Abney-Garcia
Rematch Set
A repeal performance of the
Dick Abney-Ray Garcia six
rounder of two weeks ago that
resulted in the Mexican being
lugged to his corner late in the
fifth, has "been arranged by
Matchmaker Tex Salkeld for
next Wednesday night's V.F.W.
fight card at the armory. How
ever, there is one difference in
the arrangement: Garcia insists
that the winner take all of the
money. The dead game Mexi
can claims he was not in shape
for the first meeting with Ab
ney. Two judges will assist Referee
Packey McFarland in connec
tion with the 5-round champion
ship scrap between Snooks
Lacey and Bobby Richards, that
features the card. The judges
will be named by the boxing
commission headed by Howard
Maple.
Three four round bouts will
complete the card, with Ralph
Ayres, "switch hitting" Salem
battler, having a spot on one of
them.

Skits and Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor
We like Jerry Lillie's ap
proach to the coaching position
at Willamette university. Know
ing little concerning available
material; the Bearcat grid men
tor makes no declarations con
cerning the type of football he
will employ, although he ex
presses a preference for the "T."
One can readily understand that
Lillie cannot make a definite
decision as to what can be ac
complished here until he has
had a chance to size up the sit
uation. It is unfortunate that
he will not be able to take over
this spring for a bit of drill, but
apparently he cannot get out of
a contract that doesn't expire
until July. Perhaps arrange
ments can be made to get the
Bearcat candidates together in
August if conference rules per
mit. While in Honolulu Lillie has
had ample opportunity to wit
ness outstanding athletic events.
He remarks that more than 120
football games were played in
the stadium last fall. ."I must
have seen 40 or more games
and had the opportunity to see
all the mainland teams to show
here. I saw all 1Z of the Pa
cific Coast professional league
teams as well as the college
teams from Nevada, Utah, Fres
no State, New Mexico, Weber
College, Portland V, Stanford
and the TJ.CX.A. seniors. Have
seen Joe Louis box a six round
exhibition and watched Bob
Feller and other major league
stars in two games. At present
we are enjoying a five game
aeries between the New York
Giants and the San Francisco
Seals and were fortunate to ob
serve the Davis cup tennis team
in some exhibition matches upon
their return from Australia."
With Coach Lillie's connections
in Honolulu, it is entirely pos
sible Willamette may receive an
invitation to travel to the isl
ands sometime during the next
few years. The Bearcats made
a trip to Honolulu late in 1941
and the Japs attacked the day
after the game.
Announcement a short while
back that Duane Hoag had re
tired from fistic enterprises was
a bit premature. The retire
ment actually took place in Eu
gene last Friday night when he
was knocked out by Snooks
Lacey in the seventh round of
a 10-heat engagement. Must
have been a sad blow to Hoag's
morale being polished off by
Lacey, a scrapper whom the
"Durable one" claimed did not
possess enough of -a wallop to
bust a wet paper bag. Failure
to keep in condition is credited
with being largely responsible
for Hoag's poor ring work in
recent weeks. . , . Cash on the
barrel head for all tickets for
the Western International
league opener at Waters field
the night of April 18. That's
the edict of Business Manager
George Emigh who is charged
with the responsibility of mak
ing the pay checks good. This
arrangement was made neces
sary because a few individuals,
after making their reservations
by telephone, failed to call for
the seats. The scale of prices
that prevailed last season will
be in effect this year: $1 for
grandstand reservations, in
cluding box seats; 50 cents for
adults and 14 cents for kids in
the bleachers. All prices in
clude federal tax.
They will celebrate Man o'
War's 30th birthday March 29.
"Big Red" as he is familiarly
known still holds two world
records li miles in 2:14 15
and lk miles in 2:40 45. Man
o' War is still the center of at
traction for visitors at Faraway
farm, near Lexington, Ky.,
where he still takes daily exer
cise though not under saddle.
One man who rates him above
them all is Earl Sande. "I only
rode him once," the famous
jockey recalls, "but that was
enough. That really was an experience."

Amvets Attack Three j
Major Loop Ball Clubs
Washington, March 27 (Pi The American Veterans of World
War H announced today it is asking the justice department for
legal proceedings against three major league baseball clubs under
the selective service act. The Amvets declared there has been
"flagrant disregard for the re-employment rights" of Steve,

pitcher, Russell Kerns, former D mV
Detroit Tigers catcher, Benny I OO lxpOlT TOT

Eagles Enter
Puck Finals
The Portland Eagles breezed
into the Pacific Coast Hockey
league final playoffs today after
capturing the Northern division
post-season series as they had
the regular championship. Start
ing Saturday the Eagles and the
Los Angeles Monarchs will meet
in a best four in seven affair to
settle the crown for 1947.
The Portland club downed the
Seattle Ironmen last night, 4 to
3, for their fourth triumph in
six series games. But the Eagles
had to come from two goals be
hind to clinch the Northern di
vision crown. Seattle led 3 to
1 in the second period but Port
land made three goals in the
last frame.
2 Boxers Draw
Fines in Idaho
Boise, Idaho, March 27 UP)
A $100 fine was levied against
Clarence "Skinny" Roberts of
Seattle and Johnny Surez, Port
land, by the Idaho state moxing
commission last night after a
scheduled 10-round match be
tween the two welterweights
halted in the ninth round.
Referee Fay Rose said he had
slopped the bout because the
pair "didn't provide a fight."
The fines were announced by
Commission Chairman H. F.
Stickle after a meeting with the
fighters and their managers.
The selective service act pro
vides that individuals discharg
ed from the armed services must
be restored to their former jobs
if they apply within 90 days, un
less the employer's circumstan
ces have so changed that rein
statement is unreasonable or
impossible.
The Amvets said it has asked
the justice department to re
view a recent Los Angeles fed
eral court decision against a re
instatement claim by four Paci
fic Coast league players on the
ground the caliber of play had
improved during their absence.
Slat Meet- Slated
