VP) A bad case of the "whips and Jingles" thwarted Harold Salvador's fourth attempt today to win the Oregon Amateur Golf Championship at Riverside Golf club. The dark-skinned Portland shotmaker, playing the final round for the fourth straight year, went completely haywire in the afternoon 18 to lose, 8 4, to Louis Jennings of Portland. Marian MrDouKall, who has won the women's title more times than Salvador has lost Die men's, successfully defend ed her championship, defeating Sissy Green, 4 3. Salvador was 1 up at lunch, but folded completely when it appeared that at last his knock on the throne room door was to be answered. Jennings, a public links player who served notice of his titular ambitions by winning medalist honors, played consist ently but not sensationally. Miss Green, a huky 13-year old, cracked out her usually long shots but Miss McDougali'j tournament experience proved too much. Cloili. time lot Too Late to Clae. Hfj Ada la I 30 p m.

Bob Kenaston in the main event of Monday night'i wrestling program in the armory, and lo cal fans who do the vocal wager ing are about evenly divided in predicting the winner. There are many clients who believe that Piluso will prove too fast, clever and smart for the big Gold Hill toughie. But on me omer hand, an equal number of customers figure that Kenaston. in too rjhvsieal con dition, will be too powerful and rougn lor tne Portland flash.
