Biaddock, who scaled 198 after a woikout yesterday, In which he belted his sparmates mercilessly, indicated he would spend trie dav quietly, even foregoing golf- huls expected to take a motion picture at Kenosha, Wus. Braddock will box six rounds tomorrow and four or five Sunday In his training windup. Louis also will go through drills on both those days before packing to await his shot at the championship, On the promotional end, practically all anangements have been completed.

The 22-foot ring in which Louis lost to Max Sclmiel-mg in New Yoik, has been set up directly over second base on the White Sox plavlng field in Cotnls-key Paik. Workmen have well under wav their job of building the 25.000 elevated ringside seats. Mike Jacobs, associated with Joe Foley in promoting the contest, said about $700,000 was "in the bank In advance ticket sales and that he still was confident the fight will sell out all 80,000 seats, He said the ringside sale lias been particularly heavy and looks for a big Chicago sale tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Most observers, however, believe the fight will draw between 60.000 and 70.000 fans, with a gate of not more than $800,000. Five automobile trailers, each with six ticket windows, will be stationed beyond police lines outside Comiskey Park, To pi event congestion at the gates, none of the regulur White Sox box offices will be opened, and the mobile box offices will move with the police lines and the potential cash ticket seekers.

A sixth trailer will just drift around with an extra ticket supply and change. ODDS FAVOR LOUS At the Grand Beach (Mich.) camp, Braddock remained calmly confident he will win, remniking that "if he knocks me down I'll get up. Louis looked impiessive in his Thursday dull, showing ft better defense for right hand punches the kind Biaddock holies to win with than at any time since he started boxing. The betting odds remained at 3 to 1 on Louis. Braddock planned to come to Chicago Monday afternoon.

Louis has not yet disclosed when he will make the 65-mlle trip from lus training headquarters. The weighing in ceremonies will be held Tuesday noon at a downtown hotel.

Sutherland paid high tribute to Dr. Moore last night, emphasizing the fact that Bud had been not only a good conditioner of men but had aided very materially In building up morale. Said Jock: After 13 years with Bud at my berk and call, nine of them at Pitt, it is going to be extremely difficult to get along without him.
