; For the first time, the heavyweight
Challenger goes Into action favored
to conquer the champion, Louis, on
the strength of his tlynnmlte-ladcn
fists, Is held 5 to a over Braddock.
Despite his defeat by Max Schmel
Ing, who knocked him out In m
rounds and his unfavorable show
ing against Bob Pastor, who spot led
him 30 pounds, Louis holds the in
terest through the knockout power
in his fists.
The fight is scheduled to go 16
rounds, or leas. It may start any
time between 7 and 9 p. m., central

start between 8:30 and 0 p.m.

60 per cent of the total gate after
taxes have been deducted and Louis
17 per cent.
Weigh at Noon.
Both men Wero ready to weigh In
at noon today at the auditorium
theater, and then hide out to await
lime to go to the battle ground. They
must be there at 7 p. m. Braddock
figures to scale 107, with Louis about
109.
Braddock, Idle since he defeated
Mnx Baer for the championship In
1036, la strictly the "underdog." Ex
perts said either Louis would win
by a quick knockout or Uruddock
would take down the decision, with
a few rating him chances for a
knockout victory.
The tltleholder Is conceded to be
a better boxer than Louis. He has a
better left hand for Jabbing and is
rated a superior ring general. The
chances are that he'll keep out oi
the way oi Louis' famous right. Just
as he circled away from Burr's Bun
day punch.
Youngest Challenger.
Louis Is the youngest challenger
in heavyweight history. At the age of
as he was skyrocketed to fame Just
as fast as did Jack Dempsey when
the Mana&M Mauler started his fa
mous knockout career. Detnpsey was
3 years of age when he battered
WUlard to defeat in four rounds at
Toledo In 1019.
There Is no hope of a million dol
lar gat, dream of all promoters since
Dempsey and Oen Tunney drew
104.934 spectators at Soldier field
10 years ago. That battle drew 93,
668. 660, the all-time record. Botn
Dempsey and Tunney, the two most
colorful figures of all living ex
champ tons, will be In the crowd to
night. Dempsey picks Braddock on his
experience and boxing ability; Tun
ney says Louis will win on youth
and punching power.
The relYree will be named by the
Illinois state athletic commission!
Just before the two principals enter!
Into the ring. Two Judges will be
named at the same time. The best
guess Is that "Little PMP Collins,
with no political affiliations and
with a reputation for honesty and
ability, will be the third man in
the ring. There will be a "no foul"
rule governing fhe bout, w h I e n
means that the battle cannot be
won or lost on a foul.

Renewal of Hope
It will be new life for all Southern
Oregon league baseball teams follow
lng games of next Sunday, and es
pecially In Medford, Olendala and
Ashland will there be plenty of re
joicing. The first half pennant race
ends on that date, and following one
open Sunday July 4 when most of
the clubs take on outside teams, the
six outfits swing Into the second bait
of the schedule consisting of seven
games.
It will be the first time within
memory that the local circuit has
sp.lt Its season, and so far as this
semester goes, It wilt probably be a
lifesaver, to fan and player Interest,
alike. Medford and Olendale, off to
bad starts, would stand little chance
In catching the fast-moving Crescent
City Chlnooks, and Ashland would
be just about as bad off If the sea
sen were not divided.
Now however, all teams will
start over again, the slate will be
wiped clean, and with all second
division clubs greatly strengthen
ed for the second half duel, ex
pectations are for one of the
I Jnh tent and most thrilling stretch
battles In years.
That sensational Crater win over
Bob Hardy and the Ashland Llthlans
Sunday was, we honestly believe, an
Indicator for the brand of ball the
men of Mike Balkovlck will play from
now on. Although close to the cellar
with only two wins in seven starts,
the locals have lost encounters that
were heart-breaking to state It mild
ly Out of seven gamea dropped by
the Craters, two have been by one
measly run scored In the ninth in
ning, two have been by the slim
margin of two runs, and only In the
ser.son's opener at Grants Pas were
the Craters beaten soundly
IU'cuunc of the new turf field
at the high school, Medford has
been forced to play five of Us
seven games on the road, and
even with the olendtile Loggers
moving here next Kunclay In (he ,
first hulf wind up, the (rulers will
have 8(i! n action here only three
gum ps out of eight In the first
linir, All of which Is more than
slight hamllcnp: performing be
ta a home town crowd In one
or more gunies might very well
have men nt the difference be
tween a one or two run defe.it
and a victory.
The situation will be remedied
starting with the second half July
11. The Craters will entertain Granti.
Pass on that date, then travel to
Ciescent City the following Sunday,
after which the locals will be the
host team In three out of five games
In other words, Medford will play
four out of the seven games on the
turf high school field, which has yet
to see the Craters defeated.
If there was ever any doubt as to
who waa the best flelaing first bsse
tr.an in the loop, It was certainly
erased by Mcdford'a Bob Smith against
tin. Llthlans Sunday. The former
Medford high football star and po
initial University of Oregon half
back flash of this fall really showed
the boys how the Initial cushion
should be played,
Smith mny not be another George
Staler nor Hnl Chase, but for a bush
league national pastlmer, you would
have to wear a telescope In each eyo
to discover a swoetcr-fleldlng first
baseman. A southpaw and as Umber
rubber band, Smith came up j
with putouts on bod throws that the he lashed out with a sensational
aeritfe aeml-pro first sacker would drocpklck that contacted Haddock
probably never hare seen, let alone squarely on the button; and fourth,
touched. A couple of them were noth- he pressed his shoulders to the mat.
in; short of amazing; low and wide Haddock, after that short minute of
Kippers from Duke Hank in son at concerted action on the part of Sto
thlrd base and right down there In i jack, was utterly unable to come back
the dirt. Bob simply stretched out j for more grappling, and Frtsbie
until It seemed he would split ver- j awarded the match to Stojack. who
.(rally, got his lett flipper out and
that was that. He made them look
easy when actually they were chances
of the toughest sort.
His one weakness seems to be his
throwing arm. which could be strong-
However, It Isn't poor by any
means, and will probably round :nto
Miaue with some bot weather. We
understand that Smith has been cast
ing longing eyes toward a profession-
baseball career; he savs he likes
It even better than the pigsk n ous-j
mess. Young as he is. and with plenty i
ot proved ability. Smith should make ;
good without much trouble, for he Is
a good hitter In addition to knowing ;
the an.wera around the initial

Early Knockout
AFTER DEFEAT By
PETE BELCASTRO
For a few short seconds last night
In the Medford armory, the hitherto
undefeated Black Dragon stood un
masked, but so far as clearing up
the mystery of the hooded grappler's
Identity, he might Just as well have
left hla head-covering In Its place.
By virtue of two devastating ham-
merlocks, so painful they made the
Dragon holler "uncle," mad Italian
Pete Belcastro did the Impossible and
handed the masked one bis first de
feat In the Medford ring. And as
per agreement, with that defeat off
came the Dragon's mask.
Nobody recognized the man He
was a total stranger to the capacity
crowd, and when asked his name as
he was leaving the ring, he violently
shook his head and continued to the
dressing room, pulling the mask back
over his head as he went.
It was a good match, with both
villains tearing Into each other with
plenty of abandon. The Dragon call
ed on his famous Boston crab hold
to grab the first tumble In nine mln
utes, and Fete caused a mild ripple
of excitement when he was able to
answer the second-fall bell. Moat .of
the Dragon's victims don't come back
ater receiving the crab.
Following the first fall, Belcastro,
dirty as ever, started working on the
Dragon's heavily-bandaged left arm.
Injured In Spokane several weeks ago
After much milling, slugging, knee
ing In the groin and halr-pulllng,
the mad Italian finally clamped on a
hammerlock and applied the pressure
for several minutes, with the hooded
one patting the mat lh agony after
7 minutes and 8 seconds.
Belcastro wasted little time In con
tinuing on the weakened arm. It
took the villainous Italian only four
minutes to end things, the payoff
coming with another hammerlock
that stretched the Dragon flat on
his stomach with terrific pain. Bleed
ing profusely from a cut under the
eye. Pete grabbed the Dragon's mask.
The Dragon shoved him away but
allowed Referee Ray Friable to re
move the hood. For about ten sec
onds he stood rovealed. He appeared'
to be about 36 years old, and wasn't
bad looking as wrestlers go. Then
he pulled his hood back over his
head and clumped angrily to the
dressing room.
Frank le Taylor, the huge, popular
Callfornlan, blasted Monte LaDue
Into submission In two out of three
falls. Taylor took the first fall with
a flying head scissors. With La Due
cowering outside the ropes after be
ing driven there by an Infuriated
Taylor, who could stand Just so much
of the Frenchman's dirt, Taylor shot
through the air and caught the
Frenchy around the cranium with his
powerful legs, then flipped him back
In the ring and applied a body press.
LaDue grabbed the second fall In
the third round with a hammerlock,
aided by plenty of rope leverage, but
Taylor finished things In the next
canto with his Missouri back-breaker
He hoisted LaDue high on his shoul
ders and bounced him up and down,
then slammed him to the mat with
resounding force. LaDue was all
through for the evening.
Two newcomers, prank Stojsck and
Dale Haddock. Just about stole the
show In the opening event. Haddock
was billed as a cleanle, but actually
turned out to be a villain of the
first water. He roughed Stojack and
took the first fall In the second
round with a series of flying mares.
The ex-Washington State football
star came back to wind up the match
in the third round with a vlolous
attack. First, he bounded off the
ropes and crashed Haddock to the
carpet with three thundering son
nenbergs; second, he flipped the
meanle over his shoulder twice: third.

ADDED LEAGUE LEAD
(By the Assocltaed Press.)
Three full games ahead o( the pro
cession In the Pacific Coast baseball
league, the Solon' chances of being
even further ahead at the end of the
week were good today.
They are playing hosts to the lea
gue's most consistent losers the San
Francisco Missions
Comfortably in the cellar where
they have been almost constantly
since the start of the season, the
Reds have won but two series and
both of them from the seventh place
Oakland Acorns who haven't won
four out of seven this year.
The Reds could be a great help to
their home town opponents, the sec
ond place San Francisco Seals, by
taking the series from the Solona,.
But they would have to win six of
the seven gamea and the Seals six
out of seven from the Seattle Indians
before the Seals could recapture the
coveted frlst position.
Oakland entertain Los Angeles this
week and the Portland Beavers in
vade San Diego.
CRESCEITTAM
HIT BY STRIKES
Possibility that the powerful Cres
cent City ball team, Southern Ore
gon leaders, waa on the verge of a
crack-up, due to strike conditions In
that city was seen today following
receipt of a letter from Roy Deo,
business manager.
Deo, who has built up a club that
so far has been the class of the lea
gue, stated that many of his players
had been laid off by the Hobbs Wall
company, ond as a result may have
to leave Crescent City to find em
ployment elsewhere. However, Deo
said, no matter what happened, the
Chlnooks would remain In the league.
"This does not mean that we will
not carry on," he wrote, "but if it
does happen, we may be forced to
use some boys who are not quite so
good as we should have playing In
the league. "- I .am hoping-for the
best, however."
