THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON LITTLE EXCITEMENT OVER HEAVYWEIGHT BATTLE MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1937 NO ARGUMENTS ; OVER REFEREE; CLAM PREVAILS Chicago, June 21 MV-The world's heavyweight championship fight between James J. Braddock and Bomber Joe Louis, set for Comlskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox, tomorrow night, moved toward Its climax with amazing calm today. There were no arguments about the selection of a referee, no last minute legal ' attempts to halt the contest, no ticket scandal and very ; little if any wagering on the out j come. I Yet the bout, scheduled for 15 ' rounds or less, will be assured of financial success, with Indications pointing to an attendance of 60,000 and gate receipts of from $700,000 to $750,000. Out of this will go perhaps $300,000 to Braddock, who only a few years ago was on federal relief, and possibly $100,000 to Louis, who only four years ago was a $5-a-day automobile factory worker. Various estimates placed the cash In the strong box of Mike Jacobs, co-promoter with Joe Foley, at be tween $550,000 and $650,000. Jacobs said 60 per cent of the total sales to date have been to out-of-town cus tomers and prospects of a last min ute rush seemed fair. All the ballyhoo about Louis be ing sluggish in his drills and the champion being too old to retain his title against the dynamite-laden fists of the 22-year-old negro have failed to stimulate betting. The bout Is liable to go down as one of the lightest wagering affairs in ring history, for fear of Louis' davastat lng punching power. Louis probably will enter the ring a favorite at odds tha tmay be 3 to 1, one of the few times a challenger ever has become a favorite over the heavyweight champion, and the only time a challenger went into the ring in a heavyweight bout at such long odds. JAPANESE TO MEET SCOTTY Tetsura Higaml, Japanese expon ent of Jiu Jltsu, and Scotty McDou gall will pit their skill and show manship against each other in the armory ring Tuesday night. McDou gall objects to be used as an experi mental subject for the Japanese va riety of wrestling and declares he will retaliate with every means at his command If Higaml goes too far. Two preliminaries complete the card for Tuesday night. One will bring together Sailor Moran and Tommy Russo, The latter will make his first appearance in the Salem ring. The preliminary of 30 minutes will feature Freddie Knlcols of Tex as and Will Bill Mendell.

June 22 Paper Mill vs. Legion. June 24 Legion vs. Lions. June 29 Independents vs. Paper Mill. July 1 Paper Mill vs. Lions. July 63 Independents va. Legion. Second half: July 7 Independents vs. Lions. July 11 Legion vs. Paper Mill. July 13 Lions vs. Legion. July 18 Paper Mill vs. Indepen dents. July 20 Lions vs. Paper Mill. July 25 Legion vs. Independents. At the opening same between the Lions and Independents played last Thursday, the Lions club won with an 11 to 10 score. Sport Slants By pap In spring practice games, the shadow of Bob Feller blotted out other pitchers of the Cleveland staff. But, once the curtain was up the season and a lame arm shunted the sensational youngster to the sidelines, the other hurlers took charge. Manager Steve O'Neill had expected little help from the veteran Willis Hudlin. Hudlin won only a single game In 1936 while being charged with five lottt.es. He was starting his 11th campaign In a Cleveland uni form. He did not promise much. The same Mr. Hudlin has been pacing American league hurlers with half a dozen straight wins. Apparently he is headed for his best season since ringing up 18 victories in 1927. Why the sudden reversal of form? There are several explanations. The most plausible is the return to form of Catcher Frankie Pytlak. Last year, after having been on the sidelines because of illness dur ing the greater part of the 1935 pennant race, Pytlak suffered a fractured Jaw and was forced out again after playing in one-third of the scheduled games. This season finds Pytlak fit. Frankie is a fine mechanical catcher, and a smart one. Ills handling of pitchers often has meant the difference be tween victory and defeat. He knows Hudlin and handles him to get every possible advantage. Pytlak's timely hitting has placed many games on the winning side of the ledger. He is hitting well over .300 and driving in his share of runs. As long as Frankie is able to carry on the Indians are likely to prove tough. RAIN CAUSES HALT BASEBALL PROGRAM Woodburn No ball games were played at Woodburn Sunday due to the wet weather, and no dates were set for the postponed games. Tiie Woodburn Townies were scheduled to play Bend here and the Legion Juniors were to have played the Silverton Juniors at Woodburn. A return game with Silverton Is sche duled for Wednesday at Silverton but unless the weather conditions change rapidly, It will be impossible to play. All games of the state league were washed out yesterday, as were the American Legion Junior contests.
