Many of the city's outstanding pinmen are included in the Printeraft group and they are expected to bring home a goodly share of the huge prize fund offered in the three events. John Fehr and Lee Carmin, members of the Barbasol quintet, that last Sunday afternoon set a new city tournament record, are to team together in the doubles event at Dayton. Other well-known stars included in the local contingent are Al Krebs, Eddie Hornberger, tin, Butch 2Zix, Owen Charley Tyner, Alex Kriner, Bloom, Clift Holy, Bud Schoch.

His team, facing the Hoosier Petes, which had a trio of 600 shooters, failed to win a game. Top City Teams

Joe Rea with 665, Bob Kelley with 626 and Les Koelling with 604 boosted the Petes to a 2980. the city's top team total of the evening. Games of 1029. 960 and 991 gave them the honors. Three additional 6800s were registered during the gathering. Jim Pearson gotting a 644, Bill Bowen 632 and Rudy Stempfel 606.

Fourteen honor totals were turned in by Indianapolis Leagtue members, Don Johnson topping the list with a 656. Lee Carmin and Johnnie Fehr came through with 627 and 609, but the Barbasols dropped City Hi-Bru, which had Joe Fulton with 641, Ray Roberson with 630 and Carl Hardin with 626 as their top scorers.

LOUIS, BRADDOCK T0

Somber Leaves for Chicago ~ After Knocking Out Brown: Champion in Town Already

Promoters Agree to Hold Battle in Comiskey Park June 22.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Jimmy Brad- | dock came to town today to sign a | contract for his first title fight in two years against coffee-skinned Joe | Louis at Comiskey Park the night of { June 22. | All the preliminary smoke in the {legal battle to match the two in { Chicago cleared away before the | heavyweight champion arrived, when the harried promoters finally pinned down the exact site and date by shifting the match from Soldier Field and advancing the night from June 15, Braddock and his astute manager, Joe Gould, will meet the Louis delegation Friday for the official signing | ceremonies,

“Nothing te Block It”

“There's not a thing to block the signing this time,” said Matchmaker Joe Foley. “The date is set, the site is set and both men have agreed to { be here Friday afternoon. | “Braddock came in today. Louis from Kansas City after his bout last night with Natie Brown." Although the White Sox ball park had been leased for the fight at least a week, Foley withheld an- | nouncement until vesterday when | the Chicago Park Board definitely removed Soldier site by demanding a rental fee of 25 per cent of the gross. The co-promoters—Mike Jacobs of | | New York and the Sporting Club of | | Ilinois—were said to have agreed | several weeks ago on Comiskey | Park but remained quiet until Soldier Field was counted out by its own exorbitant rental request.

Objected to Sox Park

Chief reason for the dela: Gould's heated objections to Sox Park, which will hold 75,000 and permit a gate of more than $1,100,000. Only Gould appeared to believe Louis and Braddock could approach record of $2,658,630

was the only not

Both Jacobs and Julian Black, comanager of the Bomber, admitted they probably could draw not more than 80,000 anywhere. The champion accepted an offer of $500,000, or half the net receipts, by the Sporting Club of through its millionaire president, Sheldon Clark. Louis will work on a percentage—probably 17's per cent of the net, Chairman Joe Triner ports contracts already have been signed by Braddock and Louis. “If any were in existence, tainly would know about them, Triner said. “They sign Friday.’
