BOOKED FOR
BALL LEAGUE
By JIM PREBLE
Organization was effected at Al
bany last night of the Willamette
valley .ascbalt league when Presi
dent George J. Wilhelm of Harris
burg met with the organization com
mlttee of Leo Edwards, manager of
the Salem Senators, Clyde Rupert of
Albany, and Donald Husband of Eu
gene.
The league will be made up of six
teams, Salem, Albany, Eugene, Cot
tage Grove, Wendling, and one other
team to be selected later from
among these three, the Shell Oil
team of Portland, McMlnnville, or
Bend.
Many details of the league remain
to be worked out, but according to
Edwards it is the plan of the or
ganizers to have eacii team play
each one of the other teams twice,
once at home and once away, dur
ing the first half of the season. This
will make 10 games for the first half
of the season.
The plan then Is, at the halfway
mark, to drop two or threo of the
lowest clubs, and perhaps at that
time add Bend, who has a strong
team, but depends on the McKenzie
highway for transportation. Early In
the season this highway Is not as
dependable as later on.
By reducing the number of clubs
in the last half of the season the
managers hope to have better' games
In the league and also give their
clubs an opportunity to book games
with other teams in other leagues
that may have developed strong
squads.

BASEBALL TRAINING NO. 2
Brooklyn, Feb. 21 IP) This Is
ihe year the Brooklyn Robins have
waited four years for. Every presi
dential year the Robins do a lot of
high flying, and Uncle wilbert Rob
inson has his flock all lined up to
go some place in luaa.
The Robins rode into a pennant
in 1916 with Woodrow-Wilson, wait
ed four years and triumphed along
, witn the Republicans and warren
Harding in 1920, and finished sec
end in 1024 after giving the Giants
ft run for their money. .
With the best balanced pitching
and catching staffs in the National
League last season, the Robins could
not get out of second division be
cause of weak hitting and sloppy
ueiatng.
The Robins finished last in both
fielding and batting last year. Har
vey Hendrick was the only player
on the team to finish the season
with a batting average of more than
So the changes tnado over the
winter by uncio Robby have been
designed to bolster the Infield and
outfield both on offense and de
fense. Thirty-six athletes, including IB
new faces, will report to the Robins
training camp at Clearwater, Fla.,

SAILOR GORDON
CROWD PLEASER
Sailor Willie Gordon is a rem
fighter and a crowd Dleaser. So savs
Matchmaker Harry Plant in talking
of Gordon' smatch with Phil Bayes
at the Salem armory on February m.
Bayes himself says of Gordon that
he is a flashy fighter and throws
lots of punches.
Tickets are already on sale for this
fight card next week, and before
the week is over the matchmaker
will have lined up an entertalnlnii
group of preliminaries. In regard to
the main event he says that Gordon
nas been fighting less than three
years, took up the game while serv
ing In the navy, and came into fistic
prominence in Portland about 10
months ago by taking a special prize
oi iuu given ine iigntcr on the card
making the biggest hit with the fans.
On this occasion he was boxing a
preliminary with Young Villa.
Both Gordon and Bayes have
signed forfeits agreeing to make 126
pounds ringside. Plant said today
that he believes Gordon will arrive
here next Tuesday, a day ahead of
tho fight and take some light
workouts in the Salem armory.

STRANGLER IS
NOW CHAMPION
OF MAT WORLD
St loub. Mo., Feb. 21 Ed
"Strangler" Lewis or Kansas City,
reigns today as undisputed cam
pion of the wrestling world.
By defeating Joe Stecher of
Dodge, Neb., claimant of the title,
in a three fall match at the Coli
seum laat night, Lewis ended the
quarrel that has, existed between
them for seven years; since the
time the "Strangler" defeated
Stecher in New York in 1920.
Lewis won the first fall after
more than two hours of dreary
wrestling, pinning Stecher's shoul
ders to the mat with a bar arm, half
nelson and scissors hold on the arm
In 2:10.32. He captured the third
and deciding fall in 12 minutes, 50
seconds with a bar arm or perhaps
a double wristlock. Nobody was
clear on the exact hold because of
the excitement In the dramatically
sudden finish.
Stecher won the second fall In a
dizzy maze of quick action, lasting
only 56 seconds. Lewis, In a mo
ment of carelessness, fell victim to
a double wristlock and was pinned
in such astonishing quick time that
he. was dumbfounded.
In winning the second fall,
Stecher, who had only lost two
matches in 14 previous to last
night's defeat, showed the only
flash of aggressiveness that he dis
played during the entire contest.
He was out -gamed, out-maneuvered,
out-tricked, and out-wres-
tied. Lewis, although past the 35
year mark, carried the battle to
Steelier from the start. He displayed
super-wrestling ability, trick iness,
and courage. He won fairlv and de
clsively, never leaving a doubt as to
the outcome after the men had been
on the feet for an hour.-
The contest was dull and dreary.
It was dreary for Promoter Tom
Packs because the date receiDts
lauea to come up to his expecta
tions. The attendance was around
5,000 with the receipts according to
Packs, around $50,000 perhaps
$60,000. The price of $5 to $25 for
a ticket was the barrier to more
customers.

Cross college, has sprinted Into the
forefront of America's dash men.
Competing against a crack field in

WALKER TITLE
NOT AT STAKE
San Francisco, Feb. 21 (.Pj Mickey
Walker, middleweight boxing cham
pion of the world, and Jack Willis.
Texas cowboy, will fight 10 rounds
or less here tomorrow in a non
titular encounter.
Any possibility of a repetition of
the recent Hudkins-Dundee fiasco in
Los Angeles when Dundee refused to
appear at the last moment because
he had not been paid his guarantee
was removed last night when Pro
moter Harry Morrison tendered Com
missioner Charles F. Traung of the
state boxing board a certified check
for $ 10.000 to be given Walker when
the fight Is over.
Both boxers announced themselves
to be In the proverbial pink of con
dition. Walker is an odds-on favor
ite, but Willis, a terrific puncher who
wha never been knocked out, will be
dangerous every moment.
A capacity house of 10,000 Is ex
pected to witness the fray.

pitcher, John McGraw Is trying out
at Hot Springs.
McGraw told the ponderous catch
er to tell the pitchers anything he
wanted.
"Make yourself at home and tell
the pitchers about their failings,''
the master mind advised.
"I d like to tell that guy Levy a
few things that are wrong with him,"
Hogan muttered.
'Go ahead, why don't you?" came
back McGraw.
"Oh, it Isn't about his pitching
though," Hogan answered. "It's
about that fiddling he does."
