HRfl H 15th DEFEM BOLfflBE RflON TON fflBLW HOHSEHIDE ISSUE Assured of horsehide baseball but unsure of baseball play mates, local players, managers, backers, promoters, sponsors, and bat boys were scheduled to meet Friday night in tho city council chambers to debate and decide on merits of joining the Northern California diamond loop or the Oregon State league. Already granted ana c cepted is a franchise in the Cal circuit, of which Frank Snyder. Klamath automotive dealer, was recently named ice president. But pressured by a Medford group at last Tuesday's inaugural meeting to join the state league, the embryo Klamath squad nucle us is now on the fence. Medford's proposal brings a promise of two games each week, instead of the one Sunday afternoon match under Northern California rules. With it, of course, is the double revenue in volved. Games would be played Saturday night and Sunday af ternoon. Principal obstacle to the alley suggestion is the ques tion of availability of Recrea tion park, Klamath's flood lighted, brand new. noisy and dusty ballground which sets smack in the center of the petitioning residence owners who last summer further har ried the much-harried city council. Local diamond officials have promised to turf the field, pro vide for parking space and rec ognize an early lights-out curfew if adjoining citizenry will sub side, so this may be surmount ed. If it does, and other issues are levelled out, Klamath Falls will have a semi-pro ball game twice each week. It will be a welcome addition to the current weekly local athletic program. Eyed as possible diamond tal ent for the as yet unnamed Klamaths, will be several lads from past '' season's Bed Sox squads and the Dorr is Lumber jacks of;-1948.

For the favored Arkansas ag gregation the job belongs to Captain John Freiberger, whose 6 feet 8 inches makes it possible to flick away enemy shots while in a half crouch; Ed Beisser, 6 foot 5, does it for Creighton; Paul Lindeman, 7 inches above the 8 foot mark is Washington State's offering; Jim Weir, Beis ser's physical equal, works for Wyoming. In tonight's games Freiberger and his Razorback mates oppose Weir and company; Creighton sends Beisser against Washing ton State and Lindeman. Arkansas is favored. The Porkers went through their 18 game college schedule without a loss. The winner of the western final will meet the eastern cham pion here March 29 for the na tional title, won a year ago by Indiana. Dartsmouth, Wisconsin, Pitts burgh and North Carolina are competing today and tomorrow in the eastern elimination at Mad ison, Wis. Sam Snead Victor in North-South By BILL BONI GREENSBORO, N. C, March 21 UP) Before Samuel Jackson Snead, the new north-south open golf champion, teed off today in the first round of "the 55000 Greensboro open, he made darn sure that Mrs. Samuel Jackson was somewhere about the prem ises. It was Snead's fine golf, of course, which was the big fac tor in nis rec ord - tying vic tory in the north south at Pinehurst yes terday. There wasn't, anybody out there shoot ing that eleven under - par 277 for him. But there was somebody for whom he was playing the shots, and for Sam Snead whom he seems to play, them best when she's right close at hand. "That is the blond and attractive Mrs. Snead. This may seem like a bit of far-fetched romanticizing, but the record is right there for any one to see. Just before last month's St. Petersburg open, Snead went home and brought Mrs. Snead back with him. Up to that time his best showing was victory in one tournament and third place in another. Since then he has won at St. Pete, been finalist in the Miami four-ball, had third best score and fifth money at Belleair, Fla., won the national pro-amateur, and finally won the north-south, a jinx tourna ment to him in the past. He's been averaging close to $1000 a week. CHURCH BUS The First Baptist church, Ra leigh, N.

Scheduled instead is an other villain of a Johnny-come-lately sort Prince Nihalakis of old Bagdad or points nearby, in cluding San Francisco. These two will meet in Pro moter Mack Lillard's main event. Biggest treat, in the eyes of Klamath rassle bugs, is not this super whingding, however, but the return of Bulldog Jackson, native of Skagway, Alaska, darl ing of Hollywood fans, and al ways an attraction of the first water locally. Jackson, or "Yukon Jake" as he is known and loved in tropi cal, torrential southern Califor nia, will match brawn, brain and bustle with Ernie Piluso, likable and popular Klamathite in a semi-windup which should be the best bout of the program or of any other card in the past month. Opening the next regular Tues day night entertainment will be a clean, fast grapple between two currently appearing rasslers. Walter "Sneeze" Achiu, the bulky, black-topped Chinese ex gridder from Dayton, Ohio, will tussle Silent Rattan, slope-shouldered deaf mute from Indian. Rattan last week was dumped suddenly but decisively by Pile driving Otis Clingman, the Eu gene restauranteur. Olympics In Semi-Finals AAU Basketball Tourney Sees Hank Luisetti Get 22 Paints in Contest DENVER, March 21 (UP) Hank Luisetti again Thursday night outshone all the assembled stars in the "national AAU bas ketball tournament, as his San Francisco Olympics and two oth er California teams moved into the semi-finals. Luisetti, basketball's most pub licized player, slipped in and out of the tall Seattle Savidges with no apparent trouble, scoring 22 points as the Olympics defeated the Washington team 58-36. The lightly - held Oakland Calif., Athens scored a mild 48 36 upset victory over the Dallas, Tex., Wilsons, and the often repulsed Hollywood, Calif., Twentieth-Centuries smashed the Shreveport, La., Morris-Dicksons 47-38. Luisetti scored 16 points in the first half and surin the second, leaving the game with 12 min utes to play to receive a great ovation from the capacity crowd of 7000 spectators in City audi torium. , The Wilsons, really the South ern Methodist university team under private sponsorship, were no match for the fast-break of the Athens that was almost as deceptive as that the Texans used in upsetting the Denver Legions Wednesday night. Chester Carlisle and Johnny McGee were too much for the Wilsons, getting 18 and 14 points respectively. Dallas, principally through the aid of Grover Kee ton, who tallied 16 points, held Oakland to a 23-21 halftime mar gin. Most of the portion of the sec ond half of the Seattle game in which Luisetti played he spent in an entirely defensive capacity. Ed Liverick, one-handed shoot ing artist of the Savidges, one of the 1940 semi-finalists, tallied 17 points but it was impossible to stop the point-mtrking of the Olympics.

Nunn-Bush DREW'S MANSTORE 733 Main Huge Abe May Last Five Rounds Manhattan Mastodon and Manager Confident; Joe Outweighed by 47 Pound DETROIT, Mich., March 21 (UP) Joe Louis, defending his heavyweight title for the 15th time, will try to blast down his second "Man-mountain" tonight when he meets huge Abe Si mon of New York before a sell out crowd of 18,000 home-town fans. The Manhattan mastodon is ex pected to be levelled more quick ly than was Primo Camera, the ambling Alp, whom Louis knocked out in the sixth round back in 1935. They're betting 21 Abe comes down in sections be fore the fifth. Jacobs Cock-Sure Even Promoter Mike Jacobs seemed cock-sure of a Louis suc cess. He announced today a title tilt between Louis and Tony Musto for St. Louis on April 8 and was negotiating for Joe to battle at Los Angeles or Wash ington, D. C, in early May. Louis, too, shared the general confidence, despite the fact Big Abe will out-weigh him about 47 pounds. Bomber Joe said, "I hope Abe gets up a couple time, anyway." Simon never has been knocked off his feet. He lost on a technical kayo to Buddy Baer in 1037 be cause of cuts, but no one ever had him on the canvas. Simon is a more compact giant than Camera and has better co ordination. Moreover he's right at his physical peak, 26 years old. Abe packs 250 pounds on a six foot four-inch beam. "Satchel Foot" Camera scaled 2 6 0 1 pounds the night he met Louis, and Joe registered 196, a differ ence of 641 pounds. Four Oregon Boxers in AAU Tourney PORTLAND, March 21 tiP) Three Portland youths and a Chemawa fighter won their ways to the national championships in Boston, Mass., last night with victories in the Oregon AAU boxing finals.

All were defending state champions. They will leave March 26 for the national tournament which runs from March 31 to April 2.

Portland, Ore., skier whose long, easy strides won him victory over a tough cross-country course, held the commanding position In the national (our-wuy ski champion ships today. But to wrest tho four-way title from Alt Engcn of Sun Valley he must finish among the topnotchcrs in today's down hill race, tomorrow's slalom and Sunday's jumping. Winner of the four-way cham pionship will bo determined by his performances in all four events and many observers say the versatile Engcn, who finish ed third in yesterday's cross country race, still should be rated the favorite. Nearly 100 contestants were lined up for the downhill event but two-thirds of them will not be eligible for the four-way title since only 30 entered the cross country jaunt. Rodegaard made the double trip around the base of Baldy mountain yesterday in one hour, 41 minutes und nine seconds.

In Buffalo for the national AAU senior women's swimming and diving championships, Miss Holm admits tho 100-yard back stroke event should result In some ncrvo-tlngllng races.
