Lesnevich Suffers Severe Sealing in Brawl With Bivins Cleveland, March 12 W) Although Gus Lesnevich la the llKht heavyweight champion, Cleveland's Jimmy Bivins gave him such a pasting last night that Gus' co-manager, Lew Dia mond, doesn't want any part of a return match. "We'll never fight him again," Diamond declared after freely admitting Brother Gui wai far from the better icrapper in the 10 round non-title slugfest be fore 9,429 Cleveland Arena cus tomers. Bivins gulped a quart of water to raise his weight to 178U safely over the 175-pound limit and left the champion with a big cut under his right eye, his nose bloodied and his ego slight ly damaged. "I Just couldn't get going." ex plained Lesnevich, who weighed 178. "Bivins is a tough fighter and a good fighter." Entering the ring a 11-10 fa vorite, the champion had only one good round the tenth al though he got a slight edge In the fourth and the fifth. The third was even and the remain ing six went to the Cleveland Negro. Lesnevich felt the floor twice. A smashing right to the Jaw sent him down for no count In the jecond, while he slipped to one xnee ducking one in the fourth sesson.

At the TRAINING CAMPS By tha Associated Press Tampa, Fla. Ray Starr, 39- year-old rookie who pitched tlx Innings for the Cincinnati Reds in yesterday's exhibition with tha Boston Red Sox, heard Man ager Bill McKechnle complain that he might not have a pitcher for Saturday's game. "I'll be ready," said Ray. "All I need is 12 hours sleep and I'm always ready. St Petersburg, Fla. Joe Gor don apparently lost none of his class during his holdout siege.

Hillsboro May Give Medf ordites Trouble Is Hulen's Opinion By BILLY HULElf Mail Tribune Sports Editor Salem, March 11 (Spl.) It is possible the Hillsboro Spart-s, who ran over St. Helens by a 37 to 24 count right after the Tigeri got through taking that 31 to 28 thriller from Mclaugh lin high of Mllton-Freewa'er yesterday afternoon, may cause Russ Acheson's club no little ttnuble In their quarter-finals clash at 4:30 p. m. today. The district 9 champs, coached by Reece Hathborn, possess a couple of pretty nice sharpshooters in Center Crockett, a six-foot-three-inch veteran, and Forward Zeigler, who towers two inches above six feet Crockett hit 12 points and Zeigier 10 against St. Helens, and all of them were beautiful one-hand-en from the key hole and corneri. The Snartans emoloy a zone i defense, the same as Medford, and have lots of fight. However, we expect the Bengals to cop. after a hard battle. Hillsboro's season's record is not too im pressive at 10 wins and 10 losses. Dale Neidermeyer, Medford's 15-year-old sophomore reserve, had a great deal to do with his team's victory over Mac hirfh, which some tournament observ ers regarded as a mild upset. In the torrid fourth period, when a couple of field buckets by thin, six-feet-two-inch Almos Magruder chopped the Medford lead to 21 to 20, Neidermeyer stepped into the picture with a beauty from the corner to make it 23 to 20. Magruder riveted another a moment later for a 23 to 22 count, but again Neidermeyer matched it to make it 25 to 22. With three minutes to play Mag ruder once more canned a two pointer to cut the Tiger lead to 25 to 24. and it was Bill Wall this time who came through in the clutch with a corner toss to give the locals a 27 to 24 margin. A moment later the Tigers clinched it when Don Fawcett coolly dropped in a pair of gift heaves, and although Captain Henry Herman went out on personals with two minutes to play the Pioneers couldn't catch up. Magruder scored again be fore the end. but so did Med ford's R. B. Webber, and that wai that. It was a fine, well deserved victory. The whole team ,was rather nervous and tied up the first half, Fawcett especially. But io wai Mac high. In the second half both clubs loosened up and raced up and down the floor at breakneck speed. Wall , played about half the game, and it was apparent he still fert the effects of the throat infection of last, week-end. He tired quickly, and after the game went straight to the hotel and went to bed. He was up for dinner, and said he felt fine. The way it looks to us, the Tigers will be in the finals Saturday night. They should beat Hillsboro this afternoon and we think there is a good chance they'll follow with a vic tory over either CorvaUis or Alt. Angel, who play this after noon, Friday night in the semi finals. , Aieaiora s victory was a grana oresent for Mr. and Mrs. Bill Newland, who celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary yes terday. They are two of Med ford's most rabid cage fans, and brought a carload of players to the tournament It was made very clear which team the Salem high students in their rooting section were pull ing for. Mac high, of course, and vociferously as the devil. But they had to eat their words. Glory: Lee Reynolds and Faw cett were walking toward town after the game when up surged s(x iUgcious high school gall begging for autographs on their programs. They were obliged. Baker'i Bulldogs looked ter rific in whipping Oregon City, 48 to 42. Especially Guard Tommy Holman, ajl-state second teamer last year, who canned six field buckets after flashing dribbles into the key hole. He should make the all-state first team hands down. Astoria's Fighting Fishermen, defending champs, looked equal ly impressive in their 49 to 29 conquest of Eugene, and lived up to all pre-tournament notices regarding their speed and superb physical condition. They simply ran the Axemen off their col lective feet. McMinnville, in downing the giant Klamath Falls Pelicans, became a distinct dark horse. Bob Caviness, who scored 22 points, appeared to be one of the best forwards in the tour nament. The boards should smoke tonight when Astoria and McMinnville meet in the quarter-finals.

(JP) Manager Arnold S t a 1 1 Is grooming a team he and many unbiased observers believe will be a real threat for the Pacific Coast league pennant this year for Los Angeles Angel admirers. New faces, new spirit and some good looking material are the reasons the veteran jigger believes Seattle's reign might be ended, and he says he Isn't kidding. This new teamwork between the Angel management and the parent Chicago Cuba, sort of a lateral passing play by Statz, Presidence Clarence Rowland and Cub directorate, may spell wonders for Los Angeles, which blushed through an embarras sing season last year. Gone are most all the fam iliar faces. Effective Ray Prim, a southpaw, is the only old standby still on deck, and he ought to be better than ever. Look for good pitching from ! several newcomers, including Ed (Bountiful) Heusser and Peaches Davis, a couple of gents who know their way around. And look for a good infield once the Cubs send the Angels a first baseman. Roy Hughes at second. Bill Schuster at short and Eddie Mayo at third should be all the doctor ordered.
