THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1928 Senator Financing Problem Faced -1 ' ' " I - .- -I I IMIH I III I. HI I SaWI II WW I Ml I I II II! W DRAWS NIGH I EXGHECQUER EMPTY ' The uniforms are here and the 'players-are In sight, and nothing ' is lacking to put In the field an other Salem Senators baseball ream that will make thla city the renter of baseball Interest in Ore son except cold hard cash. That little item Is naturally pretty important, and backers of the. Senators are wondering a bit whether Salem wants' a winning baseball team enough to pungle np for ft, , J Some of them are getting a bit discouraged, since the season tick et sale has failed to produce any -staggering total as yet, but the truth is that the task of market ing these tickets hasn't been push ed very strenuously so far, and when somebody get them promi nently before the public, they are ' certain to go with a rush. Salem is rather behind some of the other cities in the Willamette alley league in starting a cam paign of financial backing for the ball team, however. Some of the smaller cities hare already raised funds to put their teams on a sound footing, and - Eugene is making a big campaign of it just at present. . One difficulty has been the weather; with skies overcast and rain falling in torrents, it has 'been pretty difficult to Tlsion -baseball seseon opening in a week or two. But the calendar says the league season opens Just two weeks from next Sunday, and there will be one game prior to that, according to present plans. The uniforms, by the way, are on display at Brown's sporting goods store. The Willamette Valley league will hold its final meeting before the opening of the season, next Monday at Eugene.

Both fighters are in the beat of condition, and working hard each day in preparation for one of the most important fights of their careers thus far, and each has his reasons to believe that he should win and will win. Matchmaker Harry Plant for the Salem boxing commission, re ceived a wire from Joe Water man, Gordon's amnager, stating that he was in Portland and that he and the young fighter had wit nessed the Dixon vs. Burns fight Tuesday night. He also stated that they would remain in Portland until Wednesday when they would leave for Salem. Gordon will work out dally in the Shamrock gymna sium, Portland. Si Flook of Mill City, the fight ing lad whom all crave to see In action, was in Salem yesterday and expressed a desire to meet the clever little Pee Wee Green of Portland again as a spclal event for the next bout. Matchmaker Plant is now trying to arrange for such a match if the Portland bat tler is willing or can come. If this bout is arranged, it will mean a real -bout for the preliminaries. and a fight which all fight fans' ....J A . 1 A l i"io ji auu icpreseui ine state of Oregon. The tournament will be held In Seattle this week end with some six teams competing. The Salem team will leave for Se attle Friday afternoon and expect to arrive Saturday morning. Men to make the trip are Lloyd Gregg, captain, N. Hillborn. B. Wright. C. Hill. Paul Acton, Rev. Ward, Dr. Barnitk, E. Richey, -B. Boise. Gleason. C. Lee. W. Nimeir, and Bob Boardman. They expect to return Sunday evening, and bring back the baron. The northwest tournament was won by the strong Portland team last year. The local ball tossers completely outclassed the same team this year to win the state tourney, which leads local volley ball fans to believe that the Cher rians will make a strong bid for the cup this year. HANDBALL TILTS DRAW ATTENTION The handball tournament which is being held in the "Y" handball courts this week and next is draw ing much interest. This tourney comes under class B which is com posed of handball aspirants just learning the game and those who do not get a chance to play regu larly. Two matches will be played Friday night, and then the conso lation matches for the losers will start next week. In this week's tilts, Don Young and N. Beaver defeated "Spec Keene and C. Marsters 21 to 11 and 21 to 16 respectively and Jim Young and F. Lynch defeated Louie Anderson and C. Stanley 21 to 15 and 21 to 16. It is expected that this tourna ment will develop some good new material, and promote more inter est in the game among local ath letes. TUNNEY EXPECTS TO GO TO SPAIN if , rrXitl BEACH. Fla..

Gene Tunney. world heavyweight light champion, pro bably will accept a royal invita tion to Spain in 1929 and incident ally stage an exhibition bout for King Alfonso, he announced here today. The champion said he planned to tour Europe next year and had tentatively accepted the Spanish king's invitation to appear at the Barcelona exposition in April 1929. "I have notified Marquis de Foronda. president of the expos! tion that I hope to be in Europe In 1929 and attend the Barcelona exposition at the invitation of King Alfonso." he said. "If noth ing Interferes with my present plans I will be pleased to box an exhibition bout there." INDOOR TRACK MEET TONIGHT A second Indoor track meet will be held in the YMCA gymnasium tonight, with the young men's di vision competing. The first one. held some time ago. aroused much interest, and it was decided by Bob Boardman, physical director at the "Y" to hold another meet.

CAMPBELL STOPS GEORGE TRENKLE SAN FRANCISCO, March. 28. (AP) Frankle Campbell, 176, of San Francisco, stopped George Trenkle, 176, of Los Angeles, In the fifth round of their 10 round match at National hall here to night. - - Trenkle's manager threw, the towel Into the ring after bis pro tege had been knocked down twice in that round. Lloyd Hahn, the lightning bolt from Boston, has already ordered his, Olympic outfit tor' next sum mer, which will consist of per spiration surrounded by a clout of dust. ' V - Coming Battle will look forward to. In their last scrap, the Mill City youth lost to the Portlander by a technical knockout. In this next bout Flook believes that he will put the Greene boy out In one of the first rounds. Due to the fact that the clever Georgia Dixon of Portland put the hard hitting Johnny Burna to sleep in the first round of their bout in Portland last night. It will be quite impossible to arrange for a Cleghorne vs. Dixon bout In this city. The Portland youth will now migrate to the larger cities and look for bigge'r ' and better coin boxes and compete with high class fighters, although no fighter could show him much better time than the battling Eskimo Indian. It would take more than a- $800 purse to draw the colored to Sa lem. At any rate. Matchmaker Har ry will secure a tough opponent for Cleghorn for a bout here in about three weeks. Cleghorn Is anxious to fight in this city again, and is willing to meet any one who the local matchmaker may se lect. After the Cleghorn mix, a bout will be arranged between the win ner of the Gorden vs. Bayes fight and some other high class fighter. Thus local fight fans have sever al good fights to look forward to for the next two months. The fight season In this city will close about June 10, and will open again about the first of September. NEW YORK, March 28. (AP) Leo Lomski who bounced Tom my Loughran off the floor twice one night in an effort to win the light heavyweight championship completed training today for his 10 round match with Joe Skeyra of Dayton, In Madison Square Garden Friday night. The two foremost contenders for the 175 pound crown will work only light ly the remainder of the week. The 24 year old, rugged youth from Aberdeen, Wash., is count ing the days until opportunity again tosses him In the ring with the clever champion. This time, Lomski says, the right hand that dropped Loughran twice for counts of nine in the first round will floor the Philadelphian again and this time for as long as any one cares to stand around and count.

Decisive, So Routh, Ross Both On Program Members ot the senior class at the "Salem high school believe a one-vote margin is not sufficient to decide such an important mat ter as which of two -boys will be the class' choice to participate in the commencement program. Accordingly, Jack Routh, who was elected by one vote last Mon day, and Mllo Ross, who fell one vote short of receiving the honor, will both sppear for the class. Tuesday after school J. C. Nel son, principal, wss accosted by several students who. declared the vote too close to represent the feeling of the class. The principal had thought so ever since the bal lots were counted, so it wss agreed If a petition were signed by 10 seniors to have both boys on the program. It would be brought about. Yesterday, evening a petition with 72 names affixed thereto was handed to the principal. It is probable Routh will give the farewell speech for the class and Ross will talk upon some ap propriate topic, although final plans are in the hands of Ralph Bailey, who will coach them in their speeches. t Bailey, debate coach, is already well familiar with any "polishing" the boys will need, having handled them both as members of the two debating teams.

S CLOSING MULTNOMAH REGIS TRATION BOOKS OrPOSEI The state supreme court Wed nesday heard arguments of attor neys in manamus proceedings fil ed by Mrs. Clara M. Roy of Port land, to compel Joseph H. Bever idge, Multnomah county clerk, to reopen the registration books which were closed there on March 9. The registration books were closed by the county clerk under a state- law which provides that registration ot voters shall be sus pended 30 days prior to an elec tion. A special election will be held in Portland April 9 to pass on the proposed merger of the proper ties of the Portland Electric com pany and the Northwestern Elec tric company. Attorneys indicated that the suit wag brought primarily to keep me registration books open until 30 days prior to the primary elec tion, and that the merger merely was incidental to the proceeding. it. was contended that in case the registration book closed until after the. special elec- liuu a large number : oi voters would be deprived of the nrlvt- lege of registering for the primary election. i Although not a direct nnrtv In the mandamus nrnrrriinr h W V. - V- foriiana JSlectrlc romcanv and tne rsorthwestern Electric ny were represented by "eys. , - MIDI e New First National Bank Building .
