Many Sharps See Braddock New Champ Loughran Having Trouble Making Weight; Title Scrap Thursday. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Lniled Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 16.—A few pounds of flesh seem likely to de- | termine the winner of Thursday night’s 15-round bout at Yankee stadium between Tommy Loughran, light heavyweight champion and James J. Braddock. Completing his heavy training at Hoosick Falls, N. Y„ today, Loughran faced the prospect of drying out Wednesday in order to get inside the divisional weight limit of 175 pounds by 2 p. m. the day of the fight.

Says He’ll Do It “It’s going to be hard, but I’ll do it,’’ Loughran told the United Press. I don’t think it will hurt me much and I’ll gain all my strength back before I enter the ring.” Around fistic circles today Loughran’.s difficulty in getting inside the weight limit was taken as an indication that anew champion will be crowned Thursday night. Over the fifteen-round route Loughran must have speed, stamina and strength to stave off a young, strong, hard-hitting opponent. Betting odds have taken a sudden drop within the past few days, coming down from 2'i to 1 on Loughran virtually to even money. Braddock may enter the ring the favorite. Training Grind Ends Both fighters completed training today with light workouts, Braddock confining his last workouts at White Sulphu ■ Springs to road work and Loir can in light exercises at Hoosick Falls. Braddock weighed 17112 after Wednesday's workout and plans to enter the ring weighing 173. In his last appearance in the ring '
