Roy Okerberg, former Salem high school star, brought his men from Eugene under the ehade of a haA-defeat at the hands of Dal las, a tweak team. The Red and Uack expected an easy game. It looked easy at the start. The ampus'kids'", wer slow to break. aelr passing was inaccurate their goal caging faulty. The. locals ran uj,a nina to four lead at the first garter. " -i Then. In an altercation over the ball, BobsKelly. Salem's b'g guard made a ptas at Powers, University high forward, which Referee Glen "dregg construed as threatening and unsportsmanlike.

The ter- : rific play ended with University high jp layers in possession of the "ball, maneuvering for a shot which would have meant victory for them. Salem high won over a team which Coach Anderson said after the game was much stronger than Astoria, a team almost certain to win its district championship. The two schools may meet again in the state tournament in March. Scharer, Salem forward, and Stevens, University high guard, divided hieh nnint honors with ten i each. Schafer played a whale of a game and his total represents hard earned points. He was smothered every time he got the ball. Lyons played a nice floor game, and scored two baskets and three out or four free throws. Friday evening, the Red and Black hoopsters will meet Wash ington high school, of Portland, here. Washington and Grant are the two outstanding quintets in the Portland league this year, ac cording to advance reports. A vic tory over Franklin would be a boost upward for the local five.

LIST OF CHIP! o Read the Classified Ads NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (AP) For the fourth successive year Tex Rickard today lined up the rank and file of pugilists for "T h e Ring." a boxing pulbication, and at the head of the parade set Gene Tunney whd just recently declar ed war on the promoter. All recognized champions lead their classes except in the some what obscure junior welterweight section where Ruby Goldstein gains top position over Mushy Cal lahan, hailed as champion of the 140 pound class. In all but the heavyweight class the promoter split the division in to two groups, only the . first of which,, were ranked numerically, among the ponderous battlers. Rickard set Tunney first, Jack Dempsey second, and Jack Sharkey third before dividing the remain der of the heavyweights into two groups. Foreigners Locking Rickard deplored the lack of outstanding foreign contenders in a copyrighted article accompany ing the selections. He declared Gene Tunney the "big sensation jf last year, as he was the shining Hght of 1926." "There is no denying that Tun ney is not only a champion but a e;reat champion," he.saidvI be lieve that he is one of the greatest .hampiona the class has seen. Any man who saw Dempsey make the most dsperate effort of his entire career and send Tunney down jnd'then saw Tunney come out of his crisis and fight back until he :uut his man. must admit that in Oene Tunney the American ring has developed another outstand ing exponent of science, power, sameness and sportsmanship." Canzoncti Top List In the lightest three divisions, where title possession has been .he subject of controversy since eTie recognized champions volun tarily relinquished their purple robes. Rickard ranked Tony Can soneri at the head of the feather weights. Bud Taylor at the top of che bantam division, and gave the flyweight palm to Corporal Izzy Scjhwartz.

(AP) j Rogers Hornsby, second baseman and captain of the New York Gi ants has been traded to the Bos ton Braves in exchange for Catch er Francis Hogan and Outfielder James Welch, the New York Na tional league club announced to night. No cash was Involved. The deal for the "best inter ests' of the club, according to a statement issued by President Charles A. Stoneham and Manager John McGraw. Hornsby signed a two year con tract with the Giants last, year at a reported salary of $40,000 a sea son, the highest paid any player in the National league. The statement signed by Stone ham and McGraw said: "After due deliberation between President Stoneham and Manager McGraw and having in mind what we think to be the best interests of the New York Giants, a trade was consummated today which in volved Rogers Hornsby. second baseman, where the Giants receive Catcher Francis Hogan and Out fielder James Welch of the Bos ton Braves. No cash was in volved." Hornsby's departure leaves the Giants with C. R. Crawford, a N. C, rookie as the only second baseman on the roster. From this fact, most baseball observers felt that McGraw would have to nego tiate a trade for an experienced man to fill Hornsby's shoes if he hoped to make the Giants a con tender for the 1928 championship. The announcement of the trade was given out by Ed Tierney, the Giants' secretary. Asked if the clubor its officials contemplated a further announce ment cleaning up definitely the facts surrounding the most sur prising player deal since the clos ing of the 1927 season, Tierney said that nothing more would be forthcoming. The deal is completed. There will be no further announcement," he declared. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 10. (AP) Rogers Hornsby, when informed here tonight of the sensational trade which transfers hirn from the New York Giants to the Bos ton Braves, said: "I cannot believe it." ! ' Talking over 'the telephone from his hotel here Hornsby seem ed greatly surprised and said he coifld see no reason why a deal should be made severing him from the Giants. Later Hornsby announced tie receipt of a telegram from JnvJg tmu Fuchs. president of. th.. Braves, Informing him of the dtat. Obviously at a loss for word the ball player asked reporters ii there was anything to the report that the Braves are owned by the Giants. "Maybe they're trying to build up a Boston club." he said. "I've heard the Giants own the Brave. Do you know whether that Is true? I certainly don't know what's wrong If there Is anything wr;n "Of course its all right with "me.' ' It doesn't make any different to m.e whether I'm with the Hraves or any other club, but I d ,n know what the New York officials mean by saying I wlls tr;, lor the best interests of tho . in1. ,in less they simply mean to in:'. -r tuy received players who will civ., ty." team more strength than I h. ... given It." "I do not however, believ.. that McGraw said I was traded for th- best interests of the club. That no doubt came from the otli-r i- low (meaning Stoneham)." BOSTON, Jan. 10. (AP) . Judge Emil E. Fuchs. president of the Boston Braves, said tonight he was "elated with the trade" which will bring Rogers Hornsby of th New York Giants to Boston in ex change for Frank Hogan ami James Welsh.

Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, be come sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general de cline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead ; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoon fnl in a glass of water be fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the add of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. ' ' Jad Salts is inexpensive ; cannot in jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink and belongs in every home, . because nobody can make a mistake by having a good Udney flushing any time.
