MEN IN LINEUP
Two of last year'5 Salem high
school players who have been go

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

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. It it lops Uiat finure.
Madison Sauare Clbrden's five-

DENY PURCHASE
0FD0ST0N SOX
BY TOM TURNER
Oakland. Cal. (IP) Rumors that
Tom L. Turner, president of the
Portland club of the Pacific coast
league, had- purchased the Boston
Red Sox of the American league
were refuted Tuesday. 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.
Turner returned earlier in the day
from the east where he is rumored
to have been negotiating for the
purchase of the Boston team. ' -
Boston (LP) Reports that Tom
Turner, owner of the Portland club

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.

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

Joe ambled off down a corridor.

the likenesses of heroes of his times,
and dabbed at a painting of Ruby

"Ah ain't got no kick," he said.
"Ah's alive and they's dead. Ah'm
