The OREGON- STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning, June 18. 1932 PAGE SIX Nem Today ace o gion 9 he junior Stayton wmm HERE CRIPPLED FAMOUS BATTLERS MEET Scrdotz out; Prospect fo Home Victory Today is Not of Brightest i With ItH pitching staff crippled, the-Salem American Legion Jun ior baseball team will enter the final weekend of the county championship series fighting to make good its slim chance for the title hut with prospects still fur ther diminished. It was discovered this week that Nick Serdotz, who has torn ed in a workmanlike Job of hurl lng in his first start against Sll verton, was suffering from an ex cessively sore arm and might not be able to pitch at all this week end. That makes of today's game with Stayton, scheduled for 3 p. m. on Olinger field, a real threat Instead of the setup it was expected to be after Stayton had lost handily to all opponents to date. Paul Penny, youngest and least experienced of the local pitchers, will probably be Coach Harold Hauk's choice for the at tempt to stop Stayton. Serdotz may make an effort to pitch if Penny finds the going too rough. Probably Gatchell For Woodburn Game While Coach Hauk has not an nounced his plans, it is evident that he will have to save Francis Gatchell for the Woodburn game Sunday at Woodburn. Gatchell blanked the north end team for three innings last Sunday after pitching most of the game at Sil rerton the day before. ' If the Stayton management elects to start Don Champ, its only dependable m o u n d s m an, against Salem today instead of saving him for the Silverton game at home Sunday, the local team ean hardly be expected to do much in the way of providing its moondsman with a big margin of runs to work on. Champ stopped the local team with eight runs in the opening game of the series and allowed Woodburn ten last Sunday, but his support which was wobbly at first has been get ting better and the Stayton team is also gaining power on offense. Snoddy, a lad who catches sometimes and plays second base at others is one of Stayton's stars, Hankel, left fielder, is its heavy slugger with Morgan and Fitzger ald others who are dangerous. The game at Woodburn Sunday will be played at 3 p. m. also and the Salem team will leave Olin ger field at 1:15. Fans making the trip with room in their cars for a player or two, are asked to report at the field at that time and help out in the transporta tion. Today followers of the local team will be almost as much in terested in listening for reports of the Woodburn-SUverton game at Silverton, as in the game here, tor if Woodburn wins it will have the championship sewed up re gardless of the outcome of the Sunday contest. Customers .Get the Breaks In Big Title Fight; Large Block of Seats Priced Low A couple of gentlemen who hope to make history in the ring greeted each other thus when they met recently. Max Schmeling, heavyweight cham pion of the world, is shown giving the glad hand to Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, oft the occasion of the tatter's visit to the champion'! training quarters at Kingston, N. T. Schmeling is scheduled to defend his title against Jack Sharkey this month, while the Governor hopes to represent the Democratic Party in the Presidential ring. WOODBURN, June 17 The toughest spot in the entire sea ao schedule for Woodburn's Jun ior Legion baseball team is Sat urday and Sunday, when the boys meet their two strongest op ponents. Saturday the locals win play their second game with Sil verton, this time at Silverton, and the next day the outfit will be hosts to the Salem team in the Legion park here. Unless Wood burn is so unfortunate as to lose to both Salem and Silverton this weekend, these two games will be the last of the wries in Marion county. So far Woodburn leads the league with four victories and no defeats. . Saalfeld. the lanky first base man for Woodburn's Junior American Legion baseball team, Is leading his team mates in bat ting so far this season. Saalfeld. who hails from Mount Angel, has a batting average of .600. Records of the Junior players NEW YORK, June 17 (AP) The desperate efforts to get Max Schmeling's heavyweight title de fense against Jack Sharkey out of the financial "mechanical lung" where it is breathing faintly, took decided turn today in favor of the cash customers. Drastic reductions In whole sec tions of high-priced seats in Madi son Square Garden's new bowl on Long Island lfave increased to ap proximately 50,000 the number of tickets that are selling for De- tween $2 and $5. The cheaper priced seats have been moved into the higher scaled areas, leaving only 17,000 of the total capacity or 77,000 in the top brackets. On this new scale it is estimated a complete sell-out Tuesday night will gross only $500,000, with every indication no more than hall that amount will be lured from the pockets of the faithful. While hope of financial, success has about died, there seemed ev ery possibility the duel will be one f7 n i rm-rr 'H COMMENTS Robin Reed is holding oat for that half grand guarantee he stipulated as the price of risk ing his world welterweight title here against Henry Jones July 4. In a second telegram received by the. boxing and wrestling commission Friday, Reed held oar for that amount. He thinks the boat ought to take care of that guarantee easily, believing it would draw fans from all over the state.

Both war riors are in superb condition. Both are clouters and can take tremen dous punishment. Schmeling still feels keenly the fact that he won the title from Sharkey in four rounds while sit ting on the floor claiming a foul, the only heavyweight champion in history with that dubious dis tinction. The Boston sailor, with nothing but bitter memories at his own lack of control In a match he was winning easily, is further aroused by the fact he can gain little ex cept the title in victory. Whereas Schmeling will receive almost 50 per cent of the net receipts, Shar key will get only ten per cent. Furthermore fouls will not count this time because of an amendment to boxing commission rules in effect when Sharkey whal ed the German low two years ago. SEATTLE, June 17. )AP) The Portland Beavers found three Seattle pitchers for seven runs in j the first three innings tonight, and finally won their first game in four of the series by a 9 to 6 score. Both teams hit the ball hard. Bfore the largest crowd of the season, the visitors pushed two runs across in the first off Phil Page, Tribe left hander, and two more in the next inning, before Diek Freltas was called In. He hit one batter and walked the next and John Kllleen took up the bur den. Three singles and a walk gave the Beavers three more scores in the next inning. ' "Big Boy" Jim Peterson, Port land hurler, held the Tribe in check until the eighth when a promising rally was checked after the Indians put across three runs. The Beavers got 16 hits and the Tribe 15. R H E Portland t t 16 0 Seattle 15 1 Peterson, McDonald. Dietrich, Koupal and Fitipatrick; Page, Freltas, Kllleen and Cox. Angela Rally to Win .

June 17 The Innior American Legion baseball league team will play Woodburn here Saturday arternoon ai o'clock. This is expected to he hard fought battle with Wood burn leading for the present and Silverton and Salem tying for sec ond nlace. Sunday the Silverton team will go to1 Stayton to play a return rame there. Last Sunday Silver- ton defeated Stayton 19 to 3 at Silverton. Reed once more cited the risk of putting the belt up against a man of Jones ability, as well as the" expense of coming out here. especially in view of the fact taat he is getting plenty of work back in the middle west. Meanwhile Jones will wrebtle Bulldog Jackson here next Tuesday. Neither of them, has many friends here although wo don't know what the fans have against the strawberry king an less it's his success. When the two met In Portland in April, at least some of the fans must have been pulling for Jones, for one of them hung a haymaker on Jackson after he fell out of the ring, and then proceeded to Jam him against the edge of the arena. They each bad a fall at that time and one of Jones' arms was use less due to a hammerlock that bad given. Jackson the second fall. With the help of that "friendly" spectator Jones managed to get the final fall, as the Bulldog was woosy when he got back in the ring. It's said that while Jackson was being pnmmeled by the un known customer, Verne Har rington was busy counting him out instead of protecting him. Maybe that's where the bulldog started suspecting Harrington wasn't one of his dearest friends. , popeve-1 5TRONGUVJ NJViSE rWiNST YOUR' GOING TO SEE WOO FONG, r 7 1 ( I WES CARE OP OUXS I I I SUPPOSE X X s&j, 4 J 3 I A oiXritSo VfcKbWfSLLY YOU KNOW f I siHPCrSfe ; VfrWSO "31 DOT!
