TO SIGN TODAY FOR TITLE BOOT Braddock And Joe Louis To Sign For Fight June 22 Chicago. Feb. 19.—<U.R) Heavyweight champion James J. Braddock met bomber Joe Louis today to sign for a 15-rmtml title tight at Cotniskey park June 22 against the first negro challenger since Black Jack Johnson knocked out Jim Jeffries at Reno. Contracts were to be produced shortly after noon at a conference of the principals and chairman Joe Triner of thV Illinois athletic commission. despite protests of Madison Squar Garden. Braddock will ifnnoutice then whether he accepted a Hat guarantee of >500.000 made by the Sporting club of Illinois or agreed to take his chance on Half the net receipts. Louis will receive the challenger's cut of 17Vz per cent. It will be the champion's first title defense and first tight since he defeated Max Baer for the crown May 13. 1935. The garden, which has a contract for Braddock to defend his Title against Max Sehmeling of Germany in New York June 3, warned Triner, Gould and others high in the promotion that it would take legal steps to protect its interests if Braddock tries to

Jump his garden contract. Triner said lie "never at any | time had any thought of interior -. i ing with the Garden’s contract."| Gould said he was fully aware such a contract existed but lie refused to be clrecked in his determination to land tiie Louis match. "We fight here regardless of any-' tiling." Gould said. "We'll sign and take the consequences. "Everything is set as far as we're concerned. I wouldn't go to all this trouble if I didn't know what we’re doing. Tire Garden can't tell us what to do. “Big corporations break contracts every day. That's what lawyers are for and I’ll use them if I have to. to protect Braddock's best interests." Gould quickly withdrew his objections to Cotniskey park when the park hoard made its rental demand of 25 per cent of the gross i for use of Soldier Field. "Whose Soldier Field fighting anyway? That's more of a cut , than Louis will get." Gould laughed. Braddock appeared in excellent I condition — within six pounds of ■ the weight at which he went in ■■ against Baer. Despite his long 1 stretch without amajor tight, he ! looked better than he did after his ; first banqueting a year as heavy- ■ weight champion. The Bomber, however, was reported ill. A cold and sinus infection slowed him up during his Matie Brown tight Wednesday night, his handlers revealed, and they ordered a long rest. ,
