1 (Sec 2) Statesman, Salem. Ore-. WeeL April 21, 1954 Turner, Jones Scrap Tonight Gil After Revenge For Previous Loss By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA i Gil turn er, who insists he only has eyes. tor Kid Gavilan. fights Bobby Jones here Wednesday night for the right to meet Joey Giardello. If that sounds as clear as the mud in your eye, that's the way it's meant to sound. This nation ally televised return match be tween Turner and Jones of Oak land, Calif., has more ramifica tions than football's "sucker shift." Let's start this story of intrigue at the beginning. You see, last March 24, Jones, a 3-1 underdog, won a split decision over Turner. Almost everyone at ringside agreed Jones won. One judge, apparently watching through one eye, called it a draw. Promoter Herman Taylor said the crowd there were about 1, 200 customers clamored for a return bout. So, after much dick ering over money and weights, the promoter obliged. An unestimated throng, plus the CBS TV audience can sit in on the encore starting at 7 p.m. PST) Wednesday night. Turner's manager George Kali, Insists his boy has completed the cycle of welterweight to middle weight and back to welterweight. Katz is angling, so he says, for a Turner-Carmine Basilio fight, the winner to meet Gavilan for the 147 pound crown. Meanwhile, he keeps Turner at 151 pounds or more and campaigns against middleweights. Giardello Next Maybe Should the 23-year-old Turner re verse the last Jones verdict, pro moter Taylor says he'll face Gi ardello in an outdoor ball park show this summer. Giardello is listed as the next challenger for Carl (Bobo" Olson's 160-pound ti tle and holds one decision over Turner. Katz says nothing when Giardello's name is mentioned. After all. Turner's a welterweight, remember. The 29-year-old Jones, father of four, seems to have the most at stake in this scheduled 10-round battle. Another win over Turner is supposed to earn him the Giar dello shot. If he's licked, the Jones boy will drift back into the ob scurity he emerged from with his triumph here a month ago. If Jones can fight anything like he did in his last meeting with Phil adelphia Gil, he should repeat. Another odd thing about this strange-as-it-may-seem return bout Is the odds. Turner, a well beaten gladiator in the first Jones clash, is a 2-1 wagering choice. Turner has won 42 and lost 5. while Jones carries a 36-19 and 8 draws record into action. Softball Men Meet Tonight Election of officers, final plans for the coming season nd changes in the constitution will be items of business at an im portant Salem Softball Associa tion tonight, 8 o'clock, at the Sen ior High School. Jim Dimit, city director, asks that all teams plan ning to play in either of the city's two leagues have representatives on hand for the session. Dimit adds that there are still slots open in both the City and Industrial circuits and any inter ested teams should sign up as soon as possible. A AU Boxing Meet To Start Monday BOSTON OP The 66th national A A. U. boxing championships open Monday with attention fo cused on the 10-man San Francisco team representing the area which has won the most titles in the past. Heavyweight Rueben Vargas, a San Francisco slugger of Mexican descent, leads his team into the three - day event. Trials will be held Monday and Tuesday with the semi - finals and finals Thursday. About 150 boxers from 24 states and Hawaii are expected to take part in the championships. Braves Rout Yakima KENNEWICK The Tri-City Braves exploded with eight runs in the first inning for impetus, then slugged along to a 16-8 West ern International League exhibition baseball victory over Yakima Tuesday. Six hits and three Yakima errors helped compile the eight - run frame. Yakima's catcher Lon Summers hit a home run in the fifth. Bob Moniz of Tri-City had a fat day at the plate, getting five hits in six times at bat, including three doubles. Sport Short Duke University shot-putter Durham Lawshe holds tie Atlan tic Coast Conference indoor and outdoor records for that event. Birdie Tebbetts, manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs, was graduat ed from Providence, R. I., college with honors in 1934. He majored in philosophy. The first night opening game in American League history was in 1951 when Washington de feated Philadelphia 6-1 at Connie Mack Stadium. During the 1953 season Al Rosen of the Cleveland Indians hit "grand slam" homers off pitchers Bill Wight and Marion Fricano.

Hauk Tossers Belt Lebanon LEBANON (Special) The highflying Salem High Vikings crashed to their fifth straight vic tory of the campaign Tuesday afternoon as they smothered the error-plagued Lebanon Warriors 18-4 in district action. It was the No. 3 district win for Coach Har old Hauk's Vikings. Salem belted out 11 hits in the abbreviated six-inning mix to the five given Lebanon by pitchers Jack Loy and Gary Smith and the winners were helped by 11 enemy miscues. The Viks got off to a fast start with four runs in the first inning and put the clinches on with a seven-run blast in the fourth that saw six hits paraded over the premises and ten men going to bat. Two more Sa lem tallies came in the fifth and five more in the sixth and last frame. Big blows in the big fourth were doubles by Don Pigsley and Jack Loy. The four Lebanon runs were yielded by Loy in his five innings of work and Smith then came in for the sixth and fanned the side. Loy picked up two doubles and a single and knocked in three runs and Tom Pickens belted in four with a double and single. Fred Bolton and Twink Pederson were other Salem hitting leaders. Salem plays host to Mt. Angel Wednesday, 3:45, at Waters Park.

By Jimmy Hatlo Notch Wins Record Falls In Track Win Ray Taylor established a new all-time Salem High mark in the discus Tuesday at Olinger Field as Coach Vern Gilmore's Vikings routed the McMinnville Grizzlies 111 to 11 in a dual affair. Taylor hurled the platter 146' 14", to surpass by a big margin the pre vious Salem mark of 138' made by Ray Loter back in 1942. Taylor also won the shotput and javelin events as the Vikings took 13 firsts out of 14 and made a clean sweep in six departments. Mike Chase captured both the Hurdle events for the Viks and shared top honors in the high jump with teammate Don Zeh. The lone McMinnville first was picked up by Duane Shaw in the mile as he beat out Salem's Jon Castle. Other Salem firsts: Jim Ander son in the 100; Walt Craycroft in the 440; Del Funk, 220; Jim Knacp, 880; Gordy Domagolla, broad jump; Craig Gately and Ed Keecn tie in pole vault; Salem re lay team of Jim Anderson, N'eal Scheidel, Del Funk and Terry Salisbury.

OB Sam Snead arrived on the scene of the $35,000 tournament of champions early Tuesday, took a long nap and then headed for the Desert Inn Country Club for a practice round of golf. The West Virginia star for the second straight year is favored to win the $10,000 top money for the 72-hole event which stalls Thurs day, but the picture is very dif ferent this time. Sam is fresh Jrom a notable vic tory, registered in a playoff for the epic Masters with the redoubt able Ben Hogan. And even more to the point, Samuel Jackson Snead is not suffering from the miseries of an aching hand. "Feel pretty good," said Snead to host professional Howard Capps, who dreamed up this tour nament as an event restricted to winners of a major open tourna ment during the previous 12 months. "Pretty good" was hardly the word for Snead last year. He suf fered recurrence of a bone injury in his left hand and proceeded to blow the works. Included from the 1953 field is Al Besselink, the longshot winner of the tournament and regarded as just as much an outsider this year. Besselink's winning score was 280. Rated close to Snead is Lloyd Mangrum, who finished in a tie for third. Mangrum toured the 7,102- Vince Lombard!, line coach of the New York football Giants, was on the dean's honor list for four years at Fordhara and was graduated cum laude.
