Four Salem Battlers Afomey Mtev Kayo Bra -asiraeir ToimisM With all four Salem Installations anxious to wrap up their parts via knockouts i-- and all four of them capable of doing just that--Matchmaker Tex Salkeld tonight presents nis 26-round fistic fiesta at the Ferry Street Garden, first bout beginning at 8:30 o'clock. Middleweight Dick Abney, a sftarpshooting kayo artist in his last two tries here goes in with Billy ; Sunday, , the hard-hitting Chiloquin Indian in the 10-round main event," Abney's most im portant bou( to date. In the best shape of his career, Abney aspires to make it three in a row : by flattening the southern Oregon tribesman who, if he can get by the Sam Duncan comer will gain himself a long-sought -date with the rapidly-rising Jack Snapp of Klamath Falls. Sunday is a knocker-outer type of rlngster himself, farther indication that the mainer will end long before the tenth heat comes around. Salkeld has promised Abney main event roles in a number of northwest fistic stops if he can whip the rugged Indian. Some of the kayo possibilities on the show were lost when Heavyweight Keller Wagner late last week came up with the stom ach "flu,", but his opponent, Bob by Eastman of Klamath Falls is reportedly a heavy-fisted hombre who isn't a stranger to the easier way of winning ring excursions. Eastman climbs in with Frank Pattee of Portland, Pattee subbing for Wagner in one of the four 4-rounders. Featherweight dandy Hal Fries, undefeated in the Salem ring and in the eyes' of Salkeld the most promising of the five- village swatsmen, reaches a big turning point In his local career in an other four-round special. Fries goes on with specially-acquired Ernie Dugan of Oakland, CaL, and if he can put away Dugan as easily as he has his last four opponents Salkeld has himself an other main eventer. The little left bander, loaded with speed and hitting power has been ter rific in his past armory appear ances. Dean Abney, the youthful wel ter who made his pro debut on the last card and outslugged Frankie Duane, New Orleans, in rousing bout is on with Duane again, and anxious to kayo him this time. Ralph Ayers, off . for the past month to get in tip-top shape returns to meet Ralph Weiser of Klamath Falls in the welterweight class. Ayers also is capable of delivering the sleep potion with either hand, and if all five bouts end in knockouts tonight M. Salkeld will be sur prised the least. Tickets have been going at sucn a cup at Mapie s mat ine snow may pull a full house. Packy Mc- Farland will referee. Retting Picks Legion Juniors Faced with being ship-shape by Sunday for bis first game at New berg. Coach Paul Relltng yesterday selected tS Capitol Post No. t Legion Junior base bailers from a field of over, St aspirants during a workout at Waters park.

The sweat-dripper, picking up momentam with every minute after Dusette grabbed the first fall in 42 minutes with his pet hold, wound up with both gladi ators en the downright hostile side.

Baseball's lilflMl CAB R Top Drivers Due for Races When a sport begins to inter est "biggies" In a competitive bracket. It haa "arrived" and that, briefly, explains why driv ers who have earned plandits In major racing circles are also turning their hand at piloting the roadster (hot rod) racers. For several years, the great ma jority of roadster drivers were merely owners or part-owners of cut-down machines whose ac tivities were confined to out-of-the-way dirt tracks. Came the day last year, however, when the hot rods made their first ap pearance at tho Portland Speed way and met with such acclaim that "major drivers began to look with approving eye on the stripped speed chariots.
