Claimant to 118 Title in
Oron Is Outpointed
by Salem Amateur
Bob Quamme gave away a big
edge in experience and. age last
night but made tip for it In smart
ness at he won a fire round deci
sion from Cliff Nelson. Multno
mah club 118 pound ace, in the
best bout of a six bout, meet be
tween Salem Y. M. c. A. and Port
land boxing school boxers.
The Portland boxers won the
affair, faking four matches to Sa
lem's two, but Quamme topped all
the fighters that showed in cool
and game fighting skill. Matched
against an opponent years his sen
ior and who claimed the Oregon
amateur championship In the. 118
pound division Quamme out
classed him through tire furious
rounds and still bad enough left
to stand off a bitter attack in the
final round.
That was the wildest, fastest
going round of the fight as Nel
son, realizing Quamme had won
the decision, tried with a lot of
heavy but wild swinging to win
by a knockout. Quamme took sev
eral of his blows square but stood
up under them and returned
measure for measure, enough to
win him another round.
Traglio Defeated
The twin main events, each of
five rounds, were the most active
pieces of ringwork staged here in
many a moon. The finale In which
Roy Quisenberry, 147, Portland,
scored a fourth round knockout
over Webb Traglio, Salem was a
weird thing.
Traglio started out strong In
the first round but the rangy
Quisenberry caught him In the
second and had Traglio all but
out when the bell saved him. In
the third Traglio stepped out from
behind Referee Earl Douglas to
land a right that was nearly cur
tains for Quisenberry and from
then on It was a madhouse.
ir&Siio was uuwb mree limes
- before Quisenberry finally knock
ed him out, twice knocked clear
out of the ring. The first time
Quisenberry continued' his attack
too long cfter Traglio went to his
knees and it was ruled a foul and
a two minute intermission given.

THAT old fable about the dim
wit who killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs has many
a prototype in real life. ,
The boxing game, always the diz
ziest of pastimes, has afforded many
instances ; of such short-sighted
practice as cutting off your nose to
spite your profile.
Just at present,- when it seemed
that the old boom days of the Derop
sey era' were really ; on xheir way
back, the : greedy cauliflower culti

He'll Face Champ
NEW YORK. March 2. -(P)-Max
Schmeling. heavy-weight ti
tle challenger and former cham
pion, arrived from Germany to
day full of confidence that Jim
my Braddock will bring his
crown into i the ring for their
scheduled fight at Madison
Square garden bowl June 3.
After conferring with John
Reed TCilpatrick, garden presi
dent, Schmeling scouted all sug
gestions that Braddock intended
to give him i th j "run around."
v "I don't think so," he said in
"reply to a question whether he
believed the champion would fail
to appear., "Braddock will fight
me, I'll bet, on June 3. We have
a contract , and its legal."
In event Braddock fails to ap
pear, however, the German said
he would not claim the title as
they "can ib won and lost only
in the ring."

Down But Not Out
The Jack Torrance farce just
skimmed the surface of the sock
skullduggery that has been going on
of late. This scandal, true or not,
certainly hurt the game a lot, but
consider some of the other farcical
affairs that have been going on of
late among the knuckle tossers.
Marcel Thil, so-called world's
middleweight champ, retains his
tarnished laurels by means of an
obvious fraud the old foul claim.
Thil, however, is reported to have
announoed his retirement.
