Two Local Boxing Cards in Salem, Same Week , The adage that it never rains but what it pours applies to ths boxing situation here in town. There has been none of such animal locally for many months. But lo, in the span of four days we're to have both pro and amateur cards at the Armory. Ro tund Tex Salkeld, working with the VFWs, is to install his first professional card the Saturday night of October 10. On the fol lowing Wednesday night, October 14, the untainted fistic lads move in, their show to be sponsored by the State Employees of Marion County, with State Boxing Commission Chairman Ray Smith as ringleader. The State Employees have replaced the Cherrians as sponsor of the amateur shows here this year, as . p Smith claims the latter group didn't work hard enough at it last season . ;;V: ;";f--:, ; ' :: ' i Good bet to take over as manager of the Lewlston Broncs since Sill Brenner resigned and moved to Vancouver is Larry Barton, the veteran first sacker.

Four former WIL'ers did better than fomewhat as members of the Class AA Southern Association during he semester just completed. Bill Taylor, formerly with Bremerton.
