Bobby Ambrose and Villa in
Draw Bout Also; Buddy .
Beats his man
Anmla FnestaTof San Francis
co and Bobby Mars, Filipino boy
tit Portland, showed the : meagre
crowd of fight fans some of the
cleverest boxing seen her in
Ions; while when the two feather
weight glove, throwers went 10
rounds to a draw at the armory
Wednesday night, .
The first round opened with
both boys showing plenty of speed
and ability to shoot hard punches
from any angle. A lew gooa
blows , were landed from both
quarters and the round was about
even. .Mars opened the; second
with a terrific body blow which
was well placed and came so sud
jimW that no chance wa left for
i m ArJit. FnestA had the advan
: tag at Infighting due to his extra
height,' but Mars wormed around
to land some clever blows at close
quarters apd managed ta,hP bis
chin out of tne tiring line.
th i In (h second and
also In - the . third ; when he put
. some well-timed blows to w neau
and body of Fueste..
Mars continued bis hit and

..f. . ,n ' Mn cornered several
'times In the fifth and sixth rounds
and retaliated with snorc soua
punches that set the little Filipino
dancing to" and fro at lightning
speed to avom me pum-uuic-v.
in io t-hth round Mars swung
an uppercut which would hare
stretched Fueste on the mat. but
the Frisco lad managea 10
back and let It whis past The
fight speeded up in the ninth and
in the last round, with jAngelo
iinr thm nn thick, especially
in the infiehtine. Fueste's bar
rage of punches in the closing
rounds earned him a draw with
Mars. - - .
Mars was the speedier and
shiftier fighter and could hit from
any angle, though Fueste was sol
Id and able to withstand plenty of
mauling. Most of De Salem fans
were favorably impressed with the
style of boxing which was dis
played, though a few werejelam
oring for a mauling match.
Ambrose Gets Draw -With
Pancbo Villa "
Pancho Villa, the tiniest boxing
atom which has been here " in
many a day, made Bobby Am
brose, his much heavier opponent,
look foolish most of the time In
the six-round semi-windup. How
ever. Ambrose was pressed -into
service, in place of Wattenberger
late In the evening; and was un
prepared to fight. Villa dodged
and w eared about, always letting
the punches pass his head by
inches, and then slammed in well
directed blows at will. It was call
ed a draw. - -
Buddy Ambrose took a ' four
round match from Johnny Snell
ot Portland by a decision. Am
brose worked for openings and
when they came he-capitalized on
them and shot Ms one-two and a
hook at Snell frequently. Buddy
rocked the Portland boy in the
second and outpointed him
throughout. Snell went best in
the third when he put short, tell
ing blows to .Ruddy's head and
body. " .
Lome Watts stopped too many
uppercuts swing by Young Fred
dy Welsch of Portland in a four
round special, and the Portland
boy got the decision.. In the cur
tain; raiser. Al Smith and- Roy
Reynolds. both ( Salem i boys,
fought a fierce, hard battle to a
popular draw. .
Smith gunned for a knockout
in the first round and knocked
his man down for the count of
nine twice in that period.! Again
in the second round Smith drop
ped his man, who, however, came
back and stuck it out to knock
Smith down for the count of nine
In the fourth. Smith took away
two swelling eyes. ..'.'

CURTIS
Solely for the sake of clean
sport and the absence of bad
feeling and squabbling, we hope
somebody j wins both of those
all-important basketball games
for the Northwest conference
championship here Friday and

traL
Possibly we'll be contradicted.
but our . recollection is that in
the four years of the present con
ference's existence up to this sea
son. Whitman has won one cham
pionship, Willamette has won one
and the other two have been
more, or less .In dispute between
those same schools.
Ob both occasions when the
dispwte arose, the two-game
series between -Willamette and
Whitman were played here and
were split The first time, both
teams had played an equal num
ber of games. But Whitman
thereupon ' schedaled two more
with College of Idaho, which
was something like scheduling ,
them with a grade school quin
tet that year. Of coarse Whit
man won ; them handily and
awarded Itself the gonfalon, en
a percentage basis.
Then.! two Vears ago, the same
situation arose ' but this time
Whitman had failed to schedule
any games, i with Lin field. When
the series with Willamette was
split, that left the Bearcats ahead
on percentage, but Whitman bill
ed two games with Llnfleld there
after and won them, then claimed
a tie. But before another season
had rolled around Whitman had
forgotten those details and was
claiming that it had won the title
three times In succession.
This 2Ter i conference
lenders approach the finals in
mach the same situation; Wil
lamette played College of. Ida
ho only one game but Whitman
played none with Unfleld. That
leaves Willamette one game to
the. good, j See what a split of
the two games would do?
As we said,: our understanding
of this. situation 'may be wrong.
When ' the '; squabble was at ' its
height 'Nig Borleske excuse it,
R. Vincent Borleske, , Whitman,
coach, athletic director and grad
uate manager wrote a long let
ter of explanation to somebody
here in Salem, but we didn't get
to see if. We would sincerely like
to hear his side of the' dispute.
Speaking ' of championships,
we didn't know Eugene was
getting so touchy about the fact
that it hasnt been able to claim
any championship of any Im
portance in the last few years.

down at Engene, "High Clinib

MIAMI. Fla.. Feb. 18. (AP)
Baseball, like nearly I every
thing else in sport and business
and life in general, is seeking
the normal levels again after
having been, in effect, on good
old 'fashioned spree. In the opin
ion of the national league's chief
executive, John Arnold Heydler.
So far as the national game is
concerned, Heydler believes, the
adoption of a less lively ball for
the 1931 season will have a very
wholesome effect in bringing
back play to normal, with a bet
ter balance of power so far as
the pitcher and ; batter . are con
cerned. . r ..." .
'This was no sudden and has
ty decision on our part,, he ex
plained to the Associated Press
today. A good many of out
club owners have felt for a long
time the ball was too fast, that
pitchers - were , handicapped and
the long hitters making a Joke
out of the home run. v ; t
Expect to Restore . i 1 s j
Scientific Gum , t f
"We considered many, sugges
tions but finally adopted the
heavier cover and coarser stitch
ing, as a means of making the
ball slightly heavier and enab
ling the pitcher to get a ' better
grip on It. thereby - Increasing
the . chances of his effectiveness
and control,
"I think the chances will do
much to restore the more scien
tific features of the game with
out at the same time handicap
ping any of the really great long
sluggers such as Ruth, Klein and
Wilson. Those fellows will
knock the ball out of tha park
any time they connect."' , -
"The main difference as 1 see
it Is that the batsmen now likely
will have fewer good or groove
balls to hit and the pitcher's con
fidence will be increased, t
"Meanwhile we look s forward
to an even : greater season than
last year when National league
attendance records again were
broken." 1 ?

Mrs. Heydler, plans to spend - a
vacation in Miami before visiting
