(JP) Mike Jacobs, the man behind the Jim Bradock-Joe Louis heavyweight title fight a week from tonight at Com lslcey park, said today the bout "la a cinch" to draw a gate of $1,000,000. "The sale of tickets to Chicago people has been alow." aald the New York promoter, who Is acting a ad visor to Promoter Joe Foley, "and that's one reason why I'm aura the ticket sale will go to at least a million. "The day of the second Dempsey- Tunney fight here, $500,000 worth of tickets were sold. But .before that battle, which grossed S3.5000.000 from more than 100.000 people, there was a full two weeks In which tickets went so slowly that everyone was worried. "We haven't had nay such lull for this fight. In addition, 60 percent of the approximately 960,000 already In for reservation la for out-of-town people from cities In every .part of the country. And they have been buying the high-priced seats. The few days before the fight and the day of the fight we'll easily sell the cheaper seats." Louis was scheduled to box eight rounds at Kenosha, Wis., and Thurs day planned to go 15, the title fight distance. Bradock golfed yesterday.

I 4-3, are training their sights on tall Bob Hardy and hla Ashland team mates, who will Invade the local or chard next Sunday for the next to the last game of the first-half Southern Oregon league schedule. Rated as one of the strongest clubs In the circuit now, following their acquisition of Hardy and Cliff Mc Lean. University of Oregon battery, the fast-stepping Lit Mans will face a Medford team strengthened In every department. Duke Hankinsoh, who was previously reported out for the season with a badly sprained ankle, will probably be fit to see service, and Virgil Swanaon, flashy outfielder, will also be able to play. Russ Acheson, member of the high school coaching staff, played his first game last Sunday against Roseburg and cellected two hits in three trips. He will add needed batting power to the Crater club. George Harrington, Llnfleld college athlete and newly appointed junior high coach, is also expected to report for workouts this week. Harrington la a catcher or outfielder, and considered a good hitter. Manager Mike Balkovlck will send hla chargea through tough batting and fielding drills every day this week, with performances in practice decided on his pitching choice, al- Ashland. The manager la still un decided on his patching choice, al though It will be either Larry Pepper or Ray Erlckson. Last Sunday saw the six Southern Oregon league clubs display baseball that can't be beaten anywhere. Rose burg and Medford staged a 4-3 battle; Ashland and Olendale wound up 3-1, with the LI this ns on the long end; and Crescent City beat Grants Pass 3-1, to clinch at least a tie for the first-half pennant.' Wtlh two more The "battle of the villains" la now history, with Pete Belcastro, the Mad Italian from Weed, Calif., atandlng a'one aa the meanest and toughest ciltter to dish out a roul punch hereabouts in many years. Before over 3000 roaring mat buga. the largest crowd to see a program In tile Medford Armory In two years, Belcastro punched and pounded a game Joe Smollnakl Into submission last night, and proved once and for all hla right to the title of southern Oregon's bad man number 1 The embrogllo, a re-match from last week's blood and thunder affair, was billed for no tlme-llmlt and with no referee in the ring. There waa no referee In the arena, alright, but the mad melee waa over In exactly 30 minutes, with Belcastro grabbing both falls with devastating hammer- locks. The first fall took 14 minutes end the finale 6; Smollnakl patting the mat In defeat after the worst beating ever received by any grappled in the local ring. Prom the opening gong until the final punch to the head the two h?ted meaniea stood in thee sprawled In the ringside seats and hammered each other. Before the bat tie waa one minute old, Pete had made one trip into the first row of spectators and Joe had traveled the same route five times. Prom then on most of the work waa done in the first, second and third rows, with Referee Ray Friable, stationed out side the arena, trying vainly to get vt.lalns back where they belonged. Pete finally ended the first heat by clamping on a painful hammerlock a'ter foul punches to the groin, head, and body. Smollnakl stood it aa long as he could; then pounded the mat in defeat. . ' . . . Coming back for the second tall, Belcastro wasted little time In kick ing Smollnakl out of the ring. Pour times the groggy Joe tried to re-en- games to play, the Chinook s enjoy a ur the arena, and each time he was full two-game lead over the second place Roseburg Pirates, lone remain ing club still in the race. EASY FOR Dl ST. LOUIS. June 15. P) There Is one American league ball player who smiles with glee every time he lands In St. Louis or every time the Browns drop off In New York for a game. He Is Joe DIMagglo, who for a yesr and a half has made life quite mis erable for Brownie pitchers and pleasant for his own batting average. Joe is up past .350 In the averages right now and hit .350 last season, but If he had batted against the Browns more often, there Is no telling where he might have landed. Since arriving on the major league horizon he has belted Brownie hurlers to the tune of .493. Last season Joe smacked the locals for .525. He marched up to bat 99 times and collected 53 bits. So far this year be has made 18 hit off the Browniea In 35 trips. The combined marks show he has pounded out 68 hits In 134 times up. This sesson's drive Include a dou ble, a triple snd five homers three of which came In succession In Isst Sunday'a game. OF COAST HITTERS LOS ANGELES. June 13. ( AP) Top Notch batters of the Pacific Coast league were In a slump the past week, so thr.i Larry Woodall of San Francisco, although he lost 15 points, pushed into first place with an average of .381. ' 1 Art Hunt, Seattle outfielder, with 19 home runs, easily leads the league. with hla teammate, Tted Muller, sec ond baseman, second with 13. HaroM Patchett, San Diego cen ter fielder, la the first batter to pass the hundred mark In safe hits, with a total of 103, but he has been at bat 313 times. The Missions had the best team average with .399, although they had the fewest home runs, 19. The first Portlander on the list of those playing mtre than 25 games la Pete Coscarart with an average of ,333 In 168 times at bat. UNABLE TO PITCH DETROIT, June 15. (IPi The Da trolt.

E IN FIRST MATCH LONDON. Eng., June 15, ( AP) After taking one good look at Donald Budge. England's tennis experts wore a bom reedy to concede that the Davis cup la going on a long trip across the water. A half dozen of them, polled by the Associated Presa after the red head had played his opening singles matcn at Queens club yesterday, were almost unanlmoua. One had an Idea that Oermany might win the big cup but the other five voted a straight American, ticket. Not one picked' England largely because the de fen ti ters' best doubles team, Oeorge P. Hughes and Charles R. Tuckey, has been a disappointment. It was Budge'a third appearance In England but might have been his first from the way all the experts in the outh of England crowded around to watch him torpedo young Jerry Duxhall. met by thundering dropklcka that sent him hurtling back into patrons laps as far as the fourth.' row on the north side of the ring. At last Pete followed his stunned opponent Into the new battle ground and th iwo raised havoc with the furniture, clear ing a wide space in the seats aa they rolled, kicking, biting and scratching on the hard floor. Referee Frlsble was right in the middle of thlnga, at tempting to force Belcastro back In the ring. Finally he waa successful, end a moment later Smollnskl climb ed back In and fell rapidly Into an other hammerlock that made him bawl with pain. After a few seconds he again patted the mat, and that was that. Ft ankle Taylor, returning to Med ford after a long absence, lost to Cowboy Dude Chick in the main event after receiving the lariat spin, but covered himself with glory by glabblng the first fall from the grabbing the first fall from the cham pion In 14 minutes with a Missouri back-breaker. It was a great match, with Taylor apparently having the better of the argument until Chick applied his deadly spin. Taylor was unable to return for more action af- tei being splnned. In the opener. Sailor Dick Trout avenged a previous defeat at the hands of dirty Monte LeDue by drop klcktng the Frenchman Into submis sion In the first round and winning In the third when La Due refused to break a leg-breaker in which he used the ropes for leverage. Referee Frls ble awarded the fall and match to Trout on a foul. The Black Dragon was Introduced from the ring last night and It was announced that he would be ready tc go next Monday, probably against the winner of the middle event, which turned out to be Belcastro.
