'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 .

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.
Portland lost another heart breaker
to San Diego, a to a, when the second
successive day a Padre alugger bounc
er nne out of the lot tnr hmir
score the winning run. 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.

10 BATTLE ROYAL
After several days of hlgh-preasure
cajolltigs and commanding Pete Bel
caatro and the Black Dragon have
agreed and Promoter Mack Llllnrd
today announced that six grapplers
would take off in a battle royal next
Monday night In the Med ford Arm
ory. 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.
