FAST AT MM . 4 TEAM About the 1iggest, most delir ious 'crowd that ever attended a basket-ball game la Salem turned out last night to see Salem and Athena play the- first elimination gamer of the state tournament. An estimated 2.000 people were in at tendance. They yelled like a mil lion. ' , "I'-'y ; , Salem won,'. 60 to. 29. ' It wasn't a one-sided game at that, for the visitors f played a ; furious game, and they, lake lot of beating. They, led the. locals twice in the first half and the half closed with the score standing - Salem 21, Athena 17. . Salem was no more sure, of winning at this point than if the game hadn't started, though the locals had made 10 field goals to the visitors' six. showing a de cided superiority In field play. .; In the first half, Shlck for Ath ena did some of the prettiest fonl goal shooting ever shown here, caging five goals out of six trials. He did not go so. well In the second half, failing in all four of his chances. Kretzer of Athena made frve field goa!s In the first half. Salem spotted him for the second half, and allowed : him only one . more goal. - 'It wasfa poor night 'for' the guards in the matter of goals : Patterson of Salem made one, and no other guard scored a single point. -' - 7 , ; '' Okerberg," witl li points, was the high point manof the game, and Reinhart followed with 15. " , Athena excels Jn a trick under hand pass that is wonderfully ef fective. i Man for- man, the team plays. a better pivoting game than . almost any, other 'team that Salem has seen' in' years'. " If they had learned to guard as well as they can: run the ball, .they could .play the Salem; team to, a 'standstill. They let Okerberg and Reinhart slip through for many field goals -though it should always be said that it is a man's job to stop these two ' Kcorlngmachines. ; Fallon, who substituted 'for Reinhart. for a",little part of the last half, made two good Xteld goals. Adoiph sub stituted for the 'last three minutes lot" Okerberg. Bannister of Ath ifna took. Kretzer's place at for ward for the" last three' minutes. f George Boh'.er, of Oregon uni versity, was the referee, and his work was? highly, commended. He and Ralph Coleman of OAC will handle the. whole series. J 1 With wont disparaging the ability of any. of the visitors, it is con " ceded that Salem, in experience at least, seems to have the better of the meeting tonight with Joseph.

The Battler disappeared four days before the ship sailed. His wife, a Dutch woman, didn't know where he was. Finally they found him In a Paris apartment.; He had been getting down to weight by drinking strong liquor. When his wife tried to get him out of the apartment he blacked her eyes. It was' under a patch when she went on the ship. Siki was carried aboard by six of the strongest stevedores in Cherbourg. Locked in. bis' room he acted like a polar bear in a dry kiln. I , He snorted, he roared, he kick ed the doors, banged up the furn ishings and declared he was dy ing from thirst. Then they told him he was aboard an American boat and the kind of thirst he had couldn't be quenched then. So he spat his disgust and calmed. He, left the boat peaceably, j "But say," remarked a seaman on the' President Adams.

' BUENOS AIRES, March 15. (By the Associated Press) The report from Los Ange!es that Jack Dempsey had been offered $750, 000 to fisht Luis Angel Flrpo in Buenos Aires was received with skepticism in well informed sport ing circles today. The opinion was expressed that any one offer ing such a stake, plus purse for Firpo and the expense of building an arena for the fight, likely would be a heavy loser by the ven ture. It was pointed out that $750. 0Q0 would equal more than 2, 000,000 Argentine pesos, and that to net this sum an attendance of at least 40,000 persons at jj 50 pesos each would be required. Such a price for spectators Was believed to be prohibitive. f NEW YORK, March 15.

Tex Rickard tonight announced. that the South Ameri can champion would make his next ring appearance in a bout on the same card, with the Jess Willard-Fldyd Johnson match at the Yankee stadium; May 12.' Rickardi did not intimate who Firpo's opponent would be, tut it wan said he might select either Jack: Renault, promising Canadi an heavyweisht, or Tommy Gib bons. St. Paul light- heavyweight. Talk of a Firpo-Dempsey match in Buenos Aires was branded in rinTi vernacular, as "bally-hoo." Kearns denied specifically that he had been offered $750,000 for the champion's end, as was reported.
