their handlers had to pry them
apart as they took turni marl
ing threat at each otner. A
wild right awing glaced off
Tony's abundant stomach after
he had slapped Baer's guard
down.
All had been fairly peaceful
while the pair weighed In for
their 19-round bout tonignt in
the ball park. Galento scaled

fight will start about 6 p. m.
(P.S.T.)
Later, they struck their fight
ing poses for tna cameramen,
and the bulbs were flashing
when Tony suddenly slapped
Baer's left fist down. Possibly
he thought Maxic was holding
it too close to the Galento fea
tures. Bear's reaction, at any rate,
was fast and apparently seri
ous. He swung with everything
ha had, and Tony braced to
meet him as their handlers
rushed in and grabbed both
men.
"I'll get ya tonight, ya mug,"
shouted the enraged Galento.
That's all I'm waiting for,"
yelled Maxie right back.
The incident appeared to
have been spontaneous.
Previously, Galento had told
Commissioner Abe Green that
he did not want either of two
prominent referees Paul Cava
lier or Gene Roman In the
ring tonight.
Greene told Tony he (Tony)
could not name the referee, and
followed up by warning Tony
to fight cleanly tonight.

Pitcher Steve Crlppen, botn

Billy Hulen Says;
War in Europe
Upt Price of
Baseball DucaU
The European mess indirectly
is going to sock the pocketbooks
of Medford sport fans, but not
enough to make the eagle yelp
for help. Because of the war
America is embarking on a
whopping armament program,
the cost of which is to be partly
born by taxes on sporting
events. And Wednesday night
baseball clients will take their
first slight financial rap to help
pay for those guns, planes, tanks
Uncle Sam will shortly start to
build in quantities.
When the African Zulu
Giants, grass-skirted colored
loonies, clash with the Craters
under the fairgrounds field
lights, new admission prices
will be in effect. Regular gen
eral admission, box seats and
the ladies night pasteboards will
all retail a nickel higher. It
won't be ladies' night Wednes
day against the Zulus, however.
There has been a govern
ment tax right along on ad
mission tickets to sports
events and amusements, but
heretofore the tax was only
on ducats costing over 40
cents. Under the new bill, ad
missions over 20 cents are
taxed approximately 10 per
' cent, which is the reason for
the Increase in baseball prices,
along with theatres and other
sporting events and amuse
ments. Ladies night tickets,
although under the 20-cent
bracket, will be raised be
cause the feminine fsns occu
py general admission seats.
In appreciation of the grand
0.6 baseball being turned In by the
1-3 State League-Leading Craters,
0.0 directors of the Medford Ath-1-8
letic association have voted to
-0.4 hoist the percentage of the gate
3-0 receipts going into the players'
-0.8 pool, to be split at the end of
3-1 the season. Instead of 25 per
-I I cent of the net take at each
2.1 home league game, the player
-12 kitty will be sweetened by 25
2.0 per cent of the gross, which will
-1.2 be considerably more.
2.0 In addition to that "cut" on
-1.0 league games, the directors
2.0 voted to place in the players'
-0.8 pot 33 1-3 per cent of the net
2.0 1 on all exhibition tussles, ex
0.4 cept for tomorrow night's strug-
1.9 gle against the Zulus. And on
0.0 j this fracas, the ENTIRE net
1.9 j gate will be handed over to the
0.51 players immediately after the
1.8 game, in tangible recognition of
1.0 1 their amazing feat in walloping,
1.7 the Portland Babes four in a
1.5, row over the week-end..
To keep the record straight,
it might be pointed out that
Medford Is currently leading
the State league in both the
second and first half pennant
races. That sounds funny, but
it's true. Here's why.
The iirsi-half race hasn't
yet been decided, although the
teams are now battling in the
second half, with the Craters
holding a one-game lead over
Silverton, Albany and Eu
gene, all tied for second. Med
ford and Albany, alone have
a chance for the iirst-halt
title, and both have postponed
games to make up.

their record to 11 and one.
The Craters have only those
: two postponed Albany games to
play, while Albany has three to
make up the two against Med
ford and one more against Eu

Oaks, then all Medford would
need in order to clinch the first-

split with Albany.

The Craters undoubtedly
would stand an excellent chance
in the (State semi-pro . tourna
ment opening in Portland today,
but it is doubtful if the boys
can enter because of financial
reasons. They are slated to play
their first game July 9, and
make another trip to Portland
on the 12th, but it looks like
they'll have to drop out because
of the time and money thai'

Manassa Mauler Clouts Out
Wrestler; Comeback Talked
By Lewis Hawkins.
Atlanta. Ga.. July 2. OP) The cry of the crowd and tha
clang of the cash register beckoned middle-aged Jack Demp
sey down the comeback trail today after his lopsided knock
out of a tubby wrestler.
It took the old Manassa
Mauler only four minutes and
38 seconds last night to pound
Clarence (Futile) Luttrell into
Insensibility, and before the
flabby 224-pound grapp'er re
gained consciousness the former
heavyweight champion's glad
handers were assuring him that
he was the "old Dempsey."
D e m p s e y, weighing 205
pounds, did carry power in his
45-year-old fists hut his blows
were landing on a practically
defenseless hulk and they fin
ished their bloody work before
his equally old legs were called
on to prove their staying power.
Fresh from a triumphal strug
gle through a yelling crowd of
punch-hungry fans he was hit
harder by the back-slnppers
than he was bv Luttrell
Dempsey sat puffing slightly
on his rubbing table and said
"I need more work" when ask
ed if this bizarre return to
the ring heralded a serious
campaign.
