Directors don't mind working with

Other Animals, Too.
The kennel chief gets copy of
the script in advance, just as the
actors do. He knows exactly what
stunts his animals will be called on
to perform and trains them accord
ingly for several weeks before shoot
ing actually begins. Few of the top
dogs ever blow their cues. And di-
rectors never have to worry about
ar animal turning on them, as hu-
man actors occasionally do, and
saying, Listen, I think could play
this scene better If you'd let me

But, while dogs are leading the
way, animals of every other variety
are also adding to the confusion of
the glamour lads and lassies. An

The AS scored all of their runs

the young Tiger left-hander for

to the mound.
A single by Al Brancato with

ROUND SIX
Between rounds the referee ex-
amined Godoy's eye and then said
he was in condition to continue.
Godoy tried his crouch again but
straight lefts held him off. Godoy
was just short with a vicious over
hand right and Louis countered
with a left uppercut. They mauled
in midring, then when the referee
separated them, they fell back into
close position again against the
ropes. They banged away at short
range for half a minute, with Co.
dogs head resting against Louis
chin. Again Godoy was wiping the
blood from his eye and once more
the fans booed as the action slowed
somewhat from the early ging.
Luis uppercuts were doing con-

with a series of lefts and rights to
the head, then Louis caused Go.

Louis boxed carefully as Godoy
missed two wild swings. The
Bomber scored with his right up
percut, then connected with two
straight lefts to the nose. Another
left split Godoy's eye again. The
blood was virtually pouring from
the eye by this time. Louis held
Godoy off with straight let's, then
was just short with the most vici-
Gus right hand of the battle. There
was more mauling. Then Louis
fired lefts and rights to the body.
Godoy's overland right bounced
off Louis head. Louis came out of
a clinch, hammered Godoy at will.
He did the face some damage and
Godoy went down. He got UP at
the count of six as the bell rang.

ROUND EIGHT
Godoy tried to hold Immediately
but Louis fought furiously to back
off. He hammered let's and rights
and a left hook shook Godoy to
the heels. Louis was hitting him
just as he pleased and Godoy went
down neal a neutral corner. He
got up at eight and walked in for
more punishment. A whistling right
hand dropped him near his own
corner and Referee Cavanaugh

by a technical knockout at 1 min
