Jim Olson received credit for Thursday nlfht's Salem Senator win over the Victoria Athletics, 5-4 to even the series at two fames each, but the bit; right bander was in the shower room when Bus Sporer completed the Solon pitching chores for the evening. Heading into the top of the eighth with a '3-3 lead Olson was greeted by a lusty double from the bat of Dick Morgan Frank Finnegan grounded out but when Saul Israel punched out a second two bagger, Man ager Bill Beard Immediately took cognizance of the storm signals and called on Sporer. Sporer who had won a seven in nine tussle the night before pitched the final two thirds of the eighth and all of the ninth without giving up a hit. Jumping onto Olson for three hits and as many runs in the third the Victorians got off to a good start. One of the blows was a double by Finnegan that drove in two tallies. The locals evened the count in the fifth as they got to Bill Boemler for two hits, one by Larry Orteig and another by Beard. A walk to Wayne Peter son and an error by Gill Mc- Dougall when he muffed Bob Cherry's high fly played a prom inent part in the rally, Umpire Jerry Mathiu became involved in a violent argument in the fifth when he called Or teig safe at second on a fielder's choice play, when the discus sion finally reached a conclu sion, Manager Ted Norbert and second baseman Gill McDougall were no longer present, having talked themselves out of the contest. From the press box it appeared Orteig was out, al though McDougall had engaged in something of a dance as he tried to find the base. The Senators got their fourth and fifth tallies in the seventh after two were out, as the Ath letics' infield pulled a pair of costly errors. - McDougall bob bled Wasley's grounder and Bob Keeler threw high to first aft er grabbing Bob Cherry's grass cutter. Cherry had beaten the throw for a single and went to second on the overthrow. Al Spaeter promptly drove Cherry home with his second hit of the evening. The Senatoas left immediately after the game for the long bus ride to wenatchee where they are slated to play Friday after noon and night. A second split doubleheader is scheduled for Saturday. From Wenatchee the club jumps to Victoria for a three game series beginning May 9 and then crosses over to the mainland for four with the Van couver Caps. Hill Beeson, an outfielder, and Jack Ferluga, left handed pitch er have been optioned to the Bisbee-Douglas team of the Ari zona-Texas league.

Louis Ready to Take Over Boxing World as 'King' New York, May 6 UJ9 Jacobs Beach became Louis Lane today as aged, ailing Uncle Mike step ped down and the Brown Bom ber prepared to step up as king of the boxing promotion busi ness. The new organization sup plants the 20th Century Club as the boxing promotion agency for Madison Square Garden and the Yankee Stadium but it is far more sweeping than 20th Century because It also includes the Chicago Stadium and the De troit Olympia. Gen. John Reed Kilpatrck, president of Madison Square Garden, revealed the collosal new organization yesterday, con firming reports which had been whispered for weeks in the fight clubs and gymnasiums around New York. Effective June 1, Jacobs 20th Century steps out, and in its place goes the International Box ing club, which was formed with Louis as its titular head when the Bomber retired as heavy weight champion this winter. Louis in all probability will be the director, probably in a "front man" and matchmaker capacity while someone like Harry Markson will run the behind-the-scenes activity. Mark son is Jacobs' former publicity man and now managing director of 20th Century.

Feller Throws Sad News For Batters, Tops Socks New York, May 6 (U.I9 There was sad news today for the bat ters Bobby Feller is stellar again. The Cleveland whiz-ball expert, perhaps not so fast as in other years, nevertheless demonstrated that he still was quite a pitcher yesterday when he set down the Boston Red Sox on h; six hits to win nis first game of the season, 7 to 3. Showing no trace of the shoul der soreness that forced him out of Cleveland's opening day game on April 19 and kept him idle since then, Feller bore down beautifully when he need ed to, tiring a little in the eighth when he had a 7 to 1 lead and serving up home run pitches to Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr. He struck, out four and walked six...-.-. ....,. ...... Cleveland Manager, Lou Bou dreau, usually the "perfect gen tleman," got riled when he thought Boston Pitcher Harry Dorish was throwing at his head and a near skirmish re sulted. Joe Gordon, Negro rook ie Orestes Minoso, and Ken Kelt ner hit Cleveland homers. It was Gordon's fifth of the sea son and his third in two games. The White Sox management took down the home run fence in Comiskey park because oppos ing batters were gettin the most use out of it, but the torrid Yankees got a key homer by Tommy Henrich anyway and went on to top the Cbicagoans, 7 to 5. At Detroit, the alert Tigers won their fourth straight game. 6 to 5 from the Athletics with Aaron Robinson's homer the deciding blow, Johnny Mize of the Giants picked the perfect time to hit his 300th big league homer, breaking up a game with the Pirates in the 10th inning when he drilled a ball into the upper right field seats for a 3 to 2 victory. The Dodgers made it three in a row over the Cincinnati Reds, defeating them 7 to 5 on the margin of Billy Cox' two-run homer in the eighth. The Cardinals snapped a five game Philly winning streak when Ron Northey hit a ninth inning route clout to provide a 3 to 2 decision. The St. Louis Browns went down to their sixth straight loss in a night game in St. Louis, bowing to the Washington Sen ators, 5 to 3, as the Senators came from behind with three runs in the eighth inning.

Exact cause of the blaze was not known but police arson squads started immediate investigations because of the speed with which the fire spread. They detained two men and a boy for ques tioning but released them later. The fire started in the swank clubhouse of the multi-million dollar plant and leaped, within minutes, through the grand stand and turf club. Shortly aft er the roof and upper walls of the clubhouse and turf club burned away, the walls began to crumble. Huge chunks of ma sonry fell, and sent firemen running for their lives. A Hollywood Turf club spokesman said the loss was covered by insurance. One fireman, Inspector Clif ton Freeman, 30, Inglewood, seriously injured as all available Inglewood equipment plus some of Los Angeles vainly fought the wind-swept blaze. Some three hours after the blaze was first reported at 11 p.m., PST, it was under control At one time, embers and sparks from the eight-story high grand stand shot upwards of 1,000 feet and swirled in a gentle wind. The spectacular flames at tracted thousands of onlookers and snarled traffic in the dense ly-populated area. " The stands' were a total loss but the valuable horses on hand for the coming meeting were saved because of the stables' lo cation a half-mile from the main racing oval, Abo spared was the track's colorful flock of black and white swans and geese. The fowl huddled safely in the little lakes in the infield. The disastrous fire dealt death blow to Hollywood park's meeting, scheduled to start May 17, but Santa Anita park quick ly offered its facilities for the season.
