LITTLE SEEN ON EVE OF GO Amazing Calm Prevails As Braddock and Louis Wait Tuesday Gong Financial Success Held Assured CHICAGO. June 31. (API Tne world's heavyweight championship fight between Jamea J. Braddock and Bomber Joe Louie, set for Comlskey park, home of the Chicago White Sox, tomorrow night, moved toward Ha climax with amazing calm today. The.-e were no arguments about the selection of a referee, no last mtnuU legal attempts to halt the conteet, no ticket scandal and very little, if any, wagering on the out come. Yet the bout, acheduled for 19 rounds or leu, will be esaured of financial success, with Indications pointing to an attendance of 90.000 and gate recelpta of from 7O0 ooo to 750.000. Out of thli will go per haps 1300.000 to Braddock. who only a few years ago wtia on federal relief, and possibly 8100.000 to Louts, who only four yeara ago waa a 9-a-day automobile factory worker. Various estlmatea placed the caah in the strong box of Mike Jacobs, co-promoter with Joe Foley, at be tween gSSO OOO and 8SJO.00O. All the ballyhoo about Louia being alugglah In hit drills snd the champ. Ion being too old to retain hla title against the dynamite-laden flat of the 23-yer old negro have failed to tlmulate betting. The bout la liable to go down aa one of the llghteet wagering affairs in ring history, for fear of Louie' devastating punching power. Louia probably win enter the ring a favorite at odds that mav be 3 to 1. on 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 Heavyweight bout at such long odds.

IN F Ashland Hurler Keeps Tight Control Until- Late in ' Contest Pepper Shines On Medford's Mound A smashing, crashing eighth-Inning batting rally after two were out, enabled the fighting Medford Craters to overcome a three-run Ashland lead yesterday, and defeat the Lltblans, 4-3, In a Southern Ore gon league baseball game played be fore a huge crowd of thrilled spec tators at the ilch school field here Utterly handcuffed for aeven In nings by the raior-edged curve ball and booming fast one of Southpaw Bob Hardy, the Cratera suddenly found the rsnge In the next-to-last frame and blasted out three straight base hits behind two bases on balls to score four times and send the crowd Into hysterics. Rlckert Clears Bases. It waa Wally Rickert'a solid clout through second base that climaxed the sensational rally, and gave the Medfordltea their amaslng upset vic tory over Ashland's brilliant left hander. The bases were loaded when Rlckert atepped up there; the score was 3-1 In favor of Aahland and It didn't aeem possible that the Cratera could pull the ball game out of the fire. Rlckert smashed Hardy's second pitch between flrat and second base, and the ball, rolling Into right field. got past Manager Leonard Hall. When Rlckert got through running he waa on third base, the sacks were cleared, and Medford waa out In front, 4-3. Wally's hit was officially scored a single and Hall given an error, although the tying run would have scored even though the Ashland manager had fielded the ball cleanly. Hardy Ooei Good. Until the elghth-lnnlng Medford outburat. lanky Bob Hardy com pletely baffled Crater batters. He allowed only 2 hits In the seven In nings and sent It others back to the bench after striking out. Keep ing hla smoker low and close and his curve ball nicking the outside corners, he aeemed well on the way to a shutout victory. Dick Lewie cracked him for a tingle In the fourth and Bob Smith dittoed In the fifth, but that waa the extent of Crater effectiveness at the plate until the eighth, of course. And while Hardy was burning them across for Ashland. Medford's own brilliant young righthander. Larry Pepper, was turning the ball game Into one of the eweeteat pitchers' battles of the year. He struck out 9 men during the afternoon and al lowed only a hlt, the same number ; Hardy gave up. Pepper'a wide curve was never better and he waa espec ially tough In the clutchea, even more so than Hardy. Medford had only 8 men left on bsae to Ash land's g. Lllhlans Score First. The Llthlana finally broke the scoreless tie In the seventh Inning when Arba Ager reached first on Duke Hanklnson's bad throw and scored when Leonard Patterson blast ed a double Into left-center field.

Darrell Leavens bunted In front of the plate and was thrown out at flrat. McLean rounded aecond r-a the sacrifice play and when Bob Smlth'a throw to Hanklnaon at third got away from the latter, the speedy Indian catcher made the circuit.

Hardy drew a walk. He at tempted to steal second and had the bag pilfered, but'overslld and Rlck ert tagged him out. Pepper then fanned Schopf for the third out and the ball game. Good Support. Both hurlera, with the exception of several lapses, received sensational support, especially Pepper. Dick Sak ralda In center field, caught a line drive off Hardy's bat In the second Inning that waa labeled extra bases, and Manager Mike Balkovlck pulled two great running catchea in right field to yank the pressure off his young pitcher. One of them came In the flrsfr Inning while two men were I on base. McLean drove a long f'.y Into rlght-center and Balkovlck Just did reach It after a hard sprint. The victory was Pepper's second of the season and Hardy's first defeat In three starts.
