'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

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

Outfielders Bill McCawley of
San Francisco and Max West of
Los Angeles shared the lead for

West tapped the home run hitters
with 13.
Stojack, Wallick End in Draw;

He's slated to pitch against the
Beavers Thursday night, accord

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

games for the Salem Senators last
season, and who was drafted in
December by Cincinnati, says he's
in great shape. He looks it.

Metz, 44-year-old veteran who
announced Tuesday his return to

men were out in the ninth inning.
He hasn't yet won for the Seals

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

12 innings, allowing only six hits
and walking but one batter. He

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.

and
alts Senator-Vic
game series at Vancouver Thurs-
day night, same ending Saturday
so that the Senators can return to
Salem to play a Sunday double
header with Tri-City.
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.

Lesson in AL
NEW YORK (y?)-Two rookies
who weren't wanted Hec Rodri
guez of the Chicago White Sox and
Clint Courtney of the St. Louis
Browns are giving American
League veterans a lesson in the
fine art of fielding. 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.
The figures, released Tuesday by
the Associated Press' new statisti
