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

conteet, no ticket scandal and very
little, if any, wagering on the out

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

Ion being too old to retain hla title
against the dynamite-laden flat of
the 23-yer old negro have failed to

Control Until- Late in

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
