Man Tribune Sports Editer
A tightening race and rapid
comings and goinga of ball play
er are the features currently
In the Southwestern Oregon
baseball league flag race.
LEADERS JOLTED
League leaders suffered a
zude Jolt over the week-end
as two of them, Brandon and
Drain, sustained double set
backs. The result was to
throw Brandon, Drain and
Roseburg into a three way
tie for first place with four
wins and two loaves each.
Medford, which retained fifth
place with a four and four
record, is actually only one
full game off the leaders.
Coos Bay's surging Lumber
Jacks gave hope to the rest of
the circuit by proving that
Drain's pitching aces, Roy Hel
ler and Jerry Cade, can be
beaten. Coquille showed ris
ing strength with its two wins
over Brandon but a lack of
chucking strength was a dis
tinct disadvantage io the Bran
don crew.
But Its getting to be an in
teresting campaign all the way
round.
DOERR DROPPED
A glance at exchange papers
shows that Coquille has drop
ped Bobby Docrr, the former
Boston Red Sox second base,
man. and picked up Len Younce
ex-Oregon State college grid

been an infield fixture for the
Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs since
1947, has accepted a. job at Cres
cent City with a Juke box pus-
lness and will play ball in the
California city.
Coos Bay - North Bend has
picked up Hal Saltzman, who
a few seasons back starred for
the Portland Beavers as a pit
cher. Bandon has added Dr.
Frank Dierrickx, standout Ore
gon City semi-pro pitcher, and
Bernie Averill and Earl Averill
Jr., ions of the ex-major leaguer.-
' .
Roseburg also has lost Hurl
er Dave Munn but hopes to be
strengthened when Oregon State
college is through with its na
tional tourney stint by Pitcher
John Hopp and Outfielder Bud
Shlrtcliff of the Orange.
There is talk that Shlrtcliff
might wind up at Brookings
Cub Houck of Oregon State is
ticketed for Brookings. The
Chiefs have dropped Bob Stew.

Franciscans, from their squad
TO OREGON ' .. '.
Ray Bell, six-foot five - inch
basketball forward for Klamath

Huge Receipts for Outdoor
Mitt Bouts Seen This Year
By JACK CUDDY
New York U.R) Big
time boxing seems slated to pro
duce about' $3,000,000 in re
ceipts during the 1952 outdoor
season, --.'.
That :would be a very com
mendable total for open-air fisticuffs-
in these days of television,
night baseball, night trotting and
drive - in movies. And partic
ularly in these days of question
ably geared pugilists.
Three big matches already are
slated for outdoors, and at least
one more will be made.
Larger Gates Predicted
Many boxing men believe that
each of the three closed match
es will provide larger receipts
than the $385,313 tor the Jersey
Joe Walcott Ezzard Charles
bout at Philadelphia last Thurs
day. The gate was $210,313, and
TV-radio money, $175,000. , '
There's one heartening aspect
Race Car Owner
To Quit- Track
Indianapolis, Ind. (U.R)
Wealthy race car owner Lou
Moore whose blue crown spec
ials have won more 800 mile
races than any other make,
termed speedway president
Wilbur Shaw a' "little dictator"
and said he was "getting out of
racing."
The fiery Moore said his de
cision to give up sponsoring
cars for the famous . Memorial
day classic was based largely
on the barring of Bill Hqlland,
1950 winner, from this year's
race.
Unsanctioned Race
Other reasons Moore gave
were the entries of dlesel cars
and the amount of prize money
the speedway gives the top fin
ishers. Holland, who besides his win
ning effort in 1950, took the
runner-up spot In 1947 and 1948
was barred this year for panic
ipatlng in an unsanctioned stock
car race in Florida. -
Eight Pro Grid Games
Set for TV on Coast ..
San Francisco (U.R) Eight
San Francisco Forty-Nlner and
Los Angeles Ram football games
will be televised this autumn,
club officials announced Mon
day. The agreement, regarded as
one of the most important tel
evision deals In sports, followed
a federal anti-trust suit against
the National Professional Foot
ball league for falling to televise
Its games.
Tuesday June 10. JM
TRIBUNI
I to all three future battles. Al
though each fight is between
widely publicized scrappers, the
odds for each are very close.
Joe Maxim is favored at only
6V4 to 9 to keep his light heavy
weight crown on June 23 in his
15 round fight with Middle
weight Champion Sugar Ray
Robinson at Yankee Stadium.
Even Money
And it's "even money" for
the welterweight title fight be
tween Champion Kid Gavilan
of Cuba and unbeaten young
Gil Turner of Philadelphia at
the Philadelphia Municipal sta
dium, July 7.
Unbeaten Rocky Marciano,
the Brockton slugger, was quot
ed at 7 to 5 Monday to beat Har-'
ry Kid Matthews of Seattle in
their heavyweight challengers'
10-round fight at Yankee sta
dium, July 28.
When the Marciano - Matth
ews winner is matched with
Walcott for a September title
fight, the odds also probably
will be close. Walcott proved
only he could remain afoot for
15 rounds Thursday night be
fore Pennsylvannia ring offic
ials graciously decided he had
out fumbled Charles.
Similarly,' Marciano and' Mat
thews are two tremendous ques
tion marks. But those pugilistic
interrogation points will draw
money.

In Yreka Race
Yrcka, Calif. Jerry Hop
kins, Yreka, won the 20-lap main
event in auto races Sunday at
Yreka speedway.
Loren Sattler, Mt. Shasta,
Calif.-, took the 12-lap semi-main
and Rusty Phillips, Yreka, the
trophy dasn.
Heat winners were Woody
Thompson, Yreka; Phillips;
Sattler; Foster Seaver. Ashland,
and Bob Wright, Ashland.
Redkey Request
Denied by PCC
Portland U.R) Pacific
Coast conference faculty repre
sentatives Monday denied a re
quest of Bob Redkey, star Ore
gon State college linebacker,
that he be permitted another
year of PCC eligibility in foot
ball. Redkey has asked for another
season to round out the two
years he already has played for
OSC on the basis of a brief en
rollment four years ago at Ore
gon Technical Institute, Klam
ath Falls, and subsequent en
rollment at Grays Harbor Junior
college. -
He requested that the Grays
Harbor stint be classified at his
freshman collegiate year and
thus give him a third year for
grid competition at OSC.

Sign for Fight
For Championship
Philadelphia tU.H) The
kid from Strawberry Mansion
is going to get a chance to try
and knock the block and
maybe the welterweight champ
ionship off his hero, The Keed
from Cuba.
Contracts formalizing the 15
round title bout between Champ
ion Kid. Gavilan and Phlla
delphia's unbeaten, Gil Turner
were signed here Monday in a
luncheon ceremony at the Steaks
and Ale House of former light
weight, star lefty Lou Tcndler.
Turner and Gavilan were in
troduced after the luncheon, and
observers noted that while Turn
er easily defeated the champ
ion in the sartorial department,
there was no contest when it
came to the modesty of their
predictions.
Flashily dressed in a powd
er-gray suit, two-tone shoes and
a V-neck, horizontally-striped
DiacK and white sports shirt,
Turner won over Gavilan's
conservative brown sports jack
et and contrasting trousers
especially when both men doff

At PCC Meet

The talks began Monday aft

half'Sauer and Frank Baumholtz of
the Cubs, Wtutey Lockman of
the Giants and Bobby Adams of
the Reds are bidding for the Na
tional League crown.
Sauer's improvement has been
the most astonishing of all, inas
much as he also leads the league
in runs batted in and home runs
The big outfielder, who claims
he has slowed down his swing:
and is purposely hitting toward
the right field this season, is
hitting .347 77 points above his
life-time average and 72 above
his highest previous single-season
high of .275 in. 1949.
DiMoggio, Joe's little brother,
is .making life almost as miser
able for rival pitchers as did the
great DiMag in his best cam
paigns. Little Dom's average is .343,
tops in the American League and
45 points higher than his career
mark. Dom, however, is no
stranger to the .300 class. He hit
328 in 1950 and made a season
long bid for the title eventually
won by teammate Billy Good
man with a .354 figure.
