JOE LOUIS AND AL ETTORE TO FIGHT TONIGHT Heavyweights To Fight In Philadelphia This Evening Philadelphia, Sept. 22.—(U.RF-A1 hittore, Philadelphia s boastful tig-er-man. and Joe Louis, the sepia; socket from Detroit, square on before 60,000 fans in municipal stadium tonight. Loudmouthed Al thinks Joe Is “yellah.” Betting odds are 4 to 1 that Joe'll knock that word right down his throat. In fact, the odds were 8 to 5 that the crowd which wiTI pay more than *250,000 to see the scheduled 15-round bout will witness a knockout—with Ettore the victim. He would he shuffling Joe’s 25th kayo victim. Ettore is one of the most popular fighters the city of Brotherly Love ever knew, largely because of three triumphs over Leroy Haynes, the Philadelphia negro who stopped Primo Camera twice. Because of Ettore's three victories over Haynes and a knockout over another hard hitting negro. Jersey Joe Walcott—coupled with Max Schmeling’s knockout of Louis —there are many people who be-

. lieve he will tug the brown bomb|er with his second defeat in 30 I professional bouts. Promoter Mike i Jacobs of New York, associated i with Herman Taylor of Philudeli phia In staging the brawl, has In- ! aured himself against such an ocIcurrance by signing Ettore to u i four year contract, in the event i that he wins. Jacobs has Louis 'under a threeyear contract. However, despite Ettore's freely lexpressd confidence, few boxing ' writers in Philadelphia und from •New York accord the hometown boy much chance. And the 4 1 odds ure proof that Ettore admirers are not backing their choice with money. There is little betting. Ettore never has been an impressive tighter during his five-year professional career. His record has none of the lustre associated with the tantornado's two years plus as a pro leather tosser. Although Al is the same age as shuffling Joe, 22 years, he is not a stunning puncher. He does not possess a pile-driving right like Schmeltng. In Ettore’s 44 bouts he has registered only about 15 kuyoes. and most of them were against virtually unknown scrappers. His main asset is a troublesome style and plenty of stamina. He comes in bobbing and weaving, hoping to evade blows until he is in close. Then he gets busy, hammering body and head with short hooks and uppercuts. He stays in close as long as he can. riding his opi ponent and tying his up. Ettore was stopped once by Charles Retzlaff. Most boxing writers and close followers of the game expect Ettore to be kayoed before the fifth round. Aside from Ettore's longer ring experience, all the other advantages are on the bomber's side. Joe expected to scale 202 pounds at toI day's noon weighing-in, against 192 for Ettore. Al is a squat bulldog of a man. while Louis is nearly six feet two. Also Joe has a four-inch advantage in reach. The bout will be broadcast* over | the NBC network. o STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

NEW YORK NEAR NATIONAL FLAG ; Giants Can Clinch Flag By Winning Twin Bill Today • New York, Sept. 22—<U.P> —Hill . Terry can lead his New York • Giants to the National league pen 1 liajit by winning today's double- ' header against the Philadelphia i Phillies. , Two more victories will win the , slug despite anything the St. faruis i Cardinals or the Chicago Cubs can | do. The best the Culm can possibly do is to tie for the championship and that would necessitate a clean sweep of their five remaining games while the Giants lost all of the eight games they have left. Only by winning all of their six games while the Giants are losing seven of the last eight can the Cardinals hope for the league title. The following table shows what the Giants will have to do to ■win the pennant. St. Louis New York Win Lose Win Lose 6 0 2 6 5 1 17 4 2 0 8 If the Carls lose as many as three, overtaking the Giants will be impossible. St. Louis remained in the running for the championship yesterday by squeezing out a 5 to 4 decision over the Cubs. Credit for the victory went to Jim Winford, who pitched eight innings. al though his relief man. Ed Heusser. got in so much hot water in the ninth that the muchly overworked Dizzy Dean liod to come to the rescue and retire the last two men. Billy Herman s wild throw past first base in the last inning allowed Leo Durocher to score from third with St. Louis' winning run to send Lon Warneke. who hail relieved Tex Carleton in the third, down to defeat. In the only other National league game. Brooklyn scored a 7 to 1 triumph over Boston behind the six-hit pitching of Freddie Frankhouse. Notable was the attendance of 250. which possibly established a record low. There were no games scheduled in the American deagtte. Yesterday’s hero: Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals, who saved yesterday’s game and kept St. Louis in the running for the pennant by retiring the last two men in the ninth while holding Cavarretta on third. — o — fAt the Training Camps | By United Press Icwa lowa City. la..
