THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON AMATEURS HOLD BENEFIT FIGHT CARD AT ARMORY THURSDAY. APRIL 13, 1933 NINE BOUTS OF 3 ROUNDS EACH WILL BE STAGED Some of the best amateur boxers In the western part of the state will be seen In action tonight at the armory when a tournament will be etaged for the purpose of providing funds with which to send a Salem team to the state wide amateur show in Portland Tuesday and Wed nesday of next week. If the card is carried out as planrsd there will be nine bouts, all ot three rounds du ration with the exception of the one between George Beechler and Morris Shepard, Salem heavy weights, which will go four. Shepard, former Salem high school boy, won his weight for three years at Oregon State where he is a seni or. Beechler took up boxing this year and has had good success. , Other amateurs to be featured will include Young Lee, a Chinese boy attending Oregon State, John Pcpion of Chelnawa and Henry Neuman of Salem. Lee is said to carry a lot of dynamite in either fist while Pepion is one of the best Indian scrappers at Chemawa. Tom Louttit, Portland referee, who saw Neuman In action predicted that he would be the next amateur cham pion of the coast. The bout between Spier and Moore should be interesting. They have fought twice in recent weeks, each one winning once. Moderate prices will prevail for the show. The bouts as announced today will be: 'Aimce" McPherson, O. 8. T. S.. vs. Oswalt, Seaside, 85 pounds. Wildcat Jones, Reedsport, vg Rey nolds, Alaska, 116 pounds. Morgan, Corvallis, vs Manning, Salem, 135 pounds. Jim Shepard, O. 8. C. vs. Parker, Salem, 165 pounds.

C, vs. George Beechler, Salem, 185 pounds, four rounds. Young Lee, O. S. C, vs. John Pepion, Chemawa, 125 pounds. Skits and Scratches By the way "Hoot" Gibson, "Bur ly" Bashor and "Squeak" Wilson have been making the dirt fly, or perhaps roll would be a better word, out at Winger field in preparation for the baseball season, it would annear the Senators will have squared their debt for use of Uie diamond well In advance. In past years the club has pungled up 12 per cent of the gross as rental. The work which has been accomplished during the week would cost the school board close to 150. consider ably more than the percentage of the gate Is likely to amount to this season. The entire outfield has been scraped to a depth of two or three Inches. A big road scraper rolled the west sod up In windrows" then a "frcsno" was utilized to transport the earth to low places at the north and south sides of the play ing field. It's too bad that finances won't permit seeding down of the outfield and infield too, for that matter, for when the sun begins to bake the skinned off field it will be plenty hard and a ball which gets through the Infield is liable to roU to the fence. But at that the outfielders will, not risk a leg everytime they go after a fly ball. Bashor declares he is going to place some benches in the grand stand with backs to them. More power to him. After sitting through many a game with knees massaging one's chin, even the most ardent fan will welcome a bench at least sufficiently high for a duck to roost on and one on which a person can lay back and take It easy be tween rallies. Somebody said the school board promised to use the money derived from circuses in improving dinger field. They must have misunder stood, however, since nobody has ever found where a nickel of the rental fee was plowed back into the property. The Brooks baseball club of the Mid-Willamette league Is now sign ing up promising material for this season's campaign, according to word coming from Wlllard Ramp, versatile manager. His roster has not been completed and players who believe they can make good might give Willard a ring. However several have already signed up. They include Charley Bachelor, catcher; Brick Swegle, pitcher: Earl Ramp, outfielder; Walt Steiger, first base; John Larson, outfielder; Ray Segan, outfielder; Noon Segan, pitcher; Alexander and Kalama, outfielders, and Richard McNulty, lnfielder. The club will hold a practice at Brooks Sunday and ev erybody who shows up will be given a workout. Tonight's amateur boxing show promises to be an interesting ar fair. Money raised will be used to send a number of local slmon pures to the Portland championships. It's worth while and deserving of wholehearted support. Hopmere The work on the coun. ty farm at Hopmere has been corn- pleted for this season. The 80 acre. growth of grass seed recently plant ed is a good stand. The cultivated ground, cleared by the needy will forever after produce as a benefit for the poor, and the value of the farm acreage la greatly increase Folks, Meet Elmer Dean The photographer caught Elmer Dean, oldest brother of Dluy and Paul, the well known pitchers. In an informal pose. He Is shown seated on the front steps of the Dean family domicile In Arkansas, right after he had signed a contract to play outfield for Houston of the Texas league. VALLEY LEAGUE IN THIRD WEEK Silverton The Willamette Inter- scholastic league will start Its third week of play when Chemawa goes into action against Woodburn, Mo lalla. travels to Silverton, and West Linn meets Lebanon at Lebanon. According to previous showings, Chemawa will be a heavy favorite to trounce Woodburn as Woodburn has failed to break Into the win column. Although Silverton Is undefeated, Molalla is a slight favorite to win due to its large win over West Linn and because of Its experienced pitching Etaff. Lebanon will have a slight edge over West Linn as West Linn has a green team this year while Lebanon has nine let termcn. The Chemawa Indians, who are in a tie with Silverton for first place, had little difficulty in win ning from Lebanon 13 to 4. Seltice, Indian pitcher JiQld the Berrypick ers well in check by striking out 13 in six innings. Silverton managed to eke out a fi to 8 win over their old rivals, Woodburn, in an 11 inn ing battle. The score was a dead lock at 7-all at the end of the reg ular 9 Innings. Silverton pushed across a score in the 10th only to. have Halter of Woodburn tie the score with a home run. Schwab, who relieved Coomler In the sev enth, was credited with the win. Molalla, undaunted by a few show ers of rain, smothered the green West Linn team 16 to 2. Leffler, Molalla's southpaw pitcher, was the bright spot in the game. Standings: W L Pet. Chemawa 2 0 1.000 Silverton 2 0 1.000 Molalla 1 1 .500 Lebanon 1 1 .500 West Linn 0 2 .000 Woodburn 0 2 .000 RICKREALL GETS BENEFIT MATCH Rickreall A benefit wrestling card is being offered at the Rickre all high school gymnasium Thurs day at 8 o'clock for the payment of gravel for a parking space In front of the high school, in the main event Joe Reynolds, 210, of Salt Lake City meets Jack Hurley, 205, of Los Angeles in a two hour match or the best two out of three falls. In the semi-windup, one hour or the best two out of three falls, Ferett "Prof" Newton, 145, of Oregon City, meets Joe Gardiner, 147, of Port land. There will be several good preliminaries. Moderate prices pre vail. Parkersville Grade Wins From Visitors Parkersville The Parkersville grade school baseball team played the West Woodburn boys on a neut ral field near here Tuesday after noon, outscoring the visitors 20 to 8. The game was scarcely a true test of the merits of either team as the grounds were slippery from heavy rains. The game was one of the ser ies of the Marion county grade school league. Sheriff Hooker to Attend Opening Dallas If present plans don't miscarry Tom B. Hooker, perennial sheriff of the county will attend his 18th opening day of baseball In the past 21 years next Tuesday in Port land when the Beavers begin their home schedule. Hooker expects to be accompanied by Friend Patterson and Henry Savery two others who seldom fall to be on hand when the umpire calls "play ball." Dachau, Germany, April 18 UP) Guards today killed three com munists and wounded one who were attempting to escape from a con centration camp. PARRISH PLAYS GERMS Parrish junior high's green and inexperienced baseball squad will begin the 1933 season on O linger field Friday afternoon at 3:30 o' clock by taking on Gervais high school. With one or two exceptions none of the members of the Parrish team have played much baseball and as a result Coach Harold Hauk Is bit dubious about the outcome. Nick Serdotz, who has had con siderable mound experience, should handle his position without much difficulty. His support may be none too good, however. During warm ing up practice Wednesday after noon Serdotz indicated he had plen ty on the ball. Only three other players appear to have anything like a cinch on their jobs, They are Akers, catcher; Etzcl, first base, and Maerz, short stop. Second base honors will be divided between Rnmp and Hoffert, while Litwiller and Meyers will be tried out at third. In the outfield, Oglesby, Porter, Stevens, Childs and Ferguson ap pear to have a slight edge. "If we can get a few runs we may surprise some of our competitors," Coach Hauk stated. The team has had little opportunity to practice due to bad weather. Gervais is in the same fix, however. Gervais usually puts out good baseball teams. Whether this year's squad Is equal In ability to Its predeces sors is not known. DERN TAKES THREE FALLS FROM KRUSE Portland, April 13 W Ira Dern of Salt Lake City took two falls out of three to defeat Bob Kruse of Oswego In "the main event of the wrestling matches here last night. Dern weighed 210, Kruse 211. The Utahan won the first fall on a side chancery in 8 minutes, but found the count evened less than three minutes later when Kruse ex ecuted a double wristiock. Dern took the deciding fall In 22 minutes with a body press. Joe Parelli, 158, Italy, won the semi-windUD from Glen Stone, 165, Olympin, Wash., taking two straight falls. Bulldog Jackson, vn, unicago, won the opener from Des Anderson, 154, Beattle, with one fall. SILVERTON MEETS MOLALLA INDIANS Silverton The Silverton high school baseball team will encounter a tough obstacle when it plays the Molalla Indians here Friday after noon. Last year Silverton nosed out Mo lalla to win the championship of the Wllamette Interscholastlc lea gue. This year Silverton is lack ing an experienced pitching staff, although John Coomler and Arland Schwab have been showing up well. Molalla has a strong pitching staff including three of last year's pitch ers and practically all of the other positions are filled with the same men of last year. Earlier in the season Silverton out-scored West Linn 8 to 6 while Molalla won from the same town, 18 to 2. According to scores and considering their experienced pitch lng staff, Molalla will have a slight edge In Friday's game. Schubert who suffered an Injury to his back In the Woodburn game, will be back In the line-up. Coom ler will probably start on the mound for Silverton wnue Lcmer will chuck for Molalla. FISHERMEN Ton can get your live chubs at the foot of Union St, 160 Union ask for Mr. Mcintosh BIGGER GATES FOR OPENING OF MAJOR LEAGUES New York, April 18 (IP) Bigger gates and tighter pennant races were indicated for the "new deal" 1933 major league baseball season by yesterday's five opening games. Rain washed out three Inaugural ceremonies. They are scheduled for today. An average increase of 600 persons a game over the 1932 open ing was shown by United Press com pilations. Average attendance was 20,000 fans. A better balance among teams was Indicated by the average dif ference of only 2 4-5 runs between victors and vanquished, whereas Inst year the opening day average was 5 5-6 runs. The attendance average was ex pected to be boosted considerably today as delayed teams swung into action In three good baseball cities. Even President Franklin D. Roos evelt shared the general enthusiasm and optimism after yesterday's in augural. He flipped out the first ball at Washington, and his team, the Senators won their first opening game in many seasons, defeating their worst rivals, the Philadelphia Athletics, 4 to 1. It was an excellent game that the president, Vice-president Garner and other notables among 25,000 fans witnessed a game filled with snappy fielding and featured by sev eral double plays. Joe Cronln made a brilliant debut as the youngest manager in the majors. He banged out three singles In four times up. Alvln Crowder and Alphone Thom as yielded six hits to the A's while Tony Freltas and Gowell Claset al lowed nine to the Senators. With no exception, generally fa vored teams won. The exception was the Cleveland Indians, who downed Detroit's youthful fast-stepping Ti gers, 4 to 1 In 13 Innings. Al Simmons, central figure of the off-season's most discussed deal, blasted out the season's first home run, giving his new team, the Chi cago White Sox their first tally as they beat the St. Louis Browns, 4 to 2. Fewer than 6000 fans, the smallest crowd of the day, saw the game. Beer was sold In the park. In the National league, the Chi cago Cubs opened the defense of their pennant successfully by blank ing the St. Louis Cardinals, 3 to 0, before 25,000. Lonnle Warneke, lead, lng hurler of the National circuit last year, turned In the season's first shutout, allowing only four hits, while Dizzy Dean and Tex Carleton were found for 11. The Cubs tallied their three runs in the second Inn ing. The Pittsburgh Pirates, generally considered logical successors to the Cubs as leaders In the National, trounced tire Cincinnati Reds, 4 to 1 before 25,000 fans. shaIkeTand carnera will fight. june 29 New York, April 13 (LP) Jack Sharkey will defend his heavyweight title against Primo Camera of Italy in a 15 -round bout at Madison Square Garden's Long Island bowl on June 29.
