- Just who the blazes IS: the
best middleweight boxer j in
Oregon? '
Yeah, I know. Turner has' the
championship again. But ' does
his history, which Includes beat
ings from both Peterson land
. Proctor, indicate he la the best
fighter of the foursome? !
When Turner fights as- he

If they meet here in August,! he
might easily gain himself a1 na
tional reputation. But will he?
Second Setback,
Meantime, how much will the
terrific beating he took effect the
theretofore promising career of
Terrible Tony Kahut? The Wood
burn boy, who appeared to be
drawn Just a bit too fine and who
never . was given a chance : by
Turner, was knocked as cold as
a nazi notice for the second time
in his life. j
Rabat's first floaader la the
resin eame in Us second fight, '
three years age. The blew that
sent him bite ebliviea was ad
ministered by Ted Peterson,
Baddy's elder brother. j
Tony came back for better
things after catching that punch
of Ted's, but the punches he
caught from Turner weren't; the
same. Ted's toss numbed him.
Turner's sprawled him as life
less, outwardly, as a Mexican at
siesta time. Leo's lams may cause
Kahut to lose zest for the pugilis
tic parade. J
On the other hand, Tony may
become a better fighter because of
the severe lacing. At any rate,
hell probably have opportunity to
show whatever difference it may
have made. It is probable he
will again be matched with
Powder Proctor, the winner to get
a chance at Turner.
Forced Turner.
It is the opinion of Pappy Sal
keld, who promotes the VFW
fights which have been bang-up
throughout this year, that Farmer
John Friend beat his own boy in
insisting that Turner make weight
for Kahut.
If Jehn had taken the fight
without any mention al forfeit
money or weights, as did Fawner
Proctor, Kahnt wonld still-be
champion,'" said Salkeld after
the battle.
"Friend forced Turner to get in
shape. Every time Turner has been
In condition he's almost killed his
opponent, you know that. Well, he
was never in better shape than
he was for Kahut. for he was
scared plumb stiff that he might
lose the $50 forfeit money."
Proposed Bached
Happy Howard Maple's pro
posal, that the Western Interna

$100 and its player limit by lone

by one more loop spot. Yakima,
where Goldie Holt is back in the
saddle, reports it is in favor of the
move, while Spokane, who backed
a similar proposal a year ago, has
always been for it . . . Just one

Dodgers' Success Depends on Mungo, Allows
Lippy LeojjWho Recently Booted the Guy
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, April 15 (Spe
cial to The Statesman) 'The latest
bulletin from Leo Durocher is to
the effect that Van Mungo is the
key to the success of the Brook
lyn Dodgers this year, a slightly
confusing report in that; in Dur
ochers last previous report he in
timated that as far as he was con
cerned Mr. Mungo was tijie key to
nothing but the doghouse;
, Shortly after Mungo's 'one-man
riot at Havana Durocher informed
us quite vehemently that the
ever-promising pitcher in no way
entered the plans for the season.
He still was simmering' when
Larry MacPhail announced that
Mungo was being returned o
good standing. Durocherl declared
that one more false step ..on Mun
go's part and either he or Mungo
would go.
Apparently cooled by the sooth
ing northern breezes Durocher
said in a banquet speech the eve
of the opening game: j ';
"Mungo is the key to ;our suc
cess. He's showed more stuff -this
spring than he has in five years."
