Big Hole Of ' Hdcaho l&eady For Anglers
Zae-Grozano Bout
In Wrigley St odium
Wi Out draw Lous
The big light of the year, between Tony Zale and Rockaby Rock
Orazlano, la announced for Wednesday, July 18, In Chicago's spacious
Wrlglcy field. The Illinois athletic commission has snatched the fistic
plum away from New York and a dozen other cities after the N;w
York boxing commission slapped a year s suspension on Oraiiano lor
not reporting- a bribe offer ,'
This might be the big break in the grip New York and Mike Jacobs
have long held on big-Ume boxing for so many years. Almost without
a doubt the Zale-Oraiiano middleweight title bout will draw the bigscst
gate of the year, bigger than anything Louis would draw If he chooses
to slap around one of the contenders to his crown.
Boxing has been dominated by Madison Square Garden and the
Yankee stadium for so lonr some people have gotten the notion
that the blr show can't be held anywhere else and be a financial
success. But that attitude wont stand up when you remember that
the second Dempsey-Tunney fight was staged in Chicago and
brought down a gate of S2.650.00O the largest ever.
Raiders Schedule Game On Modoc
Sport notes on the local scene:
Southern Oregon college at Ashland has tentatively lined up one of
its games to be played here at Modoc field, that with Humboldt State
October 11 . . . last fall we wanted the Raiders to come over here but
It couldn't be arranged ... ......
Softball here is in for a splurge this summer, if various plans being
tinkered with ever crystallze ... In addition to the eight and possibly
more teams In the independent city league, there is talk of an all-star
squad to represent our town on the road, and the YMCA is out to or
ganize s couple of church Softball circuits . . . where they are all going
to play is anybody's guess, because at this writing Klamath Falls isnt
top heavy with ball diamonds . . .
Sons Have To Show Improvement
Jimmle West allowed only one hit In seven innings against Medford
Sunday, much to the surprise of several hundred fans back of the wire
netting . . . Last year Jimmy could never hit any sort of stride on the
mound, but he may be in for some good games this summer . . . The
Sons looked classy in spots during the opening games, but leaked a lot
in other spots.
Ill Hatfield proved that he can roam eenlerfield with the best
in this league, and Bart C.olbar showed Jhat straightaway left
center hitting knack was still there ... Earl Brooks and Dale Gra
ham performed creditably at second and short . . . Nevertheless
the Sons aren't in any pennant-winning shape yet . . .
Portand Puts Ginger Into Snapp
Portland sports writers were much taken with the way Ursal Snapp
took care of Wayne Parker up there the other night, and are plugging
for Ursal to get the next main event assignment . . . Incidentally he
has been tabbed "Ginger" Snapp by the City of Roses scriveners . . .
Snapp now has 17 knockouts in 19 professional fights, and has lost only
one defeat marked up against him ... He broke Parker's jaw.
There is a possibility that Ursal will fight the next 10-rounder here,
although there is a growing scarcity of opponents for the hard-punching
Merrill middleweight. '

In Derby
LOUISVILLE. Ky.. April 59 iPu
Practically everyone in Derbvtown
today was telling you that Phalanx
was the "big" horse in Suturdav's
Kentucky derby and Faultless was
the horse to bet to win the pot.
But Sylvester Veltcli. the collegiate-looking
young fellow who put
the saddle on Phalanx and there
fore is only the trainer of the derby
favorite, has thrown in his vote
against Faultless as the horse his
"gentleman from Virginia" has to
worry about.
He Is scared, he admits, of Jet
Pilot, the "cosmetics kid" from the
barn of lipstick princess Elisabeth
i Ardent Graham, and On Trust, the
Plumber Earl Stice's horse from
California, in this running of the
chase after the roses Saturday at
Churchill Downs.
The hardboots and the "hare
heads." who are arriving with every
train and bus and plane for Satur

average than their record-breaking
