Today whirl concerns a hot potato. And if you don't think the to-be-or-not-to-be on Salem Senator baseball broadcasts for the coming campaign isn't considerably on the warm side, you've no doubt been out of town. - Tint ntr mm .- warned in this corner a couDle of weeks ago. - y ? jj . ?

The sponsors back away from Emigh's "'plan. The two sides have been dickering, trying to arrive at a mutual agreement So far no soap. True enough, the KOCO people pay Emigh for the privilege of broadcasting the games, but he feels that the stipend doesn't begin to offset the loss he takes at the gate. We wrote ear slant the mess twe weeks age.

We firmly believe that KOCO dees the Senators a barrelfal ef good, from any angle. . Our mail of late has been well sprinkled with protests by fans who want the broadcasts. We have been told by both KOCO and Emigh that similar squawks have reached them. Whether or not they'll convince Emigh he is wrong we don't know. Right at present, however, he doesn't seem to mind holding the hot spud at alL Yipe, and with an election coming on!

Huntington's accounts of a playoff game with Independence In the twenties was enough to bring also. Those were the days when scientific basketball. The Indeps had notified Holly they would accept any referee for the game, provided he didn't coma from Salem. So the foxy Huntington went to McMinnville and got the football coach from there to "ref the rassle. i Ta make a long bat amusing story , short, the final scare was Salem C, Independence 3.

Sparks Walking State Tourney Encyclopedia Yes, basketball times have changed. For Instance, Paul Hen dricks, the Viking cage coach back In 1921 and now a village bar rister, recalls how in that year he had to coach all seven sports at EHS by his lonesome, along with conducting gym classes all day long. All for $200 a month. Les Sparks came along in 22 and was Hendricks assistant In football before taking over the Villa basket ball Job later on. Incidentally, if the OHSAA ever Uses Its state toantament record beaks. It aeed aat fret.

Ht can man every position with an experienced performer and pros pacts are sharp that the locals will be in the thick of the upcoming Big Six league flag chase. Three of the returning mono cramers arc pitchers. They are Jim Rock, Gene Carver and Dick Nor ton. In addition Hauk has a fine prospect coming up from the Jay vees in the person of Elwyn (Son ny) Walker, who developed quite a reputation in Junior loop cir cles. - Handling the hurlers will be a pair of lettermen. Gene Jones and Earl Eshleman. Other lettermen: Doug Rogers, the all-state hooper, at first base: Roy Parsons at shortstop; Daryl Girod, the SHS cage spark and all-stater, at the second-base slot; Gordon Sloan at third; Gordon Bacon, Jim Stewart and Bill John son in the outfield. - Weather permitting, Hauk will get his lads out for a long bat tng practice session today and through the remainder of the week. - A number of green men are out for lobe but th . vtrana hava the inside track for starting po sitions. - -.. a Slugger Cheers Coleman CORVALLIS, OreV March 17- vrureon State Baseball Coach Ralph Coleman today -welcomed bard hitting Outfielder Ralph Krafva to the team.

CCNY Quint, Braves Ready By Win Griassley NEW YORK, March Z7-ip)-The scene is the same and so is the cast of characters but a tired, vindictive Bradley will attempt to rewrite the finish when It plays City College of New York tomor row night tor the NCAA basket ball championship. Tha two teams collide at ap proximately 10:15 pm, (EST) at Madison Square Garden in the grand climax to the 1949-50 sea son. Baylor and North Carolina State meet in a third place con solation at 8:15 pjn. Tor tha. proud Braves from Peoria, I1L, it's a chance to re claim their position as tha No. 1 team in the nation and redeem a 09-81 defeat try CCNY in the recent National Invitation finals. For the CCNY Beavers, grown sure and pirate bold: by their series of sensational post-season triumphs, it's a chance to encom pass the sport's first and only 'grand slam." No team has ever crammed the two big college championships the Invitation and the NCAA into a single season, although Kentucky, Colorado, Duquesne and Utah have tried. CCNY is just a step away, tha closest any has been. A sellout crowd of mora than 18,000 will pack the big mldtown area to see if City, a 1 point favorite this time, can do it again. Both Bradley and CCNY are beginning to show a bit of wear and tear from high-pressure tournament play. Coach Forrest (Forddy) And erson of Bradley said his boys were "tired as the dickens'' but "eager to face CCNY again." (Continued on next page.)

Mintz Says Joe'll Change 3Iind Ez's SCiippeir SCuaeini ISy Loyis' ecisioini By Tarn Benton f BUFFALO. N.Y, March 27-(P-Jake Mintz recovered today from a horrible experience being struck dumb. . Jake, manager of NAB Heavyweight Champion Ezzard Charles, suffered tha attack over tha weekend as a result of Joe Louis' announcement Saturday that he had retired permanently from the prize ring. Twenty-four hours later, Jake still was Just mumbling innocu ous little phrases about Louis strengthening Ezzard's title claim. But today he got his feet back off the ground. "It's a fake!" yelled Jake, in effect. Mints wore tha startled expres sion of a man whose pocket had Just been picked of his part of a possible million-dollar gate. This was because Jake was a man whoso pocket had Just been picked of his part of a possible million-dollar gate. Tha general idea of Jake's argument was that Louis was fishing for terms. "Else why did be take all that trouble to tell about financial arrangements for a possible bout with Charles?" ha asked. Louis said Saturday ha would have demanded 35 per cent of the gate for a fight with Charles. That wouldn't work," he add ed. "You know, fighters only get 60 per cent and Charles would have had to fight for less than me, and him, tha champion. "Joe is smart," said Mintz, "and so Is Marshall Miles, his man ager. That retirement story was far from official. Youll find that Joe will come back to fight Ez zard in September." Tom Tannic, the man who con trols the money behind Charles, got to the point immediately, to wit: "Louis comment on terms for a bout with Charles was a dead giveaway. We've never discussed money with them for such a fight, so how do they know . what we would ask? "If it's only money that's hold ing up a Charles-Louis bout, that can be Ironed out They'll find us easy to get along with. : We want tha fight and tha prestige a win over Louis would give Charles." - " yT cash you erf 15 Res. 9.2! 115.92 2I.78 20Mo. 7.39 12.77 17.48 WM" f .ry(,af I ii I it mthmr mmmmm, ar far eMr ptimtir mm im araawttea. iian a H 500 mutmt.
