TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1930 PAfiE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SALEM HIGH 10 DO BkllLE WITH OREGON FROSH Mays And Reuther Looking For Coast League Jobs FRESHMAN TEAM STRONG; SALEM MEN IN LINEUP Two of last year'5 Salem high school players who have been go inj bi$ with the University ot Ore eon fresh this winter will be in the lineup Tuesday evening when the yearlings of the university come laere for a contest with Coach Hunt ington's basket shooters. Becchler. last year's Salem center, and Biejc mund, forward, are the men Coach Callison will bring along with a few of last year's Mtdford state cham pions. The freshmen to date have not been defeated and are coming here with the expectation of adding to their string of wins. Coach Huntington's squad has been somewhat disorganized by the Illness of Kitchen. Thin sparkling shooter may get into the contest wfth the frofih and if lie does the locals' offense should be bolstered considerably . Sanford, local guard, who has displayed considerable agressive ne.s may be shifted to a forward position against the frosh. In this event, West, alternate center, will be given a trial as guard. Tills will be the last opportun ity local fans will have to see the red and black on the high school floor until February 1. The team is scheduled to go to Astoria this week end for a two game scries and on the 30th will go to Wood Burn for it district contest. The gymnasium will be heated Tuesday night and will be com fort -bis for spectators, so nobody need stay away for fear of becoming chil led. Slants Alan J.Gould Bo it will be Palling Phil the Fire man and Shppery Jack the Sailor In the big wind-jamming under the palms at Miami. If the pay-off is actually on the announced basis of a 50-50 split of the fighter's end of the gate re ceipts, the honors already belong to the boy bsndit, James J. Johmtou, who handles Falling Phil's business arrangements. The prospects of such pro! it is enough in Itself to floor Scott in advance of the fight for his share may range anywhere iroin suu.wo to siuu.ooo. Johnston's seemingly 'occult pow ers have made him the Omnipotent Oom of New York botfng over a considerable period. His Svengali eye acheived a marvelous influence upon the aged Mike McTigue a few years ago, so much so that John ston later was persuaded to take a ten-percent interest In the fistic fortunes of Bl tar key. The Boston sailor, a moody specimen, did not respond to Johnston's persuasive treatment but the arrival of Phil Scott lurnished a new and Inviting subject. In the first round of his fight with Victorio Cam polo at Ebbets Field, Scott was tottering under ter rific punishment and about to go down when he suddenly heard a John ton I an command from his corner: "Bex himt" Phil, having got the worst of a slugging bee, prompt ly obeyed and won the match on points. After being hit a low, glancing blow on the thigh by Otto Von Por t, Scott took one look toward his corner, caught Johnston's balelul rye and quickly dove to the canvas. "Can you imagine that for a bad break?" remarked Johmtton after ward. "I watered a few quid on Scott but siipulated all bets were oft In case of a foul, to I don't col lect a dime" The Scutt-Sharkey fiht will be the first real financial test for box ing In the Florida winter resort area. Lat year, extraordinary de velopments made the Strlbling- ! Sharkey match a protltable ven-1 ture. to the tune of $400,000. The i fight itself was merely an agency, I one Hem in an unusual ctravannan- ra, built-up by the ballyhoo after the death of Tex Richard. H gave the fans an excuse to go somewhere and see their friends or celebrites. It brought Jack Deinpwy to the fore-front as a promoter, carrying on for his old pal. The posters ad vertising the bout throiinliout Flor ida had lemp5ey's name in bijrner letters than those of the actual principals. A newcomer got l he Idea that Dempsey was the main bout, with Sharkey and Strlbling ippearing in the seml-ltnal. Most of these elements will be oiisred this February. It mill be Jiwt a fight and the ballyhoo can hard ly be stimulated without the em ployment of extraordinary in?nu Itv. Under the circumstances, a gate" of 1260.000 mould appear optimistic.

Chimin, chair man of the commission, in an ad dress here Monday night said the meeting had been called for that purpose. "The boxing commission had no desire to be a tool of any proles sfonal athletic combine," Clinnin said, "and while It does not claim heavyweight wrestling matches are fixed. It regards It as strange they always come out In a way beneficial to the manager."

Report of the announcement came at the dinner of baseball moguls of the coast In session at the Hotel Oakland Mon day night. Turner himself, is reported to nave made the announcement, but his secretary. Roy Mack, swore to news papermen on my word 01 nonor, fellows, there Is nothing to It." Ei forts to interview Turner per sonally early Tuesday morning were fruitless. He was reported as "indis posd," but could be "contacted" later In the day. - i It Is believed that Turner may be dickering" for the Red Sox now but that nothing del in it has as yet been done on the deal.

WOODBIIRN GOES TO M'MINNVILLE Wood burn The Woodburn high school basketball team will play its first return same of the season Wednesday night when they tackle the McMinnvilJe quintet at McMinn ville. The first time the Bulldogs and McMinnvllle met, Woodburn came out on the long end of 30-1:1 score, although the score by no means Indicates the closeness of the game. Both teams played a fast, flashy game the first time and will probably repeat the performance Wednesday. New factors arise about the forth coming game however, as Woodburn has improved since the first game with McMinnville. and then, again, McMinnyllle's large floor may prove to dc i handicap for the Woodburn team. McMinnvllle is out for revonge this time and Woodburn will be lucky to win. Fights & Fighters By the ASSOCIATED PRESS New York on Tommy Orogan.

Mt ' t$ - Mt Finds Poke Chops New York (AP) Madison place in the afternoon, full of of the battle ring and fuse the into banks of dusk. Footsteps echo loudly, folks usually talk in whispers in the ampit heater that by nitfht blazes with ngni and rocks to the roars or iistu crazed multitudes. There are dim figures, too, in the corridors, mostly " twisted o!d fellows with mops and pails of suds, washing Doors for a meager hourly wage. There are others dusting the walls, wiping the gtases in huge pictures, that show the . likenesses of the late Tex Rickard, John L. Sullivan, Dempsey, Fitzslmmons, Corbett, Jack Johnson, Joe Gans and hosts of almost forgotten war riors of the ring. Only one of the chairmen hums to himself, whistles occasionally, chuckles at his work. He's a short, chunky, happy negro with arms that stretch down to his knees. Yet this happy, harmless negro. 58 years old and glad of the chance t owork at menial tasks, is Joe Wal cott, the barbadoes demon, perhaps the greatest fighter that ever lived. He once weighed 129 pounds for an epic battle with Kid Lavi?ne and as the welterweight champion of 35 years ago he never scaled over 152 pounds. But he knocked out great fighters in five classes lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. His most amazing victory was a seven round knockout of Joe Choynski, a crack heavyweight, when Walcott weighed, 140. Today he polishes the pjures of men who qailed before him decades ago, ring heroes now dead, whose shades might tremble a bit even now at the touch of Walcott's hands, now harmless. He fought when a lifetime's earnings in the ring did not equal the purses paid ordinary iignters today lor a single bout. Furthermore, he doesn't think that the entire crop of fighters in the smaller classes today could have furnished George Lavigne, the Sag inaw Kid, with an interesting night's work. The old timers, Joe says, were tougher, stronger, were just as good boxers, and took the game more ser iously than do the gladiators of the present era. To his mind, the easiest men to bring down were the big lellows despite his own scanty five feet of height. "Ah liked to play with them big boys," Joe grinned as he swabbed a wyaat the woodwork. "Ah Just punched away at their tummies "till they begun to bend. Then fust thine .you know their jaws is down whey mere tummies was and then 's easy." Joe ambled off down a corridor. past a picture of Tex Rickard, past the likenesses of heroes of his times, and dabbed at a painting of Ruby koo nizsimmons. "Ah ain't got no kick," he said. "Ah's alive and they's dead. Ah'm gettin plenty good poke chops, too." Chuckles rippled out behind him. LOWLY CUBS TURN ON MIGHTY LIONS Vancouver. B.
