Picks Braddock, Quoting ‘Stars’

By United Press

DETROIT, June 22.—An astrologist who predicted within one round the knockout victory of Max Schmeling over Joe Louis last June today said the stars teld him Jimmy Braddock would retain his heavyweight title tonight. The prediction came from the Rev. James O. Crews, pastor of the Temple of Light. “The stars say tonight's fight will be a most uninteresting spectacle for the fams,” he asserted. | “Louis will be so badly hurt at the conclusion of the bout that he will require attention of a physician. The charts of the two men do not reveal an actual knockout but Braddock will retain his title through a technical knockout because Louis’ handlers will toss in the towel.”

CHICAGO COOL TO BIG | Odds and Endings . . .... .. .

High Prices Are Cited as Likely Cause

Gate May Reach $750,000, However, Due to ‘Out-

side’ Interest.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer CHICAGO, June 22.—So far as the fighters themselves are concerned all the speculative phases of the . heavyweight championship which is to be held at the baseball home of the White Sox tonight have, at long last, come to an end. Either Jim Braddock, the Madison Square Garden fugitive, defends his title successfully against Joe Louis, the young Negro challenger, or he doesn’t. The question is strictly up to them now. The weary experts have completed their assignhment of confusing the issue, the readers and themselves in the order named. But there still remain other speculative phases. One, concerns the financial result. This would be a matter of interest primarily to the

promoter, who happens to be Mr.|:

Michael Jacobs, the old Broadway tomahawk man—known more formally as a ticket scalper. But for some reason it has developed into a matter of public curiosity. Handicaps Are Cited Is the fight a box-office flop or isn’t it? A week ago Mr. Jacobs told your large-eared correspondent he had more than $600,000 cash in the till, not including extra premiums from radio and movies. At the time the gentleman talked lyrically about a million-dollar gate. Today he bitterly confessed he would settle for $750,000 tops. If the fight winds up drawing this much I wouldn't call it a flop. Viewed from any angle it isn’t a particularly strong attraction. There isn’t much color to Braddock and he has been an inactive champion. Louis’ more recent performances have suggested he is something less than a ball of fire. On top of this there are many persons who feel Braddock should be meeting Max Schmeling instead of Louis. Schmeling knocks out Louis. What will the fight prove if Louis happens to beat Braddock? The answer is approximately nothing. A singular thing about the fight is that the natives have persisted in remaining dismally uninterested. Most of the money in the box office is from out-of-town speculators. The gentleman who handles the reservations told me two days ago less than 3 per cent of the total sale has come from Chicagoans. This means that if Mr. Jacobs had relied solely upon Chicago for support he would now be holding one of the largest turkeys that ever came to roost in a fight arena. Normally this is a very good fight town, but for some reason it has decided to give Braddock and Louis the back of its neck. Some say the scale of prices is too high. Others that it is an enduring hangover from the Tunney-Dempsey fight of 10 years ago—when the customers paid $40 for ringside seats and found themseves a mile from the ceuter of action. Still others that it is action against outside promotio interests. Spinach, Says Chicago It could very easily be a combination of the three. I wouldn't know. All I know is that Chicago says it’s spinach and the hell with it. Mr. Jacobs is hopeful of a last-minute rush on the part of the natives. He helped Tex Rickard promote the aforementioned Tunney-Dempsey fight. . . . “And on the ay of the fight we did $400,000 worth of business,” he optimistically recalled. Braddock is to get 50 per cent of the gate. Since this will be the first money of any importance he has made as a champion the sentimentalists are rooting for a capacity turnout. This brings us to another Speculative. Will Madison Square Garden attempt to attach his money after the fight tonight? To meet Louis, Braddock broke a contract with the Garden. Braddock originally signed to mest Schmeling June 3. Mr. Jacobs persuaded him to come out here to meet Louis instead. The Garden already has been beaten twice in the Federal Courts ig to make its contract stand The next step is to sue the fighter for damages, and there is no law against instigating such a suit. The Braddock forces anticipate legal action of some sort, and I am informed there won't be very much loose money lying around for the Garden to attach, if and when - . : I am told Braddock has been collecting his stipulated share of the swag from the box office every day he’s been here. If this is true, and I have every reason to believe it is, there won’t be peanuts in the register if the law decides to ove in.

Joe's Earnings Top $750,000

. Although he has been fighting only three years as'a professional Joe Louis has earned more than three-quarters of a million dollars. In his first year his earnings were only a little more than $4000 but he was soon in the big money, his fight with Baer alone netting him $240,000. Following is a complete list of the sums the Bomber has received: *

By United Press CHICAGO, June 22.—Prefight statements of the principals in tonight's heavyweight championship bout: a Champion Jim Braddock—*“I'll win this fight any way I can. It may he a knockout and a great battle, or a slow fight going to a decision. But you can be sure that I'll still have my title when I leave that ring.” Joe Louis—“I’'ll win this one and the title just as quick as I can. I won’t name the round, but it won't be long.” Joe Gould, manager of Braddock —“Jim is in perfect shape. He'll beat Louis, maybe knock him out.” Julian Black, the challenger’s comanager—“Joe Louis is the hardest puncher I've ever seen. He can’t miss knocking out Braddock.” John Roxborough, the other comanager— I'll be mighty surprised if Braddock is able to answer the bell for the sixth round.”
