Baseball Loop Admits Medford, Yreka Miners ki-u-r rnlifornia Diamond Circuit Will Operate With Eight Franchises; Ashland Elks May Come In The Northern California amateur baseball league will operate os on eight-teorn circuit thi, coming summer, it has been disclosed by League Prexy Felix Caspara of Mt. Shasta and there is a possibility that there will be three Oregon teams .n the loop The Medford Craters, apparently intending to withdraw from the Southern Oregon circuit haTe been granted admission into the league, as have the Yreka Mmers. The ASh,anTeayofIS oetftionffrom the Craters and Miners brings league membership to eight'clubs, but Redding may pull out and make room tor Asmana. tnee.gnt c,u ath Falls Sons, weed sons, mi. Shasta A. C, McCloud Lowers, Dunsmnir Railroaders. Redding Cubs, Yreka Minors and Medtora Craters. Because Redding made sucn a ooor showing last summer, win ning only one of 15 league games. and because the nop to Koaoing from Klamath, Medford or Yreka is overly long and expensive, there is a movement on foot among the other clubs to drop that city s league irancnisc. During a recent league meet ing at Mt. Shasta when the Red ding question came up it resulted in a tie vote, and the Redding representative, seeing how the wind was blowing, promised either to see that the Cubs had a better team on the field this summer or withdraw from the league. If a withdrawal is decided upon, President Gaipari U to be notifitd early this week. In that event tho application of Ashland will bt accepted to maka the eighth turn, The league has also received requests for entry from Hilt and Summit City, but has tentatively turned them down. Last summer the Medford Cra ters fielded a good team in the southern Oregon conference and defeated the Klamath Sons twice in non-conference games. Med ford has a lighted field, and will probably be allowed to play night games in the northern call' fornia league. Yreka played independent ball last summer and has a recently refurbished field. On the local scene the offer of the Klamath Sons to revamp Recreation field is still before the city's official family, but has not been acted upon. The Sons would install lights for night baseball and reconstruct the stands and grounds in return for a priority on use oi the city-owned diamond. No, Braddock Was Champ At The Time Probablv the one sports question which stirs more arguments than any other is: Was either Joe Louis or Max Schmeling heavy weight champion at the time of the fight in which Schmeling That fight took place not quite 11 years ago and is one oi the most wueooi aw ten about sports events of the 20th century, but you'd be surprised how many people will argue that one or the other of the contestants was the champ. . The joker in that deck was Jlmmie Brad dock. At the time of the first Louis-Schmeling brawl (June 19, 1936) Cinderella Man Jimmie Braddock had foregone his WPA checks for the emoluments accruing to the heavyweight cham pion of the world, while Louis and Schmel ing were among half a dozen or so logical con tenders for the purple when Braddock chose to fight again. ..,, ,n., The Brown Bomber and the Black Uhlan kUari ,,n in thoit hUtnrir euifle with nothing at stake but prestige and the big end of the purse. Schmeling knocked out Louis in tne lzin rouno. .... It was year and three dayi later that Joe Louie became king by knocking off Braddock in tlx. June 22. 1937. He's been champ ever since and considering the current crop of heavyweights will probably be champ for several years to Louis, as champion, decisioned Tommy Farr, knocked out Nathan Mann and Harry Thomas, before getting around to Schmeling again. That was exactly one year to the day after Joe had won tne true wune a, ismoi, ma ne nuucu ijuiureuus ... So time went on and Max went home to Germany. He became one of Herr Hitler s boys, a corporal in ine army, ana was ie ported seriously wounded, dead or dying several score times during me Dig coninci. Recently Maxie turned up as a graduate of a denazification school and has been quoted as saying th'at he wants to fight Louis again. . Let's Look At The Record Book Some other oft-asked sports questions are: . Q Did Tunney retire after beating Jack Dempsey the second time? 1 ' . ' A No, not immediately. Gene Tunney knocked out Tom Heeney in 11 rounds on July 23, 1928, then retired unde ' feated. In his only previous title defense he had outpointed Dempsey, Q Did Notre Dame ever play in the Rose Bowl? A Yes. Notre Dame beat Stanford 27-10 January 1, 1925. the year the Four Horsemen were seniors. Q How many baseball players have been elected to the Cooperstown Hall of Fame? . A Election of Frankie Frisch. Mickey Cochrane, Carl Hubbell and Lefty Grove a few days ago brings the number to S3. Of that total, 14 are classed as immortals (Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Christy Mathewson and so on), while the remainder are just honor men. Q Are Leo Durocher and Laraice Day really married? A Well, yes and no. Crisler Says He's Interested AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 3 UP) H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, coach and athletic director of the Univer sity of Michigan, was on his way to California today to confer with University of California of ficials regarding the coaching job there.
