To Meet Again in June

Joe Louis, here receiving a punch in the eye, is to meet Godoy, who is delivering the punch, in a return bout in June according to the latest announcement.

This picture was taken during their last bout in which the Bomber won a more than doubtful decision.

Meanwhile, news was received that Louis was training more vigorously at Greenwood Lake, N.Y. for his title defence bout against Johnny Paycheck in New York March 29 than he has at any time before his nine previous title clashes.
