Louis-Braddock Bout Might Prove
Dud Unless Build-Up Starts Soon
Principals Lack
Color Denipsey
Possessed
By MAURICE MERRY FIELD,
International Illustrated Neics
Feature Writer
CHICAGO It lr.ay be a bit early
for any prediction of the sort, bat
by all the present indications the
forthcoming mat h between Jimmie
Ilvaddoek and Joe Louis will be far
from another "battle of the cen
tury." One might almost be inclined to
suspect a "conspiracy of silence" on
the part of the promoters and pu!
licists connected with the bout, and
a determined effort on the part of
the principals to avoid any prelimi
nary build-up.
It is impossible to arouse the in
terest in a championship bout neces
sary to draw a huge pate unless
preparations are made Ions in ad
vance. Even in the famous Chicago
fight between Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunr.ey, when the "long count"
'occurred, Tex Rickard laid his ropes
k in advance and had public in
terest at fever pitch as a result of
his shrewd publicity campaign. Ami
that fight was "a natural."
Neither is Colorful Fighter
Neither Eraddock nor Louis are
the type to inspire the heated
loyalty of fight fans. And neither
is the colorful character that th3
Manassa mauler was when he bat
tered down all opposition.
Although the fight is only about
seven weeks hway, there has been
little news from the training camps.
Rraddock has posed for a few of the
traditional training shots such as
chopping wood and jogging along
the road, but Lcuis has remained
singularly under cover for the mcst
part.
One factor which has beclouded
the whole situation has been the
legal tangle which threatened io
cancel the bout. After fight fans

Square Garden would never tolerate

letting the bout go cn in Chicago,
a feeling of uncertainty spread as to
whether the afi'air was really on
the legit or merely a publicity gag.
Aside from all these factors there
is a belief held by many that the
Brown Bomber will put Braddook
to sleep in short order when the
two meet 0:1 June 22. They foresee
Jimmie crumpling under a murder
ous attack and look on the bout
merely as a sort of preliminary to
a return match between Louis and
Sclimcling.
Will Lcuis "Murder" Eraddock?
Some of the skeptics consider the
whole affair more as a "benefit" for
Rraddock than anything else. They
analyze the setup this way. Brad
dock never was a sensational fighter
and was rather lucky to take on
Raer when he did; that he and his
managers wisely concluded to make
the most oi the championship finan
cially and stake everything en one
bout which would draw the biggest
gate; that they were convinced that
Louis would draw better than
Schmtling against Braddock, so the
German was passed up and Louis
signed.
Re that as it may, Jimmie is a
game guy and should give tin cus
tomers everything he has.

HEAD THAT"
(aEAJS THE
C(oWAJ
JA-llES J. BRADDOCK, toiling
assiduously for his scheduled
heavyweight title defense
against Joe Louis, has plenty to
worry about these days.
The old saw about the head that
wears a crown having plenty of
headaches is cr.ly too true in the
case of Jaraes J. Inactive for two
years, Jeems hasn't made a plugged
nickel out of the title, and now he is
all snarled up in a Jot of le'jal en
tanglements. Bad hands and arthritis have
bothered the champ in past months,
and the fact that be is an old man
as fighters go only makes things
look worse fcr James as he prepares
for Louis. Joe's fc-riui reru:a.tioa
as a puncher is just something else
for Braddock to brood over these
Spring evenings.
If all these things don't make Jim
a nervous wreck, and if the various
lawyers don't stop the bout with a
barrage of injunctions, Braddock
may really defend his crown thi
Summer believe it or rot."
