New York reports indicate that possible 12,000 will pop through ue lurnstues, wun gate receipts unlikely to loar much beyond $50,000. Out of his share for dust ing' the ex-champ, Farr will prob ably get. enough to enable him, to hang around until he gets some cracks at fellers like Tony Galen to, the gargantuan, beer guzzler, and Braddock will probably shake enough out of it to open another 'Jernt. Whichever, way the bout comes out it won't effect the heavyweight picture enough to take it off its trembling easel. The only thing that'll change that' is for the Detroit Bomber, Joe Louis, to enter the roped enclosure with Herr Maxie Schmeling as far as the fans are concerned, anyhoo. Tsk, Tsk, Whatta Wit. . Sports joke of the week : Dur ' Ing a ball session in the Bearcat R)in, previous to the Albany Willamette game Wednesday night, someone remarked about the extreme length of the bas ketball floor down at Harris burg. 'Wise .guy number one piped up with it must be the "supreme court," and wise guy number two (Johnny Oravec) chimed in with "ifd be an ideal place : for General Finance toi 4,1. .1 - a ,L. f - . . . uicjr vc gv me nine uiu . men - Northern Neighbors Tougher? - ; " Wonder if it is the Oregon State High School Athletic association's ruling barring ninth-termers from competition that Is giving Wash ington high schools the edge in all Inter-state basketball conflicts en tered into so far? The Vancouver Trappers, coached by - Marshall Shields, brother of Oregon's line coach Gene Shields, have twisted the . hemp around all eight Port land school's necks, Longview dumped Astoria as did Hoquiam, and the Vikings were vehemently vanquished by Hoquiam twice. Don't believe yon can put your fin ger on that rule as the reason tho', as Washington prep courtsters hare been superior for quite some time.

Tha - winner has been prom ise . a match -' with Max ... Baer. also an ex-titleholder. The even tual survivor . may be , sent against either Joe Louis or Mar Schmeling late in the summer. Braddock, making his first start since his gallant stand against Louis in Chicago last June is the sentimental favor ite, but the Welshman who made himself solid witn American fight fans by staying 15 rounds with Louis two months later, is the betting choice at 1 to 3. Promoter - Mike Jacobs says 15 000 fans will see the show and the gate will net $80,000. Demand for pasteboards is DrisK. Farr Is r avorue Louis will be at the ringside. He watched Braddock at Pomp ton Lakes and although he says old Jim looks in better trim than in the June fight, it Is not hard to see the Bomber believes Farr will win. Most experts predict the fight will go the limit with Farr the winner. A loss for Braddock may mean th end of his rinsr career. Jim says he . means to go . on fighting indefinitely, but Manager joe fionld insists he'll make bim hang" up the gloves if he's on the losing end ' Most Braddock backers think Jim's superior punching : power and the long left he used to win the title from Max Baer will tip the scales in his favor. Braddock demonstrated he still can sock. "He floored Louis with a rieht in the first round of their battle. .
