Irish Eddie had figurative fingers i crossed when he made the crack, and he grinned broadly at the time This Um thty'rt squaring off for fun and th photographer but tonight at th Auditorium whan Eddie Mader deft) and Domingo Valin put up their dukes they'll be in deadly earnest.

But a few seconds later he didn't grin when he stated? with character- istic Gaelic positiveness, he expects to box Valin dizzy. Mader realizes Valin, in condition, is sturdy, tough and far from a powder puff puncher, and others with a more devastating punch than owned by IrisK'Eddle' have been The Tope Measure Domineo Valin vs. Eddie Mader (Hayward) (New York) 23 Age 25 192 6 ft I in. 74 in, 39 in. 44 in.

VALIN IN CONDITION Irish Eddie learned, with some casualness, Valin is in good physical shape for his umpteenth comeback in two years. In fact Mader accepted the enlightening information with a So What? attitude comparable to mine. I had heard ao many, many times that Domingo was 'in fine fettle, only to discover a little later the Hayward cut-up was far removed fron) physical perfection, the news now leaves me rold. Valin had better be In form, Mader said, because Eddie himself is fit as a fiddle and capable of step-ping 10 rounds at top speed. Today's check with Tiny Heller's Franklin Street betting branch indi cated wagering on Promoter Tommy Simpson's headliner Is at a' balance, with steadily increasing activity In that particular department.

MONEY ON THE LINE Unless Mader and his manager, Mike Ross of New York, are trying to kid someone, they have 250 smackers which says Eddie is a better man than Valin, and if there is a doubting Thomas in the room willing to cover that sum he can contact the self-assured lads at Duffy's Gymnasium or Simpson's fight headquarters. Mader, a product of Hell's Kitchen, a picturesque and robust sec ion of New York, will be well attended tonight. Manager Ross, a pal since childhood, will advise him prior to and during the bout. His trainer, Jerry luniniu juia inond, will be at hand between rounds to take care oi sucn jnci- dents as facial slashes, while Johnny Keyes of Los Angeles, who bears the grandiloquent title of "The Mayor of New York's Chinatown," will lend his talents to the occasion. JOHNNY KEYES ARRIVES Keyes, instrumental in bringing Mader into Oakland, arrived in town this morning.

If satisfactory encounters result from the headliner and; the six-round semiwindup between Pete Pedro and Johnny Nelson, Slmp ton's ensuing main event will be made to order, The local promoter intends matching winners of the two matches, nil being evenL Such items as broken hands or noses, slashed mouths or eyes naturally will upset the apple cart, but Simpson is hoping for the best.

The class event started with another classic field in the line-up.

Danny Foster was victor with Fred Friday second after a bitter fight, Jim Denning, Charlie Bacon, Jim Atten and Bill Walbridge trailed. SAYERS ON TOP Heats were won by Walbridge, Jack Batt, Howard James, Sayers, Foster Cooper. Sayers also took top honors in the second semifinal and final handicap events. The three-lap, three-car curtain raising trophy dash was won by Jones with Rogers second and Springston third. Friday failed to turn in the expected performance due to a "sick" car which was running far from perfect.

He turned in a remarkable performance despite the handicap, taking several neat seconds and thirds. Wilbur Shaw Says He Was Misquoted INDIANAPOLIS, July Wilbur Shaw, winner of the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last May 30. said today he had been incorrectly quoted yesterday at Akron, as saying he had rejected an offer of a rubber company (Firestone) for an automobile tour of the country. The tour is planned in the interest of a safety campaign by the company. Shaw said part of the tour la to be made by airplane.

Shaw said a statement: "I don't feel safe on the roads," also was incorrect. He explained he felt the highways are -safe "if properly used" and that the tour in which he Is participating is to educate the publir to saier oriving. ua He said he had been offered plane for the transcontinental event of the National air races next September but had heard no more concerning the offer. -PLAY- LEGAL DRAW POKER LADIES WELCOME NO LIQUOR or MINORS ALLOWED 333 CLUB ELCERRITO A Rtd Label rears old BlsckLabll2rearsold Both (6.1 proof Ml! from BonltX jsmf rtrmt ilipovlif Clothiers Lead Fruitvale Loop Cleaners Defeat Pabco Club in Four Pin Tilts The Mutual Clothiers led the Frult-vale-Alameda 825 Summer League last night when they scored high series of 2760 and took four points from the Johnson's Cafe.

"I beg your pardon," said Fernandes, with murderous politeness, "but if I'm not mistaken those oversized dogs of your were protruding into the aisle.

Let me suggest you put them back where they belong before I comb your thinning locks with a 36-ounce bat." "G'wan, bum," growled Smead Jolley. "And on your way back get to your car by way of the roof." Fernandes, with dignity, continued on to the diner, and rather than bandy words with the Oaks remained in the diner until 2 ayem, an hour at which the majority of the Acorns had been put away in their ntue trundle beds. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED Lcnnie Gabrielson. ex-Oak and now the Hollywood firsfsacker, had run short of coconuts in a poker game, and remembering once Billy Raimondi had borrowed five smack ers, took his courage in his hand and approached Bill. Understand, Mr.

said Lennie, "this call is purely business, and is not to be construed as even so much as VERGING on the friendly. But how, about kicking through with those, 'five berries, or would you prefer I hold you up by the heels and shake it out of your pocket?" "Pardon me, good sir," said Rai mondi, with raised eyebrows, "but have we been' properly introduced?" "This train certainly is cluttered up with unprepossessing people. said Fred Gay, speculatively eyeing his fistful. of cards. "Disdain him, Raimondi, disdain him." An icy silence fell upon the Pull man and Gabrielson, after fidgeting uncomfortably few moments, beat a hasty retreat to his own car.

It was Eatori-who held H. C. Cap-well's to no runs and no hits in the first round playoffs last week to win 7 to 0. Picked to start for Julia Lee will be Earl Margetta, manager Harold Knott said yesterday. Knott admitted that his team would be up against one of the best pitchers in the Softball leagues, but said he thought, his tight-playing infield could hold Julia Lee to very" few hits.

Key man on his team is little Dewey Blowers, who is short, but very active, and manages to get up there after the high ones. Also playing in a semifinal Class game, preliminary to the Friden-Julia Lee battle will be Lucky Markets and U.A.R.C.O. The winners of these two games will meet for the title Friday night at the Oakland ball park. Golden State and Colgate will play for the Class championship, following the Class game, Friday night. While the starting pitcher for Golden State has not been an nounced, Marco Lemoine will go on the mound for Colgate.

Magic Carpet Reaches Hawaii Richmond Yacht Arrives, One Boat Still on Ocean HONOLULU, July Barbara or San Pedro will be the starting point of the next yacht race to Honolulu, the race committee de cided today after yachtsmen com plained that San Francisco was unfavorable for a departure because of wind conditions. Actor Lee Tracy, a contender in this year's race, said lack of wind at San Francisco made starting difficult, and use of the Northern California port made it necessary for the many Southern California yachts to travel up the coast before starting the race. Other yachtsmen joined Tracy in asking the departure point be moved to Southern California, pointing out that the race this-year was the slowest in the history of the ctassic, although the mileage actually wus shorter than from Southern Cali fornia. Trophies were awarded at the Pearl Harbor Club last night.

In one car was the Oakland team.

while the hot-box adjoining, housed members of the Hollywood organiza tion, up in front, close to the en gine, were the Beavers. The ensuing scene-no doubt would have caused the president of the league to chew his fingernails to the quick and his lead pencils to the wood, meanwhile tearing up 40 or 50 pages of composition about to be mailed to that robust weekly, the western wnoopie. CALL OF THE KITCHEN Perhaps each team would have obeyed implicitly the Injunction of President TutUe that players on opposing teams may neither be seen nor heard if individual dining cars had been apportioned the lads traveling South. Considering, however, the? fodder truck was 'way back on the string, and the Portlanders and Hollywood-ians were forced by circumstances to hike through the Oaks' domicile, it is understandable that a certain spirit of camaraderie would be established, and the Oaks, thorough gentlemen that they are, would salute visitors cheerily instead of protruding rude tongues in their direction. It is understandable, too, why a fellow from Portland, say, Harry Rosenberg or even Manager Bill Sweeney or perhaps Frankie Hawkins, would be so touched by the gesture of good willthey would tarry awhile and perhaps bum a cigarette or maybe even get into the stud game, 10-cent limit with 25 cents on the last card, as a means of expressing appreciation for the tumble.
