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. Ernie Bishop,
who last year gamboled in the
Western International league, is

Wyoming In Western NCAA
Final; Easterners Clash
By HAROLD CLAASEN
KANSAS CITY, March 21 VP)
The western NCAA basketball
final gets under way tonight
with a . quartet of champions
each boasting a pivot who is
truly a "post" graduate.
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.

Yukon Jake
Signed for
Armory Bout
By BOB LEONARD
Billed for a return engage
ment next Tuesday night in the
Klamath armory is none other
than the bushy Pete Belcastro,
of the Weed, Calif., Bclcastros,
who this time will not meet Mad
cap Michael (Outside Ropes) Na
zarian. 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.

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

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.

tough cross-country course, held
the commanding position In the

But to wrest tho four-way

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

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
