HINKS LOUIS HAS LOST INTEREST IN FIGHT

NRE MUNICIPAL STADIUM, KENOSHA, W1S., LAKEFRONT.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 11..—The fight news of the day is that it will be all right with the law if} Jim Braddock and Joe Louis want to smack each other around indignantly in Chicago later in the month—as apparently they do. At least there

in his current | The Dark Angel is hooking |

Louis still appears to be a onetrack fighter, and I'm afraid that

otherwise is easily derailed. His left has to land if he is to ‘remain in stride, and, quite naturally, this weapon is the forerunner of his best shot. “When it is suc{cessfully parked, the Negro clouter follows with a right, and then fires ‘his payoff left. | Louis, who is only 23, still is a dandy at concerted fire, and it is ithat introductory left from which Braddock must get away.

none too good, broke up the Negro boxer’s attack by ‘keeping on the move, bending to his right, and slipoing punches. . Louis saw Braddock win the title in his slovenly engagement with Max Baer, and has utter contempt for the Irishman as a warrior. That is bad. + He felt the | same way about Schmeling. Although Louis is eight years vounger than Braddock, not a few trained observers suspect that Jersey Jim's chances will increase as the 15-round battle progresses. This hardly is complimentary to the Detroit lad’s durability and

Madison Square Garden had filed a complaining - petition, arguing a prior contract for Braddéck’s .services. This second hunk of fragrant jurisprudence definitely clears the way for the fight which is scheduled for June 22. There can be no other legal barriers. But it should be remembered this applies only to the actual fight itself—the physical clash between Braddock and Louis. Some of the other details—such as the disposition of the gate receipts —may be subjected to very violent

It would be silly to assume the Garden officials went through the elaborate pantomime of promoting a heavyweight championship fight (whieh they knew would never take place), even to the point of printing tickets and three-sheeting the town, on the thin hope that the Philadelphia jurists would find the lower court in error, They had something else. in mind. And that something else was punitive damages. As these lines are written the. full details of the latest decision are not available but the Garden attorneys are undoubtedly prepared to move—and their next move will be in the direction of the dough. Mr. Mike Jacobs and his associates have proved their legal right to the fight. It may now be necessary for them to prove their legal right to the dough.

The golf news of the day is that the combined terrors of Oakland Hills and the nerve pressure that almost invariably gives a player the clammy’ shakes when he steps to the tee in a National Open Championship/ for the first time didn’t mean a | thing to swinging. Sammy Snead, the hill-billy who came rolling down them West Virginia mountains, yelling “Fore, Pappy.” He turned in a rather modest 69, which on closer inspection was found to be three strokes better than par for what the boys claim to be the toughest championship course the tournament has been played on in any years. . A 69 is right good shooting for a country boy playing his first round in his first Open championship and it just goes to confirm what fellows like Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour and Henry Picard said to me in Toledo last week—"Snead’s got the shots to win, and he’s as good a bet as any player in the field.” It’s always a thrill to see these spectacular youngsters come up but it is well to keep in mind the Qpen championship isn’t won in the first round, or the second, either. The big push comes on the last day, over the last 18. .That’s where the

nerve pressure is toughest, where

the front runners blow, where even old timers have been known to falter in the stretch. Maybe Swinging Sammy can make it. But the odds are against him. Too much ballyhoo. He would have to be even greater than everybody says to beat the course, the nerve strain and crowd if he should happen to be out in front playing the final holes. | Francis Ouimet is the only youngster I can recall offhand who won the Open in his first trial, but aside from his fellow caddies few people knew he was in the fournament until the scoreboard showed he had by some miracle tied Vardon and Ray.

Joe Reveals That the Garden May Bring Suit for Punitive Damages

Some of the amateurs may be wondering today just what makes the professionals consider Oakland Hills a terrifying course. Johnny Goodman had a pleasant 70. So did Bill Holt, the young trailer-camper from Syracuse. And ditto Frank Strafaci of Brooklyn—probably the most improved amateur in the

good showing for the simon-pures on any kind of course. Meanwhile, hardened campaigners like Manero, Sarazen, Runyan, Little and Revolta were scrambling for their scores. No amateur has won the open since 1933. That was the year Goodman came up from nowhere lor the vicinity thereof and tossed a bitter surprise party for the salaried boys. They say it's a good thing to have an amateur win the Open every once in a while.

Tazio Nuvolari Entered at

Roosevelt Raceway Again

Times Spécial

NEW YORK, June 11.—The “Mad Man of Modena” is coming back to thrill America at the wheel of his big, red racing monster. With him is coming the tight-lipped sportsman known the world over to daredlevils of the roaring road as “The Count.” ’ The “Mad Man of Modena” is Tazio Nuvolari, Italy's little man of

iron who “has a contract with thee devil.” He won the big silver George Vanderbilt Cup against the greatest drivers -of three continents in the inaugural 300-mile Rooseyelt Raceway speed carnival last October. He will defend that trophy -over the newly designed and faster Roosevelt course in Westbury on July 3 in the second annual George Vanderbilt classic.

“The Count” is Count Carlo Trossi, head of one of Italy’s most famous houses and greatest of Italy’s gentleman race drivers. Pressed into

last-minute service as relief driver for Fred McEvoy of Australia last October, Count Trossi turned in one of the most brilliant performances of the day. The official entries of the Italian speed kings, both of whom will drive Alfa Romeo cars, ‘were announced today by Roosevelt Race-! way officials. They will comprise the Italian representation in this international congress of speed that 1s expected to average close to 100 miles an hour for 300 miles on the reconstructed course. With slow turns eliminated, straightaways almost doubled in length and one major turn steeply banked to make possible a speed of 170 miles an hour on the main straightaway, the racing royalty of the nations will have a chance to go. all out on July 3. ' Nuvolari has survived spectacular crashes on the roaring road. No hospital can hold him for more than a few days. He was injured two months ago in a trial at Turin, Italy, when his car turned over going 120 miles an hour. Cable dispatches called his condition serious. But he was out of the hospital in a few days. Three weeks ago, Nuvo-

lari drove in the Tripoli Grand Prix
