Pederson Faces Szasz in Armorv Main Erie (The Great) 1 Pederson, bemuscled and arrogant wres tler, takes on Al Siasx in the main event of tonight's profes sional wrestling card at Salem armory. ' The Pederson-Szasz match highlights a grappling card which gets underway with pre liminaries at 8:30 p.m. Pederson, who physically is one of the strongest men in the sport of wrestling today, uses a powerful full nelson as his chief offensive weapon. But Szasz apparently isn't afraid of Pederson's full nel son, or any other hold Ped erson might have for that matter. Szasz and Pederson have wrestled each other twice in Portland recently, with each man winning one of the matches. So tonight's battle will be In the n a t u r e of a rubber match. And it might be added that Pederson and Szasz haven't built up any love for each other in their previous two matches. - Tommy Martindale and Chester Wallick meet in the semi-final match, with Billy Hickson facing Ralph Alexan der and Henry Lenz opposing Danny O'Rourke in other pre lims.

Young Anglers Compete in Annual Dallas Trout Derby Dallas Fishing season has opened officially. With a horde of youthful anglers lining the banks of La Creole Creek, the fish were shivering in their scales as the kids of Dallas had their opening day derby. The envy of many older an glers, the young folks showed that they don't need to take a back seat when it comes to catching fish. The high point of the day came for some at 5 p.m. when all entries in the derby were judged by retired Polk County Sheriff Tom Hooker. Judging took place at Fos ter's Home and Auto Supply Store, and was eagerly watch' ed by a large crowd of con testants and spectators. Outstanding among the en trants was 6-year-old Albert Shirley who took a prize as the youngest angler with a fish. A prize also went to Mary Slack for catching the longest fish to be taken by a girl. Other prizes went to Merline Fast, one of the 7th grade boys, for the best and heaviest string of ' fish; to John Gregory for Woodburn Girl Named Water Show Chairman Woodburn Miss Norene Wells of Woodburn has been elected pageant chairman of the Seahorses, women's swim' mine club at Oregon State col lege, an active organization that tops its year's activities by presenting an annual water pageant, Miss Wells is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Wells, Woodburn.-route 2, a sophomore in physical educa tion at Oregon State and is lifeguard at the Woodburn war memorial swimming pool. Event Tonite Proud One Eric (The Great) Ped erson, whose arrogance In the wrestling ring wins him few friends, will face Al Szass In the main event of tonight's professional wrest ling card at the Salem ar mory. The card starts at (:S0. if Am ' li f Left to richt: Al the longest fish of the day; and to Scotty Peters for the heavi est fish of the day. A ' problem arose when if was found that two fish, those caught by young Peters and Gregory, were tied for the longest fish of the day. Assisted by Jim Boren. Dal las assistant police chief. Hook er decided that, as there was also a prize for the heaviest fish, it was only fair that the catcher of the heaviest fish should have first choice of the two prizes. Peters was eiven his choice, taking a complete iioergiass casting rod and reel, while Gregory received a fly roo ana reel. Beavers Lose to Padres, Play Sactos This Week Portland U.R San Diego's four runs In the fourth inning coupled with the three-hit pitching of Bill Thomason gave the Padres a 4-0 victory over Portland last night In a Pacific Coast league baseball game, It was the final game of the week-long. Portland-San Die go series. Portland won the series, 4 to'S. Last night's con test made up a game rained out last week. San Diego made five of its seven hits off Lyman Lynde In the fourth frame. With one out, Tom Alston and Earl Rapp each got on with singles. Then Lou String er chased in Alston with a single. Dain Clay walked to fill the bases. Milt Smith struck out, but Catcher Red Mathis hit a single, scoring Rapp and Stringer. The Padres madt -the final run when Thomason hit a grounder to Don Eggert who overthrew at first, permitting Clay to score, A crowd of 2278 last night built the attendance for the series to 36,395. Portland meets Sacramento here tonight with Larry Ward (2-1) pitching for the Beavers and Charley Shanz ,1-0) for the Solons. San Francisco (IMS The San Francisco Seals today were surprising even their most rabid supporters in the three - week - old Pacific Coast League pennant chase. Consigned to a cellar berth in most pre-season forecasts, the Seals are battling for a first division berth and if Tommy Heath's men maintain their sudden strength with the willow they can become a def inite threat to the top clubs. San Francisco split a twin bill with Oakland last night, winning the opener, 8-3, and dropping the nightcap, 10-9, when Bill Howerton hit a bases-loaded homer in the ninth inning. . The Seals wound up a week's stay in Oakland on the long end of a 5-2 series with their bitter rivals. Ex cept for Howerton's blast, the Acorns had little to re joice about for they're now nine games off the pace. In last night's seven-Inning opener, the San Franciscans By WoH Ditxan Solemn. Witherspoon, Tanselli Homer in 77-Ht Barrage Br CHRIS KOWITZ, JR. Displaying more authority at the plate than at any time since the Callstoga, Calif., Chamber of Commerce treated them to a banquet at the opening of spring training nearly month ago, the Salem Senators lam basted four Sacramento pitch ers for 17 hits and a 15-5 vic tory over the Coast leaguers at waters park last night. Seven of Salem's 17 hits were for extra bases. Les Wlth erspoon's 35-ounce baton led the hit parade with a home run, triple and two singles. Hjs home run came in the third inning with two men on base. Gene Tanselli also homered for Salem, with one aboard in the fifth. Just about everybody got Into the act Thirteen Salem players saw action, and 11 of them got hits. Only starting pitcher Bill Bevens and pinch-hitter Bill Nelson went hitless. Bevens pitched the first six innings, giving up three hits and two runs. He looked in mid-season form, effectively keeping Sacramento's hits scat tered.. Bevens was never in trouble during the f i r s t five innings, but was nicked for two Sacto tallies in the sixth on one hit, a walk and two Salem er rors. Lefty Bob Collins worked the final three-frames on the mound for Salem. He allowed no hits, but Sacramento scored two unearned runs in the sev enth and one earned run in the eighth. Collins was troubled by wildness. He issued six walks. Meanwhile, Salem's' bats were banging out a sweet tune. Salem built up a 10-0 lead by the end of five innings. The Senators got three runs off starting Sacramento pitcher Gene Rornsple in the second on a walk to Don Taylor, a single 9PCL STANDINGS W L Pet. W L Pet.

It was Muncrief who was the victim of Howerton's hom er in the finale. Big Bob was trying to save the hide of Bill Bradord at exactly 12:58 a.m when Howerton came up with the bags loaded and unleashed his roundtripper.

Salem added two more runs In the fourth as manager Hugh Luby tripled, Tanselli drew a walk, Witherspoon hit a bloop single to center, scoring Luby, and Ray Stratum singled, scor ing Tanselli from second. Ben Lorino, who won 24 and lost 7 with Victoria In the Wes tern International league last season, came in to pitch for Victory at the outset of the fifth inning. He got Sabatinl to pop up, walked Luby, and then was greeted by Tanselli's blast over the right field wall. Joe Brovia, an outfielder who wanted to pitch just for fun last night, chucked the seventh and eighth innings against Salem, and found it wasn't so much fun after all. Salem blasted Brovia's slants for six hits and five runs In the eighth inning, and one of the hits a single by Stratton sent Brovia diving into the dirt to get out of the way. The game, first in Waters park this season, drew a crowd of 1484.
