Another reminder: If you want to see how the . navy has a good
time it its "Happy Hour" gatherings and have a good one yourself.
don't fail to take in the 7 p. m. show at Willamette gym Wednesday
night We were one of the privileged few civilians who thoroughly
enjoyed last week's "preview", and
since its s all for free, what have
. you to lose? . . . Mistress of the
. orchard Mrs. Geo. E. Waters has
tendered her okeh on both the
Airport and WU Navy cat ball
nines using the big 25th and Tur
ner arena, so don't be surprised
If there's one of those rarities
within same one of these days
a ball game . . . Lee Fallin went
down instead of up by switching
from artillery teacher to para-'
trooper losing his sergeant's
rating for that of buck private
T but he's said to be happier than
gardless. He's now at Fort Ben-
ning, Ga to learn how to come
. ' down from 10,000 feet up without
busting his neck . . . If he fails
. in the latter, mebbe they'll make
a second looey outa him Ben-
ning holds one of the officers j
training schools,: too, and from what we've gathered from talkative en
listed men some of the looies ought to have their necks busted, at
, least : . . Our old friend and diamond boss Bunny "Little Skipper"
Griffiths lay claim; to theecordf or, cidtimers making a baseball
comeback. No, Bunny doesn't claim it for himself ' even though' he's
. way past 40, Instead, as manager again for the York, Pa.,' club in
the New York-Penirtircuit, he's signed a 58-year old southpaw (yeah,
58!) answering to "Lefty" George, Bunny hired him last season and
he did so well as a relief twirler he was rehired and handed a start
ing role this time. The guy runs a York drug store on the side, so meb
be he mixes his own reasons for such belated success . . . Anyway
. between Lefty and Bunny they're doing something it generally takes
four or five ballplayer's to do top 100 in totalled ages . . . And who
was it said 'they never come back.'? L . . Bunny says Lefty will get a
- pension for life if he lasts until hers60 ...
Thursday Card Looks Good From Here
t- 1
no reason wny we upcorams imusoaj nigm pro wn revivu
shouldn't click. As far as we could find out, and we've tried, the
pugilists who are tolo opening
drunk ham-and-eezers they're
their best to climb the punch and take ladder. Take for instance
Eddie Weller, the Caddo Indian from Oklahoma City who scraps the
main event with Angello Pretillo. Weller Is 19 years old. He fought
his first professional fight right here in our town in the semiwindup
session on that ill-fated card last July. Since then, and proving that
he's seriously after bigger and better things in the cauliflower racket,
the young welterweight has won himself such favor with Joe Water
man that he's fought his way to a main event role after beating such
recognizeable prelim men as Don Crowe, Bobby Brock, Jimmy Hogan
smd Mel Roberts. He's been looking so good that Portland papers havo
tagged him as "the best prospect on the Pacific Coast" and one who
boasts "the best preliminary record on the coast." If he didn't have
something on the ball besides the cover he'd never rate a top spot on
a Waterman card, of that you can be certain.
Pretillo Is another like example. He's 23 and despite that com
paratively young age was In 1938-39 the leading lightweight con
tender on the coast Said to be a
rhrrr tiim brawlimt to his ODDonent Pretillo holds rina wins over
Babe Fen ton, Pancho Lupe, Rex
Crowe recently, and a little further
Danny Snipe of Chemawa, Tommy
Knnv Lindsev of Canada. Who's
champ. In fact he kayoed Lindsey In the fourth heat of their go.
He's another who carries the stamp of approval from the Waterman
farm. - - -' - . . ' '' ' .
Youngsters Trying the Fistic Ladder
And for the prelim boys Thursday, get these ages, all authentic:
Big Dave Johnson and K. O. Hooker, the semiwindup heavyweights,
26 and 22, respectively. Bob Wright, middleweight protege of Port
land YMCA Boxing Instructor .Sam Duncan, is but 17; Johnnie
Mi tchelL fresh out of the army and also a - middleweight is 26
John ."Rocky" Mobley, 140-pounder who kayoed hii opponent on
Waterman's March 21 card, is only 19; Alike Finley, former Chemawa
Indian school gladiator, is. 21; Eddie, Worton, at 150 the , No. 1 spar
ring partner for Weller, is 20; and Bob Pounds, from Vancouver and
making his debut as a pro after numerous Portland and Washington
amateur engagements, is but 19. ; r i " i . "
All of 'em war Industry workers who have converged on" Port
land after hearing how the National Boxing club has so success
fully revived the sport, and all of 'em youngsters who have a desire
to one day become Henry Armstrongs, Joe Louis', Jack Dempseys, etc
The talent looks okeh from this corner, and if it turns out in
reality to be as good as it looks on paper, the Thursday card will be
well worth while. ' j

The Wednesday show will also

the Portland team a good lead
and swam on to win.
It was the second American
