Godoy Is Facing FirsI
Real Test in Walker
Since u. ). Return

First important heavyweight bout
Of the Eastern outdoor season is on
tap tomorrow night in Grifith Sta
dium when Buddy Walker, a tough
Negro spoiler from Columbus, Ohio,
goes in against Arturo Godoy, Chill
can heavyweight contender, over a
scheduled 10-round route.
It will be the South American
champions first real fight since his
return to this country and definitely
should determine whether he is
qualified for the postwar shot he Is
seeking at Joe Louis crown.
On the strength of the 15-round
split decision fight he lost to Louis
in 1910 and the game stand he made
before suffering an eight-round TKO
in return match with the champ,
Godoy presently rules an 8-to-5 ia
vorite, but there will be many who
give the experienced Walker a good
chance to spring an upset.
Walker, sharp combination
boxer and puncher, holds both de-
cision and KO over Lee Oma and
KO'd Buddy Knox and whipped
Tony Music locally when Knox and
Music were ranked among the coun-
try's leading heavies. 1t was Walker
who made Baltimore boxing con-
Scious back in 1940-4l when he
smashed out rapid succession of
victories, including a win over Ros-
coe Toles, a several times winner
over Godoy.
An interesting supporting show
backing up the main event features
a pair OF skies pairing off Yancey
Henry, Pacific Coast heavyweight,
VS.. Julio Diaz, a Cuban newcomer
and Smuggy Hursey, popular local
welterweight, VS.. Danny Kapilow
of New York. Freddy Rich and Paul

one of the four -rounders, and an

The two Cub triumphs over De.
