists eye he refuses them, and demands silver. And he gives the silver very thorough going ever. First he bites the coin. Then he

WASHINGTON IS CREW TO BEAT SAYS NAVY BOSS
Walsh Strong For Vest ern Boys Despite Own
 Star Shell

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June IT, UP) University of Washington was picked by Navy Coach Buck Walsh today as the crew to beat" in the annual intercollegiate re- gatta Tuesday.
 Navy picked the wrong year to have great crew." Walsh said, because Washington looks to have one of the best boats in years. Their experience is going to count a lot
 Navy is not going in for second or third place. It's either win it all or nothing. The boys are in fine condition and they intend to come out in front-in all three races"
 Al Ulbrickson, coach of the Wash ington Huskies, did not share the optimism of every other coach for his outfit, blaming the long train ride from Seattle for tiring them out.
 Not Too Good
 California's varsity was clock for the first time yesterday. The Col den Bears, after slow start, rowed the four mile course up the Hudson in 2l minutes and 20 seconds, more than two minutes ever Washing tons winning time of l9:09 last year.
 Syracuse was the only other out fit to take strenuous workout yesterday, coach Jim Ten Eyck send ing the Orange boat for stiff row ovcer the official disance. It was not a time trial.
 Cornell was on the rive twice, but only for leisurely pulls and the big red probably will not hold any timed workouts before Saturday.

drops it on the floor. Then he bites 1t again. Yesterday his examination of quarter was so severe that when he finished only the date remained, and he refused it on the ground that it was mutilated.
 Gould and Braddock won't get an exact fifty per cent of the gate. That is, they won't keep it after they get it. Because during the two years since Jimmy won the championship they have put the bite" on Promoter Jacobs for many thousands. So many thousands, in fact, that one observer made the ob- servation that the fight next week was in the nature of a benefit for Promoter Jacobs.

SIZE SPEAKS HER MINI

SHE SPEAKS HER MIND
On the other hand, Katharine
speaks her mind, and the inquir
ing reporter has only to listen
and by the right selective process
pick the conversational gems
that make up a colorful story.

tail hour and mass quiz was CAB

moved a mink coat. slumped into

Yes. she laughs now, when she
recalls that she was fired from
her first show in Washington
Death Takes a Holiday"-after
one Sunday night performance
at the Belasco Theater.
She remembers that one Poto-
mac scribe who wrote of her
work as the gentle Gracia in
Pirandello'S play described her
"an ambitious ingenue acting in a
white nlght Snlrt.
AS q matter of fact Miss Hep
burn was bounced because Pro-
ducer Joseph w. Gates wanted a
Name" in this role and Katha-
rine was then an obscure and as
piring actress. So Rose Hobart
got the job and Katharine Hep
burn, heart broken over the two
weeks notice, was to learn later
that she lacked the spiritual quail
ity" for this chore.
What would she like to do in
the movies? Well, she told Mr..
Kanour of the Baltimore Sun that
George Bernard Shaw'S st. Joan
would be role she would love.
Then she explained that there is
little chance to achieve this ambi-
ton. Principally because Holly
wood is afraid of the attitude that
the Legion of Decency or the Will
Hays office would take over the re-
ligiouS phases of the script.
Elisabeth Bergner attempted ST.
Joan in England but Shaw said a
voice from Rome stopped produc-
ton plans. 1t turned out later
that the Irish sage was imagining

Greet Waltz
Here Monday

''The Great Waltz" which re-
turns to the National Theater for
the week beginning Monday,
March 90, is generally hailed as
the triumph of modern Snowman
ship. Max Gordon, the producer,
and Hassard Short, who conceived
and directed the production, have
undoubtedly given the theater the
largest and most beautiful crea-
tion in it's history.
For two seasons '"The Great
Waltz" occupied the Center Thea
ter, Radio City, in Rockefeller
Center, New York. There it was
referred to as the ne plus ultra
of spectacular musical productions.
The critics, however, did not lavish
their praise on the incompatible
scenic effects alone.
