New York, June 13.
A bombshell exploded with terrific impact this morning along Battle Alley, setting up the picture for charges, counter-charges, denials and verbal assault, when Al Weill, manager of Arturo Godoy, formally demanded that the New York State Athletic Commission refrain irom appointing Arthur Donovan as referee for the return battle between Joe Louis and the Chilean warrior.
Louis and Godoy are scheduled to meet in a 15-round return battle here on June 20.
Weill sounded several solid foundations to bac up his demands in behalf of Godoy, declaring that Don! van had already "voted in print against Godoy.
The fiery little boxing manager went on to state that Donovan has already "passed judgment" on the fight in an article published under his by-line recently in a nationally known magazine, Weill told newspapermen that he is taking this action because it seemed virtually certain Donovan would be chosen to officiate in view of the fact that the New York Irishman has referred all fourteen of the Brown Bombers New York fights as well as the battle with Eddie Simms in Cleveland further back in his career Deadly rious Indicating that he is in deadly seriousness about his demands, Weill also has requested the Chilean Consul-General in this city to intercede with the Commission in Godoy's behalf.
Both Godoy and Weill are particularly over the conclusion of Donovan' lo which states flatly n cut loose this time doy as he didn't cut loose Moreover, Donovan's that Louis can cut loose "and win," since it is extremely lil that the Brown Bomber will rati from the ring after the Godoy fight and will not need to worry about the danger of injuring his hands and ing his tremendous punching Ah through ti newspapermen, open and thoroughly biass tion for the champion and then concludes by saying Lov That's like a judge givin before a case even goes to trial."—United Press.
