Ed); try thls please advise the boxing commission of Salem, or better yet, the match makers of the recent fight cards to try and obtain a few new faces for their cards. The same old mugs are giving the fight fans a pain in the neck. We want something new. Here is hoping they soon will find a young "Ethiopian chief tain" who will show that "Young Italy" (the Pride of Brooks) where the Rear sat down in the Buckwheat. Yours truly, A FIGHT FAN. i We hardly think Mr. Fight Fan has & legitimate beef. When there have been only two fight cards in Salem (and those two good ones) for many months there are hardly grounds for complaining of see ing the same okl faces again and again. The complaint that the fight fans aren't getting something new Is also unjust. -They are getting fights, good fights, which has been a part of Salem's sport program notice- able chiefly by its absence in the past. It is true that on the two cards which have been held and on the one coming up Frank Riggi, the Brooks Bomber, has been head lined. But why shouldn't he be? He has shown that he is a fighter and that deadly punching of his is the stuff that pleases fight fans Friday he meets Red Rader, the fast Tacoma boy. Rader fought here once a year ago and nobody can say that seeing a face once a year makes it as familiar as an old sock. O ; Promoter Curly Feldtman has plans to bring In good boys from outside as soon as he gets enough support to make it prof itable. Feldtman has had good support in the two cards he has put en. and he is grateful to Salem fight fans for it. Bat he can't hire Joe Yonia or Barney Ross, even AI Spina on a shoestring. Fighters don't grow on trees and aren't In the game for the fan of it. They want cakes and ale money as well as bread, butter and beans money. ; Remember, Mr. Fight Fan. Sa lem isn't a metropolis with fight ers flocking to it for a tryout and the armory isn't any Madison Square Garden. It isn't even close By BURNLEY- Roger ("Doe") Cramer, crack out fielder, and Erie ("Boob") McNair, capable infield performer, to the Red Sox. .; Cramer, a dangerous and highly efficient wielder of the willow, was one of the five leading hitsmiths in the American loon throughout the 1935 season, and keen baseball ob servers esteem the Doe as one of the greatest fielding outfielders in the majors. McNair, affectionately called ' 3 mi ys& . Ouint Here TonigHt PAUL. HAUSE-K to St. Nicks in Old New Tawk. These are times that follow close ly a big slump In the pnnch trade and boxers aren't found on every corner and In every hamlet. Time was when every village had its local cbcmjlon but now the fist throwing 'ads are scarce. But Salem Is la for seeing some classy boxing talent if it keeps on supporting the cards at the. armory. ; Feldtman is planning to bring several of the top Portland fighters, including Al Spin, here soon and la also talking of bringing Young Fir po, t he punching Idaho miner, here this summer So just bide your time and try to bear op looking at the same old faces for a fight or two.

The Boob didn't hit np to expecta tions last year but there is no deny ing the fact that he is a better wal loper than Melillo. i Whether he can east the fancy fielding Italian, from the midway post remains to be seen.

Don Mabee, picked on the second all-state team last year and Bob Blenkinsop are the for ward team of the McMinnville out fit and constitute a dangerous offensive threat. Both are dead shots, Blenkinsop ringing up- 13 no Ints against the- Vikings last year. Man-to-Man Jonah -4 Coach Huntington after wit nessing the failure of his team to clifk against a tight man to man defense has been working the quint against that system in practice and hopes they will put up a better showing If McMinnville uses man to man.

The McMinnville and Salem quints will meet in a preliminary tilt at 7 o'clock. Davev's Football Jest Recognized CHICAGO, Jan. Z7.-UP)-Gor Martin L.
