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.

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.

ANGEL MANAGER
GROOMS THREAT
FOR COAST LOOP
Ontario, Ca!., March 12. (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.
