Cerdan Tapers Off In Trolling

(By Charles C. Cain)

DETROIT, June IZ-(APP-Con- fident Marcel Cerdan tapered oft training today for defence of his \vorld's middleweight title against Jake La Motta in Briggs Stadium Wednesday night.

Indications were that a crowd of about 30,000 would pay a. gross gate of about $300,000 to see Cerdan's first defence of the crown he won from Tony Zale on a 12th round knockout last Sept. 21.

La Motta followers figured that the 15-round distance on a hot night would be a help to Jake who is six years younger than the 32- year-old French champion.

Under a. ruling by the Interna- tional Boxing Club, parent of the Olympia Stadium Corporation-the official promoters of the fight- there will be no radio, television, newsreel or movies of the fight.

La Motta and Cerdan fight in pretty much the same style, as each likes to stay in close and bang away with both hands. Neither claims to he much of n. boxer and it looms as strictly a punchers' night.

La Motta-lf he wins—has pledg- ed to leave his entire purse as n guarantee that Cerdan will get. the first crack at the title in a return match.

With little or no local bouts be- ing promoted here in recent months, it seems like more and more Charlottetown pugilists are becoming interested in Maritime competition, and what is more, Mainland promoters appear to be just as interested ln matching (hem in Maritime boxing circles.
