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.
Another feature event will be
a. program by the quartermidgets
with at least six and maybe
more coming up from Monte
bello. Calif., for the race. A
special track has been construct
ed and has been pronounced per
fect by the Windman Brothers,
Mike. 6, and David, 4. They are
bringing plenty of competition
in the person of Norma Jean
Hollingsworth and there have
been rumors that some local
youngsters will be on hand, Judy
Bryant and Dana Carder of Ash
land. There will be racing for every
one at the Valley View Speed
way Saturday night. Time trials
are at 6:30 p.m. and the first
event at 8 p.m.

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.

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.
