FIRST ALL-NEGRO
OF RECENT YEARS
Ring Wise Astonished After
Long Side Stepping
Give Lewis Chance for
First Big Money Battle
By JudKon Bailey
NEW YORK, Nov. 3v (AP) On
top of everything else that has hop
pened to the boxing business recent
ly, heavyweight champion Joe Louis
natonlthed becauM It had been tlde
atpppJ so long It wm considered
about as probable as an Invasion
from Mars. 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!
One of these bouts was to have
been with Tony (Two-Ton) Qalento
In Philadelphia last summer, but
Qalento was knocked down for a long

"Oncle" Mike Jacobs delayed dis
closing financial dntalls and no men
tion was made of Lewis' suit against
the New York athletic' commission
for discrimination In suspending him
as light-heavyweight champion be
cause he refused to meet Tiger Jack
Fox, the commission designated con

the commission, said the boxing
fathers held nothing against Lewis as
a heavyweight, however.

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." Eugene, with a huge,
Red Lvons. the Jonlln Ohost. and 1 powerhouse aggregation averaging

ever to appear In the local armory, to rRht at homo on wet tur'. "

If there Is any sport In the world
that runs less true to so-called form
than football. It undoubtedly Is box
ing . , . nobody figured Solly Krleger,
29-year-old New
York Jew, had a
ghost of a chance
against Al Hoa
tak up there In
Seattle the other
night, but now
Solly is the new
mlddl e w e 1 g h t
o h a m plon and
Hostak, terrifi
cally battered,
Just left the hos
pital and may
never fight again.
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 . . . Jmt to
mention a few, look at the Baer
llrndfloek thing, the Mrst Srhmel-Ing-Loulft
brawl, the Kns- Arm
strong go and the Apostoll-Youne
Cnrbett battle In Trlsro , , . there
have been many more the past
few yenrs when the underdogs
marltngly refused to stay under,
and there will he many more to
rome ... in the fight Industry,
it Is getting to be a good het,
win or lose, to take the ahort
ender . .

'A V-
RUCCEO though he seema,
the Duke of Kent who was
reared to be a "sailor prince"
retired from naval life In 1929
because of 111 health. 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."
