With his speed and strength, he would make a whale of a halfback at football, and he is rather more of a loco motive than most men can stop even on the- basketball floor. Without him his team would fare ill enough, as It has fared in the laet two Karnes through the loss of the snapshooting Clair Tuck er. The game ended with a score of 11 to 10 in favor of the Mausers. A considerable part of the Bet-ter-Yet; Anderson-Brown game was played Ly Lleske. center, and Hulsey, forward, for the sporting gooJsmen. Lleske has been one of the stars of the whole series, and he played even better last night than usual. Harra. also, starred for the A.B'b., with the best same he has played in the entire series, and Hulsey mixed in In a way that he hasn't always done. It was some hard and heavy going when he and Walter Socololsky got together.

Glenn Grogg scores two field goals for the Bakers and Harold Socolofsky made one field goal and four foul goals, but at their best they could count up only 10 points against the Ander-j son-Brown's !.". The Bakers had' been dopjd out to win handily on j the records, but the dope sheet was a liar. The United States National bank ers were out-lucked in their game acainst the Bonesteele Motorists, losing by a score of 11 to 10. They led by a ncore of 5 to 2 at the end of the first half, but fol lowing that Russell IfenesLeele made two field goals. Kenny shot three straight fouls whore the Bankers got only one out of four trials, and a field goal by W. Bonesteele settled the cat-hop for the evening. President Bonnell is getting out his adding machine and his dope sheet to pick the all-star team from the series. They will have to measured in micrometer terms, for the whole six teams played so closely together that self-evidently theitj are stars on every team. He will announce his selection within tho next few days; if possible, in time to have this selected team in the field for some games with outside teams to take place of the post-season championship that the league had expected to stage next week. The finish decides the first place by a decided margin, and a tie for the second place. The teams are will ing to let it go as it is, and turn In to help the big star team to wallop the outside world. President Bonnell wishes to thank the Salem people for giving such good support to and taking such keen interest in the games. The series was started to foster good fellowship and to encourage more men to keep in good physi cal condition. In this it has suc ceeded admirably. No announce ment has been made of a further basketball program for the year, save that the Yellow Jackets, the star team of this series, will be ready to take on some outside ter ritory and show the world what real basketball is like. With approximately 50 men in training for the series, there are A fully a score whom some of the group of critics would give places of honor in the first and second teams. It is doubtful whether out of any six judges, working without any collusion, any two would pick the same first team or the same second.

Chick Rocto of Portland, feath erweight, is to make his third ap peasance in Salem, this time in a main event with his own name at the top. He appeared here as a last-minute substitute for Joe Iloff, a month ago, against Ad Mackie. He lost on a foul that nobody ever held against him. Ho is- probably more in favor for the way he took the verdict than it he had won a slashing victory. He won a close decision hero ag ainst Phil Baycs last spring, show ing real class as a boxer. He is to meet someone else in his own weight class, probably Aberdeen Jimmy Duffy, though the final contract has not yetbeen received from the Aberdeen bo?er. They will go for 10 rou::ds. Phil Bayes and Brick Coyle ot Vancouver, who won a close de cision over Bayes M Dallas Wed nesday night will :reet again. Sa lem. Salem students of the game insist that Bayes earned a draw decision at Dallas. They believe that with a week's training down- into condition he can surely win a verdict. The. two will go for six rounds. They always see some thing doing with Bayes in the ring, and this bout ought to be a prize affair. Hunt to Go Again Bill Hunt, who in his last match here showed such wonder ful improvement in . boxing abil ity against "Lone Wolf Bill Me Donald of Portland, is to meet a heavyweight from Eugene for four rounds. Probably no bout 'ever staged in Salem gave the fans more thrill than Hunt's last match, which McDonald had ex pected to Vin in a crawl, but which went to a draw. With a little more boxing ability Hunt would make the best of his class go hard to save their lives. Gaining in Ability He is gaining this ability, and this Eugene man is taking on a good deal of a contract to try to stay in the ringforl2minutes withhim. Two four-round preliminaries are promised, the names not yet having been definitely decided on. But the three main events al ready definitely announced look like good class.
