FACE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1942. Joe Louis -Buddy Baer Scrap May Break mini ta nrnnur fl . . ... . I iiimrrriTrr, nnnr'l 1'iiiiirnrinniiTn nr li NAVY TO RECEIVE OF LARGEST GATE Jacobs Expects Fight To Top Previous High Of $201,613; Joe Favorite. Br Sid Fader New York. Jan. 8. Wr The biggest pile of 'fresh" ever col lected under one root in me hutory of boxing will be heaped in the middle of Madison Square Garden's ring tomorrow night, If the iron men keep arriving on their present schedule. This chunk of exchequer has been lured in by the heavy weight championship shindig between Joe Lou If and Buddy Baer, and, since that's our way when the cause Is good, by the fact that the show Is for the navy relief fund for the families of sailors at sea or those killed in action. Promoter Mike Jacobs, who isn't taking enough out of this affair for a new packet of poln settia seed for the Miami man sion, announced today that he is shooting at a new all-time indoor gate receipts record. - He figures he stands a good chance of getting it if the last day rush to the ticket counters reports as usual. 20.000 To Pay This would mean that the 20,000 customers expected for what is listed as a 15-rounder (even Buddy's best friends don't see how he can last that long) would chip In to a Jackpot to top the $201,613 "take" the night Jimmy Maloney outpoint ed Jack Delaney In the same aoupbowl back on Feb. 18, 1927. -That's the sweetest tune the cash registers ever sang for an indoor show in the history of busting beaks. The nicest part about this one, though in addition to the fact that the fight game's big door prize is on the line Is that the navy fund cuts in for the sweet est piece of sugar. With Mike giving up his entire profit, Louis tossing his whole 40 percent into the bundle in a grand ges ture, and Baer giving up 2Vi percent of his 15 in addition to risking health and safe-being against the Bomber it wouldn't be surprising if the sailor boys' kiddies collected $100,000 or slightly more. Last For Louis So far as the nose-flattening itself Is concerned, Louis, mak ing his last trip to the post before trading in his trunks for soldier suit and possibly his last outing for keeps Is high and hot for this one. This corner, having watched him tear sparring partners apart to see what makes them tick, picks the Bomber to give Buddy enough, and a little extra, be fore the bell sounds starting the fourth. Buddy's a nice fellow, mind you, good to his folks, willing, and not afraid (are ya llst'nin'. Max?). He has a right hand that packs a can of ether, and when he fought Louts last May he gave Joe a whiff of it. But he is easy to hit and when a fighter has that nasty little habit, the safest way to fight Joe Is out of a bomb-proof shelter.

HOPPE TO START TITLE DEFENSE Chicago, Jan. 8 VP) Bll llards' boy-wonder 40 years ago and today a greater figure than ever in the game, Willie Hoppe tomorrow night will start after the answer to question many fans and Hoppe himself are asking: Will his game ever again hit the peak It attained the last two years?

"When I left Milwaukee the other day we had more than 8,800 reservations for five-man teams at Columbus," said Baum garten, here on a vacation, "and there is no question b. t that the ABC this year will exceed the record entry of 8,073 five-man teams at Detroit in 1940.

Horton Smith, who used to win more than his share of these tournaments and still keeps well up among the money winners by finishing rather con sistently in the first 10, added a hole In one to the week's rec ord of surprising practice rounds. He holed out a No. 1 Iron shot on the 21S yard sixth of the tourney site, Hillcrest country club.

(UP) There is no such thing as a normal mind In the world today, accord ing to Nathaniel F. Cantor, so cial science professor at the Uni versity of Buffalo. Declaring that no one has de veloped the well-rounded per sonallty necessary for normal ity, Dr. Cantor points out that there are both positive and negative types of social malad justment. He claims that the individual who "dares to be himself and is unafraid to ex press his differences" and the individual who "cannot accept responsibility for positive be havior and is overcome by guilt and. fear" are both abnormal and have emotional conflicts. "Anyone who has achieved a satisfactory dynamic balance be tween the need for self-expression and the need for self-repression has a normal personality," Dr. Cantor asserts. "Such a per son will possess a sense of Inter nal freedom, a feeling of inner confidence and a lack of dis ruptive fear."

(IP) Be cause of the war the Brooklyn Dodgers have decided to post pone mailing 1942 contracts to the National league champions until next month, but most other clubs Insisted today they were following a "business as usual" policy. The doubt of the TWl0r Ural explained by Secretary John ivicuonaid: "We operate on a budget and in normal seasons w hava a payroll of around $300,000. But right now I don't guess anyone knows what receipts to expect from next season and we're go ing to sit on the situation a few weeks before committing ourselves on salaries." President Larrv MacPhail L toying with the idea of includ ing Donus clauses In the con tracts of some of his higher Drlced stars. MrDnnnM nHHH so that their salaries would re flect whatever financial success the Dodgers might have next summer. So far that TVwfao signed two players Pitcher Kirby Higbe and batting cham pion Pete Reiser. But they ex pect some trouble in reaching terms with first baseman Dolph Camllli, who was voted the league's most valuabln nlavar and possibly with some of their omer stars. The salaries of at least five of their cast run Into five figures, with Joe Medwick probably tops at about $20,000. Camilll would like to get into that ranee. He have been 'paid $15,000 last year.

AT MEDFORD'S NEW ICE ARENA Prices Skates for Rent OF FLEET TOKYO Washington, Jan. 8 The whereabouts and intentions of the United States Pacific fleet apparently were causing renewed concern today in Tokyo. There was evidence of this In the enemy's recourse to the axis guessing technique the circula tion of vague reports designed to elicit valuable Information. Both the Tokyo radio and a German-controlled station co operated in broadcasting the in itial feelers. Tokyo was heard reporting an engagement be tween the Japanese and Amer ican fleets in the western Pa cific. The nazi story, aired from a station in The Netherlands, had the Japanese attacking two U. S. battleships en route to Australia, and sinking one of them. The navy department here declined comment on Tokyo's sea battle last night, and dis missed the nazi report as some thing containing "not an lota of truth." It was noted in passing here, however, that the reports hard ly bore out the repeated axis claims that the Pacific fleet had been "crippled," "knocked out" and finally as one Japanese source had it "destroyed to pieces" by the Pearl harbor at tack. House Would Shift La Guardia Power Washington, Jan. 8. (JPl The house decided tentatively today to shift financial responsibility for the nation's civilian defense from Mayoi LaGuardia of New York to the war department. Action to give war department authority to control civilian de fense spending came on a vote of 110 to 58 as the house con sidered legislation authorizing expenditure of $100,000,000 to provide safeguards against aerial attacks.

(JP) Indica tions of at least a temporary subsidence of the submarine menace off the Pacific coast were seen in an official 13th naval district statement Issued late yesterday, which pointed out, however, that American Canadian patrols remain vigi lant and active. Merchant vessel traffic has for the time being returned to normal, the statement said, alter a "rather ineffective submarine campaign off the Pacific coast by enemy undersea craft. v "In the Puget sound areas. British Columbia waters and off the Columbia river a con tinuous patrol by inshore and offshore surface craft and air craft was and is being main tained by the navy." Presence of enemy surface craft in the vicinity of the Aleutians on December 31 was indicated.

FACTS AS A MEASURE OF Record InTinT III nilllimU START MACHINERY (Continued Prom Page One) Time Factor Eyed Now assured that construction had been authorized, the public today became curious about how soon work will start and how building of the camp will be handled. It was planned originally to let the Job to a private contrac tor through competitive bidding. While army officers are no longer permitted to discuss mili tary subjects publicly without specific authorization, there ap peared to civilian observers to be no change yet in this proce dure. It was Indicated yesterday In an authorized statement from the area engineer's office hera that the bidding procedure was still to be followed. . It was pointed out by civilian observers, however, that there was nothing to stop the army from changing its plans to meet changing situations. Hence, it was said, to save time a negoti ated contract might be the meth od followed, this procedure elim inating the necessity of adver tising for bids and waiting for certain designated time to elapse before opening bids. Ordinarily 20 days would elapse between the calling of bids and the awarding of a con tract so that in all month would expire before construc tion could start after the call. A negotiated contract could re duce this time. Whatever procedure is follow ed, civilians familiar with the subject felt certain that the can tonment would be built by pri vate firms under the supervision of the U. S. engineers and not constructed by the army itself. Virginia has a town named Ante. One room of the Carlsbad Caverns is three-fourths of a mile long. Three mple for ADVERTISING VALUE
