THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1029 SOUTHERN RESORTS OPEN FIGHT PROMOTERS' EYES PAGE EIGHT SUCCESS FOR MIAMI BATTLE STIRS TAMPA By EDWARD J. NEIL Miami Beach, Fla., UVt The mantle of luck that seemed to sheath Tex Kickard's shoulders in life aparently has fallen in blanket fashion at his death over the en tire Madison Square Garden cor poration. Scarcely a month ago the direct ors of the Garden organization, and even doughty Bill Carey, the two fisted railroad builder who has taken Tex's place at the helm, ar gued for days the feasibility of car rying out Rickard's dream of an outdoor heavyweight contest in the south while winter gripped arenas in the north. The plan, when or iginated, seemed feasible to none but Rlckard and even he had his . doubts. . It is no secret now that Tex, be-, fore he died, told the directors of his organization that the battle of the Everglades, featuring Young Stribling. the slugging Georgian, and Jack Sharkey, of Boston, must be considered in the light of his own personal experiment. If any profits were made on the affair, the corporation would receive them. Any loss Tex planned to foot him self. So great has been the advertising that has came to Miami Beach through the battle itself, the influx of newspapermen and prominent visitors that other cities in the south are casting envious eyes at the publicity that has boomed this city even beyond the exciting days or laus and laze. Already urn Carey has received propositions from cities in California and other parts of Florida, but Tampa on the west coast seems to have out distanced all the rest. Carey was amazed at an unof ficial offer of $500,000 from the rival resort to stage another heavy weight engagement next winter be side the waters of Tampa bay. The money was offered the Garden cor poration, he said, merely for the staging of a match in that city without a thought of a share in the profits. Both Sharkey and Stribling, close to top condition are planning to taper off in workouts from now until next Wednesday. Sharkey scaled 180 after Wednesday's work out, his lowest poundage in three years.

The trustees of the old LaCreole academy and Dallas col lege had money Invested In bonds and the grounds having been in use for years by the high school and public it was decided that an amphi theater would be a fitting memorial to the pioneer education institution and a worthwhile lasting gift to the public.

Refreshments were served by the hostess after the cur tains had been finished. - ds Checked By modern vaporizing ointment Just rub on PASSENGER STATION 12th and Oak St Phone t Pol Rooks OFFENSE AND DEFENSE SHOW PLENTY CLASS A confident, steady bunch of ball tofsers from the Oregon State col lege, known as the "Rooks" stepped out onto the Salem high school gym floor Wednesday evening and gave the locals a 32 minute lesson in how the great game of basketball should be played. Incidentally be fore the instructions were finished the visitors had 31 points to their credit while the pupils -garnered 12. Salem's points came from four baskets, two in each half, and four scores from the gift line. The Rooks proved to be a fast playing bunch of youngsters. Fre quently after casting off with the oall, which they did whenever they came within scoring distance, their guards would be back in defense position before the Salem offense could form and get underway. And it was a defense that worked, too. The red and black were allowed to get set for shots very few times during the encounter; although during the first few minutes of the game they missed four or five that were rather easy. Lyman, former LaGrande center, and playing, the same position for the yearlings, lived up to advance information. He played a fine game and made every move count. Heart- well proved to have a good eye for the basket as well as being an ex cellent guard. He shot four bas kets during the evening. Salem showed to advantage only during the third period when they held the rooks to six points while they were collecting five for them selves. Shortly after the start of the fourth canto, the freshmen 'staged a rally which, netted them eight points and- put the game away.- The local offense did not seem up to standard several of the boys having suffered from colds during the past few days. Sieg munri did not get to start at all, being too ill to play. Duffey, former s'ar for the high school was held to one basket which he sunk from a distance during the last quarter. Twelve rooks . .were ' used during the contest, while Coach Anderson used eight. Summary: SALEM R. Kelly 3) C. Kelly (4) Beechler (3) Gottfried ... ROOKS (7) Fagan . (3) Merrill . (9) Lyman .

STAYTON TO PLAY LANE COUNTY FIVE Stay ton Stay ton high will play a double-header with Pleasant Hill high school of Lane county on the local floor Thursday evening at 7:30. The Pleasant Hill boys' team Is win ner of the Class B championship of Lane county this year, and are doped to give the. locals a tough struggle. The girls aggregation from Lane county also comes with a good record, and ft couple of interesting games are being anticipated by local fans. After ringing up a total of seven consecutive wins, the Stayton boys took a beating from the Dallas quintet at Dallas last Tuesday: The locals were playing' without the services of two regulars who were out of the lineup because of schol astic deficiencies. The Dallas lads seemed to be going for they swished the net for a total of 42 points to iu ior at ay ton. BEAVERS ARRIVING Santa Ana, Calif.

Ice this Thursday evening to battle the Vio toria Cubs in a Pacific coast hockey league game. As the Bucks evi dently have had Victoria's goat all season, Portland majipick up an other two points,- which would break the tie for. second place with Seattle and also help the Bucks in their climb toward th-j champion ship playoff series with Vancouver. Probably one reason Portland did not do so well on its recent northern trip was its weakened de fense. Moose Johnson has been laid up with a bad cold and should not have been in the line-up at all, although he had to be used as a relief man. Portland has four more home games after Thursday night's rumpus.

Jed en Maxwju Kfiovsc m m . FLAVOR A SOUTHERN gentleman long ngo toiled with the . roasting of many different choice coffees together until he achieved a blend of such unusually rich and mellow harmony that it delighted even his critical palate. That fine blend is Maxwell llouec. It took its name from the hotel where it first became famous the old Maxwell House in Nathvillc, celebrated throughout the South for its hospitality, its old-time Southern dibhes and particularly for its wonderful coffee. Here distinguished travelers and belles and gentlemen of the Old South first enjoyed the coffee which today is pleasing more people than any other coffee ever offered for sale. "The Old Colonel' has lived to see the flavor he created become America's most widely popular coffee. Your own family and guests will appreciate Maxwell House Coffee. Your grocer has it scaled in tin to pre serve its rare fragrance and flavor.

According to present Indications the affair promises -to be quite some noggin cracking fight, for both men are of the slugging type. Red seems to fight the hardest when he has plenty of opposition and his showinp made in recent bouts at Portland indicates he has gone into the game In earnest. Opposition won't be lacking when he goes up against this Hunter person. Hunter has engaged in eight scraps, getting a draw with Joe Blackwell and Frankle Burnell. Another event on the card which Matchmaker Plant opines will be much more attractive than the last one. which proved such a success, will be the whirl-wind four round engagement between Young Am brose of Salem and Jackie Watten berger of Independence. These youngsters have been appearing In the local ring .frequently and need little Introduction. Neither one has developed the art of stalling. More leather will be tossed about during that match than any other on the card. Benny Peltz, the musician-boxer from Portland, signed to swap punches with Fox, is a popular lad in his home town, even though he Isn't appearing on the cards down there at the present time, owing to a mix-up between the commission and Peltz' manager. Peltz is re puted to be a particularly bad actor when he Is stung by a hard punch. And by the way Ted hit Langford in his last appearance here. Peltz will no doubt be on the warpath during most ot the en counter, Fox hit Sam so hard In the sec ond round of their bout here that the little colored boy has been talk ing about it ever since.
