Small Towns Pay Better,
Says Matthews' Manager
SEATTLE UP) There's not
enough lettuce in the garden ex
cent for the promoter and a
fighter can harvest more of the
long green stuff in tne ninier
lands. Prestige? Yes. Money?
Nope.
That is the observation of Jack
Hurley, the scholarly locking grey
haired fight manager of Seattle's
Harry "Kid" Matthews.
The manager can jheave some
money too. especially if he holds
a 50-50 contract with his scrapper,
such as Hurley has with Matthews.
Hurley told a gathering of the
sportscasters that he's sown $20.
000 in revamping Matthews
his kind of fighter, and he hasn t
started to get it back yet, what
with the rise in expenses.
He says there are two ways to
reap the returns: a title scrap
with the International Boxing club
controlled lightheavy or heavy
weight champions, or bouts against
the best available at such cities as
Boise, Portland, Seattle and Salt
Lake City?)

TV Brings Big Receipts
Hurley criticized the I. B.
C.'s
television setup in Madison Square
uarden, contending the promoters
base the purses lor fighters on the
attendance, then ladle off most of
the gravy from TV sponsors.
He said Matthews only got
around 17,000 for his sensational
victory over Irish Bob Murphy in
the (flrden a few months ago, but
thar-fat offers are flowing in from
various western points eager to
aeetlie ex-Idaho Adonis,
'Mia of towns want to see us,"
Hurley said, "but the problem is
finding opponents."
The Kid is slated to battle the
veteran Lloyd Marshall in a 10
rnunder here next i'riday night.
Marshall is the only fighter other
than new heavyweight titlist Jer
sey Joe Walcott to kayo Knard
Charles. He belted him out in
1943.
Hurley says he's confident Mat

Walcott, too, but "it all depends on

The two Pacific Coast leaie

gathering of 14,028 partisans last
night ,a season record at Sick's
Seattle stadium. The weekend day
games figure to draw even more.
This time, the Seattle faithful
watched their beloved Hainiers
succumb by 5-3 to the second place
Hollywoods, who moved to within
three games of first place. The vil
lain of the piece was outfielder
Dino Restelli. who decided the is
sue with a two-run homer in the
eighth inning.
Action late in the game broke
up a scoreless pitching duel which
lasted through six innings. Pinky
Woods was the winner and Paul
Calvert, the victim of Hollywood's
uprising in the eighth, was charged
with the loss.
It was the feature exercise in
an evening which also produced a

Umpqua Chiefs
Meet Medford
Sunday At Finlay
The Umpqua Chiefs Sunday will
tangle with first place Medford in .
the Southwestern Oregon league
and it's going to be an uphill strug
gle for the fifth-place Chieis.
Medford has beaten Roseburg
twice this year by identical
scores, 3-2. The first defeat came
in a practice game at Medford May
20, a week before the season
opened. The Medford group
came up to Finlay field the next
Sunday for the opening game of the
league season and again edged out
the Chiefs by a 3-2 score.
Chiefs' manager, W. 0. Kelsay,
says he'a not sure whether he'll
start Bus Sporer or Jerry Cade in
The Medford game. Sunday Norv
Ritchey will be behind the plate.
George Sanders, who has not
seen action since a foot injury,
possibly may take the short stop
position Sunday, Kelsay said, but if
he doesn't, Les Winders will be
there.
While Roseburg journeys to Med
ford Sunday, Reedsport will take
on Bandon, Coquille will play
Brookings, and North Bend will
