moments since one Ooi Leine
Ich time to Portland, .and left,
and their opinions, after watch

$107.60 per second for 15 sec
ond of fighting, are-varied.
Some are convinced the boy, cot
mixed up with the mart and
shouldn't do It train. Others, the
around-home gents, f I f n r e
Wood burn Joe Just couldn't go
on forever without getting his
clock cleaned, so rot It cleaned,
but good, by a ray who knows
how to wear the llfhtheary title
belt. In either Instance,! the
Rrminrton rattlers didn't have a

scrap didn't last that lonr. What
Joe Waterman. Tex Kalkeld,
Jack Capri St Co. wUl do with
Woodburn Joe from now on
should rive 'cm a few mid-week
topic, however. Saturday morn
we heard aj few disgruntled

with an SI seat, got there Just
In time to ae Joe hopping the

exactly what Manager Capri

We don't know much about

one guy should always try to lift
another's puns before he gets

maintained ever since Kahut

that his handlers should have
taken him out of Portland for at

battle the up-and-coming Dra

favored In all three tussles. Sil
verton draws the round's bye and
all games are to be preliminaried

to gallop with the Salems, were
content to take their time In both

Looms for LA
LOS ANGELES, Jan. U-iffi)-
Even if It has to use the 20,000
seat Oilmore stadium, Don Ame
che's pro football team is going
ahead with Its plans.
The actor, one of the principal
owners of the Los Angeles ran
chise In the new All-America con
ference, indicated today that his
club will try to get the use of
the 30.000 - seat coliseum when
the coliseum commission meets
tomorrow to determine playing
rights for next season.
Another petitioner for playing
rights is expected to be the Rama
club of the National Professional
Football league, recently trans-!
ferred to Los Angeles from Cleve
land. The National league yesterday
reached an agreement with Pa
cific coast circuits other than
the All-America conference to
avoid conflicts in playing dates.
This may lead to a conflict in
dates between the All-America
entry here and one or the . other
of the National or coast clubs.

(laws Holds Kahut
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-P)-The
national boxing association
issued Its quarterly score card on
the toughness of the boys in the
sock-em profession tonight and
put pressure on all the top rank
ers to prove their right to the
championship rating.
Abe J. Greene, NBA president,
seeking to cut a pattern for other
sports in the expected postwar
boom, called on "all champions"
to sign by April 1 for titlo-defenxe
matches to be held by June 1.
The Joe Louis-Billy Conn heavy
weixht title bout would be an
exception since they already have
signed for "some time In June."
Greene suggested that interest in
boxing would be stimulated jf
Louis and Conn, particularly the
latter, had some warm-up bouts.
Archie Moore, St. Louis, light
heavy; Rocky Graziano, New York
middleweight, and Beau Jack,
Georgia, welterweight, moved into
high contending positions in the
ratings.
With leading fighters rapidly
returning from the armed forces,
a wholesale shakeup in the ratings
is forseen by the time the next
quarterly ratings tome out. The
current ratings for bouts up to
Jan. 3 include:
