Its latest Victim is Keller Warner, the bi and hard up quite a local following before Gian i 00 so good as a gladiator wnen no reiumeo, xne reason ior his failure, attests Phil Bayea, who handled Keller right after the war, was the fact that the big boy wouldn't get down to the serious- ness of training. Consequently, he could romp and stomp for a round or two, but if he didnt flatten his got flattened himself. But now Keller is being handled by the Manny Morrell-Georgie Masters duet who have opened the training f gym here. And this pair, who have done a good job .with pean Abney, claim Wagner is working even harder than they ask. i "He's really serious," Morrell tallies.

The Telephone -It Keeps Just an example of how busy a newspaper sports department can get on basketball nights might be gleaned from this: Last Tuesday night on the Salem-Albany game alone there were 38 telephone calls asking what the final score was BUUKt we got it and a grand total of 204 between the hours of 9:30 and 12 pjn. Those were: for the Vik- Bulldog game only and do not Include the dozens of other calls re porting scores on valley games. All of which brings no "beer at all from here. We hope to have 'em all 'phoned in or brought in so that they can be made available to those who hit us on Tuesday and Fri day nights mostly with the likes of, "How'd so and so make out to night?"

And as far as local fight fans are concerned, he can stay out of town. Bacca, who looked punchy from the start, hit the canvas twice in the first round, five tunes in the second stanza and twice in the third before Referee Al Llcht called it quits and awarded Monty (Chief) Mont gomery of Klamath Falls a third round TKO victory. Montgomery s win was an easy one. He landed only two swift blows in flooring his foe seven times. In the second round, he bumped his elbow against Bac ca's chin and Bacca slumped down for a no count. It was prob ably the only "elbow" punch that ever resulted in a knockdown. Two other times Bacca fell to the canvas after being recipient to light punches. The Californian Just didn't seem to have any bal ance the least jolt would send him down to kiss the canvas again. But the stinkeroo nature of the main event was offset by some action-packed prelims Dean Abney, popular Salem boxer, banged out a six-round decision over Al Cliff in the feat ure preliminary. The first two rounds were on the slow side, but tempo picked up In the third canto as Abney began to move In aggressively and land an occa sional hard blow. The last three rounds were all won by Abney, who looked good throughout the six rounds. His showing Wednesday should gain the local leather - wielder some promihent spots In future ring billings The years may have dimmed some of Leo (The Lion) Turner's speed, but the old ring veteran hasn't lost any of his color. That was proven in a four-round exhi bition bout between "The Lion" and Irish Johnny CDay. Turner, who used to be the number one enemy of local ring fans, proved popular In his exhibition draw. Other prelims saw Jerry Strutz, 128-pound Portlander, take four-round decision over Les Webb, 131, Portland, and Eddie Johan of Klamath Falls draw with Davey Bell of Bakersfield, Calif., in a four-round middle weight mix that was a crowd pleaser all the way.
