It1 was a hair-raiser, from start to finish. They stood 28-all at Ue end ; of. the regular game period, and an ' extra fire minutes was called to decide." The odds went to Astoria, with three field goals, but part of that was luck for the teams had played so evenly all through.

They played close to a championship game.

The tournament' as a whole is attracting more ever before. attention than The attendance, especially for Friday's game, was beyond all calculations, and the two night Beries have been regu lar riots. Willamette has held some other good tournaments, but this eclipses all others in attend ance and enthusiasm. All-star pickers will have their slates made out tonight. All the players have appeared at least once, and Salem , twice; there ; is a fairly, good Impression as to whom will be rated as the stars of the year. ' OkerberR Is Star f Okerberg of Salem and Carter of Myytle Point are the class for center. There has been nothing better than Liljegren and Patter son of Salem for guards, though no one could rightfully pick any team until after ; seeing at least two games, except for an out standing flash like Westergren, forward fof Astoria. Kiminki, his running mate, has a good chance also. Reinhart has far outscored him, but in both casest against de cidedly weaker "teams.;,! They would, make a hot fight for first place in equal company, with Ki minki the more aggressive and perhaps the ' faster player,1 and Reinhart having the better foit throwing skill and perhaps the better generalship. There is -a good chance that these two will meet in the finals tonight', and it is quite certain that most of the stars will be picked from these two teams. Squaring Accounts , Stories of the late Richard Cro ker were being told in a Demo cratic club. . . "Croker was in a hurry to get to Albany one day." said a con tractor. "He reached the -station just as the train started, so lie ran a step or two and grabbed the handrail of a coach when some body clutched him by the coat tails and pulled him off.. It was a brakeman, very angry and blus tering. '"'There, I've-saved; your life, the brakeman said. 'Don't never try to bop a train when she's in motion again. t ; "Then, as the train continued to gather speed, the brakeman skillfully i swung himself on : the steps ; of i the last coach; 'but Croker, with a strong Jerk, pluck ed him "off like a ripe peach. ; ' T " 'You saved my life, aaid the boss.

Eoff WORLD CHIPS DEFEND TITLES Six Title Holders to Box in New York During Coming Outddor Seasqn. NEW YORK, March 16. (By The Associated Press) Six world's boxing champions will de fend their titles In New York dur ing the coming outdoor season, according to present plans of pro motors. It is possible that thia,llst may be augmented1 by" one or two other championship contests. Two of the bouts have been ar ranged as attractions at the Polo Grounds, the first between John ny Kilbane, featherweight cham pion, and Eugene , Criqui, his French rival, on June 2, and the other between Jimmy Wilde, En glish holder of the world's fly weight belt and Pancho Villa for mer American 112-pound cham pion, on June 16. , Leonard to Fight Four other championship bouts are in the making. Benny Leon ard, lightweight title holder will be ready to defend his: crown June 1, possibly against Lew Ten dler, Philadelphia southpaw; Mickey Walker is likely to risk; his welterweight title on July 4 against either Dave Shade of Cal ifornia, or George Ward ; Joe Lynch, providing he is successful in retaining his bantamweight title In the meantime, may appear against Carl Tremaine of Cleve land while Johnny Wilson is un derstood to be tentatively matched to defend his middleweight cham pionship against Tommy Robson of Maiden, Mass., in June of July. Heavyweight title contenders will occupy the limelight May. 12 at the Yankee stadium, where under Tex Rickard's direction, Jess Willard will box Floyd John son, and Luis Firpo will fight an opponent as yet unselected. The South American's opponent',' it was said today, is likely to be either Billy MIske of St. Paul or Bob Roper of Chicago. Jack Re nault of Canada, also is a possi bility. ; - Turnkey May Get Chance The outcome of these - bouts will narrow down the list of as pirants for Jack Dempsey's crown and pave the way for a final, con test to determine the champion's logical . opponent. Dempssy Is practically certain to , defend his title in the fall, either here or in South America, the latter contin gency depending upon whether Firpo emerges as the principal contender. . - Gene Tunney, who recently re gained the American light .heavy weight title - from Harry Greb, may add to the championship program by engaging in a return bout- with, the Pittsburgher.-e- - . only in 17th Phone 97 151 North High St Sale WHITK. SPOT OF EUROPE : Ssecho-SIovakla, the new . Bo hemian republic, continues to be the one white spot on i the conti nent ot Europe. While the othler European peoples ' are j occupied wtih external disputes or internal revolutions, the Czechs are grow ing rich. According to the last consular reports this country is producing about four timeH as much as is necessary for Internal Consumption. The balance of trade in its favor is unequaled anywhere in the rest of the world. - Bohemia waited for nearly 500 years for Independence. With them it was a kind of a national, racial religion. Now that the dream -of the centuries has come true the Bohemians are working industriously to make the most of their opportunities. ' Whatever nay be the opinion of the policies oi President Wilson in the rest of the world, he Is re garded in Bohemia as a great lib erator. A statue is to be erected to hi3 memory in the square oc cupied by that of John Huss. The one represents to the Bohemians religious and the other national liberty. Another American Is -to receive recognition in marble, one who is almost" without honor'in his own country, outside- Texas. It Is none other than'Col. House. He was the friend of the Czechs at Paris. 1 He persuaded his chief that Czecho-Slovakla could and should be free; and- the president persuaded in turn the other allied governments. i Czecho-Slovakia borrowed mon ey of t"he American government with which to set its republican form of government in operation and Czecho-Slovakla has. not tor gotten. The government has ap pointed a commission to visit Washington and make arrange ments for the repayment of the Czecho-Slovakfan loan. . ' In the midst of wars and ru mors of wars this little country s setting a courageous example to the rest of Europe. The Czechs are showing the other peoples what, they might do if they wouH concern themselves less with pol itics and more with industry. The Czechs have been hit by ths closing' of the coal mines in the Ruhr, , but they are wasting no time crying over it. They are making the most of the opportun- j ities at hand. Perhaps the ex-! ample of their prosperity in the midst of almost universal distress ! will not be lost on the rest of ; Europe. - Catching a seven-foot mountain lion by the tail was the recent ex- ; perience of an American hunter! if Sonora. This would seem to 1 be a lot more exciting sport thani checkers. , After while all the catsj will " have themselves bobbed to,' save themselves from the acfivl-i ties of American sportsmen.

The Dub lin correspondent of the Daily Sketch in" a dispatch from the Irish capital described the extra ordinary conditions nnder which the Siki-Morigue bout will take place tomorrow nigbt.
