From being one of the ace pitch
era of the United States to becom
ing "waterboy" lor a city of 42,000
persons Is quite a drop, neverthe
less, Big Ed Walsh, who has ex
perienced the change dished out
oy Dame Fickle Fortune, says, "It's
swell work, and I enjoy It very
much." Walsh, one of baseball's
greatest pitchers more than a quar
ter century ago, Is now twisting
gadgets these days so that Merlden,
Conn., may be served with pure wa
ter. The former Chicago White Sox
ace, famed for his feats on the
mound between 1904 and 1913, is su
pervisor of the Merlden filtering
plant and pumping station. Big
Ed, who will be 59 years old on May
19, was appointed to the Job by
Mayor Francis R. Danaher, whose
father. Cornelius J. Danaher, pres
ent Connecticut labor commissioner,
brought Walsh here from Plains,
Pa., to pitch for the Merlden club of
the old Connecticut league back In
1902.
Walsh hain't changed a bit
ttnce the days when his name
was m synonym for baseball
pitching greatness. Although his
hair is gray, Walsh says he Is in
"marvelous condition." He
weighs 194 pounds, exactly the
same as when he was laboring
for the White Sox. Walsh's job
Is to wash filter beds, toss chemi
cals Into wells, turn levers con
trolling the water output and
take chemical testa to deter
mine "liquid contents." "It's
swell work, and I enjoy It very
much," the big fellow says, "but
I would like to return to base
ball, my first love, as a coach
or manager, If the right kind of
offer came up." (Page Biddy
Bishop.)
It appears Leo "The Lion" Tur
ner, state middleweight champ, Is
having a bit of difficulty In hearing
the pleas of Big Barlund for a crack
at the crown. In fact, Turner has
turned down an offer of 25 per cent
of the gate If he will crawl between
the ropes and trade a few wallops
with the Fighting Finn. Turner
claims Barlund Is "too big" but
when he was told that the Finn
would post & suitable weight forfeit
with the boxing commission as
guarantee to make the required
weight, he finally admitted that he
didn't really care to meet him.
Turner owes something to the Salem
boxing commission as well as the
fans who have made It possible for
him to gain prominence In state
fistic circles. He won the title from
Buddy Peterson, who gave him a
second shot at it, after- the Inde
pendence boy had won what most
of us thought was a questionable de
cision. Turner won the second shot,
and with It the title. Peterson was
a sick kid the night he was forced
to abdicate the throne. Since then
Turner has sidestepped virtually ev
ery offer which means placing the
belt at stake. While Barlund may
not be able to do much with the
fast-moving negro, he Is at least
entitled to a chance. He has belt
ed out eight straight opponents.
Huskies Drop
Cougars with
53-52 Score
Pullman, Wash., Feb. 21 (U.B The
northern division, Pacific coast con
ference basketball title race, today
was reduced to two teams Oregon
State college and University of Ore
gon, with the odds all In favor of
the former.
Washington State college gave up
Its mathematical chance for a tie
by losing last night to University
of Washington, 63-52. The Huskies'
margin came on a free throw by
Bobby Dorr In the last 20 seconds.
The Cougars led at halftlme, 30
25, but their defense fell apart and
In the final minutes the outcome
was constantly In doubt. The lead
changed five times In the closing
seven minutes.
With but little over a minute to
go, Center Jack Jennings put WSC
ahead, 52-50. Then Bill McDonald,
Washington center, tied the score,
followed by Dorr's decisive conver
sion his only point of the game.
Scoring honors went to Guard
Bob Voelker of Washington with
16 points.
Only the Oregon quintet, with four
defeats, has a mathematical oppor
tunity now. Oregon State college,
with two defeats and three games
to play, can clinch the title by de
feating the Webfoots this week-end.
Henderson Hired
Coach Occidental
Los Angeles, Feb. 21 (fFj Occiden
tal college woke up today to find It
had a big time football coach mov
ing in to take charge.
Elmer C. (Gloomy Gus) Hender
son, whose 30 years of coaching have
taken him from one end of the na
tlon to the other, will handle the
grid destinies of Occidental, mem
ber of the small Southern California
conference.
Founded 52 years ago, Occidental
Is a privately endowed Institution
with a student body of some 750. It
has been the locale of many a Holly
wood motion picture.
Athletic Director William Ander
son, who stepped out of the head
coaching Job last winter after a long
reign, announced Henderson's ap
pointment. Terms of the contract, or
its length, were not disclosed.
Silverton Meets
Dallas Grapplers
Silverton Fred Sears, coach, Is
announcing a wrestling match to.
night (Wednesday) at 7:30 o'clock
at the new high school with Dallas,
the strong armed, the opponents
of the Silverton boys.
Silverton Is converging all her
strength to make as good a showing
as possible In the 12 to 14 bouts.
Local fans are showing a decided
interest In wrestling since their lo
cal entrants are appearing In many
matches during the past weeks.
Turner appears willing to meet
Tony Kahut, but the latter would
be foolish to go up against the
negro before he has a bit more
experience. If there's no other
way around the situation, the
boxing commission might set up
an ultimatum i Either Turner de
fends his title against a suitable
opponent within the near fu
ture, or else abandon the throne
completely,
Oliver Directs
Spring Football
Eugene, Ore., Feb. 21 (U.R) Sixty
five footballers answered the call to

to take advantage of unusually
clement February weather, said

Salem Rolls Over Oregon City, 54-30
Sebern Leads
iking Push
With 19 Points
In another one of those basket
ball games which does nobody any
good, Salem high vikings galloped
to a 64-30 win over the Oregon City
Pioneers last night. Outside of the
first few minutes of play when the
visitors traded point for point, the
game was far from interesting. How
ever, one bright spot was the work
of Scotty Sebern, who caged a num
ber of difficult shots to score a total
of 19 points. Coach Hauk shifted
his men throughout which partially
accounted for the somewhat loose
defense at times. This was especially
true In the final quarter when the
Pioneers outscored the vikings 13
to 10.
Bob McKee, who usually pairs
with Sebern in the forward posi
tions, was not in suit last night, be
lng somewhat under the weather.
Kernes took his place and managed
to bucket four field goals before
fouling out.
The Vikings depart for the coast

The Viking Bees took their 17th
consecutive clash at the expense of

dent; Mayor A. O. Senders, vice
president; B. C. McDevitt, secrC'
tary-treasurer; C. O. Budlong was
named director for three years and

nual semi-pro state tournament.

not produce a sot-up under which
Albany can profitably operate, the
loent association will take other
