Boxing 'Way Down
One must hand it to Tex Salkeld, the genial promoter of box
ing, he keeps on plugRing away regardless of what happens at
the gate. Failure to attract anything like worthwhile audiences
around the armory arena can be charged against lack of talent.
This is particularly true as it applies to boxers who can really
put on a worthwhile contest. Then, too, there is no doubt but
that the amusement dollar is being spread thinner and thinner as
the man who pays the bill becomes a bit more choosey as to just
what entertainments he will attend. This is reflected in the
comparatively small number of men who qualified for the Salem
Golf club championship. In recent years this event has not
gone below 100. But, getting back to Tex, he is slated to open
the winter boxing season in the Portland auditorium the night
ef Sept. 20 with John L. Sullivan and Lloyd Marshall as the prin-,
eipal attraction. Marshall's record includes a knockout over
Ezzard Charles, present heavyweight champ, back in 1943 and
win over Jake Lamotta, middleweight king.
Football Is Here
It's a hit hard to visualize, nevertheless football Is right
upon us with a number of clubs opening competition next
Saturday. First to (.hove off for the 1949 grid wars In these
parts are the Oregon Webfoots and the OSC Beavers. Due
to the distance Involved the Beavers will doubtless be the
first to get under way. Coach Kip Taylor and his crew
have an engagement with the UCLA Bruins in Los Angeles
the nUht of Sept. 16. The same night Coach Jim Aiken will .
aend his Oregonians against St. Mary's in Kezar stadium,
hard by Golden Gate park, San Francisco. Then. Chester
Stackhouse, most recent arrival as head man at Willamette,
will depart for Moscow where the University of Idaho Van
dals await. Quite an initiation for Coach Stackhouse.
Stackhouse Liked
Trom what we have been able to glean here and there, Ches
ter Stackhouse has made an excellent impression on the young
men whom he will direct this fall. Even those die-hards who
aid they wouldn't return to the Willamette campus unless this
man or that one was hired and who did come back with some
thing of a chip on their shoulders, have gone enthusiastically to
work after a brief "look-see." There is more hustle and spirit
on old Sweetland field than we have seen in a number of years.
f Possessed with unusual ability to get things organized and then
carry through, the former University of Michigan athlete has sold
himself, lock, stock and barrel, not only to the gridmen but also
to others who have had a chance to greet him.
Gym Overhauled
Willamette gymnasium was not In bad shape when the new
man arrived but he went to work correcting the things that
ha deemed essential, and as a result the place is much more
workable and liveable. Old equipment was dug out and
articles that were found useless went Into the junk heap.
"Profanity Is Not a Sign of Intelligence," a statement ap
pearing over the doorway leading Into the equipment room,
reflects the mental attitude of the new head man. We have
not gained the Impression that Coach Stackhouse Is a saint
or one who would spend most of his time preaching morals
but we have an Idea that he Is all In favor of turning out
future eoaches, professional and business men who have a
few Ideals above the gutter level. The fact that two or
three members of last uiar's squad had fully made up their
minds to go elsewherehls fall and then showed up here,
means the boys already on the job had passed the good word
along.
Baseball Yes or No
ine iuiure oi professional oasenmi in oaiem may oepena upon
what happens during Tuesday night's conference slated for the
Chamber of Commerce. Few persons indicated In the sport
who have expressed an opinion to this writer, believe the Waters
park and the Salem franchise is worth the $95,000 asked by the
Portland management. There Is a feeling that Business Manager
Bill Mulligan will accept a smaller amount if the counter pro
posal is backed up with something substantial in a financial way.
Regardless of what the property is worth under a fair appraisal
we do not believe it could be replaced at the figure designated
by the Beaver interests if one had to start from scratch. If Salem
) wants to invest in baseball now is the time to act. However, we
tiave a feeling that if the present riesl doesn't go through the
rVavers will field a team here next spring. That is providing
the Western International league isn't involved in an entire pro
gram of revamping.

New York, Sept. 13 (U.R) It is
easy to wonder about the crack
up of a championship ball club
and in this era of the lively
ball the downfall of the Cleve
land Indians and Boston Braves
may In a large measure be traced
to their failure to hit home runs
at the right time this season.
The Indians particiularly have
managed to get their blows for
the distance when the bases
aren't well populated and situa
tions like that can turn a lot
of games that might have been
li to 2 victories into 2 to 1 de
feats. That's the difference be
tween a homer with bases emp
ty and a homer with the bases
loaded. If you have a club that

ba.se, a lot of well pitched games
can go right into the defeat col
umn.
Homers, as such, aren't al
ways of paramount impor
tance as the New York Giants
proved in 1947 when they hit
an all-time major league high
of 221 yet just managed to
finish in fourth place.
On the basis of runs batted
in via homers, the Cleveland
club with 162 on a total of 105
homers has one of the lowest
percentages in the major
leagues. What s more, the club
is off considerably in total pro
duction of homers inasmuch as
it came through with 155 round
trip blows last season.
The Braves aren't down on
total homers In fact, they
are almost certain tn pass last
year's high of 95 since they
have 92 to date, but here
again the matter of hitting
them at the right time is in
volved. Thus far the Braves
have gotten a total of 142
runs hatted In with their 92
homers, 55 of which have
come with nobody on base.
For the first time in major
league history it looks as if a
Brooklyn team will set the ma
jor league home run pace and
the Dodgers' round trip blows
have been particularly product
ive. Out in front now with 152
homers tops for both leagues,
the Brooks have made those
good for 247 runs batted in. A
total of six homers have come
with thp hasps loader!. nrmnf I
highest grand slam mark in he1"Q RcDOft AbOllfr
majors, and the Dodgers addi-l
tionally have gotten 19 homers Portloficl SCSSIOVI
wilh two men on base and 491
with ono on. The othrr 68 hsvr
come with the sacks rmpty.
The Red Sox are the Ameri
can league home run loaders
with 120 and they have Rotten
mifihty Rood use out of them,
too. with 225 runs batted in on
four grand slammrrs, 25 with
two men on, 43 with a sinter
man aboard, and 48 with the
bases empty.
The Yankees have done
well in that resppct, too, their
105 homers having (tnnr for
173 runs, two with the bases
loaded, lit with two men on
base, and 26 with one man on.
