Louis, Keen for Revenge, Is Is
Pick to Lick Godoy Thursday
In 77th Defense of His Title
BY the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June l5.-Joe Louis
is throwing a party in Yankee Sta
dium Thursday night to celebrate
the end of the third year in his
record reign as king of the fight
world.
He'll have no cake to carve in the
ring they're pitching out around
second base. So the Bomber figures
he'll carve Arturo Godoy instead.
He meets the crouching Chilean
for Is rounds or less in his l1th de-
fense of the world heavyweight
championship-an all-time total
which already has doubled the
high" for successful title defenses
by any of the IS previous heavy
weight champions since the Marquis
of Queensbury made a science out
of the art of scrambling ears.
Before him the best of the lot in
turning them back were Jim JET
fries, Jack johnson and Jack Demp-
sey, who went to the post and came
back winners five times each before
taking on the No. 6 jinx.
Joe Laughed at Jinx.
Louis, who took the title from old
Jim Braddock in June of 1887,
laughed at the "unlucky jinx" more
than a year ago when he belted out
old Jack Roper in Los Angeles.
He has planned quite a little
celebration for the occasion, all be-
cause he has mad on" against
Godoy. Joe tangled with Godoy
last February, and although coming
off with 15-round split decision he
was subjected to considerable ridi-
cule for the way Godoy's crouching,
"squat-tag" boxing baff1ed him.
HE made me look bad" Louis has
explained, and, hurt as always when
his pride has been touched by an
opponents unorthodox tactics, the
one-time Alabama cotton picker has
wheeled out his big guns for this
return go.
Godoy, on the other hand, prob
ably is as confident a rival as Louis
ever has faced. The former Chilean
fisherman is convinced he took Joe's
Sunday punches without getting his
hair too mussed. Now he is of the

Betty Jomeson's 8-Under--Por
Finish Earns 2-Up Win Over
Patty Berq in TN. Golf

The ip-and-tuck battle is best
described by the fact the girls halved
only Is. of the 36 holes. The other
81 were see-sawed back and forth,
with neither player able to gain
more than a Cup advantage.
Patty, firing a under II, held an
indecisive 1-up lead on the United
States champion at the noon inter-
mission, with the first half produc-
ing an array of spectacular shots.
Betty held a 1-up lead three times
during the morning trip.
Seven 1-putt greens by the Minne-
apolis redhead helped sway the
early putting duel, although Betty
tipped in three from between
and 25 feet out. The sturdy Texas
girl, who also defeated Miss Berg
in the final of the 1887 transmits
sissippi, came back with her sizzling
putter working wonders in the aft
ernoon and blistered the out nine
with 3 under IS to regain one
up lead as they headed into the
home stretch.
Cool and deliberately, Betty hung
up a record for the day of % pars,
II brides and bogeys, for a So
hole total of 146, T5-7D, 8 under
women's par and only four over
mems par.

definite opinion Louis doesn't even
have to show Thursday night, be-
cause he hasn't a chance to win
anyway.
Louis 1-to-6 Choice.
The betting men, however. advise
Arturo the Arrogant to take off
those rose -colored glasses. They've
installed the Brown Bomber a Ito
6 choice to make it two straight
over the South American way
and even to break par for the Godoy
course with an early kayo.
Godoy's chief hope lies in the fact
Louis is something less than the
greatest ring general in the world.
He "befuddles" easily and the Godoy
style is a right smart "befuddler."
In many ways the two are physi-
cally similar. Louis is 26, Godoy
admits to q. They'll each weigh
around the 200-pound mark and
both stand little over feet. The
chief difference lies in the damage
each carries in the cannon on the
end of his arms.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Rookie
Herb Hash moved down the Chicago
White Sox with four hits today to
give the Boston Red Sox a 5-to-2
victory and their second straight of
the series.
A streak of wildness in the fourth
inning robbed the young right
handler of a shutout In this frame
he walked three batters and then
allowed single by Mike fresh,
which brought in the Soxs only two
markers. In the last five innings
Hash allowed no hits and walked
only one batter.
The Red SoX went ahead in the
second inning on Jimmy Foxx,s
home run, his fifteenth of the season
and seventh of the year against the
White Sox. Another homer by Ted
Williams doubled Bostons lead in
the fourth, but Hash's wildness tied
the score before the inning was
completed.
Boston wasted no time moving
ahead again. In the fifth Bobby
Doerr singled and scored on Roger
Cramers triple. Then Cramer scored
on Lou Finney's long fly. The lead
ers added their final run in the
sixth on a single by Williams and
Manager Joe Cronin's double.
Williams led Boston's Shit attack
on Bill Dietrich with a home run
and two singles. Doerr collected
double and single and Joe Kuhel of

Some of the National League
bigwigs are shocked that the
American League should quietly
and unexpectedly give the St.
Louis Browns permission to play
IA night games, and this may
mean Clark Griffith's plan for
playing every night during the
summer eventually will go
through.
The National League is ex-
pected to relax it's rule on night
games to let the Cards play as
many as the Browns. The matter
will be one of the principal topics
of a league meeting at the time
