Playground Would Supervite Junior Baseball What with the sun doing jtudden nip-ups locally and the ball gamer bending forth in camps from Podunk to Panama to remind them baseball eason is approaching, the sponsors and officers of Salem's Junior baxeball circuit gather at noon today to talk shop. They are the gents who the past two summers have kept from 300 to 400 'teen-aged lads cuttin' and slashin' in the village leagues. The Junior men are faced with a problem next seroejter, hence the noon session. Now that Sa lem' Senator is bouncing back to occupy t baseball's center ring lo cally, the. Juniors are automatical ly relegated to secondary status. Waters park, for one thing, will not be available to the kids this year. But that uavoidable circum stance won't toll out kid baseball in the town. That's here to stay, we pray. Realizing that the Junior ball men are faced with managerial and playground shortages for the summer, Gurnee Flexher, the city's summer playground brws, has con cocted a plan. It's a good plan, strong on the salvation side, and it will be Prenident Oliver Hus ton's top topic for the meeting. That plan goes something like this: Saltation of Sport Heaum for Offer The league names, constitutions, laws and by-laws will remain the same. A commission will be form ed from league officers. The city playground system will assume governorship of the leagues, pro ducing in turn three up-to-snuff parks on which to play. A full time coach and grounds-keeper will be hired by the playground syMem for each 'of the three yards during the summer. Umpires will be hired (and paid) by the play grounds system. All sponsors and coaches in all leagues b be ap proved by the.. playgrounds depart ment. - - - In thort, Flesher and his play ground flock will shoujder the headache end of the summer ses sion as part of the annual play ground season. Why, you ask? Simply because Flesher L Co. wishes to see the summer baseball for kid continue in the village and is willing to expand, at a cat, Hie playground progiarn to accom modate the leagues.

The decision to strike came after a committee representing the asso ciation met with chairman Loyd Wright of the California horse racing board after the last race today. " i "We've been pushed around long enough;" said one committee mem ber. "Now we're going to press the trigger." The .horsemen set forth two grievances: (l) they want the track to pay groom and exercise boys awards Instead of taking them out of purses; and (2) they seek assurance that races for which only six horses are named be run.

Coach Bob Metxger it Parrlsh and Bob Kenscher at Leolle an nounce rewpeeUve squads ara set for the! opening of the series Friday night at Leslie. The two' rivals will go again a week from Friday night at Jack Von Dies After Boxing Bout At Armory; Knockouts Dot Armory Scraps Sullivan, Moore, Brown Post Wins By A! IJfhtner Jack Von, broad-shouldered 180-pound prize fighter, died last night at a local hospital following a boxing match with Bobby Ford, 178-pound Portland negro, at the armory. Hospital attendants reported Von died 20 minutes af ter he entered the hospital and that an autopsy would probably be performed today to determine cause of death, Ford, who gave his age as 18, and his ring second, Adolph A. Caputo, 30, were held by police on an open charge last night. The district attorrey will decide to day if a coroner's Inquest will be held, according to Lawrence Os terman, deputy district attorney. Von, 22, and in hi fourth pro fessional fight last night after serving with the marine corps during the war, had the better of his six-round rematch with Ford through the fourth round. But in the fifth Ford drove Von through the ropes with a series of punches. Von recovered and the two went into another flurry. Ford again "punched Von toward the ropea and this time Von's head struck the center rope vio lently bs he went down. Referee Packy McFarland stopped the fight at this point and awarded the win to Ford via technical knockout. Von staggered to his corner under his own power and then collapsed. His seconds worked over him feverishly but could not help him regain conscious ness. He was carried from the lammed building on a stretcher and was rushed to the hospital. Although listing himself as be ing a Salem fighter, Von came from Aurora. Hospital attend ants report his father is Jack Von, sr., of that city. The younger Von had fought Ford twice before, losing both , times via decisions. Ford won a four-round verdict over him in Portland a month ago. and again won in four rounds here two weeks ago in a bruling slugging match. Von was examined before the fight by Salem Boxing Commis sion Physician Dr. M. E. Gadwa and was found to be physically fit to enter the ring, according to Gadwa. The entire show was rlproatii ous in itself and was witnessed by the largest crowd of the sea son. The house grossed well over $1900 and every one of the five bouts ended either in a knockout or technical knockout Duane (The Durable) Hoag, Tex Salkeld's two-fisted 127 pound dynamiter from Portland, notched his thJrd straight local win in the main event by plaster ing Young Freddie Steele, Van couver, B.C. champion with a TKO in 2:20 of the sixth round. Hoag, aggressive as a bull and boring In throughout, had the bet ter of the going all the way with the exception of the third heat, an even round. Tha Canadian southpaw, previously unbeaten in the pro ring and heralded as the featherweight champion of Brit ish Columbia, was definitely no push over He stung Hoag many times with aolid' letts and rights, but always took two or three himself for the Singles After'a torrid fifth round In which both batOers tried full-heartedly to lay awsy the other by kayo, the stan za taken by Hoag via his trlt slug ting, the Canadian weakened In the sixth. Hoag hammered hlirt Into a cor ner and hit him with at least 40 lefts and right. The Csnuck covered up and refused to come out. Finally Ref eroe Mcrarland pulled Hoag away and gave him the duke In 2:20. There were no protests from the Steele corner. Tlie other stx-rouna semiwinaup Hibbard hsd wafted with the sharp shooting Sullivan on even terms for two rounds, he hit the deck for two nine-counts in the third. The rotund Tony Calento-like Hibbard ws saved by the bell In the fourth, but he was no match for Sullivan In the fifth as Referee McFarland lofted the letter's hand after 38 seconds of more solid punishment, Both four-round prelims ended In knockouts and both amounted to bad nights for the Bobby Ambrose boys, Loquacious Jimmie Garrison and Reno Jackson. Garrison, who claimed he had never been knocked off his feet In over 300 ameteur fights, was chilled but cleanly in 2:20 of the first round in his 138-pound tiff with Kid Brown of Portland. It was Brown's first pro flKht also. I .eon Moore, 131-pound Sa lem lad, put away Jackson in 2:18 of the second In Uielr tiff. It was Moore's third straight win locally.
