known lightweights on the Pacific
coast, will meet Joey Clemo in the
10-round main event of the card
to be presented In the high school
gymnasium Monday night, Mike
Svetic, promoter, announced to

George Ortega was originally

a fractured jaw In his fight with
Harold Dade in Tacoma, Wash.,

his regrets yesterday, when his

expressed a hope he would receive
a bid to appear on a Bend card

out a top-notch card, one good
j enough for any big-time ring,"
Svetic declared.

Johnny Groth
New Sensation
For Detroiters '
New York, April 21 UTi The
Detroit Tigers are trying to treat
centerfielder Johnny Groth as
just another human being but the
kid is making it impossible.
He simply insists on being a
phenomenon.
The rookie snatched up from
Chicago's sandlots was labeled as
a "can't miss" star, perhaps an
other Joe DiMaggio or a Tris
Speaker, more than two years
ago. But Tiger general manager
Billy Evans and Wish Egan, the-
veteran scout wno discovered
him, polished him slowly and
painstakingly on minor league
diamonds.
Has Arrived
Today, it seems, he definitely
has arrived. In just two games
the likeable 23-year-old has hit
three homers including a bases
loaded smash yesterday which
gave the Tigers a 5 to 2 victory
over the White Sox at Detroit.
He accounted for all of Detroit's
runs, also getting a double and
single as Virgil Trucks turned in
a four-hit pitching job.
In the opener he hit two hom
ers, giving him seven runs bat
ted in for two days.
Tommy Henrich of the Yan
kees also used home runs for the
second day in a row as a spring
board to victory. Henrich's homer
yesterday started Vic Raschi off
to a three-hit, 3 to 0 victory over
the Senators at New York.
Come From Behind
.The Indians came from behind
to defeat the Browns, 7 to 3. at
St. Louis although Bob Lemon
was tagged for homers by Dick
Kokos and Jack Graham.
The Athletics made it two in
a row over the Red Sox when
Sam Chapman singled home the
winning run in the ninth in a 3 to
2 decision.
Doubles by Tommy Holmes
and Phil Masi in the eighth gave
the Braves the two runs they
needed to beat the Phils, 6 to 5, at
Boston.
TheDodgers got four unearned
runs as the Giants made four er
rors in a 6 to 2 Brooklyn decision
on f5ur hits at" Ebbets field.
Young Bob Rush gave up only
three singles at Chicago in shut
ting out the Pirates, 4 to 0. He
also struck out seven batters.
Cincinnati and St; Louis had an
open date in the National.
Kenwood Assured
Of 1st Place Tie
Grade School Softball Uini Standlncs
W. L. Pet.
Kenwood 4 0 1.000
Allen 1 2 .333
St. Francis 1 2 .333
Hearklttens 1 3 .260
Kenwood assured itself of at
least a tie for the softball title in
the local grade school circuit by
turning back the 8th grade Bear
kittens by a 12 to 7 count on Troy
laundry field yesterday after
school. Behind the steady pitch
ing of veteran Tom Ray the West
Siders overcame an early Bear
kitten lead to go ahead and hold
onto a comfortable margin of vic
tory. The Allen-St. Francis clash,
which had been slated for the
same time, was postponed by St.
Francis. This clash will decide
the second place spot in the
league race.
With two-thirds of the -schedule
played the Yellowjackets
from Kenwood could lose their
two remaining games and still do
no worse than a tie. On the basis
of their showing to date It is
probable that they will win at
least one more game to give them
their first title in any sport since
formation of the league. If the
West Siders do come through to
clinch the softball crown and do
well in track they could be right
in the middle of the running for
the Snoop and Schulze award
held this year by St. Francis and
Allen jointly.
fighter, will be the third man In
the ring, with J. H. Loomis, also
well known to Bend fans, as the
announcer.
