Chance 10 Go Route
With Louis Given

Rugged Hungry Fighter

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Champion
Joe Louis and Challenger Arturo
Godoy of Chile went today into the
final stages of their preparations
for the 15-round heavyweight cham
pionship battle here Friday.
Louis was to box six rounds with
sparring mates today and another
six tomorrow. Godoy was to wind
up his hard work today and exercise
only lightly until the fight.
While speculation increased as
to the probable outcome, cagey Joe
Jacobs, who has managed two
fighters that have had title tilts
with Louis-Max Schmeling and
Tony Galento-gave Godoy a chance
to stay the full Is rounds.
Although Jacobs is not a men,
ber of the Godoy encourage, he
has watched the fighters and says
arturo is all head and elbows,
rugged mauler who is hard to hit.
Don't forget he is a hungry
fighter who needs money. He'll go

pretty well, but they've got to leave
classes c and D alone-or else kill
baseball"
OF significance may be the fact
Washington has connections with
only one class A team, Springfield
of the Eastern League, and no affll-
iations with class AA teams. Grif-
fifth, though, expressed willingness
to take his chances on the open
market with other clubs.
All Minors Need Support.
commissioner Lands is right
when he says the manner in which
some farm clubs are run can be, and
is, an evil. But until he can ad-
vance some concrete proposal that
will allow class c and D leagues to
flourish, I'll battle. Glass c and D
leagues are the Ifelines of baseball.
There's no minor league team
that's self-supporting. Even the
Glass AA clubs have to have help
from the majors once in a while
Glass D leagues always are in need
of help. One or two clubs in q
Glass D league might make money
some years, but there isn't Glass
D league in the country that will
balance the slate when an audit
is made at the end of the season.
II don't believe Mr.. Lands real
lied the far-reaching effects Of
point S in his first declaration. I
believe he'll modify it and that, in
time, some proposal will be ad-
vanced to clear the picture"
Point 5 covers working agreements
and would mean, in effect, that
Charlotte, Washingtons Piedmont
League farm, couldn't give aid to
Orlando, the Mats Class D farm,
unless Charlotte owned Orlando
outright.
Griffith, in combating Landis'
proposal to grant subsidies, said,
"It's ridiculous to think a Glass D
club could operate on a subsidy OF
81 900 a season; or a Class c league
club on subsidy of 81, 1,5O0, or Glass
B team on $4,000. That is impossible
that amount would be just drop
in the bucket.
Were hearing a lot about the
evils of baseball right now" con-
tinued Griffith, 'but there also are
some good things we aren't hearing
so much about. There's a fund OF
SIS, 900 borne equally by the Amer
ican, National and National Associa-
ton of Minor Leagues to finance a
committee to organize new leagues.
Not so long ago there were II
leagues. Now there are A, thanks
to this committee"
Briggs Is Defended.
The ultimate solution, feels the
70-year-old Grifnth, may be q
limitation Of working agreements be-
tween major league clubs and all
leagues from Class B down.
Lands was a little rough with
that $4,000 fine against Walter
Briggs of Detroit" said Grifath.
Briggs Is an automobile man, not
q baseball man, and was thrust into
baseball overnight by Navin's death.
Those things that happened oc-
CURED before he came into the game
and since they happened under
Lands regime, he had right to
suppose everything was In order.
There.are only two Of 5000 or 30
players In the minors now who may
be classed as cold storage players.
They are Rizzuto and Priddy OF
Kansas City. The others are being
helped. It isn't right to rob many
Of benefits because two are being
mishandled."
