His Share To Navy Fund.
New York. Jan. 10. OP)
Less than 24 hours after doing
a pretty fair fighting Job for
the navy, Joe Louis completed
arrangement! today to Join
Uncle Sam'i army next Wednes
day and do hit battling In Khaki
from here on.
The Brown Bomber, who
reached a peak in his blasting
career for the second time last
night In felling Buddy Baer in
two minutes and 58 seconds,
wil be given his final physical
examination Monday, will be
Inducted In the service Wednes
day at Camp Upton, Long Is'and
and probably will make his next
fist-tossing start In late March
for an army fund.
Joe turned up at army draft
board headquarters to straighten
out all the advance details that
will make him Private Joe
Louis Barrow even before he
stopped at Jacobs' office to set
tle up for last night's fight. Not
that he had anything to collect
out of the gross gate of $189,
700.53 contributed by the 13,870
fans who saw him become the
vicious executioner and blasting
executioneer for the second
time since he came down the
pike. He was once more the
fierce flaller of the second Max
Schmellng fight, and the oldest
Inhabitants of cauliflower alley
couldn't remember when any
lighter hit such heights twice
In his career.
This time Joe disregarded all
principles of the fighters' union
by putting his title on the line
and his dynamite on display for
nothing. He and Promoter Mike
Jacobs turned all their revenue
from the show over to the Navy
Relief Fund. Baer contributed
chunk of his.
The financial business of the
fight was so complicated, what
with the charity and one thing
and another, that Mike's auditors
announced they wouldn't have
the breakdown figures added up
until Monday. The best esti
mates were that the net gate
was $181,245, that Joe's end
would total about $64,498 and
Baer's cut about $24 200 Of
this, Joe's donation to the navy
fund Is around $30,000 his en
tire 40 per cent, minus only
training expenses. Baer's con
blbution figured to be some
thing like $4,000, and Jacobs
from 1S,000 up.

Packing 24 points into blister
ing second and fourth period on
slaughts, the Medford high
Tigers tuned up for their open
ing district 4 clash with Grants
Pass at the Climate City next
Tuesday night by upsetting the
favored Little Sons of Southern
Oregon College of Education,
33 to 21, before a pathetically
tiny gathering at th. local gym
her. Friday night
By actual count, only 98 adult
customers turned out to watch
the Bengals turn back th. col
legians with a surprising dis
play of ball-hawking and good
old fight and spirit. Th. Tigers
weren't supposed to beat the
Little Sons, who had whipped
Ashland and Grants Pass, but
aggressiveness and th. neces
sary spark carried them over
the hump.
Trailing by a 7 to 2 count
at the end of the first quarter,
th. Tigers launched an 11-point
scoring spree in the second per
iod, while holding their oppon
ents scoreless, to gain a 13 to
7 halftime bulge. BiU Wall,
midway through th. quarter,
canned a cripple shot on a
sweet assist from Hank Herman
to give the Tigers the lead for
th. first time, at 8 to 7, and
from then on the locals were
never behind.
The Tigers gradually in
creased their lead in the third
heat, which ended 20 to 11;
then. In the fourth quarter they
really turned on the steam. Her
man, who went scoreless in the
first half, found his eye and
nabbed three field goals in the
final eight minutes, Reynolds
hit twice and Fawcet, Webber,
Niedermeyer and Monteith once
each for a total of 13 points.
Scoring for the Bengals was
evenly divided. Reynolds got
seven points. Wall and Herman
six each and Niedermeyer and
Fawcett four each. For the Lit
tle Sons, Smith, center, accum
ulated eight tallies.
The collegians suffered a se
vere blow in the first minute
of the game when Dean Jones,
first-string guard, dislocated his
right big toe in a crash against
the east wall.'
