Defects; 100000 House
To See Fight Monday
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April l5.-Los
Angeles and environs probably will
put out 100000 or more Monday
night for the privilege of sitting in
on a ring slaughter or miracle of
the century-the Joe Louis-Jack
Roper heavyweight battle.
Demands for tickets poured in
and a weathermans forecast of
a starry, balmy evening on the
night of the encounter gave added
impetus to the rush for admittance
to CALIFORNIA; first heavyweight
title bout in 80 years.
Louis seemed in perfect shape to
justify the 10-to-1 betting odds
offered.
The battle SCARED Roper and his
faithful followers professed indif-
ference to the odds. A one-round
knockout in 1881 by James j. Brad
dock. who later became the cham
pion; knockouts. technical knock
outs and losses to fighters like Tuffy
Griffith, Charley Retzlaff, Buck
Everett, Artuo Godoy, Eddie Simms
and others-all were shrugged away.
They pointed instead to Roper's
two-round kayo over Patsy Per-
roni last summer-Perroni, who
went 10 rounds with Louis in 1895:
his one-round knockout over Art
Lasky, in 1886: his one-round knock
out over Bob Nestell this year.
