Lewis had to be sum moned hastily from Pittsburgh to fcrlbble his John Henry on the con tract his manager, a us Greenlee, bad negotiated. An active campaigner, Lewis made one of his fAlrly frequent title de fensor Just last week against Al Gainer, another negro, at New Haven, Conn. But the bout drew only 4.000 customers and preserved the former Phoenix, Ariz., piano player's record of never having made any Important money out of the title he took from Bob olln In at. Louis In 1939. flout Long Sought For the past year he and his handlers have made loud assaults on Louis for drawing a "color lino" against him and has sought to estab lish a heavyweight standing by en gaging an assortment of bigger boys!

Gen. John J. phelan, chairman of the commission, said the boxing fathers held nothing against Lewis as a heavyweight, however. sockeyeWns to MEET RED L With the exception of the two tackle positions, which are still be ing bitterly fought for by Dale How ard, Alden Hibert, BUI Clute and Al Barrow, Medford high's Black Torna do storting lineup for the Eugene Axmen game at the stadium tomor row night has been definitely set by Coach Bill BDwerman, The encounter starts at 8 o'clock sharp under the lights. Opening in the backfield for the Tigers will be BUI Caples at quar terback, Rodney Stead at right half, Jack Bowman at leti half and Louie Thurman at fullback. Don Monte lth and Gene Miller will be at the ends, Franklin Jones and Waly Eri at the guards, and John Prentice at cen ter. lUe two tackle starters will be determined during the final practice session this afternoon, which will consist of light signal drills. Although rain has been falling for several days and shows no signs of letting up, the dampness Is not ex pected to seriously hamper either eleven. Medford, Coach Bowerman pointed out, has had plenty of wot' field experience this season, at Eu reka, Hood River and Bend, and has proved Itself a fair to middling "mudder."

That fight, to this writer, was far more of an upset than any football game of recent years ... It was less than a year ago that Hostak, the savage Slav, exploded pure dynamite against the chin of Freddie Steele, then champion, to win by a knockout In the first round . . . and, It was Just a few weeks before thRt battle that Steele, tuning up for Al, out pointed Krleger decisively In a 15 rounder . . . there, apparently, was your perfect basis for comparing Hostak and Krleger. in the same manner you figure football teams by their performance against a common opponent . . , Steele beat Krleger easily and Hostak belted out Steele In one heat . . . which, according to comparative performance against i common opponent, pointed to a Hos tak win over Krleger with even more ease . . . Instead, the old dope bucket was turned topsy-turvy ... it was an upset that makes all those pub licized gridiron form-reversals seem mild In comparison . . , And, by the way, a guy could have been several times a million aire If he hail heen rhllng the shnrt-endprs In the prizefight game the past few years . . .

He likes yolf and takes driving lessons. His children are Edward, 3, and Alexandra. 28 months. We are very much surprised at our good friend Bill Eberhart. ex-Ashland Tidings city editor and now doing his stuff for the United Press In Portland ... In fnct, If Bill weren't such a good friend of ours, we would write him a sharp letter. Early this week, BUI manufactured a nifty story desllng with the high school football situation In Oregon ... It was a very good yarn, we believed, and It went out over Uie V. P. wire to lots of newspapers In the Mate ... the story was a dandy, but there was one paragraph that our poor Intel ligence couldn't fathom . . . here Is what it said: "The non-metropolitan contenders had simmered down to a 'big four' as the senson passed Its seventh Sat urday McLoughlln high of Mllton Freowater, Salem. Klamath Falls and Medford. In Portland, the leaders were Jefferson and Franklin, both unbeaten, and untied in four starts." Now. as BUI was talking about the teams still In the running for the mythical Oregon state championship, we wonder how come the name of Klnmath Falls slipped In there . . . not to belittle the Pelicans one bit. for they have a plenty sweet football team and mlsht beat Medford It they played again, but we csn't under stand how Klamath Falls can still be considered In the race when they were defeated, and defeated decisive ly, by the Black Tornado of Medford . . . the Timers' win over Klamath was no fluke; they outgalned the Pelicans both on the ground and In the air, and held a decided advantage In the punting department . . . may. be that pass-snag of Monteith's was little weird, but. for that matter. Medford should have 1 scored a mo ment, before after marching 90 yards to the one-foot lino, where they fumbled ... There Is no doubt about Snlem. Mne high and Medford being In the mythical ttate-tltle sulm. but Klamath Falls, we would not hes itate In saving. Is entirely out of the running . . . unless, of course, all other unbeaten teams to date get knocked over before the season ends ... If that happened, and Klamath Falls went on through without another sethack, then the Pelicans would undoubtedly have as good a claim as any other club right now. however, we can't see how the Pelicans can be brack eted with the undefeated aggre gations'. . . unless It Is because Klamath'a tremendnus point-total has made Kill rnther forget that the Pelicans didn't score agninst Metlrord In getting whacked, 0 to 0; In fact, didn't get any closer to the Tiger goal line than the 28 yard stripe . . . now innr. tne above is off our chest, we feel much better, and arc not a- bit put out with Wlllard . as a matter of fact, we will admit tnat Klamath Palls has a terrlblv impressive record, from the stand point of points scored (257) to op ponents points (12) ... but, when you can't get some of those points against opposition that rattles your reein wnen it smacks you. they aren't of much use . . . ask Snowy Oustaf- son. pelican mentor, how he u have liked to had a dozen of the 68 points his tesm scored against Lake- view to use In the Medford game . HEADS FOR NEW YORK BUT NOT TO BATTLE SEATTLE, Kot. 8. IP) A new middleweight boarded a train far New York today, but he won't be fighting back there for two reasons. Hymle Caplan, garmlous manager of the new champ, Solly Krleger, enumerated the reasons, with ges tures. They are: 1. Krleger has a lump behind his left ear the size of a cue ball and won't be able to train for at least three or four weeks, a. Krleger has a contract with Se attle's promoter Nate Druxman to fight his next match here, and Cap lan said he told New York's promo ter Mike Jacoba In a 8 a. m. conver sation yesterday Krleger would not fight the winner of the Young Cor-bett-Fred Apostoll bout under Ja cobs' auspices. "Jacobs didn't give Krleger a break In New York so we're going to fight for Druxman here first," Caplnn said. Informed the New York boxing commission was going to "consider" whether to recognize Krieger's title claim, Caplen said: "If General Phelan (commission chairman) wants to be a stooge for Jacobs and make the same mistake he did when Al Hostak won the title, that's all right with me."
