Arthur Donovan, a competent referee, has officiated at all of] Louis’ fights in the East. But a few weeks ago Mr. Donovan got the literary urge and sat down and wrote himself a piece for Liberty magazine. He gave a sort of preview of their fight, predicted that Louis would be able to hit Godoy and hinted, without actually saying so, that the Brown Bomber was going to win this one. Weill screamed bloody murder when he read that essay. contended the literary composition disqualified Donovan as referee, and he carried his case to Anaba Jara, Chilean consul general in New York, arguing that a diplomat’s duty in-

The nation’s fastest trotters and pacers, a total of 302 horses, are entered in the five-day meet for which a total purse of $40,000 is at stake. It is the first time the Grand Circuit has ever opened in this city. The McNamara automatic startef, an invention, of Leo C.

in comparison to the old tedious and monotonous scoring system. The Grand Circuit has adopted the new system and will use it in all Grand Circuit meets this season. All indications point to a big turnout of harness race fans during the rich program here. Following next Saturday’s opening races, the second day of the meeting is next Tuesday, when the $10,000 Champion Stallion Stake, second only to the Hambletonian classic in value and importance, will be staged. There are no races scheduled for next Sunday or Monday. Exact dates of the meet are June 22, 25, 26, 27 and 28.

KANSAS CITY, June 20.—If the Red Cross is looking for a worthy project other than the situation abroad, it might start a collection of runs for those refugees from baseball victories, the Indianapolis-Indians.
The Indians could use some relief—and well.

Lee Grissom was credited with the victory as the Montreal Royals slammed out 14 hits for a 9-6 victory over the Jersey City Giants in the first game a double-header.

Joe Will 1 Try His Hand at
Squat Tag
Auturo in Fine Shape for Running
By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 20.— There will be a game of squat tag played at Yankee Stadium tonight between Arturo Godoy and Joe Louis. Godoy will do the squatting
land Louis will attempt to do
the tagging. The second meeting between these two men is billed as a fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, but it stands little chance of developing into that. Godoy’s style -of fighting calls for a minimum of fighting. It calls mostly for squatting, bouncing, jumping, swaying, grimacing, clutching and almost any thing ‘else which will keep him so busy that he won't ever have time to stand straight up and exchange punches with the champion. Godoy Ready for Race
A fight expert with nothing better to do kept track of the miles that Godoy ran in his roadwork training for the fight and found that he covered 450 miles, or roughly the distance between Los,Angeles and Phoenix. This stress on cenditioning his legs indicates that Godoy is ready for the race of his life tonight. There is a report that Godoy has asked the Boxing Commission to ask the Racing Commission if he, Godoy, can use the electric starting gate in his corner, and also carry whip and spurs, so that he can get the best out of himself. The A. A. U. also plans to have an official timer at the ringside to clock Godoy on the chance that he may better the time of Glenn Cunningham and turn in the longawaited four-minute mile. There are a lot of us, in and out of condition, who might do even better than that if we had an angered Joe Louis chasing us.
Joe May Be Mad And Joe is likely to be angry tonight. He didn’t like the boos and hisses the crowd gave him after his first fight with Godoy, and feels that he was made a fool of by the
;|capering, crouching South Amer-
ican. In his training he worked chiefly with sparring partners who simulated Godoy’s croquet wicket stance. Toward the finish of his training Louis had developed a crouch of his own and was using body blows to straighten up his opponents so that he would have a chance at their jaws. If “Louis employs these tactics against Godoy, toinght’s fight should = afford a -novel spectacle, what with champion and challenger bent over the canvas like bloodhounds hot on the trail of a fugitive. And Joe undoubtedly will fight Godoy in Godoy's own style because he knows from 15 rounds of experience that the South American
‘won't fight his way.
Here’s Mac’s Opinion The consensus of opinion is that
Louis will retain his title, but only by a decision after 15 rounds. If
and would prefer a incompetent
of . opinion, highly personal and one, here is mine: Louis will knock out Godoy sometime between the eighth and 11th recunds. This prediction is based on the belief that no man, even if he be the most confusing stylist in the world, can go 30 rounds with Louis and not get hit squarely on the chin at least once. And that's all Joe needs to flatten Godoy. He didn’t get it in their first fight but I feel ‘he'll get it tonight. If he doesn’t, well, all of you come over to the house for a watermelon cutting Sunday afternoon and we'll}

It took the blond Californian only 24 minutes to eliminate Ruth Valentine, Syracuse University coed. She meets Bunny Harshaw, Ursinus College star, who downed Frances Ban croft, Wilmington, Del, 6-1, 6-3, in a mild upset. Eunice Dean of San Antonio, Tex., second-seeded, gained the quarter-finals by chopping and slice ing to victory over Mrs. Catherine Sample, Miami, Fla., school teacher, 6-4, 6-3.

Tennant on Tennis
The second of 10 tennis articles.
By ELEANOR TENNANT Coach of Alice Marble Footwork in tennis is all-impore tant. Beginners should give it much attention. The necessity for quick starting and stopping, of changing direction without taking the eye off the ball, is a great one. - Skipping rope is a great conditioner and aid to footwork. Skip E forward, lightly, toward the net, keeping your eyes off your feet. Skip backward in the same manner, Wear inner and outer socks to prevent blisters.
Never wear @ the same pair more than once without it being laundered. If possible, have two pairs of shoes which you can use alternately, while one pair dries out. Your game can be only as good as your feet. Drink very little water while play ing. It slows you down. . Suck on a lemon. In tournament play, eat three to five .cubes of sugar an hour before a match.
