CHAMP JOE HAS SCHEME FOR TONIGHT Is Not Worr_yfig Over His Match with Godoy- Adopts New Tactics By DILLON GRAHAM AP Sports’ Editor NEW YORK, June 20. — Arturo Godoy's crouching South American | sway puzzled Joe Louis last Febrn- |ary and the champion boxed five days a week at his training camp | to solve that puzzle, | Never before has Joe's pre- | flight conditioning program includ- | ed so much boxing. Generally he | has spent three, occasiohally four | days, in actual ring warfare. He | actually boxed 11 of the first 14 | days of drills at his new site. Joe’s punching wasn't sharp against Godoy and his uppercut, | particularly, wasn't working. He | figures he’ll need that uppercut against Godoy like a golfer needs a niblick when his ball plops into the sand. Their 15-round heavy- weight title battle is slated for tonight in Yankee Stadium. Despite his additional boxing it wasn't difficult to notice that he was being hit more often by spar- ring partners than he was a year or two ago. He wasn’'t hurt; the punches were just landed, punches t t rs! You Can Now Buy This Big 6 cu. ft. ‘GENERAL ELECTRIC AT THE AMAZING PRICE OF Including 8 Teurs Performance Protection 6.2 Cu. Ft.

Coming up, and even after| he was champion, Joe was plumb | fond of shuteye. He'd catch a few ' winks at every possible interval in| his drills. But he's changed. He sleeps soundly from 9 p.m. to 5| am. but he found things to oc-j cupy his sunlight hours. } had an idea that Joe, dis- turbed by the cat-calls of the crowd and miffed by his own in- | ability to do anything against Godoy in their last go, might have perhaps a little extra incentive this time. He might even have a mad on against Arturo, such as {he did against Schmeling in their second tussle, But Joe s Arturo S “I don’t blame him for fighting| | thataway,” Joe said. “I guess all |he wanted to do was to go the route with me. And he done it. | Heck, anybody can go the dis- tance if they runs and puts their {chin between their knees.” | | What if Godoy adopts the snme[ crouching tactics again? “I'll beat him again.” Knock him out? | “I think I'll knock him out if my uppercut is working. I was missing with it the last time, I | gotta straighten him up with that uppercut before I Kin really go| to work on him,"” Joe said. | Louis thinks that Godoy will take the offensive more in their return battle. # | “He stayed with me 15.rounds| and got this second bout he want-| ed,” Joe explains, “He ain't going} to get nothing out of staying with me all the way again. He knows hat. | “And so I figures he’ll straighten up some and take some chances and try to win the championship. Tha's just what I want him to do. I ain’'t afraid of his punch and so when he leads I'll nail him. “Maybe it won't last long if he‘ | really tries to fight me.” ‘ That seems to be the consensus. i i ol ‘Fisherman's \Dream May | Come True SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 20.— Many fishermen would scoff at| the thought of pulling a 1,000-] | pound fish out of the small fresh- water streams of the west, but of- ficial records show it has been| done and indicate it might be done again, The name of the monster is the !white stargeon.
