Lightweight Title On Block Tonight NEW ORLEANS (UP)—Here in the cradle of modern boxing, Joe Brown—a rangy, 30-year-old New Orleans Negro—tries to wrest the world lightweight crown tonight from Cincinnati's Wallace (Bud) Smith, who may be “washed up." Although Smith is a lack-lustre* champion and Brown an obscure challenger, the promoters hope for a gate that may approach or better the all-time Louisiana record of $60,318, established by John L, Sullivan and James L. Corbett in 1892 at the New Orleans Alympia Club. The fight will be televised and broadcast nationally over. NBC networks at 10 p.m. EDT. There’s a local TV blackout. Brown and Smith, both Negroes, are combination boxer - punchers. But Brown is favored at 7-5 because he outpointed Bud in a nontitle 10-rounder at Houston, Tex.. May 2, and because that defeat was one of three straight suffered this year by the champion. Meanwhile, challenger Joe boasts six straight victories. And he was impressive in training, whereas Smith appeared listless in his workouts. His excuse was, “the brown people got spies watchin’ me and I don’t want to show ’em nothin."
