Info coming, from the Solon Chief George Emlgh paints this picture: Salem's only hope of re taining Its franehiserests on par chase of the dab and holdings by; s local group. If tbe parent Port-1 land Beavers cannot sell locally they will- jerk the franchise and move it to other parts. The same situation arose at the end of last season. The Bevos were ready to pall oat bat no thing of dire conseqnence came of ' bundle of ominous words.

That's what ifll be tonight at the armory as a half dozen of the better grapplers showing in these parts battle it out in a Battle Royal, with the winner getting a handsome side purse of $200. Matchmaker Elton Owen announces that ladies will be admitted free to the card, other than for government tax. The burly gents who will be In there shooting for the laurels in clude Leo Wallick, the Coast's Jun ior heavy, king, who would like to get the win tonight for the sake of prestige even though his toga wont be endangered; Lee Grable, arch rival of Wallick's and unsuc cessful challenger for his crown the week before; George Dusette, veteran of many a mat fracas here; Ace Abbott the tough cowboy from Texas; - Bill Melby, dream man of the bobby-soxers and Gentleman Dale Haddock, a new comer from eastern parts who Is said to belie his name by using strictly rough tactics inside the ropes. - -iV- First two eliminated in the Bat tle Royal will mix in a 20-mlnute match which will go one fall or to decision. Ditto with the second pair to faiyy the wayside. The two finalists will scrap In a 30-minute tiff for the $200 purse. This also will go one fan" or de cision.

Definite This Time A definite plan of action has been formulated by Bevo Head Man Bill Mulligan and Owner George Norgan. If there is no prospect of local sale, the fran chise will be switched. A possible site of the transfer Is New West minster, a town of 47,000 on the other side ef the Canadian bor der. ,- There It Is, folks, squarely on the line. No need to re very far Into why the Portlands want to shot them selves of Salem. . That has been hashed and re-hashed A last place ball club and skln-snd-bones attendance go together like ham and eggs, though not 4 site so palatable. The 'starvation diet the Sen ators have been fed In the way of player help Is, of course, at the bottom of the mess. The Port lands can hold no one but them selves responsible for that nig gardly diet. - - As we said before, there have been reams of copy written on the sad subject. So no need to go , any further here. - Bat the handwriting Is on the walL And we're afraid It will not erase this time. . . .
