CHILEAN'S STYLE
AGAINST CHAMP
Even Money Being Bet That
Contender Will Answer The
Bell For Sixth Round

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-CP-His
best punch is his head to the
chin; he's rougher than Tony Ga
lento, and he's always c%rouching
low, covert g vital spots and pitch
ing a left hook that starts some.
where near Coney Island.
The name is Arturo Godoy, and
he's the Chilean who's going to try
the South American way against
Joe Louis in Madison Square Gar
den Friday night.
He's definitely the one type OF
fighter Louis doesn't fancy facing
A "stand-up guy" as the trade
puts it, is easy for the heavyweight
champion. A fellow who leads tt
him is a cinch. But when they box
and weave and crouch until they're
on top of the Bomber-he doesn't
like it so much, and he exercises
considerable caution with such fel-
lows.
That's why a lot Of the wise
lads along Bash boulevard figured
tonight Godoy is even money to
answer the bell for the sixth round
and has a good chance of being the
big man who was there when the
Is rounds are over.
There's little chance that Arturo
will end the Bomber's all-time rec
ord of eight straight successful
championship d%efenses, because
Louise admittedly has too much
class for him. But most of the
folks are agreed that Godoy has
the style to make things interest
ing for more than the usual brief
stand against the boss man of the
big fellows.
The South American fisherman
campaigned up here a couple OF
years ago with some success losing
only two of u starts. He whipped
Tony Galento twice, once on the
same card on which Louis dethroned
gallant Jim Braddock. But he was
beaten by Roscoe Toles and Nate
Mann.
At hat time he fought under the
management of Lou Brix. When
there seemed a possibility that Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs might run out OF
opponents for Louis, BriX released
the fighter and AL WeiTl, who had
been matchmaker for Madison
i. Square Garden on Godoy's previous
invasion, signed him up by cable.
The fact that he's a rough, tough
= citizen inside those ropes, and thai
. he twice trimmed Two-Ton Tony
who sat Louis on the seat Of his silk
panties before the Bomber bombed
: in Yankee stadium last summer, ha.
intrigued the cash customers con
: siderably, to the delight of Promoter
Jacobs. After his last count Of the
box office, Uncle Mike" figured
: that Louis record of never having
attracted a gate of less than $780,
900 for any of his fights in Madison
Square Garden was safe.
Godoy wound up eight weeks of
training at Summit, n. J., yester-
day while Louis extended his work
to four rounds of boxing today.
Godoy will weigh about 202 for the
festivities, a pound more than the
champion expects to carry to the
! post.

Of the original proposals for rails

by the executive committee of the

Willing to Wager

Although our prediction that the
27-year-old indoor 440-yard record
would fall at the Millrose games
last Saturday turned out wrong
we are willing to risk a buck or
two that the National A. A. U.
indoor mile record is lowered in
the championships at the Garden

Venzke set the record at Alb in
1892, the meet has been held under
the metric system. This is the first
time since then that it reverts to
the yardage system.

To Consider Cases

The L. S. L. T. A. also will con-
slider Friday the cases Of Wayne
Sabin and Gene Mako, suspended
for breaking the eight-weeks rule.
Both have submitted voluminous
briefs but will not be present.
The question revolves about play
ers receiving multiple travel ex-
penses-as an example, a player
travelling from Denver to Baltimore
for a tournament, then remaining
in the east for other competitions
but charging each of these tourna-
ments for round-trip travelling ex.

NEED $S,OOO,OOO BY MARCH is
TO KEEP WORK MOVING

Backed by the supplemental esti,
mate sent to congress Monday Repre-
sentative Leavy asked the house
appropriations committee members
to incorporate in the first deficiency
bill, to be reported early in February,
an item of $S,O00,00O.
This sum is to be Immediately
available to meet the cost of continu
ing work on Grand Coullee dam up to
June 80, when the next regular ap.
preparation will become available.
This budget estimate makes APP
preparation in order under house rules,
and while there is strong committee
opposition to increasing the regular
budget, Representative Leavy is en-
couraged to hope this appropriation
will be carried in the deficiency bill.
He is asking this appropriation in tns
deficiency bill rather than in the in
terror bill, because funds now avail
able for Grand Coulee will be exhaus-
ted by March Is, and there liz no
likelihood that the interior depart
tnent bin will have been enacted by
that date.
