tangle Involving taxes. One local outfit offered to bay the whole
shebang for $25,000 recently, but was turned down. It's figured
that $60.00 might swing the deal. Object of the party who offered
the 25 G's was to tie In with the midget and roadster racing people
for a full season of speed events and rearrange the premises so
that outdoor boxing. softbaU, etc., could be accommodated. i
The Portland faction that came In late last season with the hot
rods, after, chasing the midgets out, has made another offer to lease
the bowl again this summer. So has the more welcome local group
since its offer to buy was vetoed. But no action has yet been taken
n either offer by the landlords of the plant. The rods dropped around
$1600 last year during their short run hare, while the midgets,
seemingly more popular with the fans, made a little money before

Messrs. Mulligan and Sweeney for some ballplayers. Yes, the
local nine needs help. That is, if they're to be Indexed as a solid

Kahut vs. Q'Day Scrap on Again
Rogers 4o Fight
Main Event IHIeire
- : : ' 'I '
Don Rogers, the talented young Portland lightweight sensation
who belted out Mickey Gimmell in the first round of his Salem debut
a few weeks ago, returns to the armory next Wednesday night to
again highlight the main event of the VFW card." The 23-year-old
blonde with the lethal fists will
meet Joe Pradon, San Jose, Cal.,
40-pounder in the 10-round
mainer. ,
Pradon Is a protege of Felix
Ramirez, the only fighter holding
a win over Rogers since the lat
ter turned professional 10 battles,
back. In fact Ramirez is trainer
for ithe young Pradon, who is
classed as a rough and tough Mex-
can lad around the bay area.
Of equal Importance as the
mainer will be the Wednesday
show's four round special, cap
ping the lesser prelims. In it
young Eddie Kahut of Woodburn,
his bashed nose now completely
healed, will go against Irish John
ny ! O'Day in their grudge scrap.
They were to have clashed here
last week, but Kahut absorbed bis
damaged nose from brother Tony
Kahut in a training sortie and had
to be taken off the card. O'Day
knocked out Tony Kahut here a
year ago, ending the latter's ring
career. Eddie wants to get at the
unpredictable Irishman as '-a mea
sure of revenge.
Both Tony and Joltin' Joe Ka
hut will be in Eddie's corner for
the 'kid's big brawl.
A six round semiwindup and
another pair of four rounders will
be added to the card by Match
maker Tex Salkeld later on.

Expert Says Bengals
Will Top Bosox, NY
' By Joe Relchler
NEW! YORK. April 12-MVDe
troit's greatly Improved Tigers
are the "dark horse" selection to
upset the favored Boston Red Sox
and dethrone the defending cham
pion New York Yankees In tho
American league pennant race.
The odds-makers have made
the powerful Red Sox a 7-5 fav
orite with the proud Yankees a
second choice at 2Vi to 1, but
neither possesses as strong a pitch
ing staix as the 4-1 underdo!
igers. j
Pitching Is hot the onlv De- .
troit asset The outfield is the
envy of the league. The Tigers "
own the best third baseman in
the majors and one of the smart
est second basemen. In Red Rolf,
they have an alert and aggres
sive manager who did a tremen
dous job last year, his first with
the club. . 1
The Yankees, because of Joe '
DiMaggio and Joe Page, a fine
pitching staff and good reserves,
should give the Tigers battle.
The race may be decided on the
final day just as the last two
years.
The Red Sox, man for man
have the best front-line team in
baseball, may not even do as well
as last year. They still haven't
adequate reserve strength and the
pitching, except for Mel Parnell
and Ellis Kinder, is uncertain.
Also, the same veterans who lost
two straight pennants on the final
day, are another year older.
Cleveland, no worse than last
year, if only the acquisition of
Luke Easter, slugging,, rookie
righthander, figures to finish
fourth. Pitching, once j Connie
Mack's forte, will prevent the
Philadelphia Athletics from
breaking Into the first division.
Chicago appears to be the best
of the remaining trio. Washing
ton is the worst. That leaves the
St Louis Browns In seventh
place. ,
The writer hopes to get back
in winning stride by selecting tho
Tigers. Cleveland was the suc
cessful pick in 1948 but the Red
Sox failed to come through last
year. ?
The probable order of finisht
1-Detroit 2-New York. 3-Bos
ton. 4-Cleveland. 5- Philadelphia.
6-Chicago. 7-St. Louis. 8-Washington.
The Tigers finished fourth last
year, 10 games behind the Yan
kees.. However, they played the
best baseball in the league over
the final six weeks. They nar
rowly missed third after moving
out of the second division.
It Is on the strength of tho
mound corps that the Tigers are
expected to make a spirited bid
for their first flag since 1945. 1st
righthanders Virgil Trucks, Art
Houtteman, Fred Hutchinson and
lefthanders Hal Newhouser and
Ted Gray, the Bengals have a
five unmatched In the league. To
gether they won 77 games last
year.

SPOKANE, April 12 -UP)-Spokane,
starved for collegiate
football since Gonzaga quit tho
game in 1941, lined up valuable
support today In its campaign to
get the 1950 Washington State
University of Washington game

The traditional battle between
the two state rivals Is scheduled
November 25 in the 25,000-seat
Rogers field at Pullman. A new
$500,000 civic stadium here la

ber 15. It will also have 25,000
seats.
Forest EvashevskL the new WSC
coach, said he is in favor of moving
the game to Spokane. Robert
Brumblay, WSC's athletic director,
said he Is willing "if it is practical.

oriole under protection in 1882.
