NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-lP- Joe Louis risks his heavyweight cham pionship for the 24th time in ten years tonight. but if Jersey Joe Walcott can take it away from him it will be one of the rings greatest upsets.
 Louis has nevertheless told intl- mate friends he wants to make the fight as short as possible, maybe even one round
 His public prediction is a dig nified T will win
 crowd of approximately 1800o paying $225,000 is expected at Madison Square Garden for Louis only fight of the year, with the main bout starting at 10 p. m, EST, and scheduled for 15 rounds.
 The record indoor gate is s20l,- 613 drawn by Jack Delaney and Jim Malonsy February 2, 1927.
 Public interest in the fight, top seats for which cost $50, stems from the feeling that this may be one of Louis last appearances.
 Louis and Walcott each is B and each is a Negro. There the comparison ends.
 Jo2's Br liant Record
 Louis has one of the most bril- liant of all fighting records. Wal colt has been up and down through the years, and so doubtful was his claims to be matched with the champion that originally tonight's encounter was called an exhibition until it was pointed out Louis title was at stake no matter what 1t was called.

louis Is Favored 10 Win Toniqhl Over Waleoiiin
 Scheduled 15Rcunder

Betting has been light. Off, cially the odds favoring Louis are one to TO- Anyone can put up $6 for a chance of winning $5 whether or not Walcott comes out for the fifth round, with the bookmakers taking ths advantage either way.
 Going To England
 Assuming Louis is still the cham pion after tonight, he will go to England for a series of exhibi- tions for which he will be paid s90,O00 and then return to prepare for a big summer outdoor fight if the right challenger comes along.
 Ole Tandberg, the Swedish champion who will watch Louis tonig>t. may be that man. Louis, at least, thinks he is big enough. The champion has hintsd he may quit after next year
 1S-Pound Advantage
 Louis, at PIP pounds, heaviest of his career by few ounces, has about an Is pound advantage over Walcott. He is two inches taller than Walcott's six feet and has two inches more of reach.
 Win or lose, Louis gets AS per cent of the gate, or procably $100,- coo, and Walcott gets Is percent.
 Chairman Eddie Egan of the boxing commission has ended sev- eral pre-fight arguments. To the request of Walcotts manager that some other referee than Arthur Donovan be used, he replied tart ly that the commission would pick its own man as usual Eagan then ruled that any brand of gloves can be used, just so they conform to specifications.

MIAMI. Fla, Dec. 5. lR-One of the big battles in baseball appear cd to be shaping up as rumors of dissension among Pacific Coast league owners leaked out here to dwarf all other activities at the minor leagues 46th annual con- vention.
 Despite League President Clar- ence Rcwland's insistence that all was serene among the Coasts moguls. 1t was learned that Paul I. Pagan, vice president of the San Francisco Seals and generally referred to as the strong man of the league, had conlided to friends that he was determined to bring major league baseball to San Francisco.
 Pagan added he did not care whether the Seals entered the big leagues as part of the eight club Pacific Coast circuit or as four team group composed of themselves, Los Angeles, Oakland and Holly wood
