Skits and Scratches Bt Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Bob Keuscher out at Leslie, who has seen a lot of basketball, including most of the sessions of last week's state tournament ays Benny Pitzer really showed the fans something in Portland Tuesday night when he played -with the Salem Intermediates against Scappoose in the Golden Ball tournament. All Benny did was score 30 points, including field goals and foul shots. Shoot ing from all points of the floor he scored 13 bullseyes out of 18 attempts. "I wish he had played that well against Parrish," sigh ed the Leslie coach. Needless to say, young Pitzer will be a marked lad during the balance of the tourney. The Intermedi ates will go up against the Park rose high school "B" team Fri day night and if they keep in the running will probably have to engage Rainier and Lents as well. Here's an Invention that should be investigated by the fish commission and others in terested In preventing trout from being siphoned off into ir rigation ditches from feeder streams. The device is described in a recent issue of Electronics Magazine and apparently is pat terned after the familiar electric fence which Is used so extensive ly In the valley to keep stock within bounds. It Is termed an "electronic fish fence" and Is de scribed as being a "screen or fence consisting of one or more rows of metal rods or strips that serve as electrodes through which electrical Impulses are sent to set up an electric field in the water." The Impulses give the fish an effective but harm less shock which sends them scurrying back to a safe area. "At Pymatuning Lake, Pa., state fish hatcheries, the fence prevents the fish from migrating to open water where they would be caught by fishermen or eaten by larger fish," the magazine article claims. "The fence has other extremely practical appli cations in preventing fish from being destroyed in the water in takes of irrigation projects, hydro-electric plants and indus trial works." ... Off hand, it would seem the device would take the place of fish screens which are supposed to be In stalled at the intakes of irriga tion ditches, but which quit fre quently are not there. 1 What a snap for the Willam ette athlete who wants to play baseball but is expected to en gage in spring football practice! Unless an outside diamond is lo cated. Coach Walter Erickson of the Bearcat gridders and Bill Hanauska, director of baseball, will have their squads working out at the same time on Sweet land field. So, after a griddcr has a few bouts with the tackl ing dummy, he can step over and take his cuts at the plate. But pity the fellow who is try ing to catch a punt while keep ing a wary eye out for a line drive. And, Incidentally Hanau ska would appreciate It if some one would provide a few hus kies with pitching arms. Bill finds himself with a schedule of considerable length and few prospects in the mound line. Perhaps the former Bearcat pit cher who is now owned by the Brooklyn Dodgers can take the cure or something and emerge n amateur once more. Then he could win his own games. And from Arthur Boeschen, proprietor of S.mliam lodge, just above the forks of the North and South Santiam highways, comes Sandy, Canby Split Honors Sandy and Canby divided two honors in state high school wres tling when they finished last night each with four division titles.

FIRESTONE STORE 362 State Street 6 Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Thursday, March 21, 1946 Veterans Benefit Ring Show Nets $1120; Entire Card Good Jack Von's widow received $1120 and the near capacity crowd of fans the maximum in boxing entertainment last night at the armory when the Veterans of Foreign Wars staged their benefit rine show. The affair was a com.r plete success from the opening preliminary through the Duane Hoag-Archie Cook main event which pleased the fans no end. Hoag got Referee Packy McFar land's decision, but the cocky little scrapper knew he had been in a battle all of the way. Cook, a rangy lad from Seattle, weigh ed in at 132 against Hoag's 126 pounds wasted no time in feeling out his opponent. He tore in with a series of upper cuts before the "Durable" one scarcely had a chance to get set. Cook won the opening round handily although Hoag came back with a two fisted attack of his own.

Liska and Klepper Visit Briefly San Jose, Calif., Mar. 21 (U.B Whether or not Ad Liska will hurl his famed submarine ball for the Portland Beavers this season remained a question to day after the reluctant pitcher visited the camp briefly and then left again. Liska, who was under fine for failure to report for duty, talked with General Manager Bill Klep per yesterday, but left saying he was "going back home" after failing again to reach a contract agreement. Klepper was silent on the negotiations with his No, 1 holdout, but indicated he may talk with Liska again in Port land. Rain and cold weather kept the Beavers from the practice field yesterday, and it appeared they may be washed out again today. Hoag was the aggressor there after as he declined to take a backward step. But Cook stood up to the wind mill attack gamely as the battle took on the aspects of a bar room brawl at times. In the fourth both went through the ropes twice by virtue of the impetuosity of their attack. During an ex change on the ropes Hoag drop ped to the canvas but Referee McFarland said it was the re sult of a slip. Cook tired visibly in the fifth round as Hoag, apparently in a bit better condition, kept up his perpetual motion attack. Mc Farland's decision was greeted with a series of bronx cheers. Other results: Bob Ford, Port land, decisioned John L. Sulli van, Portland, 6 rounds; Manuel Jones, Portland, TKO over Jack Hibbard. Klamath Falls, in the fourth; Kelly Jackson, Coulton, Cal and Dave Arndt, Portland, four round draw; Bill Towery, Turner, TKO over Rubin Ruiz, Portland, third; Leon Moore, Salem, decisioned Eddie Eggee, Portland, 4 rounds. Wildcats Claim First Hoop Title New York, March 21 (U.PJ Kentucky's wily wildcats, who barely escaped basketball fame in other years, claimed their first national championship to. day by the margin of one slim free throw. . That shot, which Ralph Beard arched in with 40 seconds left to play last night, gave the Blue Grass basketeers a 46 to 45 victory over high-speed Rhode Island State, a team that never quit running at full speed through 120 minutes of the in vitational tournament play.
