PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1935. SPORTS. A—18 Braddock Eager to Take on Louis in First Defense of Heavyweight Crown SEES JOF SAFELY | Remember Him? PAST SCHMELING Champ Will Make $200.000 Within Year Without Pulling on Glove. BY EDDIE BRIETZ, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, July 1.—If James J. Braddock has his way, Joe Louis, new Negro sensa- tion, will get the first whack at his newly-won world heavyweight title. Braddock belleves a fight with Louis next Summer would draw the nearest approach to a million-dollar gate since the lush days of Tex Rickard and Jack Dempsey. Joe Gould, the new champ's busy little manager, added: ‘“Million- dollar gates are vgm Braddock & Co, Ltd., are interésted in.” Gould and Braddock figure Louis will knock Max Schmeling out of the picture in September and then repeat the performance in October on the blushing bridegroom Max Baer. thus clearing the decks for a “natural” be- | tween Louis and Braddock next Sum- mer. Make Lots of Hay. RIGHT now Braddock and Gould are going through the delightful ex- perience of raking in profits from all | directions. “We will make $200,000 in the next 12 months without pulling on a glove.” said Gould. “So why fight? Anyway. heavyweight fights this year and may get two more. That's enough.” Braddock is rehearsing a vaudeville skit in which he will be co-starred with his wife. He is sought for ex- hibitions, pald thousands for indorse- ments and there is talk of a Holly- wood engagement. The other day when Gould non- chalantly demanded—and got— $10,- 000 for lending Braddock's name to & product, the champ, with his ever present sense of humor, said: “That's & laugh. Why a year ago 1f we had walked up Broadway with placards on our backs we'd have been lucky to get $3.” Will Keep Champ Busy. (GOULD doesn't intend to let the long lay-off keep Braddock out of con- dition. He will make the champ do plenty of fighting, but it will be in gymnasiums “In another month or so I will make him do roadwork fer a few | weeks and then send him into the ring with a half dozen of the biggest, toughest, sparring partners I can find. Il make him step 15 rounds, with fresh boxers going in their every few rounds.” WINWARI‘VJ‘VI NET TITLE. WEST POINT, N. Y., July 1 - Lieut. Robinson, Bolling Field Lieut. O'Connell.

JDOWN st Ocean City the blues are cutting up again after recent heavy winds. These fish ar being caught in large numbers, weighing eight and nine pounds. A number of large sea trout also are being caught on the “wrecks.” Capt. L. L. Midgett at Wanchese, N. C. (Oregon Inlet) writes that no blues were caught last Sunday at the Inlet. “I don't think there is any need of reporting to you any more at this time as the fish are very zcarce. When the fish start biting again I will send you word.” We predicted this report last week. A. H. G. Mears at Wachapreague, Va., says the weather is favorable for fishing and many sea trout are being landed, running from 25 to 150 per boat; that kings are starting to bite, and that channel bass are being caught on n the ocean. ‘W.
