- Walter Cleghorn. the only Eskimo
Indian In the fight ring. Hodds
arrived In Salem last night at 5
o'clock and had a little three
round workout in the armory soon
after his arrival to get the kinks
jut of his muscles. He is in the
oei t of condition and id very con
fident he will defeat the Seattle

Biddy Bishop, manager, arrived
in Portland with Cleghorn last
night and will journey to Salem
today, arriving at about noon.
Both fighter will weigh In at
close to 160 pounds at 2 o clock
this afternoon. Cleghorn declared
that he never was In better shape,
and believes that he will defeat
the Portland fighter via a kayo.
Salem boxing fans have had a
chance to see Wes Hobba in action.
ffhey saw him take on Bill El-
j.ings worth, stop him In less tnan
tone minute of the first round,

khe boat waa continued by agree
ment, the second knockout came
in the fourth round.
They are going to see Hobbs,
mho is a great fighter, go against
jt far tougher opponent tonight at
-the armory.
Walter Cleghorn of Seattle is
'far more experienced than Ellings
jworth, and is a tougher fellow.
!w h&a fouxht In Portland a num-
jer of times, and always given a
'good account of himself.
Cleghorn is an Eskimo, but
Moesn't look It In the ring. He
i-ias been in Seattle the greater
jart of his life, and learnea io
. jox there. Walter waa so well
.thought of that when the celebrat

Sam Langford, the Boston "Tar
Baby" came west, he was given
.the match with the dusky fighter.

Statesman's Sport Page
Names Boxer; It Sticks
This is letting the public in on
a trade secret, which Is probably!
unwise, to say the least; but it's
too good to keep.
A few weeks ago there was go
ing to be a fight program at the
armory, and Matchmaker Harry
Plant gave out the names of his
participants, but there was one
boy from Albany whose name
Harry didn't have. He promised
to get it later in the evening.
A Statesman sports writer left
the space blank and turned in the
story. That wouldn't do. so Just
to fill In the space, the city editor
thought of a name a' random and
wrote it In. The name was
"Harry Savage."
Harry Plant forgot to call up
the office and supply the name,
and the story went through. Most
Holm and Taylor Douthlt to alter
nate with any one or two of them
and Danny Clark, who has had
enough experience to play accept
able ball. And among the Roches
ter and Houston club candidates
McKechnle has Homer Peel and
Johnny Martin.
Incldentally'McKechnle has an
unusual list of gardeners In that
the only left-handed hitter in the
group at camp Is Howard William
son, from the Rochester club.
The apparent return of Lester
Bell to his old stride gives Mc
Kechnie his regular Infield again
Jim Bottomley, Frank Frisch,
Tommy Thevenow and Lester Bell
with the wise old Rabbit Maran
vllle. Specs Toporcer and Heinle
Schuble. the youngster who was
grabbed from the Danville club
last season, as utility men. Mc
Kechnie will carry all three of the
latter through the season.
Bob O'Farrell, relieved of the
managerial worries, will devote all
his time to catching this season
and so far has felt no return of
the lame shoulder and the bum
thumb that handicapped him last
season while he was trying to car
ry on where Rogers Hornsby left
off.
Frank Gibson, veteran backstop
who relieved O'Farrell last season,
has departed to manage the San
Antonio club, one of the Cardinal
farms.-Which means that Manager
Bill probably will carry both Vir
gil Davis, obtained from Buffalo,
and another youngster named
Mancuso. Mr. Mancuso may lack
experience as a catcher, but he
has a good whip and so far hasn't
been baffled by big league pitch
ing. Ororer Cleveland Alexander
says he's ready. And McKechnle
says "it's a hundred to one right
now that Alex will pitch the open
ing game."
Bill Sherd! and Jess Haines
helped Alex carry the burden last
season. The three of them turned
in a total of 62 victories, while los
ing but 22, which is close to a
.667 average.
The failure of Flint Rhem to
step along wJth this trio was
what hurt the Cards last season,
and now that Flint has been signed
to a new contract and carries no
ills, he ought to produce. He won
but 1 0 games last season. Had he
won seven or eight more he might
have more than equalised the han
dicaps suffered throngh the Injury
to Blades and Hafey's troubles.

city editors would have cussed
blue hlaxes, but that of course
would never do in The Statesman
news room.
The next day an afternoon
paper carried the fight program,
and the Statesman staff chortled
with glee to see that the afternoon
paper had copied the mistake.
But that night "Harry SaTage"
appeared at the armory and
fought Gjiy Hickmn. winning a
four-round decision.
Last week "Harry Savage" ap
peared in his own home town and
won another fight.
And tonight he will fight at the
armory again-
The question resolves itself into
this; is the city editor a clair
voyant, or is he a godfather? At
any rate, he "named a winner."

from the Spartanburg, S. C, club;
Harold Smith from Houston, and
Harold Haid, from Rochester,
Fred Frankhouse, from Houston,
and Al Grabowski. Rochester boy
and no relation to the catching
Grabowski, complete the list.
Sylvester Johnson, a flash and
then a fizzle with Detroit Tigers
also comes up via Rochester, In a
hopeful mood, but with his future
much In doubt.
Now from this group McKechnle
will select enough men to give
him at least eight pitchers when
the final parting time comes.
Rhem and Reinhart are fixtures,
of course. Littlejohn and Frnnk
house are the next beat bets, and
then, taking a flyer, one would
pick Johnson.

DAVE SHADE SENT
E
CHICAGO. Mar. 20- (AP)
Dave Shade, the San Francisco
middleweight defended his reputa
tion as a boxer before the Illinois
state athletic commission today.
Shade was ordered to explain
what appeared to be unsatisfactory
showing In his match with Del
Fontaine of Winnipeg, claimant of
the Canadian middleweight title,
last night. Members of the com
mission believed Shade might have
finished his opponent with the re
sult that payment of his purse was
held up.
The coast boxer, however, con
vinced the commissioners that in
his last 88 bouts ' he had only
scored two knockouts, that he did
not grant Fontaine favors and
that he gave his best efforts.
After questioning Fontaine, Ed
die Purdy, the referee, and oth
ers. Shade's purse was released.
COLONIALS EYE
NATIONAL MEET
The Washington nigh school
basketball team returned to Port
land about Sunday noon, in the
height of its glory and in posses
sion of the state basketball trophy
which it won at the tourney here
last week end.
Now the players' eyes are fo
cused on the possible trip to Chi
cago to compete in the national
basketball tournament, which is
held there annually. A recent rul
ing by the athletic association
stating that no team of Oregon
would be sent bade to Chicago,
does not apply to the Colonials, as
they are not members of the state
association. It Is believed by
many basketball authorities that
the Washington team would make
a strong bid for the national hon
ors. It is one of the best basket
ball teams ever turned out in the
state. Its entry into the national
meet is yet undecided.

Now that the state high school
basketball tournament has ended,
and the basketball apparel tuck

fan. the crack of the starter s
gun. the crunch of spiked shoes
as they hit the cinders, and the
thud of the discus and shot as
they hit the soil, will now be
heard in Salem as the high schdol
and university athletes prepare
for the coming track meets.
The'WiHamette track team will
see the return of four lettermen
around whom Coach Lestle Sparks
may build his winning team this
season. Two of the returning
stripers are distance men, one can
be ceunted on to handle the discus
and shot, and the fifth to throw
the javelin.
The two distance men who
showed up exceptionally well last
season, are WTillis Hathaway, who
won second place honors in the
two mile run in the northwest
conference meet last year, and
Kenneth McCormick, who earned
his letter in the mile race last
year, never having participated in
athletics before that time.
In the field events. Willard
Ruch, champion javelin thrower
of the conference last season, and
Henry Oberson, discus heaver and
shot putter, will return.

the strength of the Willamette

Dual track meets have been
scheduled with Chemawa, Pacific
university and Linfield college,
and Willamette will also take part
In the northwest track tourna
ment. Due to shortage of funds,
the local university relay team
will not participate in the Wash
ington meet.
Prospects for another winning
track team at Salem high school
look rather favorable this season.
The red and black tracksters won
the state title last season, and
things which have been accom
plished can again be did.
Five lettermen. Temple, Smith,
Barnard, Blaco and Lloyd will re
turn this season to fill a large gap
In the high school team. With
the return of these stripers, Salem
high should place high in this
year's meets. Blaco specializes in
the 440, 8 80, the javelin and the
relays, placing high in each of
these last year. Lloyd Is holder
of the state high school track

lifting himself in the air 20 feet
