Louis Disputes Over Gloves To Be Used Friday New York.

The dispute was between Louis and Sol Strauss, acting director of the 20th Century Cub, which is promoting the $230,000 brawl. Strauss insists that the champion use gloves manufactured by the Ben Lee company; but Louis in- . sists that he wear mitts made by the Everlast company, with whom he signed a contract, more than a year ago. According to Strauss, the controversy will be tossed into the lap of Col. Edward P. F. Eagan, chairman of the New York boxing commission. Strauss appeared confident today that Eagan would order Louis to wear the gloves already provided by Ben Lee. Strauss explained, “section two of the commission's rules specifically provides that boxers in main and semi-final events shall wear gloves furnished by the club management.’’ Marshall Miles, Louis’ manager, explained the champion’s side of the squabble today at Pompton .Lakes. N. J„ where the bomber Joe loafed after completing the training grind yesterday. Miles said, “it's not so much a matter of Joe’s contract with Everlast as it is his preference for the special gloves Everlast has made

He’s already tried on the Ben Lee gloves and they don't fit his thumbs.” At Grenloch, N J., Joe Webster Walcott’s manager — declared, “Louis will wear the same kind of that Walcott uses. We’ll I see to that.” ’ Several New York bookmakers were offering as high as 10 to 1 that Louis would beat Walcott, j They also offered even money that the 33-year-old challenger doesn’t answer the bell for the fifth round, 4 to 1 that he doesn’t last the full 15 heats, and 1 to 8 that he gets belted out in the first round. —— o
