Stockers MEDFORDjTRIBUNE IP18Tri5 I i Joe Brown Favorite Irs Lightweight Mix By JACK CUDDY New Orleans (U.R) Here in the cradle of modern boxing, Joe Brown a rangy, 30-year-old New Orleans Negro tries to wrest the world lightweight crown tonight from Cincinnati's Wallace (Bud) Smith, who may be 'vashed up." Although Smith is a lack lustre champion and Brown an obscure challenger, the promot ers hope for a gate that mav approach or better the all-time Louisiana record of $60,318, established by John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett in 1892 at the New Orleans Olvmpic Club. The fight will be televised and broadcast nationally over NBC networks at 6 p.m. There's a local TV blackout. Combination Men Brown and Smith, both Ne groes, are combination boxer punchers. But Brown is favored at 7-5 because he outpointed Bud in a non-title 10-rounder at Houston, Tex., May 2, and because that defeat was one of three straight suffered this year by the champion. Meanwhile, challenger Joe Boasts six straight victories. And he was impressive in training, whereas Smith aoDeared listle in his workouts. His excuse was, the Brown people got spies watchin' me and I don't want to show 'em nothin ." are moving faster and faster every week and always provide their share of the action.

Studs Oppose KF Lakers In Saturday, Sunday Tiffs Substantiation of their claim as the top semi-pro baseball team in southern Oregon will be the goal of the Medford Cheney Studs this week end. They travel to Klamath Tails to meet the Klamath Lakers Sat urday night and Sunday after noon. The series wraps up 1956 play for the Cheney Lumber company team. Medford won the Southern Oregon league championship in competition with four other teams of the southwestern area of the state. Klamath Falls played in no formal league but built up an imposing record as an independent aggregation. If either club can sweep the series, it can claim recognition as the Nd. 1 diamond crew in the area. Jack Cooney, manager of the Studs, said he should have his usual line-up available for the two contests. Only matter appar ently unsettled was the starting assignments in the pitching de partment. Cooney has Derald Wooton, Don White and Bob Sel sor to pick from for just two games. - Cooney, himself, is ticketed for his usual job at first base with Dick Toney at second base, Twink Pederson at shortstop and Bill Martell at third. Frank Roe landt is scheduled to handle the catching and outfielders likely will be Terry Maddox, John Kovenz and Jerry Bettendorf. Pitching Duel Hoped What Klamath fans would like to see is one ruckus match ing Wooton and the .Lakers' Dave Gambee, from Oregon State college, on the opposing mounds. Manager Dino Restilli can choose from among Gambee, Bob Leopold, Walt Payne, Jack Henkel, Ken Mallory and Chuck Tykeson for hill work Ken Dito from University of California may handle the catch ing. Restilli is the likely first baseman but might be at second with Gambee at first. Lloyd Canton is another second base possibility and Len Farrell of University of Portland may be at third with Ron O wings of Southern Oregon college and ex Klamath high at shortstop. Stan Johnson from University of San Francisco and a couple of the pitching staff may draw outfield assignments. Tykeson has been used mostly for relief work and probably will be one of the pas ture men. Maddox led the Studs in Southern Oiegon league batting with a .359 mark. Roelandt fol lowed with .325 and Cooney and Kovenz 'each had .316. Kovenz had 19 runs batted in but Mad dox who missed much of the first part of the season wound up with 18 RBIs.

Friday. August 24, 19S8 MEDFORD (OflEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Mick Mantle Blasts Out 43rd Homer New York (U.R) The next seven days should "make or break" Mickey Mantle's bid to break Babe Ruths home run record. The Yankee slugger broke out of his nine-game slump with his first homer since Aug. 14 in the second game of Thursday's double-header with the White Sox and now has 43 for the sea son. He is five games ahead of Ruth's record pace of 1927 but more important has a week of this month left to compensate for the fact that Ruth hit 17 of his homers in September. In other words, if Mickey hits two or three more homers this month he won't hav to match .Ruth's September pace to set a new standard. Use Tribune Want Ads For Best Results!
