The ''grudge" part of it is due to Nicolai's attitude when Salem was seeking admission into the Portland City league. It was the opposition of the Nicolai director that caused the decision to be delayed a week. The Senators have been putting in long hours at batting and field ing practice, and the spiTit with which they are entering into the league race may be judged from' the fact that two members of the squad, "Red" Ridings and Faurie. drove over all the way from Molalla for Thursday night's workout. t With "Fuzzy" Carson on the mound, Nicolai is certain to give the Senators a hard battle, but the team that almost, beat the Port land BeaVers Tuesday will be ready for the door makers Sun day.

A few of the former pugilists in motion pictures have climbed out of the extra ranks into "heavy money" as featured play ers. But Hollywood also is full of fighters whose former ring glory is of comparatively' little advan tage to them, in thejr struggle to succeed on the screen. Wnen an experienced prize fighter was needed, for a fight scene in "The Wisecrackers," 67 applicants responded to the call sent out by the casting director.. Every one of them had been a inain-evenJer. and some of the'ta had claimed championships. The sought-after "bit" was giv en to Young Wagner,- veteran of 139 ring, battles. Twenty others out of the 67 were hired as "at mosphere." A few days later a hurry call was Issued for a "dozen real fight ers to work in "The Patent Leath er Kid." The nearly 100 pugilists who responded all bore names which once were well known to fight fans. Among the former fighters who have wrung recognition from the films is Tom Kennedy, one time contender for the heavy weight title. Others include George Magrill. once light-heavyweight champion of the navy: Frank Hagney. former British champion and now in. demand as a screen "heavy"; and Victor MacLaglen, former Austrian fight er whose - big success was in "What Price Glory." Billy Papke is a prosperous orange grower, but comes over from Pasadena now and then to try his hand at pictures. Tommy Ryan finances a boxing arena, but occasionally works before the camera. Phil Salvadore, of Pacific coast lightweight fame, has quite the ring and devotes almost all of his time to pictures. Ad Woglast occasionally wprks in the films.
