Taking Salem, as all example,
the coming of a minor club open
ed the door for feminine base
ball Interest on a larger scale.
Inevitably the gals (the single
ones) were going to meet Solon
players. Some of the acqaaint
aaceshlps ripened Into matri

permanent tle-ap but did serve
to enhance the cariosity and the
liking of the femmes for this
game called baseball . . . Some
of those players went up to the
big time. They personalised the

gals they left behind and right

Furious Onslaught
By Jack Hand
WATERBURY, Conn., Sept 20-
CffVWillie Pep, calling his shots
like a champion should against an
old sparring partner, stopped Ed
die Compo of New Haven, tonight
in 41 seconds of the seventh round
to successfully defend his world
featherweight crown at Municipal
stadium. Referee Bill Conway
halted the uneven contest at the
request of Compo's chief second,
Goldie Goldfarb.
The crafty Pep, risking his
crowri for the first time since he
recaptured it from Sandy Saddler
last February, was in complete
command at all times. A crowd of
10,722 paid a gross of $39,931 tO;
see tne action.
Most of the crowd which braved
the chilly weather to see the bout
pleaded with the referee to stop
the contest before he did. Compo
willing and eager but overmatched
was floored for nine counts twice
In the fifth and once in the sev
enth before the end.
Pep, the Hartford, Conn vet
who celebrated his 27th birthday
yesterday, came out to put over
the finisher in the seventh. Compo1
looked weary as he walked slowly
from the corner, a left hook drop
ped him on his back. He rolled
over and waited for the count to
reach nine, as he got up the ref
eree heeded the shouting from the
challenger's corner. Goldfarb was
waving a towel and yelling that
the kid was finished. Referee Con
way agreed.
It was no contest all the way
with Pep winning every round on
the referee's score card. There are

to beat one from the Pelican city.
Coach Loren Mort had his charges
operating on the double, as the
Pels are known to be be a fast
functioning T-formation troupe.
Klamath's line will average only
170 pounds per man to Salem's
180, and the Pel backs will do a
160 level to Salem's 171. But in
their hard-fought 7 to 0 loss to

this weekend. Divot fans here
abouts still remember 1938, when
the Lanky Portlander picked up
Walla Walla country club course.
Chuck Congdon of Tacoma, not
often a headliner this year, won't
be regarded lightly by the field.
