Baseball Deal Off
Some of the members of the group of Salem business and
professional' men who have been trying to make a deal for the
Salem Senator baseball franchise are a bit miffed over the
termination of negotiations. They point out that they took the
trouble to go into considerable detail as to their proposal to the
Portland Beaver management and the fact that the Beaver front
office didn't take time to acknowledge the proffer irks the local
group to some extent. "They might have presented a counter
proposal at least," one member of the Salem committee pointed
out. As we understand the situation, the deal involved the leas
ing of the franchise in the Western International league, not its
outright purchase. Apparently Messrs Norgan, Mulligan & Emigh
did not believe such a transaction would prove satisfactory and
then decided to operate the club for another season at least. We
have a feeling that if some individual or group of men would
deposit a cashier's check for $60,000, they could become owners
of the entire property ball park, franchise and players. The
Beavers wanted to get out from under completely and apparently
didn't want to take the risk of having the club tossed back in
their laps should the agreement prove unworkable.
Cagers Develop atY
Quite a number of kids who either do not turn out for
public school competition in basketball show up at the YMCA
where their desires for combat are met And quite frequently
soma of the youngsters become quite a'dept at handling the
big leather sphere. Frankie Page, who later became a mem
ber of the Salem Viking club that won the state championship,
was a good example of YMCA development Currently, sev
eral boys are playing in the Hi-Y league who are destined
to become well known when they reach Salem high school.
At any rate this is the opinion of Roth Holts, boys work
secretary who has been watching the youngsters perform.

of the Vancouver Capilanos hopes to have his new ball park
in operation by the middle of the season. The new layout will
be much larger than the one that has seen service for many
years and should attract a larger following in the British Colum
bia metropolis. Admission prices will be the same this year
s last and will be virtually uniform over the entire circuit.
Corncob Shuttlecocks
Those schools which have a minimum amount of money
to devote to athletic activities should be interested in the
manufacture of shuttlecocks from corncobs and turkey quills
for use on the badminton court The Idea was broached in a
recent bulletin of the Oregon School Activities association.
A one inch section is cut from the cob and sandpapered to
the desired shape. The pulp is removed and the hole enlarged
and the natural grooves within form firm pockets for the
feathers. The quills are glued In position while a double
strand of dental floss can be used to keep them spaced
accurately. The contrivance is coated with glue and when
dry is said to prove ideal for indoor play.

Q-Back Shows His
Shiftiness With
Quick USC Switch
Los Angeles, Feb. 9 W) Foot
ball player Ed Dimirjian has al
ready established himself as a
very shifty young man.
The 170-pound quarterback,
who announced two days ago
that he would register at UCLA,
today was enrolled at the Uni
versity of Southern California.
Before that, the star gridder had
been tabbed for the University
of California.
Dimirjian, a transfer from
John Muir Junior college in Pas
adena and central figure in a
court case still pending which
involved his eligibility last fall,
at first said he liked the law
course at UCLA.
A few hours later, however,
he reversed the field and signed
at USC. He said he liked its
law course better.
That's what the boy said, any
how.

Role of Cage Spoilers
(By the Associated Press)
Oregon and Idaho, now rele
gated to Battling against a per
manent cellar berth, r.ould raise
havoc in this week-end's sparse
Northern division basketball pic
ture.
Only two conference clashes
are on the books Idaho against
front-running WSC at Pullman
and Oregon against the challeng
ing third-place Oregon State
Beavers at Eugene. Both are set
for Friday night.
A victory for the Vandals
would give both second place
Washington and OSC new life
in their bid to overtake the
Cougars, should, the Beavers
get over Oregon. But should
the Ducks come up with a
game such as they played in
dumping Washington twice,
OSC could well drop out of the
parade.
Washington, idle in the con

action from the University of

Citation Jockey
Provides Track
Fans With Problem
Arcadia, Calif., Feb. 9 P)
The burning question around the
race track today was whether
Steve Brooks or Eddie Arcaro
will ride Citation in the $50,000
San Antonio handicap at Santa
Anita Saturday.
Last report from Trainer
Jimmy Jones was that he hadn't
decided which jockey will get
the call for Big C in the mile
and one-eighth stake, first major
step in Citation's come-back.
Arcaro stepped in when Calu
met's former great little rider,
Al Snider, was drowned in Flor
ida in 1948, Eddie piloted Cita
tion to the triple crown and
horse of the year honors.
Brooks, however, is currently
the regular rider for Warren
Wright's Calumets out here and
presumably will get the chance
to make his own choice.
He has the reverse record of
having been astride Citation in
two of the horse's three defeats
in his 31 races.

For Hockey Coach
Detroit, Feb. 9 W Charlie
Conacher, fiery coach of the
Chicago Blackhawks hockey
team was in trouble on two
fronts today after a pair of in
cidents involving a referee and
a newspaperman last night
Conacher's troubles matched
those of his hockey team which
absorbed a 9-2 pasting from the
Detroit Red Wings in a national
hockey league game here.
The more serious of Cona
cher's difficulties appeared to be
a charge by hockey writer Lew
Walter of the Detroit Times that
the Chicago coach slugged him
in the Blackhawks' dressing
room.
Walter said he would seek an
assault warrant against Cona
cher. The other was a declaration
by Referee Bill Chadwick that
he would file a full report with
the NHL of a disputed play and
mixup involving Conacher dur
ing last night s game.

round.
ment as Newcombe's fast ball
whizzes by, but also trouble for
Brooklyn Manager Burt Shot
ton. It seems that every time
Barnacle Barney opens his
mouth, Newcombe puts his arm
in it.
Big Don was the rookie of the
year in the National league for
i49 a telling star in the Dodger
drive for the pennant and the
Brooklyn pitcher with the most
games won 17.
But did Shotton heap this
face-saving ace with praise? He
did not.
Back at the start of the sea
son Newcombe was with Mon
treal, the Dodger International
league farm club. Brooklyn was
in great need of pitching aid, for
the regular mound corps stum
bled about in inept frenzy.
Shotton was asked what about
this Montreal sensation, couldn't
he help?
"Nope," said the wise old owl.
"He's a little hard to handle and
he isn't ready for the maiors."
A week later Don Newcombe
was in the majors, pitching for
Brooklyn. He looked good, so
bhotton was asked for a reap
praisal. "Might be OK, but he has
too much to learn."
Don won seven of his next
nine decisions when the Cards
were their hottest in the drive,
while Rex Barney, who Shotton
termed the real Brooklyn pitch
ing ace, won only two games in
two months.

this bout. Johnson tumbled to

He was downed in the sec
ond round by a series of vici
ous lefts and rights, but in
the third he sprung out after
the bell, apparently fit. Be
fore Walcott could strike a
blow, however, Johnson sud
denly stiffened, put his right

As Walcott stepped away,
startled, Johnson rolled over on
his back, wincing with pain. He
dragged himself over the ring

completed the 10-count.
Ringside doctors indicated
Johnson suffered a sacroiliac

he was hurt in this manner in
