BOXER
MAY MEET 111
Who fight here April 18?
Matchmaker Harry Plant of the
Salem boxing commission is now:
busy trying to match the hard hit-j
ting Walter Cleghorn of Seattle.!
who won a referee's decision overj
Wesley Hobbs in their ten round
main event here sometime ago.
with a gentleman fighter named
Buck Holley of Los Angeles, who
is well known in the fight world.
The fight will be certain if this
date open on Cleghorn's sched
ule. Both these men are good. Sa
lem fight fans know what to ex
pect of Cleghorn, all agreeing that
he is a tough egg. Holley's past
record is "nuff said for lain, so
what is there to expect? Nothing
but a tough battle from start to
finish with four gloves continual
ly socking heads and bodies.
Buck is an old hand in the box
ing game, knowing it from A to Z.
Twice ha he retired from the ring
only to 'com eback and don the
gloves again. His first retirement
took place immediately after his
brother was killed from a blow to
the head in one of his bouts, which
was about five years ago. Again
he pulled the gloves off the pegs
and entered the ring, where he
toppled over some of the strong
est opponents in the country.
Later he retired for the second
time when h eopened up a gym
nasium and physical education
school at Stockton, Calif. Now for
the third time he will brush the
cobwebs off his gloves and return
to the arena, his first bout prob
ably being with Cleghorn in this
city.
The Los Angeles battler fought
Tommy Loughran to a draw three
years ago: lost a decision to Leo
Lomskl. now Loughran's most fa
vorable opponent; battled Harry
Grebb when he w6 champion, and
lost by decision and tangled with
the Mexican idol, Bert Colima.
Holley fights under these con
ditions: If the public isn't satis
fied that he put up a good fight
with Cleghorn. his purse goes to
ward charity.
He Is every iuch a gentleman
doesn't smoke, chew, drink oi
swear. Just lately Buck broke re
lationships with a gymnasium in
this state because its devotees had
a tendency to ue profane lan
guage.
He is now in Portland where he
expects to open a health school,
guaranteed t ogive results. This
was demonstrated Wednesday
night by Eddie Graham, who has
been taking lessons from Buck
lately while in Portland. Eddi
was the talk of the town, last
night, everyone wondering what
had started him off. fighting
"Whistle", of Albany in real
championship form.
Matchmaker Harry is now wait
ing ror the return of a telegram
from Cleghorn, to see if it will he
possible for him to come on that
date.
FIGHT PROMOTION
By Nick Zylstra
Now that the big Willie Gordon
vs. Phil Bayes fight is a thing of
the past and all is well, except the
fighters who may be blessed with
one or two sore spots, suppose we
turn our attention to the finan
cial side of the bout.
Matchmaker Harry Plapt, of the
Salem boxing commission reports
the following figures on Wednes
day night's bout. After all ex
pensee are paid out, figure up and
see how much is profited by the
promoters.
Ticket sales at the bout amount
ed to 1698.50. Expenses were as
follows: Gordon received $236;
Bayes received $150; cost of pre
liminary men amounted to $120;
rent of armory $60; advertising
$75; referee's salary $25; cost of
new gloves. $10; ticket sellers re
ceived $20; making a total ex
pense of $695. Then the expenses
such as tor setting up and taking
down the ring, printing of ticket,
cost of laces, rosin, lights, adver
tising In papers and printing of
canvas signs, etc. By subtracting
the total amount of expenses from
the total gate receipt, you find
that money had to be added by

the promoter to make ends meet
in the last fight.
It costs Matchmaker Plant a
great sum of money to get fight
ers like Gordon. Cleghorn, Hobbs
and "Buck" Holley to come to Sa
lem. They are men who fight main
events in some of the largest cities
on the Pacific coast and every
fight fan should eupport such
fights in this city 100 per cent.
Salem is gradually becoming one
of the bet little fight towns in
the state, and for its population,
it ranks very high.
Now' Mr. and Mrs. Fight Fan,
how's to get on the jazz wagon
and back the next proposed fight
featuring Buck Holley of Lo An
geles and Walter Cleghorn of Se
attle to be staged here Wednesday
night, April 18.
ATHLETES FINALLY
After some BOO goslings passed
over the til y a few days ago, head
ing north, the weather in this vi
cinity has cleared up enough to
enable local athletes to get out on
the track and ball diamond for
their initial workout outdoors.
Coach "Spec" Keene, of Wil
lamette, ushered his Bearcats out
of the gymnasium, their training
quarters for the past three weeks,
and had them go through a light
workout on the diamond, the first
outdoor practice at the university
this season.
If the weather continues to be
favorable, the Willamette ball
men will get down to strenuous
practice within a few days, as they
have already done much light
practice in the gymnasium. Coach
Keene has glveu his men daily
practice in sliding, bunting, pivot
ing, and how to handle the bat.
Pitchfrs and catchers have been
tossing the ball to and fro for the
pdst six weeks and are now get
ting into fairly good condition,
ready for strenuous workouts on
the field. The new men in the box
are showing up o,uite well so far
this sea6on which is rather en
couraging to the coach for the
team started with only one letter
man returning.
Willamette's first game this
season will be with the Liufield
college nine. April 17, which gives
the squad only 11 days in which
to get into condition. This con
test will be at McMinnville. The
20th they will migrate to Corval
lis where they will play the Oregon
Staters in a two game series;
Prospects for a winning ball team
at the university look pretty fav-i
orable so far. although its strength f
can better be determined after it
has competed in a few games. e
Willamette tracksters also took
advantage of the nice weather,
and were out 100 per cent last
night, throwing the discus, shot
and javelin, working out In the
sprints and distance runs, and
broad jump.
They have been out occasionally
between showers, and are now get
ting fairly well along in their re
spective events. The Bearcats
should set a few northwest con
ference records this season, and
have a fair chance of taking the
title.
AMARITXO. Texas. Apr. 5.
(AP) Pat Demarr of Ios Angeles
was the first of the transcontinen

covered the 1.189 miles from Los
