THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SAI.KM. OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1929 GERMAN AND BASQUE READY FOR THEIR STRUGGLE PAGE EIGHT SUING PUT ON SHORT END OF WAGERING New York Ph-Paulino Uzcudun ftnd Max Schmeling, rivals In the reason's most important heavy weight joust, have come to the end of their long training grind and are waiting patiently for the bell that will send them forth on the first round of their 15-round battle at the Yankee stadium Thursday night. With the fight still three days away, sponsors of the annual milk fund charity boxing show have an nounced that receipts already have passed the $300,000 mark. Some what optimistical forecasts of a "gate" of $600,000 have been made. Both the "German Dempsey'' and his Spanish woodchopping rival have reached top form and will take It easy for the next few days at their training camps in Lake- wood, N. J., and Hooiick Falls, N Y. Despite Schmeling's fine record in this country, the betting gentry per sists In placing him on the short end of the betting odds of 6 to 5. They figure that however hard the Teuton can hit he does not figure to stop the rushes of a Paulino who has sampled the hitting capabilities of the best heavyweights In the business without so much as a single 'ice. Proponents of the Spaniard flg- ure he will be outpointed for the first few rounds but that he wilt begin to slow the German down and come on to win either the decision or by a knockout, possibly within eight or nine rounds.

All "gats" must be checked at the gate. In spite of the fact that It's the off season for trapshooters, several good scores were made at the local grounds Sunday. Dr. C. A. Eldrledge broke 50 straight, while Clarence Bowne knocked down 48 out of 50. Jim Patterson broke 46 out of 50. George Palmer broke 24 out of 25, while Carl Bah ling got 20 and Ro meo Gouley 23. Eldrledge broke 24 out of 25 In the handicap. Some of the younger generation of bowlers are going to make their dads take to the spectators' bench some of these evenings. Young Bill Hemenway made an average of 105 In five games not long ago at the Winter Garden. His high score was 236. Fishermen are beginning to spring their annual tales. However, Lowell White brought the goods back with him. As nice a bunch of cutthroat trout as has been seen here in many days was on exhibition Mondy at Ken Brown's place. They were caught with bait as It seemed too early for fly fishing. Welts on White's arms prove that its not too early for mosquitoes. Warden Ben daggctt hoofed it Into Elk lake Sunday. Ten fisher men were in there trying their luck. Not many fish were caught. Several large banks of snow surround the lake. "Naw, I lost $1.50 worth of tackle the first five minutes out, got dis gusted and quit,' was the reply H. S. Carter made when asked if the theory about catching salmon be tween extremes In tides worked. Carter reports a nice trip down the Alsea anyway.
