Machen Thursday . night took a methodical ring vic tory over Young Jack John son of Los Angeles. The ver dict was unanimous. The fight was his first since being knocked out by Inge mar Johansson last year in Sweden. At that time, Ma chen was the number one contender for the heavy weight crown. Since then he has slipped to number six in the rankings. Kneeing Apparent Most of the action was re served for the last two rounds. In the ninth Johnson, 218, Los Angeles, triggered Machen's temper by apparent ly kneeing him in the groin three times. It also aroused the partisan Machen crowd Until then, it had been a fairly mediocre fight, with neither man hurting the other. But in the ninth, after the kneeing episodes, Machen tried for the big punch. He failed, but the last two rounds were by far the best of the fight. Machen won both by wide margins. Ashlander Stopped In the dressing room after the fight, Machen collapsed but was brought around quickly and complained of being tired. He apparently was not hurt at anytime dur ing the fight. Referee Ralph Gruman scored the fight 100-91, Judge George Robinson had it 99-95 and Judge Eddie Volk 99-94, all for. Machen. The crowd was announced as 2,613 and paid a gross of $7,313 to see the fight. Preliminary results: Cal Brown, Spokane, knocked out Lee Bounds, Ashland, in the first round; Roger Rouse, Opportunity, Mont., KO'd James Jackson, Fresno, Calif., in one; Jimmy Walker, Portland, decisioned Mickey Gilmer, Seattle, and Chinco Chavez, Portland, and Bob Milne, Seattle, drew in 4. Meyer, Jackson Shine in Drills United Press International Russ Meyer and Ransom Jackson, who were big league stars away back when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, are making strong early bids to start new careers with American league teams. Meyer, the former "mad monk of Flatbush," is trying to win a place on the Kansas City Athletics' pitching staff while Jackson, once valued by the Dodgers at $100,000, is battling for a third base job with the Cleveland Indians. The 35-year-old Meyer im pressed Manager Harry Craft Thursday when he pitched three hitless innings during Kansas City's final intra-squad game of the spring. Meyer said afterward that has arm trouble has completely disap peared and added, "I feel I can stick with the Athletics this year." Jackson, a 33-year-old na tive of Little Rock, Ork., hit two homers and drove in eight runs during the Indians' three game intrasquad series which was concluded Thursday. A poll of newsmen covering the Indians' camp made him the series' most valuable player. Shortstop Billy Moran hom ered for the big blow of Thursday's game. TT In the spotlight...

"It is a great gesture on Mr; O'Malley's part and on the part of the players," Cam panella added. Spoon was being 'watched closely by horsemen for possible Ken tucky Derby threats. Several Could Offer And there were several that could offer an argument at Churchill Downs May 2, in cluding the colt that didn't make Saturday's race because of injuries, Tomy Lee. Neil S.

Favored Myrtle Creek, No. 1 rated A-2 quintet in Ore gon, opposes Henley in the 7 p.m. opener. Eagle Point tangles, with Glide in the sec ond game. Winners play Saturday night here in the champion ship contest. Tonight's losers will vie in a 7 p.m. Saturday fracas. Myrtle Creek (21-1) was Umpqua Valley league win ner and Glide was runner-up. Eagle Point was co-champion with Illinois Valley in the Rogue league.

The Pioneers accepted a bid to the National Invitation tournament Thursday al though they still have a slim chance of winning the Sky line conference berth in the NCAA championship. However, all their troubles may be resolved tonight if Utah beats Wyoming and thus clinches the ' Skyline title. That would leave Denver free to honor its commitment in the NIT. Utah, currently leading the Skyline with an 11-1 record, also has a conference date with Colorado State Saturday night while .Denver (10-2) plays Brigham Young tonight and Utah State Saturday night. So if Utah loses both its week end games and Den ver wins its final two con tests, the Pioneers will be the conference champions. What then? Well, Denver already has indicated it will drop out of the NIT and com pete in the NCAA western regional playoffs at San Fran cisco next week. ffftilEP tea plus year retreodable lira putt enr Gates tire on year car EXCHANGE Phone SP 2-4806 MAIL TRIBUNE, MiJforJ, A-2 Tournament Ashland Tonight wood.
