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.

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.!

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.

(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 ?
