PA'GE FOUTt MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1934. Carnera-Loughran Title Bout Postponed to Thursday Account Rain ' PROMOTERS FACE FINANCIAL IN Loughran Notified of De cision to Delay Battle As Preparation Made for Weighing In With Primo MIAMI, Fit, Feb. 38. (AP) Rain today forced a postponement until tomorrow night of the world's heavy weight title fight between Prlmo Camera, the champion, and Challen ger Tommy Loughran, which had been scheduled for the Madison Square Garden outdoor arena here tonight. Decision to delay the fight another day was made by garden officials as rain, which has fallen here Intermit' Untly during the past two days, con- tlnued to drench the countryside this morning. Loughran, who has completed his training for the 15-round title bout at headquarters in West Palm Beach, was notified of the postponement Just as he was preparing to come here to weigh In with the giant man- mountain champion. As a result of Vie postponement, the fighters will not weigh In until 1:80 p. m. tomorrow. The 368-pound Italian giant ruled a 8-to-l favorite ? to bttat the 189 pound American challenger and It was even money he would win by a knockout. Doomed to financial failure from the outset by a combination of cir cumstances, the fight has been hit hard by several days of unruly weather. Officials of Madison Square Garden of new York, promoting the flgit, declared today most of the 3000 ring. aide seats at 20 each had been sold or reserved. Even so, It was un likely the net gate receipts would go far beyond the $00,000 mark. The attendance, cash and on the euff, may not pass 36,000. KMED Broadcast Schedule tnW YORK. Feb. 28.

ROLL-OFF - GAME ON ELKS ALLEY Eugene Orr's team of veteran Elk club bowlers walked off with the lodge tourney honors last evening by taking the first two games In their play-off with the team captained by Fred Erlckson. The Erlckson and Orr outfits had finished the tourney last week In a dead heat for first place. A large and enthusiastic gallery, lead by Jerry Jerome, probably the largest to witness a bowling match In Medford In years, gave both teams a touch of stage fright at the out set, but the Orr aquad settled down tc their work first, and soon piled up a commanding lead In the open ing game, the final score reading 033 to 824. Eads and Brayton did the heavy firing for tho Orrs In the opener. The competition grew warmer as the second game reached the middle frames and the Erlcksons drew out In front when their opponents ran Into a bunch of "splits." The leader ship was nhort lived, however, as the veterans, Kelly and Eads, came to the fore with a burst of strikes, which again brought on an attack of "Jit ters" In the Erlckson ranks. The score read Orr's 911, Erlckson's 903, as tho last ball was heaved down the nllcy and the nine-pin margin was sufficient to clinch the match, the third game not being rolled. Chairman Roy Pruitt of the Elks' club bowling committee, la planning a short doubles and singles tourney to start next week.
