Newspaper Page Text10 The Stat mem, tjn, Oregon, We&ieedcrr, Mot 11 'Never Weighed Less or Felt Better', Tells By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor Happy to be home again after an absence of almost 15 weeks, most of which were spent doing absolutely noth ing with the Cincinnati Reds, Pitcher Bill Bevens is this week reacquaint ing himself with his family and Salem friends. The Bevens home Is located at 4850 B a iley Rd., in the Keizer dis trict. Now a member of the San Fran cisco Seals Coast Bevens League club, Bill The moguls in the New York offices of the octupus-like Interna tional Boxing Club today probably are parked on their ample haun ches, with sardonic grins turned upon a particular dispatch that says: HDnDTT XT II - writ VIA Ufat. thews, Seattle, outpointed Rex Layne. Lewiston, Utah, in a ten- round bout here Monday night." . . . Yes, the IBCcrs are apt to chortle, "Well, now, how about that? Here that touted boy of Jack Hurley's (Oh, keep him out our hair) can't do any more than deci sion Layne where some other guys. Bob Murphy and Rocky Marciano, have put the sleeper on the Utah behemoth." . . . A Decisive Win Sure, the Seattle Kid failed to put away the "new" Layne in their absolutely jampacked Live stock pavilion bruiser of Monday night, but don't let anybody tell you it was a squeak win for Matthews over the burly walloper from Utah who carried a 15-pound weight edge ... On three different occasions Hurley's athlete had Rex in a bad way and from the second round on the scrap was all Matthews. The Kid, zeroing in with his searing left Jab, interspersed with biting hooks and an explosive right, had Lay ne's face a welter of cuts and bruises. As we saw it, Matthews shot his main guns through the first six rounds to build up a big margin on points, then assumed a slightly more cautious role to guard against a possible direct hit by that powerful Layne right for In the final phases Rex's one hope of a win was a knockout . . . But outside of the first round, when Layne clipped his foe with a savage right, and the ninth which was rock-'em-sock-'em on either side, it was all Mat thews . . . One of the enlightenments for the crowd of close to 11,000 was the grade of ring know-how displayed by Layne, always previ ously tagged as a good-hit, no-box scrapper. While he was no Tun. ney, Rex likewise was no crude stumble-bum against the Seattle warrior, and it's the more credit to Hurley's man that he was able to gain so clean-cut a win . . . The IBC had best not sell Matthews short yet . . . It Almost Ended in Second Round Iq the second round the gladiator from Puget Sound missed by a hair of getting a knockout victory as he combination-punched Layne stinging left and smashing right to the deck for an eight count . . . The Monday bout was Tex Salkeld's greatest promotional triumph and if they'd been selling perches on the pavilion rafters at $25 per, those likely would have been snatched up, too. The sellout definitely established Portland as a fight town and gives Salkeld a real argu ment in future negotiating for a possible title bout involving- Mat thews . . . Reminiscencing at ringside were Bobby Doerr, the long time great secondsacker of the Boston Red Sox and Bill Salkeld, one time Boston Braves receiver. Bobby, who this season retired to his ranch at Lostine, Ore., looked as trim as a fiddle and could probably Jump right back into the Bosox lineup if be chose to do so . . . Shot s Front Here 'n There The Incentive for guys who go into the thankless umpiring bis Is what happened to Bill Englen of the Coast circuit the other day. Bill goes up to the National League after 15 seasons with the PCL. So it's sometimes worth all the headaches . . . Speaking of the Portland fights, lots of new faces appearing on the prelims. The new blood in dicates that the fighter market is less lean and that in turn could mean that Salkeld may again try promoting in Salem next fall . . . The mathematical odds against a pitcher fanning 27 men in a nine in ning game are tremendous being far greater than a no-hitter or a 900 game in bowling. So all the adjectives are fully deserved by Ron Necciai of the Bristol. Tenn., club in the Cotton States League. Figur ing that each hitter has a minimum of three swings to take at the ball, that's 81 chances to ruin such a feat. The kid must have some "stuff," eh wot? . . . Willamette's baseballers didn't win any conference crown this sea son but did close out the season with a rush as they captured their last seven contests. Most polished player in the Bearcat ranks during the '52 campaign was without a doubt ex-Salem Higher Cliff Girod at his second base post. The slender lad, who played his final WU came against Portland Monday, was a fielding marvel most of the season . . . Observers rank Alva Brown, the 'Cat sophomore first sacker from Scappoose, as a man with one of the brightest futures on the club if he continues to improve. Alva needs more polish In both his fielding and hitting, but has displayed some impressive power at the dish . . . Figuring his best years were behind him, Lefty Roy Helser asked the Portland Beavers for his release last week and since has signed as skipper of the Drain Red Sox in the Southwest Oregon circuit, rated as perhaps the state's strongest semi-pro loop. Now that Roy has vacated the pro ranks for good, some again will venture the question as to just how far Helser might have gone if he had leaned to his hitting talent rather than his pitching. The burly southpaw al ways had plenty of hurling "stuff but was long plagued by control trouble. As for his hitting, ask folks who have seen some of his more prodigious feats such as the titanic wallop swatted at Silverton's Mc Oinnls Field back in the late 1930s . . . Grace Leading Coast Batters SAN FRANCISCO (JP) - Joe Grace, left handed hitting handy man of the San Francisco Seals, had a plate average of .339 through last Sunday to paco Pa cific Coast League batters who have appeared in 45 or more games. Outfielders Bill McCawley of San Francisco and Max West of Los Angeles shared the lead for runs batted in, each with 31, and West tapped the home run hitters with 13. Stojack, Wallick End in Draw; Both Frank Stojack and Leo Wallick kayoed each other with a flying tackle in their mat mainer at the Armory last night and wound up in a draw. Both were flat on their backs, groggy from the Impact of the spectacular head-to-head tackle, when Ref eree Harry Elliott finished the necessary toll and called proceed ings even. Stojack cam to fastest, and hopped on the prone Wallick to pin him. But Elliott didn't allow it, insisting that the match had officially ended. Wallick had gained the first fall Bevens is commuting to and from Portland yhere the Seals are cur rently engaged in a PCL series. He's slated to pitch against the Beavers Thursday night, accord ing to Seals Manager Tommy Heath. Bevens joined the Seals shortly over a week ago when Cincinnati sold him to the Coast League club on a 30-day trial ba sis. The righthander who won 20 games for the Salem Senators last season, and who was drafted in December by Cincinnati, says he's in great shape. He looks it. "I've never weighed less than I do now since I've been in base ball," he says, "and I've never felt better." Bev hefts a trim 210 pounds, which is almost 30 less than he carried the October 3, f -J I P : , J KID MATTHEWS Metz Narrowly Misses Record CHICAGO CffVDick Metz of Ar kansas City, Kan., missed an all time record by one stroke and led a group of 104 players who quali fied the past week for the Pro fessional Golfers Association's 1952 tournament. Metz, 44-year-old veteran who announced Tuesday his return to tournament play, shot a 66-66 132 in the Oklahoma section tourney at Enid. The score was 10 under Sar. He used 38 strokes on each of le nine-hole tours. The total was Just one stroke more than Rod Munday, of York, Pa., shot last year in registering In the gruelling, pressing mix, us ing an assortment of bus rough stuff to do it. He failed In two tries to apply his pile-driver spe cial, however. And at the same time Stojack couldn't get his air plane spin or giant whirl on the burly villain despite coming close on two occasions. Stojack got the second fall with a flying dropkick and following rolling scissors. The match grew rough In the third canto and ended abruptly when the two cut loose with a tackle at the same time, crashing head-on.

He hasn't yet won for the Seals in two starts, but has come close both times. In his debut he was downed by Hollywood, 4-3, a game in which he gave seven hits and walked only one batter. Last Sat urday against Seattle Bev pitched 12 innings, allowing only six hits and walking but one batter. He went out after the 12 heats with a 1-1 score and Seattle went on to win in the game in the 19th in ning, 5-1. Even after the 12 innings of work Bill felt no tightness or pain in the arm that cut short his major league career when it went dead in 1948.

Bill Melby came through for the win in his scientific and fact-moving prelim with newcomer Buddy Gilbert, and Steve (Tiger) Nenoff and Hal Kanner went to a draw In the commencer. Bevens Even though he hasn't yet won game, the pitcher Is happy to be with the Seals. He's getting a regular turn at the mound. He didn't get to pitch a single ball for Cincinnati. The fact that he has walked but two batters in 17 innings with San Francisco, and has given only 13 hits in that span is proof enough that the 34-year-old Isn't yet ready for the scrap pile.

Victoria won Monday night's opening game here, 5-3. Two lefthanders are the prob able pitchers for the Senators in the Wednesday double bill. Bob Collins, owner of a 4-2 record, and Larry Mann who has won one and lost three, are the likely flingers for Manager Hugh Luby s visitors. Victoria may counter with two lefties also, Cal Mclrvin and Jim Propst. Lefthander Ben Lorino subdued the Salems Monday night for the league leaders. What with cutting down time in the league due tonight at mid night, the Senators must turn loose one player. The club is now one member over the limit of 18. Manager Hugh Luby has not yet revealed the name of the player to be cut loose. All teams must tonight trim their rosters to include no more than nine veteran players and not less than two rookies. The Sen ators are well within both limits. Next Sunday's doubleheader at Waters Field with Tri-City will start at 7 p.m., rather than the usual 6:30 starting time. The ex tra half hour was granted to Tri City's club which will have to hustle to make the local date in asmuch as the Braves will not be able to leave Victoria until Sun day morning. Bill Robertson, Oregon State athletic trainer, will do his fam ous "Casey at the Bat" poems as an added feature for the Sunday twin bill.

Rodriguez, whom Brooklyn peddled to Chi cago from its Montreal farm club, has committed only two errors in 192 chances at third base to top the league with a .980 percentage. Courtney, an ex-Yenkee farm hand, has done even better. The bespectacled catcher, traded to the Brownies last fall, ls fielding a perfect 1.000.
