MEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. THTTRSDAY. .TTJNE 24. 1937. Battle In London Offered New Champion For Second Week In Aug. PAGE SIX OR DOYLE MEET LOUIS IF Bomber Eager for Plenty of Work Long Layoffs 'Don Do Me No Good Says Braddock's Master CHICAGO, June 34. (P) Pronpec- tlvt btulnKS for World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louli took form today when Mike Jacobs received en offer from London for th Brown Bomber to defend his new title against Len Harvey or Jack Doyle In Wembley stadium sometime after the second week In August. Jacobs said a cablegram from A. Arthur Eldln offered LouU a. guar antee of 16,000 (approximately 75,- 00) and 42 percent of net receipts. The new ruler of rlngdom, by vir tue of hla eighth round knockout of James J. Braddock laM Tuesday night, which Increased his already fat personal bankroll by about $50, . 000, Isn't worrying about where his aext meal Is coming from. Nor is he planning on going Into hiding with his new crown. Would Fight Often. "Long layoffs don do me no good," said Joe as he packed his grips pre paratory to leaving tonight for De troit and a visit with his mother "Want to fight as offen' as man man agers want me to. I'd like first to meet Max 8chn.el.ng, but tha's up to them to figure out." The way things shape up, Joe won't have to worry about too long layoffs. Mike Jacobs, the New York promoter who staged Tuesday's title bout, an nounced a two-year extension of his contract with the 23-year-old title holder. The extension gives Jacobs exclusive rights to the Negro's ser vices for the next five years. Brad dork Signed. Jacobs also disclosed he has effect ex! a three-year agreement for the fighting services of the ex-champlon, Braddock. Concurring In Braddock's opinion that he is not "through," the promoter hopes to land a suitable opponent for Jersey Jim In the fall or early winter, preferably Max Baer. Braddock, who spent yesterday rest ing up at a south side hotel, left early today with Mrs. Braddock for their New Jersey home. The ex ehamplon was In good spirits, eon tending that with two more tough fights he'd be ready to meet LouU again. r . Sport Graphs . . . . Billy Hulen Says: Visiting Loggers Boast Talent From Willamette IN HOI FINAL MATCH Mti. J. O. Thompson yesterday won the women's handicap golf champion ship of the Rogue Valley Oolf club toy defeating Mrs. P. O. Bunch on the last hole or the 36-hole final round. The match wna exceptionally hard fought. The championship flight consisted of eight women, who battled It out tor the title during the past 10 days. The tournament was staged under match play rules. A ball NwecpatakM will be held Sat urday and Sunday, It was announced, with everyone Invited to enter. It will be medal play with handicap, and there will be a 35 cent entrance fee to be used to purchase golf balls for the winner. Last Sunday, Dave Wilcox and C. A. Maddux each shot a 71 and Lei and Clark a 60 to win two golf balls In a blind bogey tournament. ;T LOOP LEADERSHIP By the Associated lrfs Came the dawn of another day to find the Sacramento Bolons again leading the Coast baseball league by three full game and the Seattle In dians cauMng the isocond place San rrancUco flea I a no end of trouble. With the exception of a Seattle Ban Francisco slugfest In which the teams collected 3ft haw hit before Seattle won. 10 to 4, hangup games were played in the coast circuit yes terday. Despite five glaring errors, Sacra mento managed to defeat the San rrsnclsoo Missions, 4 to a. The vet eran Floyd Olds In a relief capacity in the )at of the ninth with the baea loaded and two out fanned Steve Menaer to give Oakland a 3 to 3 victor; over Los Angeles.

I Just received 30 summer styles for hot weather. See them at Ous the Tailor, 130 North Central. When Jake Olpe brings his rough and tough Olendale Logers to the local ball orchard Sunday for the Southern Oregon league's wlndup battle of the first half. Manager Mike Balkovlck of the Craters will feet en tirely at home. In fact, big Mike will probably get his ball club to gether In the cloubhouse before the game and tell them to "go out there and lick the socks off that Willamette team." In an attempt to strengthen his outfit for the second half race, which starts July 11, Manager Olpe of Glen dale and club officials made a whole sale raid of Spec Keene's Willamette university team, and Sunday will present to local fans three members of the club that won the state college championship by derating Oregon In 19 Innings, i Being line football coach at the Salem Institution, Balkovlck has real first-hand Information concerning the ability of WlUamett's contribution to baseball In this circuit. They are all good guys and good ball players, the Med ford skipper says, but they will be no friends of his whilst said ball game Is In progress. Larry Nunnenkamp, who with Jerry Gastfncaii and Weaver, form ed the beat college pitching staff In Oregon this spring, will do Olemlale's hurling, and Bnlkovlrk Infers tlint his boys will he look ing at a 111 Kh, hard one that lit erally smokes. Nunnenkamp really fogs them In there, Mike ays, and adds that the big Jun ior from Tlfnrd copped five while 1 - losing three for the Bearcats this spring. The Loggers' two other Willamette boys are Dwlght Catherwood and Bex Pierce, Catherwood being stationed at shortstop and Pierce on first base. Both are good hitters, the Crater headman avers, with the shortstop really showing exceptional prowess both at bat and afield. He Is, or was, a sophomore at Spec Keene's school this spring. There Is no doubt but that there Is a real baseball revival taking place In Med ford at pres ent. The national pastime has been pretty dead for several years, due to several unfortunate occurrences, but dyori-ln-the-wools who saw the game Sunday and three weeks ago against Roseburg and whooping It op like nothing since the good old days. He have personally heard at least two dozen fans proclaim it the best bush league game they had ever seen, which Is the best advertising the great American game can possibly get. In their two home appearances, the Cratera have proved the beat drawing club In the circuit. Last Sunday, against Ashland, gate receipts were 73, and In the opener against Rose burg, June 0, the turnstiles clicked off 7fl In paid admissions. When Olendale and the Balkovlcklans meet next Sunday, club officials expect the "take" to be over $100, and we don't doubt it In the least. - While still on the subject of base ball, it -might be wise to put In a paragraph or two regarding the amaz ing Larry Pepper, Med ford's youthful rlghthanded pitcher. It seems like some of the boys around the village are saying In effect, after watching him work last Sunday, "What price Boh Hardy now?" The boy Is really remarkable at that. Last year with the baseball school team manged by John Ml I J us, he was JUAt another pitcher, green as grass and with aparently no fu ture possibilities. Today, Pepper Is Just about the sweetest prospect seen hereabouts for many a moon. He stood out there against the suppos edly invincible Hardy last Sunday and matched him almost pitch for pitch, and In the long run It was Pepper, and not Hardy, who had what It takes in the bid clutch. m Our Appointment as Agents for the Complete Line DU PONT PAINTS VARNISH ENAMELS DUC0 and DULUX BIG 2 DAY Demonstration A Pu Pont representative will be here to help you with any painting and decorating ques tions.

It will be the last wrestling oaxd here until July 11. grapplers and fans alike taking a rest over the July holiday. The promoter explained that the first two men eliminated in the free- for-all would come back to tangle In the opening main event; the next two br.ten would meet In the mid dle affair; and the two huskies re maining In the ring would then wind up the program In the top spot. All bouts will be on a two-out-of -three fall be sis or a one hour time limit. Considerable difficulty was en countered by the wrestling lmpres- sarlo In' arranging the battle royal. Both the Dragon and Belcastro balk ed a getting In there with four tough babies who have little regard for them. The Dragon was afraid that several of his wrestling cohorts would gang-up on him and remove his majik by force, while Belcas.ro worried for fear those same enemies might take him apart and scatter the remains in the balcony. However. LI lard finally sold tne two meanlea on the idea, only after enacting a verbal promise from the Dragon's foes that they would n--t use ungentlemanly tactics on the hooded one to make off with his hesd covering. In addition to Belcastro and the Dragon, grapplers who will be In nn the fireworks are Mont LaDue, Frank Stojack Dale Haddock and FYankle , Taylor. (f Scores Yesterday (By the Associated Press.)
