The Capita! Journal, Salem, Oregon Three Louis and Schmeling Confident on Eve of Title Bout Tuesday, June 21, 1938 . Q ... . Z' &-rH WON'T BE LONG now until Luke Appllnr. Chicago White Sox hard-hitting short stop. Is ready to sock the old ap ple again. At Comlsky park he's limbering up fractured right leg which put him out of the Sox lineup three months ago. Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor What does an umpire do on his day off? Does he sneak off Into the woods bv himself ana engage in little elf pity concerning his lot? Not so. At least there is one member of the hardy profession who doesn t He la Frisco Edwards of the Western International league. "Frisco" had an off 'day Sunday and came to Salem for a visit with Mrs. Edwards. But before the day was over Frisco had a front seat in the Albany park watching the Oaks and the Portland Babes engage In State league game. Wouldn't be a bit surprised that Edwards enjoyed whatever rib' bing the umps at the Albany game had to absorb during the afternoon Messrs Weisgerber and Elliott surely realize by this time that there la something to "working" a baseball game besides calling balls and strikes and making a decision on a close play at first now and then. A thorough know ledge of the rules Is certainly Important and it might not be a bad Idea to put the budding umpires through a course of In struction (If anybody can be found who knows more about it than they do, to act as Instruct ors). The play which drew last night's protest from the Eagles was obvious to spectators and players alike, Insofar as the act itself was concerned. Playing over half of the scheduled games might result In building up the bank account but such a pro cedure most assuredly would not be conducive to sweet tem pers. Might be a good Idea to let the protested games ride a bit and then have a "protest night" when every body would get everything off his chest. All games could be re-played and settled provided additional pro tests weTe not lodged with Mr. Ma ple and his associates; the fans could hurl their choicest compliments at the umpires and maybe a pop bottle or two. With the mill race close at hand It would be an easy matter to cool off any fan or player who be came too hot. Some plan could be worked out whereby a portion of the receipts could go toward estab lishing a fund for umpires who per haps would break down under the strain of trying to think. Well, the die Is east, the fat la In the fire or whatever you want to term it Hank McLemore, the porta prognostlcator who bears the reputation of never having picked anything light, comes right out and nominates Max Srhmellng to beat Joe Louis Wednesday night. Therefore we stlrk with our original guess (that's the right word) the ne gro to retain his heavyweight title. However, the situation Is rather complicated In view of the fact that 60 pereent of the "experts" are baking Louis. That large a number of guessers never has been on the right side and there Is the faint suspicion they haven't Improved In recent months. Then, too, McLemore can't go on forever calling them wrong; he's bound to hit It soon er or later. (The above mlrht be considered a neat bit of hedging). Dudley Lee finally got the sack Inability to get hits is the reason for the release of the Portland lnfielder who has been a popular player with the Beaver fans. But baseball is a business and if you can't produce Lees admirers wish him better luck with other connections.

Of the 21 Schmelinr votere, 11 pick Max to repeat hit knockout performance of two years afo. By Gayle Talbot New York. June 31 m Max Schmeling, bronied and ready after five weeks of hard training In the mountains, comes Into town today for the crucial fight of his long ca reer, tomorrow night's lS-round tus sle with heavyweight champion Joe Louis at the Yankee stadium. It will be a far different entry from that of two years ago when the Ger man schlager came In for his first bout with the wonder negro. The fight experts on that occasion thought they heard the tumbrils rolling through the streets, and the odds were 6-to-l and up that Schmeling was a goner. This time he comes as the proud, confident conqueror, certain that by midnight tomorrow he will be hailed to the four corners of the earth as the first man ever to regain the hea vyweight title. He knocked the young negro out in the 12th round of their first meeting, and he means to do It again before an expected throng of 75,000, and a (900.000 "house." Again the weight of expett opinion is against the 32-year old German, but only In a slight degree by com parison with the 1938 fight, when Max was almost alone in predicting his victory. Schmeling is making the five-hour trip from Speculator by automobile and train, arriving here at 10 to night. Louis, unless he changes his plans, will not motor In from Pompton Lakes until he goes to the commis sion office for the official weigh-In at noon tomorrow. He has done no active training since his final spar ring session last Sunday. For once, there are no reports that either fighter has Injured a hand in training, or Is in any way off his feed. Dr. William Walker of the box ing commission, has pronounced the pair In perfect condition, and he doubtless will renew his pledge at tomorrows ceremonies. Gamblers still are offering at tractive odds. That is, they will pay $9 against your 15 if you fancy Schmeling. If, however, you like Louis, then it becomes necessary to post $10 to win by a knockout, as a surprising number of experts do, HOW THEY STANA Nslional W New York as Cincinnati 3a Chlcaso 33 Pittsburgh M Boston 37 St. Louis , 34 Brooklyn 34 Philadelphia 15 American W Cleveland 33 New York 31 Boston ., 33 Washlnaton 30 Detroit 3S Philadelphia, 34 Chicago , 19 St. Louis IT Pet. .835 .577 .569 Salem Girls' Club Whips Silverton Salem girls' Softball team, as yet without a sponsor, trounced Silverton's lassies 24 to 3 on Mc Glnnis field, Silverton, In the open' ing game of the Willamette valley soitball league for girls.

PfUUY frsZS V1 Pheasants Come from Behind to Beat Hard Lack Lou Fette Loses' 13 Frame Battle (Br tht Associated Press) If you look far enough down in the National league pitching records, you'll find the name of Lou Fette of the Bos ton Bees, and figures to show he has won only one game and lost eight. Right beside the namew you can Imagine a big black Jinx. Lou was one of those oldsters who won 20 games for a second-division Boston club last year. This season he has been making up for that surprising showing by getting all the bad breaks. In the normal course of events. Fette would have had a victory yes terday instead of watching the Bees go down to a 13-lnnlng 3-1 defeat by Cincinnati, At the same time, the Reds would Sport Classic July 9 to 23 Silverton Attractive caras maae their appearance Monday In the business places of Silverton and are being displayed In numerous other valley towns, announcing the Ore gon state championship baseball seml-prw tournament as the sport classic of the season.

Phona 3118 have returned to third place In the standing. The Reds were officially moved ahead of Chicago's Cubs yesterday when league president Ford Frlck altered his original ruling on the protested game against St. Louis May 14. Instead of letting the game stand as a Cardinal victory until It is replayed In August, Frlck decided to call It a tie game for record pur poses and thus Cincinnati moved a few points ahead of Chicago In the percentages. The Reds remained there when Ival Goodman's triple off Johnny Lannlng, Fette's successor, broke up yesterday's game. The Cubs, mean time, were knocking off the Brook lyn Dodgers 6-1 behind Bill Lee's seven-hit flinging to keep pace. The only other game yesterday returned the New York Yankees to second In the American league by a three point margin over the Boston Red Sox as they conquered St. Louis 8-4 In the replay of Sunday's tie. Although Fette wasn't charged with yesterday's loss, the game was a fine sample of the sort of thing that has been happening to him. In the nine Innings Lou pitched, he gave only five hits and one walk, but that pass cost him the victory. Lonnie Frey drew It, took third on an error by Debs Garms and scored after Goodman's fly. Lipscomb and Becker Clash There has been quite an effort made In recent days to build up a real feud between George Beck er, one of the claimants of the many middleweight championships, and Jack Lipscomb, who will square away for tonight's main wrestling event at the armory. As a conse quence, the match may be expected to be as torrid as the prevailing weather. Lipscomb knows all of the tricks of a first class grappling showman, while Becker is just as proficient in the art of causing the fans' blood pressure to mount to the bursting point. The support card for tonight's entertainment Is considered top notch, with Gordon Schaeffer of Kentucky and George Wagner com ing together In the 45-mlnute spe cial event.

The game followed the clash be tween Paper Mill and Eagles, which was eventually thrown out on i protest after the mill men had ap parently won 3 to 1. The protest, based on the fact the umpires failed to call a dead ball when the pellet struck the third base coacher during the second half of the sev enth Inning, was allowed by league officials.
