On Woodcock Battered British Boxer Eyes Return By STERLING SLAPPET LONDON (A Bruce Wood cock, a carved and battered old fellow by the standards of boxing, leans across the counter of bis pub in Bolsover these days, im patiently telling people: Tm feeling on top of the world." Then Woodcock leans back to Wait a while longer before he finds out if he ever will f igh again. The case of the shattered, fallen idol, only 33 years old, rests with the British Boxing. Board of Con trol. The board may or may not give the one - time prominenl heavyweight of Nottingham a li cense to box again. Now the board won't even say when its decision will be reacheW woodcock, who openerr nis ca reer in 1942, might still be ranked as one of the world s better heavyweights if he just hadn't fought Americans. For 4 years he whipped ev eryone in his path in Britain. Then he sampled the American heavy weight market and that was a mistake. Tami Mauriello, now an almost forgotten heavy who sever quite made the grade, needed only live rounds to knock out Wood' cock. The Briton came home and took up again his run through the European ranks. But he was am bitious and again took on an American Joe BaksL Baksi finished the Job Mauriello started. He crumpled Woodcock's Jaw with one of the hardest rights ever thrown. At Earls Court fat London in November, 19S0, Woodcock took another beating. This time it was from a fellow Englishman, Jack Gardner, and Woodcock said he was finished forever. Last March Woodcock looked ever the world heavyweight fight er supply and, like a lot of other observers, he noted weaknesses. His old ambition plagued him and he asked the BBBC for a chance to come back. The BBBC then said a firm, "no." Today, Woodcock waits again, unmindful of his battered jaw, the eye which Gardner pummeled and all those other wounds. mix' 7. -v. r-nrnrrnr t ir m nwi'i nr",iiiiii m m,i i m i win m miiu iuljiiiii ji m It's to be a big week for baseball in Salem, and these three lads win be taking a part in it. Catcher Bob Nelson (center) will be with the Senators when they open the 1953 WI League season Friday afternoon and night at Waters Field. Cart Jantxe (left) and Wayne Osbom (right) are members of Salem High's anbeaten Vikings who today try for their eighth straight conquest in an afternoon mix with ML AngeL also at Waters Field. Willamette U has a Friday date too, with LInfield at McCnl loch Stadium. 'Cat Traclanen Seek Third in Victory String Ted OgdahTs Willamette Uni versity thinclads seek third straight dual meet win of the season this- afternoon at S p.m. at McCulloch Stadium as tbey battle the OCE Wolves. The Bearcats also have another dual engagement, that being with Pacific Badgers here Friday afternoon. The Oedahl troupe, rated one of the top threats for the North west Conference crown, turned in an impressive performance Fridar as they crushed the Linfield Wildcats 109tt to 21tt. Feature of the win was the establishment of a new school record in the discus by Layton Gilson as he tossed the platter 135 3". That broke the former mark of 132 held by himself. Four Runs in Fourth IPadres Clip Heavers -0 In fJJakeup Same EMMETT ASHFORD This, that, etc: No one seems to know much about just what the Calgary Stampeders have in the way of a ball club for their inaugural WI League splash with the resident Senators here Friday. But whoever and whatever, tis hoped tnat their manager hasn't taught 'em to hit home runs like he used to. The Calgary skipper is Gene Lil lard who, during his active days as a Coast League third baseman, thought nothing of socking from 40 to 50 round trippers per sea son. He smacked 58 one season for Los Angeles, which was only two shy of the PCL record of 60 which is held by the late Tony Lazzeri when he played for the old Salt Lake City club . . . Vil lager Steve Tabacchi visited the Senators spring camp at Calisto ga last week as a measure of get ting away from it all for a few days here at home. But lo, the poor guy was decked at every turn. The fights he watched on TV were sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon. The ball games he lis tened to on the radio were spon sored by Falstaff. And when he tuned in to some swing music nnp nicht it was "I.uckv La Per Dance Time." Only good break the Brew 66 chief had came when he rolled box cars as his crew in a friendly i hip-captain-crew dice game one eve . . . They haven't provided our favorite ball team with any help yet, but who can be mad at the Sacramento Solons after their grand job of pinch-hitting for the San Diego club here last night? Luby & Co. was left on a limb when the Padres had to cancel their scheduled appearance. But Eddie Mulligan, Gene De Sautels, etc., filled the gap admirably, and with but two days no tice . - Mgr. DeSautels, once a great catcher, and bnortstop Kicme Myers have also agreed to be at the main table Thursday when Jim Mosolf and the local service clubs turn loose their big "Welcome Senators" luncheon at the Armory . . . Incidentally, Mosolf and the service clubbers would like to see lots n lots of women at the luncheon. The spread is open to the gals too ... Reason Why So Many Ex-WIUert Nous in PCL What's the reason for so many former WI Leaguers now dotting the Coast Loop rosters? It's the new PCL "open classi fication" trend, and that portion of it which forbids members from accepting optional help from the major league clubs. Pants Rowland's circuit, still foolishly trying to go big time, isn't supposed to take optionees from either the American or National Leagues. Thus the replacements for such optionees have been made from the rank and file of our Class A circuit. We can't say the caliber of baseball is any better because of it, but at least the former WI lads are now getting the best oppor tunity they've ever had in hopping from this league to the PCL Prexy Bob Brown hasn't yet publicized the placement of his empires for the WIL openers the coming weekend, and we dont therefore know if Emmett Ashford will make his debut in the Sa- lem-Calgary series here. But wait until you get a peek at Ashford in action. He's the only Negro arbiter in organized baseball and, after watching the guy work a couple of spring training games in California it s safe to say hell be the most active. - He has more umpiring gestures than a fan dancer ea a busy night, and gives both ballplayers and fans an overdose ef extracurricular activities around home plate. But he doesn't seem to be a bad one en the important issue ef called balls and strikes, and is an all-out hustler. This will be Ashford's third season in professional baseball. A Los Angelino, he also referees Coast Conference basketball in the Southern Division. The Oregon, Oregon State Gf id Schedules So many requests have come in during the last couple jot months from folks wanting to know the 1953 Oregon aftd Oregon State football schedules that well print both here.

He scored on Lou Stringer's single after advancing on a single by Earl Rapp. Portland Pitcher Royce Lint walked Dain Clay to load the bases. Then Red Mathis connected with a single to bring home Rapp and Stringer. Clay was scored on Don Eggert's wild throw to first on Bill Thomason s grounder. Lint held San Diego hitless for the rest of the game. Thomason gave up omy three hKs to Port' land. The game, which made up one postponed by rain last Thursday, ended San Diego s series here.

(A A bill to make sports bribery il legal in Missouri went to the gov ernor Monday. under the bill it would be a felony to bribe or try to bribe any athlete amateur or pro fessional to throw a sports contest or shave the point score. An athlete could be convicted of a misdemeanor with lesser penal- es, it be accepted a bribe. The bill, passed Monday by the House of Representatives, was sponsored by a special committee working -to bring Missouri's crim inal laws up to date. Sponsors said they wanted to avoid the kind of sports scandals which have rocked some states. Padres Drop J. Salveson SAN DIEGO.

The court reversed a jury ver dict which directed the Philadel phia National League club to pay damages to Mrs. Reba Schentzel of Allentown, Pa. She was hit by a batted ball in Shibe Park. Phil adelphia. The Superior Court judges said a spectator at a ball game "voluntarily assumes the risk of being struck by a batted or thrown ball." Counsel for Mrs. Schentzel had argued it was the ball club's legal duty to provide exceptional pre cautions toward women patrons, "many of whom are ignorant of the hazards involved in the game." It was br far the most Im- nressive and one-sided .win any Salem team has ever registered over a PCL opponent.

'With a team batting mark of 462 so far, they are definitely hitless. j But they haven't done anything to prove they are wonders, like the 1906 White Sox who averaged only .228, but won the American League pennant and beat the Chi cago Cubs four games to two in the World Series. I Billed as flag contenders this season, tne Sox have had to be held up mostly by luck in winning two games in four starts. ! They downed the St. Louis Browns 1-0, getting the decisive run without a hit They edged the Cleveland Indians 7-6 with only two of the tallies being earned and the winning run made on an error. ; Of the 52 Sox to reach first base, only 12 have scored - and only six of, those runs have been earned. The Sox, heralded as a great defensive club, have committed seven errors in their first four games and the pitching has been punctured for 18 runs. 24 hits and 25 walks in 35 innings.
