Rass|er Woods Takes
No Chance on Foes
bathrobe Trick

Alonzo Woods, the dignified gent
with the trim Van Dyke and cordial
dislike for bathrobes. has been added
to Thursday nights wrestling pro-
gram at the Arena, and will meet his
old friend, George Penchef1, in a 30
minute engagement.
They met last week, and In the
brief tussle Woods lost a 30-second
decision and his high regard for
bathrobes. 1t seems that the boys
were called to the center Of the
ring and Penchef grabbed his old
pal in friendly fashion. Woods
thought George merely wanted to
shake hands. but the next thing
he knew he was on the fiat of his
back and Referee Bennah Bort
nick was counting him out.
Woods excuse for such an un-
orthodox performance is that Pen
chef didn't give him a chance to
doff the bathrobe, but seized him
while his arms helplessly were in
cased in the wrap. This week to
avoid an embarrassing repetition of
the incident. Alonzo intends to enter
the ring with only towel flung over
his shoulders.
The feature match, lest it be
overlooked, finds the patrons old

calls the best of the lot; Whitley

Whitley is quite find; Peaches Da-
Wis, Gene Schott and Jim Weaver,

The National League is a pitchers
league and Cincinnati's pitching

other things being equal. But other

1.-THE superbly muscled dark bay

I'VE hope to go to Kentucky in
top shape for the Derby" said the
man. Well take pretty good horse
down there and naturally we hope
to win"
1t was Trainer Lou Schaefer talk
ing about w. L. Brann's Challedon,
3-year-old bred and foaled in
Maryland. Challedon won three fu-
TURTLES In row last year and is an
outstanding Kentucky Derby and

Schaefer has worked with Challe-
don since the son of Challenger IL
Laura Gal was born. He broke him
in as q yearling and has been with
him from the time he had his first
saddle on"
Schaefer Is Conservative.
The former jockey and owner
keeps a steady checkrein on his
tongue, so when he says Challedon
is a pretty good horse" it's some
thing like Californian calling a

Challedon, which wintered at the
old Benning track near Washington,
will be given test in the Chesa-
peake Stakes this Saturday along
with several other Derby and Freak
ness candidates. 1t will be his first
start since he won the Pimlico Fu-
turity in November.
He wintered we'll and has been
working good" Schaefer said. He
has put on weight and spread out
little and has been doing all we
want him to. In his last workout,
he did mile in LA
It's not hard to tell that Schaefer
Is proud of his pet.
Hes good actor" the trainer
said. He hasn't any bad habits, but
he does get little anxious at times.
Most any good horse will do that
when he's on edge. It's just a sign
he's in good shape"
Rode Preakness Victor.
The likeable Schaefer is a pink
faced. button-nosed, blue-eyed man
of 81 who was born in Haley, Idaho
and now lives in Washington.
He started riding in 1922 and kept
it up for 13 years. One of his great
est races was on May 10, 1929, when
he booted DR.. Freeland to victory
in the Preakness.
When Schaefer quit riding. he got
himself a string of horses and raced
in Maryland. New York and Florida

10000 Are Expected
For 1O-Round Title
Go atLos Angeles
Wagering Is How Long
Veteran Will Last;
Champ Is Ready
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOS ANGELES, April IT,
Heavyweight champion Joe Louis
remained an overwhelming favorite
to belt Jack Roper back into the
ashcan Of pugiism today rs Los
Angeles awaited the bell for their
10-round championship encounter
at Wrigley Field tonight.
Barring what would doubtless be
the biggest upset of all times in a
sport that has registered many a
back-firing prediction, the Brown
Bomber from Detroit was expected
to make this sixth defense of his
crown as successfully simple as most
Of the previous title affairs.
Betting on the outcome, such as
there is, found Louis a 10 to l
or better choice. with most of the
wagering centered on how many
rounds Roper will or will not last.
Big Jack, veteran of a thousand
and one nights in a prize ring and
most OF them stormy. faced the
biggest chance of splotchy career
backed by small but loyal band OF
followers, who shared with him
deepest scorn for the mighty Louis
prowess and the list of Louis vic
tins.
10000 Fans Expected.
California's first heavyweight
championship fight in 80 years and
Los Angeles first in history
promised to be as colorful as it
did brief Upward of 10000 souls,
among them the usual glamour
boys and girls from Hollywood's
film set dotting the ringside, were
expected to witness the bout. A
minimum 100000 gate" was ex-
pected by co-promoters Mike Jacobs
of New York and Tom Gallery of
Los Angeles, with Louis getting As

liant in his training, was expected

Commission offices.
Beaten more times than he cares
to remember and stopped no less
than seven times, Roper, born Cecil
Byron Hammond in Magnolia, Miss.
36 years ago, none the less seemed
sincere in his hope of whipping the
champion. His past fights, which
include technical knockout by big
George Godfrey in 1926, one-round
kayoes at the hands of James j.
Braddock and Charlie Retzlaff,
Roper treated with indifference.
Usually Indifferent.
Most of the time, the old barn.
stormer said, he didn't care whether
he won or lost. Bad breaks were
more common than good and he
quit the ring numerous times in
encouragement.
In the last two years, however,
over Patsy Perroni, Bob
Nestell, Johnny Erjavec and Eddie
Nader, and wins over other second
raters, stamped Roper as a dan
gerous puncher whom many of the
young stars frankly ducked.
Since winning the title from
Braddock in 1887, Louis won the
decision over Tammy Farr in IS
rounds. and stopped Nathan Mann
in three, Harry Thomas in five, Max
Schmeling and John Henry Lewis
in one. Roper, admittedly a kayo
puncher with his left, of his more
recent fights, seemed as dangerous
as any one of these, more so than
most.
