HEAVYWEIGHTS MEET TONIGHT, LOUIS FAVORED ' Joe Louis Heavy Favorite To Knock Out Schmeling New York, June 18— (U.K) — The Joe Louis-Max Schmeling ' heavyweight fight, scheduled for tonight, was postponed until tomorrow because of rain. The postponement came a few minutes after both fighters had weighed in. Louis weighed 198 and Schmeling 192. New York. June 18.--4J.fi) The miracle of fistlana comes off again in Yankee stadium tonight when Joe Louis seventh son of Munn , and Lily Barrow. born in the cottontields of Alabama displays that IKiralyzing punch on Max Schmel- . ing, former heavyweight ehampion. Approximately 70.000 persons will pay 1750.000 to see the probable third straight “execution" of a former heavyweight champion by the 22-year-old negro regarded us the "wot Id's greatest fighter.” The amazing part of this tremendous gate is the fact that 99 per cent of the crowd will be there* to sec* Louis duplicate* his conquests of two previous titleholders -Primo Camera and Max Baep. The betting is 10-l that Louis wins and 3-1 lie scores a knockout. There is an i almost total absence of Schmeling money. One of the few persons who thinks Schmeling has a chance, is the stuliborn. stolid, steel nerved German himself. In sharp contrast to the faint hearted Baer, be- 1 fuddled Camera, the terror-strick- 1 en Levinsky, pitiful Paulino Vzsudun. the German is unafraid and unshaken. If Schmeling can retain his composure, and not “die in the dressing room." as they say on cauliflower row, lie may gain 1 some last-minute support from the ringside bettors —not to win but 1 to stay longer than Camera and ' Baer, the other two ex-champions ) among Louis' victims, did.

In the event of a postponement, the tight will go on Friday night. The "million dollar gate" promoter Jacobs predicted when the match he made was K. O.’d by a Jewish boycott, according to the promoter himself. In retaliation for Hitler's persecution of Jews in Germany, New York Jews have circulated chain letters against the fight. One of the letters said: "Why let a German take home our money. Listen to Louis knock out Schmeling on the radio.” Although promoter Jacobs refused to reveal official figures, the advance sale last night was said to have reached nearly 600,000. Most of the 11,000 ringside seats, priced at S4O, have been sold. It is the cheaper seats which have failed to move as expected. o .lean Arthur Given May Guild Award For her work in “The Ex-Mrs. : Bradford,” Jean Arthur has lieen awarded the May prize by the Screen Actors' Guild, for the outstanding performance by a woman star during the month.
