CHICAOO, June 1. UP) Joe Louis sllppln'J Don' you believe It. That's the solemn-faced advice you can get on moat every corner of Chicago's great south side Negro sec tion today as the Brown Bomber makes ready for his world heavy weight title fight Tuesday night with Jim Braddock. Joe, the barber ahlp porter, Bam the shoe-shine man, and Duke the ohauffeur he's already got the night off after dellverln the boss will be In the 88.80 seats at Comlakey park Tuesday night. There'll be from 17, 000 to 30,000 Sams, Joes and Dukea watching their Idol, Joe. "Sure, Joe was knocked out by Schmeltng," agreed Sam, whose ahlne emporium la only a block from Com- Iskey park. "But he was Jus' a boy. No disgrace to be licked by Schmel Ing, was there? An' he can hit Jus' aa hard as ever. I wstched him one day up to his camp and you shudda seen whst he did to the big seal, Harris. Me an some of the boys hss 100 on Joe to win by a K.O. In six rounds and we got practically even money." "Braddock may be good, but when he gits hit by that Louis left boy, oh, boy that'a all dere'U be to It," grinned Barber Joe, lovingly fond ling an already well-thumbed ticket of the $0.00 variety. Special trains will bring thoussnds of Louis' race to the fight. Two will come from Washington, while one each will come from Nashville. Tenn., Detroit, Waahlngton, Cleveland and St. Louis.

Last year, for example, there were eight class D leagues In America, the loweat rating given a circuit In or ganized ball. Thla sesson there are 31 such leagues m operstion, and ac cording to all Information we can gather from close perusal of the St. Loula Sporting News, baseball pub lication, not one of them Is on the brink of folding up before the sesson Is over. Although no records are available, It would be aafe to say that 80 per cent of the teams In the 31 olass D leaguea are backed by major lea gue or large minor league clubs. The method of operation Is simple: The class D outfit receives financial help through the season If It needs It, In return for giving the "angel" team flrat call on any promising players developed. In many cases, the class D club Is owned outright by the large organisation and all Its playera are therefor the property of the mother team. However, the ma jority of farm teams merely have a working agreement with the major or large minor league team, getting life-blood la the form of cash when needed and turning over young play- era who may go places, in return for the capital. The system embrsces every minor league in the country and has saved many ft circuit from going on the rooka midway through the season for lack of capital to carry on. For that matter, It doesn't stick to teams In organized baseball, either. Right here In our own Southern Oregon league, two ball playera are the property of a major league out fit, and are due to advance neat eea- son Into sn organized league. They are Earl Ray and Arnold Machado, young outfielders for the Oranta Pass Merchants, snd both are going great guns. Both sre the property of the St. Louts Browns of the American league, and were turned over to Oranta Paas by Willis Butler, Brownie scout, to be under the coaching of JUd Pernoll, former msjor leaguer and manager of the Grants Pass elub. Rsy, aocordlng to Fred Roper, busi ness manager of the Merchants, la 19 yeara old and a graduate of Fresno, Cel., high school. He seems the bet ter prospect of the two playera, clout ting above .400 so far thla year and leading the league In home-runs. Machado, Roper aays, Is 30 yesrs old and received his schooling at Oakley, Cel., high achool. Both youngstera look like oomera In the eyea of But ler, Roper said. Of course. In the Orsnts paas ease. St. Louis gives no financial backing for the flrat call on Ray and Ma chado, who already belong to them. They were merely turned over to the Merchants In return for Grants Pass furnishing the two Jobs. It helps Grants pass and the Browns, how ever, In that the Merchants get two fine players to help their club and the two players get experience and good coaching all year, satisfying the demsnds of the St. Louis fsrm sys tem. Roper, who la about tops as a baae- bsll promoter In southern Oregon. writes that four scouts hsve been In Grants Pass this yesr looking over what the league haa to offer In the way of promising talent. They were all Interested In Chuck Oetrum, Mer chant centerftelder. Roper atated. Chuck la singling at a temrtc clip, and the Oranta Pasa business msnager said he wouldn't be aurprtsrd If the fielder was signed before the sesson waa over.

Ponlsad, Orssoe El RIVALRY ERUPTS The Impending Ashlsnd-Medford baseball battle next Sunday at the local high school turf field, will hsve no bearing on the first-half South ern Oregon league pennant chase, a fact which dempena the spirit of the two bitter rivals not in the least. Both clubs hsve been removed from the championship battle; for that matter, only Roseburg hss the barest chsnce of catching the high-flying Crescent City Chlnooks. But, so far aa the Craters and Llthtana are con cerned, the game holda all the Im portance of a world series. ' John Q. Pans of both cities feci the same way about It, too. With the brilliant Bob Hardy southpswlng them over the plstter to Cliff ("Chief") McLesn. the Llthtana of Manager Leonard Hall are now con sidered the circuit over as the team to beat In the second half. Hard; and McLean helped the University of Oregon win the northern division pennant of the Paclflo coast confer ence this spring, and last year formed a fair to mlddlln' Grants Pass battery. The two have never cared much for Medford ball clubs, and for that matter, nobody in Ashland has. There Is no club In the S. o. L. the Llthtana would rather knock over than Man ager Mike Balkovlck's Craters, and It can truthfully be said that the latter aggregation feels the 'same wsy to ward the Ashland tesm. That rivalry la historic, and was fanned Into a small blsze this spring by more then mud sccusatlons hurled from one club at the other that the latter team waa attempting to grab playera of the former team. Nothing waa ever prov ed, nor was snythlng ever done about It. However, the unfriendly feellne- still exists, the natural outlet for which Is right out there on the ball field. On paper, Ashland has the better ball elub, what with Hardy and Mc Lean In there doing the throwing and receiving, and Ager, Schopf and Leavens clouting over .300. Hardy la the best chucker In the circuit, and McLean the heaviest hitter In addition to ranking near the top' In oatchlng duties. However Manager Balkoylck of the locals seems to be getting plenty of sleep nights snd thst condition csn probably be attributed to the fact that the Craters will present the strongest lineup to take the field this year. Rusa Acheson, George Harrington, Duke Hanklnson, Virgil Swanson and Dick Hoffman will all be ready to go. Swanson snd Hoff. man didn't play last Sunday, being unable to make the Roseburg trip: Hanklnson Is practically recovered from his sprslned ankle; Harrington, a aweet hitter, will see his first ac tion with the Crsters; snd Acheson, who got two blows last Sunday In his first game this year, wsnta a couple more against Hardy. Larry Pepper, curveballer, or Ray Erlckson, the tough luck boy of the Cratera hurling atsff, will dot the Medford pitching. e Fights Last Night PHILADELPHIA, June 18.

For today the Rupert Rifles are a full game ahead of American league's pursuers on the strength of Rutflng's sixth victory end second straight rbutout, a 8-0 blsnklng of the Clare lsnd Indians. In thst position, they a-e a great ileal better off than the Giants. Msn ager Bill Terry led his troops Into Pittsburgh as National league pace setters but the Bucs won, 7-8; sent Carl Hubbell to the ahowera for the fifth atralght time, and dropped the New Yorkers Into the second slot, hslf a game away from the Cubs. Shortly after that defeat, Terry an nounced he had sent Frank Oabler and Caah, estimated at 83S.000 to the Boston Bees In exchsnge for outfielder Wally Berger. While Ruffing has been winning complete games for the Tanks, an other big right hander, Clay Bryant, haa been saving gamea for the Cuba. Clay pulled another out of the fire yesterday to defeat Boston, 8-4 and put Chicago on top for the flrat time this yesr. Four of his five triumphs have come In relief roles. The Giants' defeat by the Pirates marked another episode In the mys terious malady that has beset Hub bell since the Dodgers ended his two year winning streak at 34 games. He Issted less than two Innings and lost his third In a row. Whtle the Tanks were whipping the Indians, the Tigers won a 18-lnnlng msrsthon from the Senators. 9-8, snd moved Into second ahead of the White Sox. The latter lost to Lefty Grove and the Red Sox, 8-1, the same score by which the Browns wh'pped the Athletics.
