Portland Likely to
Salem Team as Deals Cool
In ill probability Portland will operate the
Salem Senators at Waters field during tbe
1950 season.
This was determined when Howard Maple,
who headed a group of Salem business men,
decided that purchase of the franchise and
the 25th street property at this time was not
feasible, Maple was scheduled to discuss the
matter further with Bill Mulligan, business
manager of the Beavers in Portland Wed
nesday when a definite understanding is ex
pected to be reached.
During the recent Western International
league meeting. President Robert Abel was
told by representatives of the Tacoma and
Salem clubs ' that those tv.o communities
would definitely be represented in league
competition in 1950. That statement was
made 'during the time when Maple and Mul
ligan were negotiating.
Maple said Wednesday morning that his
conversations with Mulligan had been entire
ly pleasant and that every effort was made
to give the local group all possible Informa
tion, including the profit and loss portion
of the ledgers.
The development here might possibly
bring Eugene back into the picture although
nothing definite in this connection was
immediately available.

Ohio State, which now shares
the league lead with Michigan,

by trimming Northwestern.
The Buckeyes could simpli

chigan and taking the whole

the Bowl, too. Michigan is in
eligible to return to Pasadena
because It was a visitor there
two years ago.
' Another contingency a Wis
consin victory and an Ohio State
defeat would put the Badgers
In there. All is chaos.
The decision will be made by
a vote of conference faculty
representatives if the issues are
not cleanly settled Saturday. The
announcement will be made
Monday, Commissioner Ken

Bounding Basque Still Netting Titles
niT--
VV;YiiiiifflfcJ
Jean Borotra In action In 1931 .... and In 1949, still bounding
By BEN PHLEGAR
(AP Ntwsfaatursal
London Almost 25 years ago
a bouncing young Frenchman
with a brilliant forcing style
stroked his way to the heights
of the tennis world.
"Tne Bounding Basque" he
was called as Jean Borotra
swept the Wimbledon champion
ships and every other major
European title.
The bounce has slowed a little
by now, but the winning touch
remains.
Two months past hii 51st
birthday Borotra won bis 11th
Queens club indoor singles
title here recently. He fought
through a two-hour, five-set
match In the semifinals, then
returned the next day to tuck
away the cup easily with
straight set triumph over
Geoff Palsh, r. British Davis
cup star who is half his age.
And where does the bounce
come from?
"Right here." said Borotra as
he patted his firm stomach mus
cles. "Discipline the body and
the muscles. Good exercise. Do
not smoke. Do not drink."
The French ace outlined this
program:
Fifteen minutes of exercise
for the diaphragm every morn
ing. "I have been doing it for
20 years without a miss. You
must not miss."
After the exercise comes
breakfast porridge, bacon. Jam
and a little coffee.
But tbe coffee is strictly for
breakfast, Borotra emphasized.
"At night after a coffee you
will want brandy and after the
brandy a cigar and after the ci
gar, sleep. No!"
The Frenchman says no tea,
no liquor ("A little wine, of
course") and no tobacco.
"But remember, the real se
cret is discipline."
For Borotra all of this has
worked wonders. His slender
athletic build would he envied
by many a man of 40. So would
his tennis.

Major Leaguers .
Consider Rules,
Draft Choices
Cincinnati, Nov. 16 Major
league baseball begins another
of its chilly weather flings here
today.
The rules committee of base
ball met during the day as the
brass of the majors began arriv
ing for the annual player draft
tomorrow. The American asso
ciation also had a meeting sched
uled for today.
Recommendations for several
changes will be acted upon by
the rules committee, including
one to revoke the provision for
bidding the starting of an in
ning in a night game after 12:50
a.m.
Another would change the
rule which provides that a base
runner is out if hit by a batted
ball while standing on base.
That change would not apply
if the base runner were on the
move.
The recommendations have
been submitted by a subcom
mittee which made a study of
the rules over a period of sev
eral months.
Some 6,000 players, including
183 of the bonus variety, will go
on the block at the draft meet
ing. Bonus players are those
who were paid more than a
specified amount to sign a contract.
Not too many players are ex
pected to be picked up in the
draft. In 1948 only 19 were
claimed for a total of $182,500.
The teams which finished last in
the National and American sea
sons this year get first crack at
the talent.

Stirs Protest of Fans
Los Angeles, Nov. 16 (IP)
Controversy pointing to re
match raged along fistic row to
day in the wake of a decision
that gave Maxie (Little Duke)
Docusen of New Orleans vic
tory over Enrique Bolanos of
Mexico City in a bitterly fought
lightweight scrap.
Announcer Dan Tobey's read
ing of the verdict, a split deci
sion after 12 hectic rounds,
touched off a series of incidents.
The little Duke of Orleans
almost jumped out of the ring
In joy, Bolanos held his head
in stunned disbelief. Referee
Bill Klrschner slipped out of
the arena with several police
men in protective company
and three bonfires were set
off in the gallery. The fires
were put out.
Promoter Cal Eaton, even as
the boos rocked the house, and
with no twisting of his arm,
agreed to seek a rematch as soon
as possible.
More than 10,000 screaming
souls had overpacked his Olym
pic auditorium, paying a near
indoor record for the arena of
$47,770 to see this long develop
ing match between the two pop
ular fighters.
They had seen Docusen get
off to an early lead, had seen
Bolanos almost blast him Into
submission in the seventh and
eighth rounds and climax the
encounter with a blistering fi
nale. Then came the decision.
A poll of every metropolitan
boving writer at ringside show
ed that all thought Bolanos
should have won the decision.
Most of the writers had previ
ously picked Docusen to win the
fight.
Bolanos weighed 134 Vi, Docu
