Godoy Manager
.Anti-Donovan

NEW YORK-M anager Art
WE'LL demanded today that the
boxing commission refrain from
appointing Arthur Donovan as
referee for the Louis Godoy cham
pionship battle a week from to-
night, because Donovan already
has voted in print" against Chal-
lenger Godoy.
In his written demand, WE'LL
charged that Donovan passed
judgment" on the fight in an
article appearing under his name
in this weeks issue of a national
magazine.
In the first Louis Godoy tilt
on Feb. q, Donovan gave
Louis 10 rounds and Godoy
four. One Of the two judges
gave the fight TO Godoy by
wide margin.
In addition to mailing his own
demand, Pilot WE'LL has asked
Anibsl lara, Chilean consul gen.
eral in New York. to intercede
with the commission in Godoy's
behalf. Arturo Godoy is a Chilean.
Well and Godoy are particu-
larly incensed at the conclusion of
Donovan's article which empha-
sizes that Louis can cut loose
against Godoy this time "and
win" since the champion probably
will retire after this battle and
hence need have no fear OF injur-
ing his hands.

Belmont Gives
 In Twelve Days .$4OO,OOO Prizes
BY JACK GUENTHER United Pres Racing Editor

New York. Sept 2s- -tUP)- The richest turf meeting ever held in the United States opened today at Bel- mont park where thanks to a gol- den hadvest reaped by the pari- mutuels- thoroughbred owners will compete for almost $40O,00O in a dozen racing days.
 The unprecedentedly rich pro- gram was touched of with triple ply inaugral card built around the $2O,OOO Lawrence Realization, the 6, 1000 fall lightweight handicap and the $5,OO0 Brook steeplechase handi- cap. It will continue until Oct. and it should produce three divisional champions.
 The 48th renewal of the Lawrence, g gruelling mile and five furlong route run for three year olds, was the featured attraction today be- cause 1t brought together three title aspirante. They are Milky Way farms Ga1lahadion, winner of the Kentucky Derby and top weight at 126 pounds; c. D. Widener's Your Chance, 123; and Belair Studs Fenelon, also 123.
 Loaded Down
 The lightweight was studded with the best sprinters in the east. Dr. Whinny Uas given the top impoSt of 134 pounds for the six-furlong dash down the Widener straight course in field of IA, with Pictor, Y129, and Straight Lead, 123, ex- pected to offer the strongest oppos- ition. The Brook, 8 two and a half mile jump event, drew 10 entries with Deanslaw the probable favor- ite at 15l pounds.
 In all, IA stakes will be run dur- ing the meeting and many changes have been made in their distances and values. The Belmont Futurity, often called one of the five great races In the world, will be run Sept. 28 for a gross purse of almost $l00,- 900 while the New York Handicap at $50,000 added will top the pro- gram on getaway day.
 The purses will average 4,00O a day, the highest figure ever reached in the United States and one made possible only by the record betting turnover in the mutuel machines during the first year of their opera ton in New York State. But while the purses have been boosted im- measurably, they will be jacked even higher if the handles continue to grow.

''SPEC'' SHEA
 WINNER OVER
 DORIAN STARS
Borough Boy Pitches Five Hit Game After Shaky
 Start

Naugatuck, Sept. g. = Frank Spec" Shea did not disappoint his followers here yesterday as "Shea Day" was observed. Shea turned back Razor Doran's All-Stars of Wa terbury with only five hits and the local team won. 7s2. Shea has been pitching for the Amsterdam, N. Y, team, farm combine of the New York Yankees.
 The game yesterday at Recreation field was a good one. Shea yielded three bingles in the first inning, iri- cluding a double by Larry Mullen, to permit two runs, but pitched two- hit ball for the rest of the game.
 Doubles by Sweeney and Casaly in the fourth accounted for two of Naugatuck'S runs and Roy Johnson, Waterbury pitcher, hit a wild streak in the seventh inning, filling the bases. Don Gupnoud then singled to score two runs and Mike Pisani cleaned up the bases with . long homer. Dom Guererra relieved Johnson and checked further scor- ing.
 Shea received many gifts from lo- cal merchants. Rev. Albert Taylor of St. Francis church making the pres entation speech. The St. Francis T. A. J. Jrs., fife and drum corps furnished music during the game. Shea and Rowley were the local battery and Johnson, Guerrera and Haiday were the Waterbury bat teries. Naugatuck tallied 10 hits.

COllniskey One Year Away From LOuis Says Jack Dempsey

If Patrick Edward -Ccmiskey knocks out Max. Baer in Jersey City's Roosevelt Stadium next Thursday night it will create the first time in heavyweight history that titlehold- CT finds himself completely stlr- rounded by Irishmen in quest of his laurels. Already. on the champions trail, irnpatiently awaiting Q crack at his cor1k, are the light heavy weight king, Billie Conn, and the gbiffing Baltimorean, Red Burrnan.
 None can dispute either their right to the chance or their Celtic ances- try. Conn was born Connaught; Burman is Clarence Burns. Patrick Edward always has been just plain Comisky. Pats probable conquest of Baer, however, would send him speedily ahead of Bill and Red to- ward the goal that is Louis.
 The Irish Idol amazed the most critical jury to assemble in years during his one-day stand in the Pioneer gymnasium. His improve lnent was marked, though some thought that 8 little wait would en- chance his chances against the Brown Bomber.
 Year Away
 Jack Dempsey, for one, is of this opinion. The ol' Manassa Mauler had nothing but words. of praise for Comiskey's performance as he mer- cjlessly battered three sparring mates but, cornred, he siad: Pat looks like the right ticket, but I think he just now is about year away from taking Joe"
 This didn't set too well with a group of enthusiastic Irishmen who surrounded him and one of them, generating infuriation, retorted: If that's the case then, Jack, how far away is this loafer, Baer?'
 The discreet Dempsey surveyed the situation and, seeing no nearby wall against which h could back himself in event of emergency, re-, piled: "Oh. him. He's six or sevenl"
 The answer was satisfactory and sent most of the Irishmen Scurrying to the nearest betting commissioners to reduce the to odds first quot ed on Madcap Maxie to more re- spectable 8 to s.
 Meanwhile, Baer continued his at- tempts to ruffle the iinseasoned Celt, his latest threat promising ito break that mick's jaw in four or five placesl"
 From Comiskey, however, it only drew the rejoinder that The better do 1t before he drops his hands the first time to pull up his tights be- cause that's when he's going to get bombed"
 And, no law will permit the build ing of shelter in the center of the ring.
