Local Favorite Agrees to
'Make 126 Pounds to Show
Fans He's Game
Boy, bring a couple of buckets
of water and, tbree oil cans. There
are times vwhen a news story Is
so hot It burns up the typewriters
and the type metal, anfthla is one
Of 'em.
Phil Bayes and Teddy Fox have
been matched to fight in Salem at
the Oregon theatre on the night
Of Thursday. November 22.
This is the scrap that fans in
8alem, Independence, Dallas. Mon
mouth and all the other cities and
hamlets in the middle Willamette
ralley have been on pins and
needles to see for over a year
Since Teddy Fox climbed up to
the strata of fistic society where
it began to be suggested that he
might be able to stay in the same
ring with Bayes and here,it is,
just around the corner. .....
Sign Contracts .Today'
Contracts haven't yet been
signed, so there might be a slip,
put on Tuesday, John Orr, Fox's
manager, paid Salem a visit and
conferred with Bayes. The upshot
was that Salem's favorite ailt
thrower agreed to make 126
pounds, the w.eight that Orr has
been holding out for; and. so un
less somebody changes his mind,
the' fight is on for Thursday the
22nd.
This scrap will be the headliuer
of the1 first fight card held at the
Oregon theatre, and Matchmaker
Plant is confident even at this
early date "that there won't be
enough seats to go around, even
though there are as many seats
there as at the armory, where
fights have been held in the past.
Seats Already Sought
- The fact is that on Tuesday, be
fore news that the fight had been
arranged was really supposed to
have leaked out. Plant had already
been besieged for 30 tickets, and
the red hot fans who wanted
them were put down for, reserva
tions. Announcements as. to the pre
liminaries will b e forthcoming
later, and the prelims will be
good, but they wouldn't have to bej
anything but shadow, boxing to
make this card a success.
OF OLD HEN
A bootlegger's convention will
be organized in Salem, F. A. Hax
eltine, federal prohibition investi
gator, told members of the Salam
Kiwanis club at their noon lunch
eon Tuesday.
He said that the may-r would
not have to present the keys of
ttiecity to the bootleggers for the
reaadn that "the average bootleg
ger is a criminal to start with, and
usually provided wlta skeleton
key or jimmy."
The bootleggers will be invited
by J. O. Johnson of Portland, spe
cial United States attorney, and
given a chance to make offers in
compromise of penalties asserted
against them under an old rev
enue act. The old revenue penalty
Is as high as $2000 for sale and
1 1000 for manufacture. Their or
iginal purpose was to protect the
liquor trade. The penalties have
never bean repealed and are now
to be levied on all bootleggers
who have beem convicted in the
state courts. The federal courts
have always assessed the penal
ties. Haxeltine said, but the state
and. justice courts have neglected
It. and Hazeltlne has bean as
signed the job looking up the neg
lected parties and reporting thsra
for collection.

rvHESE may be bitter days for
I the heavyweight pugs, but
not so for the welters. The
lighter division Is enjoying a pop
ularity is hasn't experienced for
years and its ranks are crammed
with talent.
First off. there is the champ,
Mr. Samuel Lazarro, known to
the trade as Joe Dundee. Joe
isn't so hot and may not be the
best man at his weight, but he's
pretty fair, as good as some of
the champs in the other divisions
excepting such fellows as Tommy
Loughran. Sammy Mandell and
Mickey Walker.
And then there Is Jackie Fields!
There's the boy! Jackie has been
coming along like a house afire,

THE probabilities are that there
will be several familiar faces
missing from the lineup of
the St. Louis Cardinals, former
world's champions, when the bell
rings for the 1929 National league
battle royal.
' - Various and assorted trade
deals are being whispered about,
which. If consumated, will send
at least five regular members of
the 1928 team to other cities.
This in addition to the anticipated
change in managers.
The five men looked to wear
new uniforms are:
Ray Blades, Art Reinhart,
George Harper, Earl Smith and
perhaps Taylor Douthit.
Blades, Douthit and Reinhart
were members .of the world's
championship team of 1926,
Blades and Douthit In the out
field, of course, and Reinhart as
a member of the hurling staff.
George Harper was - obtained
from the Giants last season to
prove quite a thorn in the side of
John McGraw much of the season.
Smith was obtained from the
Pittsburgh Pirates, where he had
been the top catcher.
The anticipated departure of
Douthit and Blades Indicates an
intention, quite obviously, to re
vamp the Cardinal outfield for
coming campaigns. Blades has
suffered long with a weak knee.
Douthit's hitting has been un
certain. Harper is nearing the
end of his big league days.
The changes made In the Car
dinal lineup will depend, some
what, of course, on who is man
aging the team.
It Is generally accepted that
Manager Bill McKechnie will not
be retained. And the most like
ly candidate to succeed Bill. is
Manager Frank Snyder, former
big league backstop, who won his
spurs as manager of the Houston
team of the Texas league last sea
son. The Houston club is a Cardinal
farm.
And In connection with the pos
sible promotion of Snyder comes
an interesting story.

er, another welter jt consider
able ability.
The welter weight is just right
for Fields. Fighting in a light
er division wasn't po good for
him. but since he moved up Into
Dundee's realm he has proven he
has a' right for a crack at the
title.
Young Jack Thompson is an
other lad who looms big in the di
vision. Young Jack's first show
ing against Dundee was so con
vincing that he is sure of an even
tual return bout with the champ,
whose master he has proven to be.
Other welters of prominence
are Ace Hudkins, Tommy Free
man, iiiiano Martinez, ana a
number of others, including Clyde
Hull. Mushy Callahan and Willie
Harmon.
Yes, 6ir, it certainly is a great
division something which the
boxing game, now In the dol
drums, needs and needs badly.
Sam Breadon, owner of the
Cardinals, has been watching
Snyder's work closely. Breadon
has long been an admirer of Sny
der as a player and student of the
game. .
The uncertainty regarding Mc
Kechnle's future with the Cardin
als existed before the world's ser
ies, which say the sudden collapse
of the St. Louis team. It is said
that Breadon was considering
Snyder as a possible successor to
McKechnie toward the close of the
season. About this time Snyder.
Ignorant of the fact that a better
job loomed in the offing if he
stuck with Breadon's baseball
staff, became peeved at things in
Houston and walked out on the
club.
Thereby unwittingly just about
easing himself out of the new
job. The disagreement was
smoothed over later, however,
and if Breadon decides to make
change and Install Snyder the
ruckus at Houston may be for
gotten. Half of the wajra claims against
the Baker White Pine Lumber
company, which went into receiv
ership early last fall, was paid
Monday to 350 workmen of the
company. Checks were Issued for

Dempsey Will Return to
Ring, Is Belief Expressed
By Observers '
.. j .. .
By EDWARD J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK. Not. 13- (AP)
Two wealthy business men sat
down todar to discuss through
the smoke of mild Havanaa ev
erything pertaining to the fight
nwn Avmnt th rhtn(m of one
of them. Jack Dempsey. return
ing to active competition. That
was saved for this evening, wnen
the host. Tex Rickard. took the
former heavyweight king to din
ner.
The boss of Madison Square
Garden, tanned to about half the
complexion of his cigar,, came
back to his desk today after a six
weeks vacation in Florida. His re
turn was the signal for the prompt
appearance of Dempsey and re i
val of all the rumors of a new
comeback attempt to be staged by
the old Manassa mauler next sum
mer.
Talk Lasts Tw Hours
For more than two hours,
Dempsey, in a most congenial and
receptive mood, talked of fights
and fighters with Riekard. and a
host of newspapew men. He. dis
cussed, the advantages of Florida
as a winter training ground, an
alyzed the fighting qualities of Pa
oilno Uzcudun and t greed the
Spaniard would be an Ideal oppon
ent 4n the event of a comeback.
The former champion was care
ful to avoid mention of his oft
reiterated statement that he was
"through with the ring forever."
He appeared restless, anxious to
find n outlet for the nervous en
ergy that keeps him continually
"on the go." When he had left
the room, Rickard smiled a be
nign smile and said:
"A few more months and the
big fellow will be begging for a
fight. He just can't stay inactive."
Comeback Discussed Next
While the business of todaj, on
the surface at least, was to cement
again the friendly relations that
have had much to do with the mil
lions both promoter and boxer
have made together, Rickard said
the business of a comeback would
be discussed at tha dinner tonight.
But, in accordance'wlth the canny
policy of getting thja most from his
publicity assets, he said there
would be no definite announce
ment for "several days" at least.
The promoter said he had but
two courses open in the event that
Dempsey did decide to return to
the ring. One would be the an
nouncement that the old champion
twice ithe victim of the retired
Gene Tunney, was ready and will
ing to fight the winner of the win
ter elimination tournament in a
title battle next summer. His oth
er plan would call for withhold
ing of any announcement unttl
the winner and his suitability as
as opponent fonADempsey, was de
termined in the elimination pa
rade. Jack In Good Shape
Dempsey, in fine shape after a
week of hard training in a local
gymnasium, said he was only 10
pounds over weight; at the mo

Both the Maestro. Rickard. and
Dempsey the greatest ring attrac
tion of all time, believe that the
present lull in the i heavyweight
situation is temporary and awalU
only the appearance of an iron
fisted youngster to again make
possible million dollar gates and
parses. Rickard believes that Jack
still has the power to Jura im
mense numbers , of fight j fans to
the turnstiles. Dempsey smiles at
that but was ready to demand at
least $750,000 for his services
once the promoter opened nego
tiations, r
The - well informed about the
Garden believe that Dempsey will
again dot battle, probably next
summer at one of the New York
ball parka or in one of the large
Canadian cities fairly close to the
American border. Jack is believed
anxious to fight Uscudun, a swing
ing puncher who would bring the
battle to him and save the wear
and tear on the legs that crumpled
in the famous seventh! round
against Tunney in Chicago.
Money in the proper quantities,
they say, will bring the meeting
about.

"The best team won." That was
the statement of Coach "Spec"
Keene of the Willamette univer
sity football team on his return to
Salem Tuesday night with the!
squad of 22 players which made
the trip to Boise and lost Monday
to College of Idaho, last year's!
champions. 44 to 6.
The Willamette team fought
hard all through the game, and
not a man "laid down." Coach
Keene said. A lot of things went
wrong, beginning before the game
started when Garnie Cranor, Will
amette's most i dependable half
back, dropped unconscious while
catching punts Ijn practice. He was
not able to play. The cauae of
his collapse was not learned.
Injnries; Numerous
Injuries came -thick and . fast,
and Coach Keene had to use every
one of the 22 men he had In uni
form McMuilin. fullback, and Ac
kerman, center, were the only
one6 who lasted through the game,
and McMuilin played with his Hp
cut so badly that it required five
stitches to close the wound. An
other reason that so many sub
stitutes were used, was that the
players, possibly on account of the
altitude, became exhausted after
about ten minutes In the game.
Charles DePoe, quarterback.
suffered a severe "charley horse"
which may keep: him out of Satur
day's game with Pacific university,
Curtis French, ;half, sprained an
ankle, and every man on the squad
was badly battered, but all of
them except perhaps DePoe, will
be in shape again by Saturday,
Coach Keene believes.
Toughest of Year
It was the hardest game that
the Willamette team has played
this year, the coach said, not ex
cepting those against University
of Washington and University of
Oregon.
Despite the score In Monday's
game, Keene doe3 not believe Col
lege of Idaho will be able to de
feat Whitman at Walla Walla this
week-end.

COMING ON FRIDAY
Several times this season local
football fans have been disap
pointed in their hopes -that some
opponent Vould give the Salem
high school eleven sufficient com
petition to bring ont its real
strength but this coming Friday
their hopes are due to be realised
to advance predictions.
- On this occasion . the local
elevtn meets Corvallis high, its"
strongest rival for the Willamette
valley championship. The college
town team has been giving a good
account of itself all season. It is
true that on Monday it played a 7
to 7 tie with Albany high, which
had previously lost to Salem, but
the reports stated that Corvallis
outplayed Albany and threatened
the visitors goal repeatedly.
Saieui Tiigh was not pressed
hard in Monday's game, and there
fore will not be weakened for the
Friday game due to the short in
terval between games. None of
I he Salem players was injured suf
ficiently to handicap the team for
I this crucial game.
