J If Portland semi-pro clubs'want

portant Wilamette valley teams,
they will have to take them all
into one league.
Salem. Eugene and Albany
hattAhall magnates have entered
Into an agreement to stand or fall
together on this issue, and rir
cumstances seem to be conspiring
in their favor.
It Jim happens that this prom
ises to be a tough year in serai-
lro ball throughout the state
with some of the smaller leagues
disbanding. One of these la the
Mid-Columbia league, the leading
inwii. in which were The Dalles
and Bend.
These two overgrown villages
are aching to get into any league
that includes Eugene and Salem
It's not certain that they will
be admitted, but the difficulty
has been that Salem. Eugene and
Albany are the only cities in the
valley that support baseball
strongly enough to permit of the
class of ball that they have been
playing. So for several years
past, these .cities have competed
n leacues largely controlled by
Portland Interests.
Unluckily, it has never tran
spired that all three of them coUK
h. admitted to the same circuit
a fact that haas cut down the in
terest. because intercity rivalry 1
th. Mr mainsnrin that make?
semi-pro ball a paying proposition
But with Bend and The Dalle
ready to Join, this difficulty
largely overcome.
True. Bend and The Dalles are
a lonz war from Salem, but Bend
! almri a close to Eugene a;
Salem is. 5 The expense of th
long Jump can be overcome, it i
believed, by bringing these team
to the valley for two garner t
ach trip, at two of the other
cities involved, and thus makin
the trips less frequent. On a tw
games about schedule, each of th
other teams would have to invad
rmral Oregon but once, some
thing they have been doing each
year anyway.
At any rate. Manager Leo Ed
ward 4 of the Salem Senators, and
Billy Relnhart. head of the bal'
cluh at Eugene, shook hands yes
terday on the proposition tha
they stick together on the issue
of getting into the same league
and "Red" Rupert of Albany har
already agreed to the same stand,
so Portland teams will have tr
falll In line or play their own
little one-old-cat in their own back
yards.
A meeting will be held here in
the near future with formation of
a new league as the purpose. The
date Is expected to be f)t this

nay never fight again."
Rickard said he based hie an-
noucement of Dempsey s retire

champion that "he thinks it not
advisable to engage in any further
contests."
He expressed regret at Demp
sey's "parsing."
The next title bout, the promo

Tunney received the announce

Asked what he expected to do

Jack Dempsey eaid today that
he was sure of only one thing re
garding his connection with the
fight game and that was that he
never would lose his academic in
terest In the prize ring.
On this phase of the hoary dis
cussion aa to whether the former
heavyweight champion ever again
would climb through the ropes as
a contender, he had a definite
pronouncement, to make, to-wit:
"Whether I fight again or not.
I'll always keep up my connection
with the fight game."
Tex Rickard's announcement to
day at Miami Beach, Fla., that
Dempsey was through, did not
seem to strike the former boss of
the heavyweights ae surprising, he
said:
"That's fine, so far as I am con
cerned. It's OK with me. As
things look now, I may never fight
again. The injury to my eye mus
cles is not serious but it may keep
me out of the ring forever. If It
clear up. I'll be willing to fight
again.
"I told Rickard that I could
not be in shape for auy fight In
June, so it is all right with me
if he has made other arrange
ments."
The ex-champion alao said that
it was "all right" with Mrs. Demp

"She never interferes with my

there for February 9. Waterman,
wired that his pugilist would be
unable to make the February S
date here.
This sudden shift threw the lo
cal plans for the February 8 card
into a Jumble, from which Match
maker Plant hae not yet extricated
himself, i. e . a main event has not
yet been arranged.
That there will be a fight here
next Wednesday however, la cer
tain. Plant declared, and he may
be able to announce the mam
event today.
Whatever it is. it is bound to be
shaded by the Gordon-Bayes fight
which will attract more attention
in the northwest than the Hell-
man-Ravea mill here two weeks
ago. Gordon is a top-noicner as
hie slam-bang victory over Vio
Tendler a year ago demonstrated
to Salem fans, and Bayes always
pleases. Bayea is the greatest
drawing card Salem ever had In
the pugilistic field. Even matched
with a dumb bell Bayes draws a
good house, but againet a top
notcher. the gate Is always big
Both Bayes and Gordon are boys
who believe in giving the fans
their money's worth.
Battling Slim may be one of the
main-eventers here February S. if
Plant can ,-flnd a suitable boy to
match him up with.

wrestlers were "Spud" Rowland,
who showed a lot of gameness by
staying with Scott of Corvallls for
18 minutes and winning a draw.
McEldowney of the O. N. S. put
up a determined battle for IS
minutes, holding his man to a
standstill. Smith was thrown
after a stiff tussle, but his oppon
ent conceded him to be the tough

and predicted with a little more
training Smith would be a top
notcher in the mat game.
Hite, 142 pounder for the norm
al, lost his bouth at the very last
minute. ; Lehman wrestled the
150 pound state wrestling cham
pion of Oregon and held his own

"Bob" Loucks was thrown by a

i. great effort.
Due to the lack of experience
