- Causes Joe's Ouster
CHICAGO ( The Chicago
Cardinals, directed by seven head
coaches in four years, fired Joe
Kuharich who made his debut as
I field boss last season.

imet with the club's board of di
i rectors. '
Walter Wolfner. general director,
' said Kuharich will be paid for the
; remaining year of his two-year con
l tract, an estimated $14,000.
' Wolfner said ah immediate
l search for a successor was under
l way, -
r Stydahar Considered
' Most prominently mentioned can-
didates are Joe Stydahar, former
head coach of the Lbs Angeles
i rams, now affiliated with the Green
" Bay Packers, and George Wilson,
1 assistant with the Detroit Lions.
Kuharich's 1952 Cardinal team
i won four of 12 National Football
1 League starts, finishing in a last
place tie' with the Washington Red
: skins in the NFL's American Con-
ference.
: He had joined the Cardinals fresh
from directing the University of
I Ban Francisco through an unbeat
en 1951 season.
The pawns in the losing game
for Kuharich was assistants ' Mike
Nixon and Bill Daddio. -
The Cardinal front office claimed
neither Nixon or Daddio could get
co-operation from the players This

swap for Ray McNulty, and noting
that the advance sale of tickets
for the forthcoming season is
moving along in appreciable shape
ha. Messrs. Williams, Pade, Bone
Steele, Holman and Paulus feel
ing that the 1953 campaign will
be the most successful any Sena
tors team has ever had.
General Manager Hugh Luby
swung the deal for Bevens, the
big former New York Yankees
righthander who notched 20 vic
tories for the 1951- Salems. The
move also provided a break for
19-game winner McNulty, who was
going to give up the baseball
ghost if he didn't get another try
with a Coast League team next
spring.
Bevens himself was all smiles
Wednesday, for he had earlier in
dicated he wanted to play in the
Northwest in 1953 rather than in
San Francisco. He will be pitcher
coach for the '53 Senators.
The club directors are also elated
over the strong possibility that the
Coast League Seals will send two
or three optioned players to Salem
next season. The Senators already
have a limited working agreement
with both the San Diego and Sac
ramento clubs.
"What with the way the ticket
sales are going," Board President
Bruce Williams said Wednesday,
"we'll be able to step out and
buy a player or two who can hit.
We've been handicapped in the
past because of lack of funds with
which to buy players. But we've
got some money now, and if Luby
wants to buy someone he can af
ford to do it !
"After looking over our reserve
list of players, realizing that wo
might come up with some valuable
help from the Coast League teams
and knowing that we can afford
to buy a good player or two.'
Williams elaborated, "I'm looking
forward to the biggest and best
baseball season in Salem's his
tory." Meanwhile fans are urged to get
their tickets as soon as possible.
They're still on sale at Wicklund's,
Warner Motors, Pades State Street
Grocery and Bonesteele Stude

or 11 for $10. The tickets will be
good for any league game here

Amateur
By CHARLES IRELAND
Sports Writer, The Statesman
Salem's Battling Nelson dropped an extra-close decision to Carl
ton Lincoln of Portland Wednesday night in the main go of a 12-bout
amateur card at the Salem Armory.
The dusky Portlander kept pounding his right to Nelson's heart
and had the popular Salem fight
er winded at the finish.
Even so, it was a nip-and-tuck
decision. Both ringside Judges
gave Lincoln a slight edge. Ref
eree Bobby Richards' scorecard
came out even, but he made it
unanimous by giving his vote to
Lincoln on cleaner punching.
Both fighters were agressive -plus
and it was dog-eat-dog all the
way. Nelson came out swinging
with his favorite bolo punches and
drove Lincoln into the ropes, but
the round ended even up.
Lincoln got in his best licks in
the second round and opened a
gash under Nelson's right eye. It
was believed to be the first time
the battler had been cut in his ring
career.
The decision made it two-in-a-row
and two-out-of -three for the
Portland fighter over Nelson. But
the outcome was so close that a
featured rematch seems assured.
835 Watch Boats
The bouts were witnessed by 833
cash customers, and sponsoring Sa
lem Cherrians hoped the net re
ceipts would add close to a grand
to the March of Dimes.
A pair of 150-pound Albany lads
provided a lot of action in the
other 11 bouts which saw four
technical knock-outs but no Real
McCoys. All bouts were three
rounds.
Howard Meredith of Albany won
the nod over Bob Davis, Eugene, in
the most popular preliminary.
Looking bigger than the 150
pounds they were billed at, the
Dempsey-style sluggers went at it
hammer and tongs. The unanimous
decision for Meredith pleased the
crowd,.
The other Albany fighter, Ray
Hoskins, was the victim of a tJc.o.
in 1:10 of the third round after
gamely absorbing a lot of punish
ments from Frank Hisgen, Eugene,
who had the reach on him.'
Virgil (Curly) Dyer, popular Sa
lem bantamweight, hammered
Buddy Mergen thaler (Tongue
Point Naval Station) with a good
left to win a unanimous decision.
Balthrop Loses
Salem's other two boxers took it
on the chin. Billy Balthrop, fight
ing at 128, started carrying the
fight to Dale Moore (Portland
PAL) and ran into a hail of pun
ches that left him groggy, on the
ropes. The referee stopped , the
fight with 50 seconds gone in the
second.
Mack-Webb, Salem 165-pounder,
dropped a close decision to George
Jones of Portland Air Base, u,
Most calls were popular but the
crowd was u nh a p p y when the
judges awarded the nod to Bob
Davis (Tongue Point) over Stan
ley Kromerek (Eugene) in a 140
pound match that was one of the
best on the card.
The only thing close to a knock
out came when Announcer Milton
Guptil of Portland pulled down the
ring-center, "mike and conked
himself with , a bong heard all over
the armory.

PHILADELPHIA Statisti
cal material, including figures,,
maps and a dissertation on the
coaxial cable and micro wave re
lays, slowed the government's anti
trust suit against the National Foot
ball League Wednesday.
; The government is charging . in
U.S. District Court that the NFL's
television policy violates the Sher
man Anti-Trust Act. Briefly the
government says that the NFL can
not delegate territories to its 12
member clubs and give them ex
clusive rights to radio broadcast
and telecast of league games in
those areas.
Groundwork Laid
During the first three days of the
trial before Judge Alan K. Grim,
the government has been attempt
ing to lay the groundwork for its
case. Most of the material has
been of a technical nature.
It all boils down to this. The gov
ernment contends that each in
dividual team has a right to de
cide when, where and if it will
televise games.
Morton R. Galane, an attorney
for the Dumont television network,
has been in the courtroom observ
ing the proceedings. Galane told
reporters Dumont has been con
sidering a similar suit against the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation based on the NCAA tele
vision policy. -
