LOUIS.GODOY. FIGHT
is BOOED BY CROWD

New York.-The South Ameri-
can way" going from the sublime
to the ridiculous as portrayed by
Arturo Godoy, gave Joe Louis the
toughest battle of his heavy
weight championship run Friday
night, but wasn't good enough to
take the fistiana's highest crown
from the brown bomber's kinky
head.
For Is rounds, the champion
was at times Hefuddled, and
some times hurt by the Chilean
fisherman's crouching, crowding
tactics, but in the end he came
on like real "boss" to take a
split decision in what Referee
Arthur Donovan, who has been
the third man in the ring for all
the Bomber's battles here, insis-
ted was the "hardest, toughest
test Joe had ever had.
Yet, although Joe won Clearly
and clearly, as the crowd of 49,
657 roared to the bruising, maui
ing match, the real hero of the
affair was the South American,
who took the dusky dynamiter's
Sunday punch" time after time
and still came on, crowding Louis
against the ropes and giving him
trouble with long overland lefts.

seemed a bit less worried over the
war today, although still far from
confident, and selected steels and
other stock market leaders pushed
up to 3 points before encountering
opposition.
Lack of real momentum in the
forward reversal was fly in the
ointment. The ticker tape frequent
ly loafed and the turnover of around
1900 900 shares was the smallest in
a week or so. Prices see-sawed after
midday and, at the close, recoverles
were Cancelled in many cases. There
also were several soft spots in evi-
dence.
Although outcome of the battle
in Northern France was in doubt,
traders appeared to have shaken
off some of their nervousness re-
sulting from the cloudy picture
abroad. Belated market support
was attributed partly to the belief
of analysts the list had been "over-
Sold and partly to revived optimism
regarding the domestic rearmament
program. In addition. the wiping
out of numerous weak margin &C
counts in the recent collapse was
thought to have improved the mar
ket's technical position.
Business news, on the whole, con-
tinued cheerful. A bulge of 3 points

duction was a trifle less than had
been looked for in some quarters, but
