Kodak, Spoldi At White City July 1

New Haven, June 22-Good news for fight fans came to light during the weekend with the announce mert by Al Weill that he has signed Leo Kodak of Chicago, and Aldo Spoldi. of New York, 10 meet in the 10-round feature of profess sional fight show at the White City Stadium, Savin Rock, Wednesday, July 1.
 Weill is now busy seeking talent for his undercard and has several promising hookups in the making ard his aim is to outdo his recent effort which marked his return to Connecticut fight circles after an absence of several years.
 His July l star bouters are by no means strangers to Elm City fight fans. Each has performed before local audiences on previous occa- sions. Kodak has displayed his wares here once before in match with Julie Kogon. On the other hand Spoldi has appeared twice, once defeating Kogan and the sec- ond time opposing Johnny Bellus, and again registering a victory.
 Spoldi in his last two fights posted wins over Harry Weekly and Punchin' Paul Altman. Both matches were staged in New Or- leans. Kodak, also a busy fighter, meets Charley Varre in Cincinnati Tuesday night,

Rockingham Park Ready For 3 Week Summer N MeeIing |

Salem, N. H., June 23-Rocking ham park, its barn area now opened to thoroughbreds and Its racing strip already in first-class condition, is ready to iraugurate the 10th sea- son of horse tracing in New Eng land.
 New England's smallest and old est track definitely will open on the 2Oth of July for a three week sum- mer meeting, and just as definitely conduct an autumn meeting start ing deep in the month of Septem- Der, unless the war forces com- plete close down of all race-trackS. It will fulfill all it's commitments to horsemen, regardless of the trans portation problems now confronting all sports enterprises.
 As an indication of that fact, the stake book for the summer meeting already is being distributed to horse men at Suffolk Downs, at Aqueduct at Delaware Park, and at Arlington Park, and racing secretary John Purcell Turner already anticipates some of the finest racing in the his- tory of the old Rock.
 Promising
 A stake event will be staged each Wednesday for an added purse of $2,500, each Saturday for an added purse of 5000, and each of the stakes is an old friend. They will be, in order of their running, the Salem Stakes for two year old Allies at five furlongs; the Race land Handicap for three-and-up at six furlongs; the Maplewood Stakes for two year old colts and geldings at five and one-half furlongs; the Granite State Handicap for three and-up at a mile and one-sixteenth; the Matron Handicap for Allies and mares, three-and-up, at mile and one-sixteenth; and the traditional Rockingham Park Handicap, last year won by Market Wise, for three and-up at a mile and furlong.
 Nominations for all stake events will close a week from Monday, July 6, and the applications for stall space indicate that many of the most famous stables in America will be represented in the feature races.
 There are not many changes down the years at old Rockingham; so the same officials will supervise the same high brand of racing. The stewards will be Herman P. Conk- ling, Tom Thorp, William Amy, Jr., and Jack Conway. John R. Mac- on1ber will be honorary steward as of yore, and Charles E. Stickney of Nashua once again will represent the New Hampshire Racing com- mission. Placing judges will be How ard Reynolds, Stanley Gillespie, and o. E. Pons, Jr. Bob Frend will do the starting; John Turner the hand icapping; and Lou Smith the man. aging ard directing. It's the same old Rock of racing.

DETT|NA, BODO AT CLEVELAND
 THIS EVENING
Promoter Expects 25,OOO to See Heavy Bout
 -COIan vs Greek

Cleveland, June 23-(UP)--Pro- motor Larry Atkins bid to make Cleveland the country's wartime boxing center gets underway to- night when Melio Bettina, swarthy Italian slugger from Beacon, N. r., meets giant Harry Bobo of Pitts burgh in the feature match of a card of four 10-round bouts.
 Atkins predicted a crowd of at least 25,00O would turn out for the outdoor card in the lake-front stad- ium. Profits of the show will go for purchase of a bomber for General MacArthur."
 Bettina, third-ranking heavy. weight contender, ruled @ slim, 7-5 favorite in his rematch with Bobo. The odds opened at 3-2 and Atkins said he expected them to drop fur. ther, with the distinct" possibility that they would be even-up by ringtime.
 The other 1O-rounders will pit Anton Christofcridis in a rernatch against Johnny Colan of New York, Joey Maxim of Cleveland against Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland and Har- ry Teaney of Cleveland against Maxie Shapiro of New York city.
 Any one of the four bouts could stand alone as @ feature match but the Bettina- Bobo fray commands the most attention. Melio had dif- ficulty in his first meeting with Bobo in Pittsburgh last December and only won e split-decision after 10 rounds of furious fighting. Bet tina even hit the canvas in the final round.
 New Plan
 "This fight is going to be differ ent," Bettina said. T have no plan of attack but I'm heavier now and know I can beat him. I only weighed lsl for that Pittsburgh fight but figure to come in at about 189 to- ngiht. That will make 8 lot of dif- ference-and besides I can outlast and outsmart the big boy"
 Both fighters are riding the crest of impressive victories. Bettina will be after his 33rd straight victory as heavyweight, while Bobo has 8 mark of 25 wins in 30 fights, 10 of them by knockouts.
 "When I finish off Bobo," Bettina said, "I'm going into some active branch of the service. Then, I hope that the army will permit Louis to fight me for a service fund. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to wait until he retires, because he doesn't want to fight me-"

Louis To Live
 "Life Of Riley"

New York, June 2S-(UP)-Cor- poral Joe Louis boarded the 20th Century Limited at 6 p. m. (EWT) last night for an unescorted jour- ney to Fort Riley, Kans.
 Louis, assigned to the cavalry re- placement center at the fort to complete an undetermined amount of basic army training, will arrive wednesday afternoon.
 The champions departure last night came on the fifth anniversary of his becoming heavyweight title holder. He won the crown from James J. Braddock in Chicago on June p, 137.
 Alone at Last
 Although many of Louis friends were at the train to see him of, 1t marked the first time that the champion had taken 8 long trip alone. A secretary, trainer or one of his managers always accom- panied him previously.
 Asked if he would do any box ing in the future, Louis grinned and said:
 That's all in the hands of the army. But I'm in good shape and weigh around PIP pounds"
