Drawings for various athletic
contests often give results that
to the Interested parties bear
evidence o having been delib
erately "fixed." Salem high was
frequently accused of having a
pull with those who conducted
the lottery for the state basket
ball tournaments because the
Viks on several occasions drew
what appeared to be weaker op
ponents In the opening rounds.
It didn't always work out that
way but that made no differ
ence to the accusers. They would
not be convinced that the meth
od of picking the contenders
was on the level.
. Ere Kay, who has had a lot
of experience in drawing up
flights for golf tournaments, re
marked that the pairings for
this spring's city-wide champ
ionships give evidence of hav
ing been tampered with.' But
he swears the whole thing was
a matter of chance and anything
resembling deliberate bracket
ing Just happened that way. In
this way the two juniors of the
tournament Bob Burns and
Bob Sederstrom were pitted,
against each other. Which means
that one or the other will be
eliminated at the outset. Noth
ing deliberate about placing Don
Hendrie against George Scales,
either. Whatever the results, the
first round must be completed
by next Sunday night fishing
or no fishing.
A letter from U. S. Senator
W. Warren Barbour of New
Jersey asks your, correspondent
concerning local' sentiment re
garding a return match between
Joe Louis and Billy Conn for the
heavyweight championship of
the world. Senator Barbour de
clares he is a fight fan. "My
keen Interest in the sport
brought me (he distinction of
being selected official time
keeper at the Willard-Dempsey
fight in Toledo," the senator re
lates. "One of my most treasur
ed possessions is the trophy I
won as amateur heavyweight
champion of the United States
and Canada in 1910."
Senator Barbour said he ag
reed with the decision - that
brought about the cancellation
of the proposed Louis-Conn bout
last fall. "However, it does seem
a pity that the determination of
the officials at that time should
have established a policy which
would permanently preclude the
taglng of one of America's
greatest boxing events." All of
which adds up to the fact that
the solon Is anxious to have a
ringside view of a re-match of
the two ring gladiators.
Whether sentiment is in fa
vor of a re-match or not, it is
probable the army will have the
final say. And since Conn is re
ported to have been transferred
to a point which in all proba
bility is outside the bounds of
the United States any fighting
he may do will bo with weapons
a bit more potent than his dukes.
There Is no question but that
a ring engagement between the
champion and the man who
came close to dethroning him
would attract public interest.
But so far as this writer has
been able lo determine, there
is no burning demand on the
part of the fans that such a
program be staged. If we have
the right slant on the subject,
there is considerably more in
terest in licking the Axis than
In a million dollar arena specta
acle even though it involves the
Brown Bomber.

Portland Wins,
Crowd Lacking
(Br the Auociiled Preis)
Portland held to the pace yes
terday and continued as one of
the three Pacific coast league
teams with unsoiled early sea
son records, defeating Sacra
mento, 2 to 1, when an error
gave the Beavers a run to break
a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning.
Seattle has yet to break into the
win column, losing yesterday,
6 to 5, to San Diego.
At Sacramento, Portland
catcher Roy Easterwood,. who
had walked, came home on an
error, to keep Portland at the
top of the heap, along with San
Francisco and San Diego. Wild
ness by Al Brazle, Sacramento
pitcher, contributed to the Bea
ver victory. Jack Wilson, pitch
ing for Portland,' allowed six
hits.
The Padre victory over Seat
tle was the result of a four-hit
four-run combination in the
eighth inning. First Baseman
George McDonald started the
rally with a triple which spell
ed defeat for Pitcher Hal Turr
pin, who yielded 10 hits. Frank,
Dasso, pitching throughout for
San Diego, allowed 13.
Attendance figures showed a
decided drop from the opening
day. At San Francisco, for ex
ample, the turn-out was 1,864,
compared with Sunday's record
16,000. A mere 427 watched
the Portland-Sacramento game
and others had corresponding
slumps.
In other league games San
Francisco' defeated Hollywood,
4-3 when Outfielder Frenchy
Uhalt singled to, score two men
in the ninth, and Oakland de
feated Los Angeles, 8-5, with a
six-run burst in the first inning.

Senators Lead
Once Anyhow
By Judson Bailey - .
(Associated Press Sports Writer) . '
Spring is here! All the peo
ple who have been doubting it
far various reasons, especially
the weather, had to be con
vinced today because, the base
ball season is now open.
The Washington . Senators
subdued the Philadelphia Ath
letics, 7-5, yesterday in the na
tion's capital and took over first
place in the American league
for at least one day .
The formal bow for the Na-;
tional and American leagues as
a whole today called for this
program: . .
National St. Louis at Cin
cinnati, New York at Brook
lyn, Pittsburgh at Chicago and
Philadelphia at Boston;
American Washington at
New York, Boston at Philadel
phia, Detroit at .Cleveland and
Chicago at St. Louis.
In, winning the inaugural in
Griffith stadium the Senators
confirmed the . suspicions of
many observers that play this'
season would be more slovenly,'
that the ball is "more dead,"
that' crowds in mid-week will
be smaller and that Washington
is improved over last year.
The turnout for the inaugural
was the smallest in many years
at Washington, 25,093, and the
game itself was a stumbling af
fair with the Senators making
three errors and the Athletics
calling on four hurlers.
