Eugene Scrapper Uncorks Plenty M Salem Lad MORE ring strategy than had ever been uncorked by one i fighter before in a Salem ring was trotted out by Chuck Borden of -Eugene, to win an easy decision from Jack Kent worth of Salem in the main event of a rip-snorting program -at the armory Friday night . - vv c Borden made Kentworth tie himself in all -sorts of cur ious knots in an effort ta hit an effective blow; The home fans kept hoping all through that Kentworth would manage it, but he never did. They were sure if Kentworth landed sauarely just once, it would be curtains for the former Los Angeles scrapper. That began to look like a doubtful promise before the fight had gone tar. but It never was tested ont decisively. ' But Borden hit Kentworth dosens of time, and in numerous place, bat mostly In the midsec tion. It was easy to tell, from Kentworib's expression, that those nppereuts hurt. Kentworth Goes Down Foot Times Four times Kentworth bit the canvas, nd the last time, in the ninth," no appeared to be out tor rood, out be straggled to- bis feet at "nine" and the bell saved nun another knockdown. ' That time Borden landed one-two-three. -on the Jaw, in the stomach and on the jaw again. Borden's manager said Kentworth was down 18 sec onds. Referee Harry Levy not starting to count until Borden was In bis own corner. . " . Kentworth did wonders to stay In the ring ten rounds with a wizard of Borden's calibre, and the fans wiU continue to back .bun up, though not-in another main event fdr a while. Roy Jacobs of Eugene' won a decision from Bobby La Marr of Portland, in' the semi-final- La Marr bad the advantage in weight and experience, but Jacobs out- gamed him, did all the leading and landed most of the telling punches. RasscU Green Shows Improvement -'. Russell Green put np a game fight, showing vast improvement over bis previous appearances, and earned a draw with Orlando Farmer of Eugene. . Cliff Wettel of Jefferson got a taste of bis own medicine when Bob Kellogg bad him groggy in the third round after Wetzel bad chased1 the local boy around the ting" for two rounds. Kellogg lacked confidence; he seemed to fear "Wetzel's pile driver' blows, for which there was reason; but in the end it developed that Kel logg was faster and a better judge of distance. Bob Kelly knocked Carl Trick down in the first IS seconds of their fight and for the rest o'f that round. Kelly hit Trick with every thing "but the ring posts; but at the opening of the second round. Trick landed once back of Kelly's ear and the Irishman had to be carried to the dressing room. Missions Change Nickname to Reds SAN FRANCISCO, April S.

HOLOTHEAlQ cakj nr?; OLYMPICS TO STAY PUT Matter i$ C i vie, Not International Affair LOS A N G E By ALAN J. GOULD .Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 6 (AP) In spite of recurrent suggestion to the .contrary, there is no prospect nor, at present, even the remotest possibility that the Olympic games of 1932 will be shifted from their chosen site of Los Angeles. Although this award was made and officially accepted several years ago, the impression has be come rather widespread that the games merely, were given to the United States as a nation and that the bidding for the athletic car nival is still open. Chicago and Baltimore entered the lists and now Philadelphia Is a seeker, on the ground that "protests" of for eign, countries against traveling so far. may. force the games' away from the California city. . 'The, fact is. however, that the Olympics were. awarded specifical ly, to Los. Angeles and that there Is no. chance : of their being held anywhere, else- unless Loa Angeles voluntarily gives them up. - Far from having the slightest thought of doing so, the . California . city already has made big strides in formulating plans for the interna tional event. Its representatives were -at Amsterdam last summer. absorbing atmosphere, informa tion and forming contracts. There usually is some alarm', in advance of the Olympics, quite a little doubt existed as to Holland's ability to conduct the games. The Dutch experienced temporary fi nancial difficulties, but in the end Amsterdam furnished as business like and adequate a setting for the 1928 events as any since the Swedes did so thorough a Job in 1312. And Holland reaped a tidy profit to boot. Each set of Olympics Is award ed, usually about six years In ad vance, to a specific city, not to a country to do with as It may see fit. Los Angeles, therefore, could not transfer the games to any oth er American ' city even It It was decided they could not be staged on the Pacific coast. The decision would go back to the international committee, which would consider the bids all over again. No award of the 1938 games has yet been made but Madrid, Berlin, and possibly Rome, will be among the foremost contend er Since track and field sports are the blue ribbon feature of the Olympics. It seems particularly ap propriate for Los Angeles and the Pacific coast to.be hosts. The far west has outstripped all other sec tions of the country in "light ath letics," as . Europeans caH them. Pacific coast teams have run off with the bnlk of national and In ternational championship honors. with Stanford, California and Sou thern California turning out a flock of stars. The far west's Olympic champions have included Paddock, Smitbson, Kelly, Houser, Barnes and King, not to overlook the fact that California has the Olympic championship crew and a school of swimming stars who have registered several dosen points for Uncle Samuel. The major league holdout wor ries are finally over, with Paul Waner In the fold, but managers and owners alike will sleep better nights If they know their athletes are not trying to outguess the auto traffic on the roads.

THREE TEAMS TIED First Methodist and-Presbyter ians moved into a three cornered tie' with the Evangelical quint for first place in the Sunday school basketball league Friday night by virtue of -their wins. They will meet Monday night and the Evan gellcal team will play Calvary Baptist. , The Methodists defeated the First Christian five 19 to IU in a game none too sure for the win ners. The Presbyterians won eas ily from the four-man Jason Lee team, 32 to 18. League rules re quire that a team must play with the men on hand regardless of a deficiency. A fifth member of the Jason Lee team turned-up near the end of the first quarter but was soon disqualified on fouls. Frultland took the third game 25 to 19 from Leslie M. E. CITY ASSESSMENTS E Assessment of downtown prop erty will not be undertaken for some time, in fact, this property will be the last handled by the as sessor's office according to Oscar Steelhammer who will personally make the canvass of the downtown district assisted by A." W,, Jones, deputy from the assessor's office. Both men are handling the resi dential district of Salem..' nv V The general assessment 'going on throughout the county will continue for several months, not all the deputies having yet receiv ed their books. One reason for this, says Steelhammer, lies in the fact that some of the rural dis tricts are not yet Accessible due tb muddy roads.
