The crowd jguessed right when
It turned out on jits toes to i see
the Medf ord-Astoiia game Friday
afternoon. 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. The final
Ecore was 34 to 28.

first pair -up. There has been no

noor alter ; going throogh, ' the
hoop for Eugene's last twb points, !
, when the, stopping gun closed- the ;
game, 35lto 33. It, was as close-,

seesawed back and tforth y4n a
heartbreaking manner , for 1 the
friends of the two teams. Ridings

player of the game with 19 points,

Joseph Oatclasffod
Salem played a runaway game
with Joseph for the last game of
the,, day. The ' Joseph players
were out of luck in drawing what
looks like the fastest team of the
tournament, but they played a
fine uphill game, and they can
go home without dishonor. Sa
lem; was repeatedly penalized for
iholding. With a really first class
onl ,hooter j the Visit0rs would
tave run their score away up.
-
of joseDn converted only 4
out of 13 tries. The final score
of 59 to 22 tells the story of the
Salem prowess. .. Fallon - and
Adolph, who went in a minute be
fore the close of the first' half,
replacing Okerberg and Reinhart
scored heavily. Cole for Joseph
scored 10 points, a remarkably
good record against as seasoned a
team as Salem.

The attendance,
especially for Friday's game, was
beyond all calculations, and the

some other good tournaments, but
this eclipses all others in attend
ance and enthusiasm.
All-star pickers will have their

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.

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-

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.

Threats to Blow Up Theatre

LONDON, March 16. 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. Already,
owing to the pronunciamento of
the Republicans against the
opening of theaters and other
places of amusement. Free State
troops everywhere are guarding
public buildings, patrolling the
Btreets. stooping and searching
passing vehicles and examining,
citizens to ascertain if they are
carrying arms. ; .. - j
The Free State government's5
reply to the Republican procla-l
mation was to order all the thea-j
ters to open tonight and the terri-,
fied managers of the amusement'
resorts' were bound to comply. !
Hence tonight, lights everywhere;
were blazing, but .the audiences,
were sparse in the theaters, mov-'
ing picture houses and other J
places. : ., . , . . I
The manager of the Scala thea
ter, where" SikI and McTigue will
fight; tomorrow night, at first re
fused to comply with! the military
command tov-- open his doors to
night, because' be had received
mysteriously, delivered threats to
blow , up the theater if , it was
opened. Similar threats are said
to have been delivered to the pro
moters of the fight, but neverthe
less they expressed their deter
mination to hold the contest.
