Lester Winner
Of Glove Honors
. Eoston, April 4 Ui Seventeen-year-old
Charley Lester, who got
up twice from the canvas to stave
off defeat, was the nation's new
amateur heavyweight champion
today because he wouldn't stop
swinging.
The Cleveland youngster won
the title from a fellow Ohloan,
James Brown of Cincinnati, but it
looked for a while as if he would
n't gain anything but a rest In the
first aid room. That was when
Brown sent Lester down for a
seven count and then an eight
count in the first round. But the
240-pound Lester staggered to his
feet and fought his way back,
sending Brown down for a five
count in the second and outpoint
ing him in the third.
Oklahoma's Indian boys from
the Fort Sill reservation won the
national team title by taking two
bouts, Amos Alison winning the
118-pound title and Virgil Frank
lin finishing with the 126-pound
laurels.

From the way the nimrods have
been talking all winter, it's a ques
tion whether it's really worth
while going out for that scant
haul. Most fishermen talk a bag
five times that size in any one
day during the winter season.
There's one thing to remember:
don't try to snare any bullfrogs
with your hat or try to spear
them. They're classified as game
fish and may be taken only by
hook and line. The law might as
well have included the sinker, too,
for all the bullfrogs care." Bull
frogs are to be not less than four
inches in length, and a dozen is
considered enough to have In pos

leagues call off their baseball i

support among the game's execu
tives today. J.
In contrast to D-day when all
schedules were cancelled,, most
league presidents seemed to feel
that V-E day should call for cele
bration with baseball parks a fit
locale. ' "
Although the matter is one for
the club owners of each circuit
to decide, major and minor league
heads predicted nothing would be
done about it. The proposal was
advanced unofficially by Sid
Keener, sports editor of the St.
Louis Star-Times, i : i ,-
5, What little support the idea re
ceived came from William Har
r!dge, president of the American
league, and Billy Evans, head of
the Southern association.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'd
be glad to close all the ball parks
tomorrow If it were V-E day,"
Harridge told the United Press,
adding, however, that no plans
had been made and '"we'll have
to meet that when we get to It."
Evans said V-E day was of
"such magnitude that it deserves
proper observance," but he wasn't
too sure that it should include
calling off ball games.

Bears Get Ready
For Track Meet
Central Oregon's first lnter
school track meet of the 1945 sea
son and Bend's first home com
petition in three years will be
held here Friday afternoon when
the Bears, Redmond and Prine
ville will Join in a triangular
"warmer upper," in preparation
for big meets Just ahead: For the
past three seasons, the Bears
have had to travel far afield for
competition, since Redmond and
Prineville did not engage in
spring sports. As a result, Inter
est in track dropped considerably,
with the load carried by a few
students.
This year, there has beeti a de
cided revival of interest in track,
and Redmond and Prineville are
developing promising teams. Fri
day's meet will be the first real
workout that many of the local
lads will get this spring. Most of
the boys took part in only a few
turnouts before last week's spring
vacation layoff. As a result, the
Cowboys and Panthers are ex
pected to be in much better shape,
since both held inter-class meets
last Friday. However, the Bears
will have a tew experienced men
in Rasmussen, Maudlin, McCau
ley and Brogan, which should
help even up matters. Neverthe
less, the meet should be a tossup.
Coach Cook is combing the school
for additions to his small squad,
and plans to unwrap Don Fergu
son, football halfback, as a sprint
threat. The coach hopes to dig up
another newcomer or two to
round out this department.
In Two Divisions
Friday's meet will be held In
two classifications. All boys un
der 16 on April 1 will be junior,
all boys over, senior. Separate
scores will he kept in each clas
sification. Shortened distances
will also be run, since this meet
comes so early.
Running events will be the 100,
150 and 300 yard dashes, the 660
yard and mile runs and half
distance hurdles. Two relays will
be run, a distance medley and the
regular half-mile.
C.hMl nffini.itc
School onicials were scram
bling o get the track in shape
for the meet, the first one to be
held here since the Bend relays
of 1943. Having been used only
for training purposes the track
has grown over in spots, with
grass and weeds. The whole track
Is expected to be turned over,
graded and then rolled, in prepa
ration ior tno meet.
