lately holds that Emil Piluso, the

will next season take over Rich

commissioner. Which would mean
that the striped shirted showman
w-ould P4jket his whistle after 20
years of foul-finding in the confer

no one in the northwest knows as

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. A sort of
Suidy Oau deal In the summer
time for the junior ball men.
The sponsors will likely con
sider the 'Frisco Edwards offer
of Sunday schooling league impires
in ai biting mechanics, also. A pair
of lat year's league umps, Bud
Foxes (above) will form the first
Sllvertoa aha re the favorite role
to rights Dale Bennett, scoring
Carl Wick ham and IMck Arbockle.
'to '(Strfffirr.
AL LIEN
Noffsinger and Buck Hazel by
name, vow they'll, be the first to
show up for the Edwards helpful
hints program, and are convinced
the league should take advantage
of 'Frisco's generosity.

Anta Facing
Strike Threat
ARCADIA; Calif., Feb. 20MJP)
A horsemen's strike projected by
the California thoroughbred own
ers and trainers association tonight
threatened to shut down, racing at
Santa Anita park tomorrow and
posslblj Friday.
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.
Fiiicliam Holds

Bob Fincham, College of Puget
Sound's all around whiz, looped
22 markers against Pacific uni
versity this week, and the even

Anxious i to wade Into tho
11th running of their "Civil
War" basket battles, Leslie and
Parrlsh Junior high eager
started potting the finishing
touches on pre-eity champion
ship series drills last night.
Coach Bob Metxger it Parrlsh
and Bob Kenscher at Leolle an

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.

who once cavorted for Salem

the city league basketball pen

Frankie Page, who once paced
the Viks to a state prep title, was
the big gun for the Weavers last
night when the chips were down.
Page hit for 13 points, the game's
high, as well as leading the vic
tors with a nifty floor game.
Meanwhile, the losers' ace scor
ers, Cece Quesselh and Otto Sko
pil, had one of those nights when
nothing - connected, and contrib
uted but two points to the Sport

canned by the former.
The new champs set a floor
blistering pace all the way, much
to the discomfort of the Maple
Keene outfit in the final period.
Ha If time lead favored the victors
