BIG FIGHT

Now York, Juno 25.--- Twice postponed, the world heavyweight title fight be tween Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott appeared, de- finito for tonight, the weather forecast being favourable.

The Weather Burcau pre- dicted, fair weather for to- night, although it warned there might be scattered showers fate in the after-

noon.

The odds on Louis for the fight, which is to be held at the Yankee Stadium. have dropped to 9 to 5 be- cause of the belief of some backers that the two post- ponements would hurt him more than Walcott.

Neither boxer will be re- quired to weigh in again. Mr Thomas E. Dewoy, the Republican Presidential nominee, will attend the fight.-Router.
