WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1950 BEAVERS COME UP, PCL RACE (By the Associated rress) Here come the Portland Beavers again, scuttling busily up the ladder in the waning Pacific Coast League season. They've finally’ blasted their way out of sixth place, taking over fifth from San Francisco, and are but a half game behind fourth place Se- attle at the moment. The Beavers started the second to last week of the season in a general slugfest last night, by shellacking Los Angeles twice, #0-0 and 11-4. ‘The twin win boosted Portland over San Francisco despite the Seals’ 11-2 victory over Seattle, for whose spot in the first division Portland is shooting. Elsewhere Hollywood slammed Sacramento 11-5 and second-place San Diego smashed league leading Oakland 10-6. Portland knocked the socks off the Angels in the first inning of each game, scoring six times to open the seven-inning first game and nine times in the first of the night- cap. In the nine-runner catcher John Ritchey boomed ‘a grand slam homer. San Diego’s Orestes Minoso banged three home runs, two with a man aboard. Herb Gorman’s bases-loaded triple, homer and double (total seven runs) paced Hollywood’s 14-hit at- tack. Ralph Hodgin homered for Sacramento. The game drew 438 paid fans, smallest in the league this season. Seattle entertained its smallest crowd of the season, 1,096, and they shivered in 46-degree weather. The Seals kept warm by galloping around the bases on the heels of 11 hits and four Rainier errors. Kirby Higbe, onetime Brooklyn pitcher. appeared for the first time for Se- attle and was the victim of San Francisco’s biggest inning, six runs in the sixth on six singles, a double, an error, a wild pitch and a passed ball. Al Lyons produced Seattle’s runs by homering with a man aboard.

After spotting the Senators a 10-1 lead in the opener, the cham- pions rallied. They had the winning run on base in the ninth with one out but couldn’t quite make it as Mickey Harris put down the upris- ing. The Phillies eliminated Boston’s last mathematical hope of a pen- nant by whipping the Braves, 8-7. Bob Miller, who has been out with an injury, had a 3-hitter going into the seventh but then the roof caved in. He had to be relieved by. Jim Konstanty, making his 7lst relief appearance for a new major league record. Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo banged home runs as the Dodgers turned back the Giants, 8-4. The Cleveland Indians, blanked the Chicago White Sox, 2-0, on Early Wynn's six-hit pitching at lcleveland.

Charles weighed 184'¢ pounds. In his last defense of his title, Louis weighed 213 pounds as he knocked out Joe Walcott Jure 25, 1948. When he won the cham- pionship by knocking out Jimmy Braddock in 1937, Louis weighed 1971 pounds. (By Murray Rose) NEW YORK, Sept. 27—(P—Joe Louis, who retired two years ago, battles Ezzard Charles at the Yan- kee Stadium tonight in an effort to become the first heavyweight titleholder in history to regain the prized crown. A fresh flood of Charles money has dropped the price on the' title fight to 5 to 8 in favor of the Brown Bomber. If the odds hold up until the 7 p.m. (PST) fight time, Louis may enter the ring at the shortest odds since he first won the heavyweight crown from Jimmy Braddock in Chicago on June 22, 1937, Joe In Low Esteem Not since his second scrap with Max Schmeling 12 years ago has Louis been held in such low e: teem by the bookmakers. That night he was the 5 to 9 choice when he annihilated the Uhlan in one round. A crowd of around 30,000 paying from $3 to $30, is expected to visit the big ballpark. Another 25,000,000 fans probably will watch the 15-round bout via television and millions more will hear it over a National CBS radio network, CBS also is telecasting the show. The combined TV-radio network is the greatest ever for any single event. The TV-fadio rights were seld for $140,000, of which Louis is re- ceiving 35 per cent and Charles 20 per cent. That is the way they will split the gate and motion pic- ture proceeds, too. $250,000 Gate The promoting International Box- ing Club is hoping for a gross ga'e of at least $250,000. Increasing cloudiness, with a low temperature of 55 to 60 was the Weather Bureau's forecast for to- night, In the event of rain, the fight would be scheduled for tomor- | row night, As for the fight itself, down to this: Can Louis catch Charles? If he does almost everyone con- cedes that the Louis’ devastating punch will blast Charles out quick- er than you can snuff out a match. But there are many, including this observer, who believe that the 36-year-old Louis hasn’t got the legs to corner his underrated 29- year-old opponent. “Ill Knock Him Out” Louis is understood to have told friends yesterday: “I'll knock him out in five rounds.” Charles, embittered by Louis’ re- turn and still peeved at the Louis shadow hanging over him, says, “I'm going to stop him no later than the 12th round.
