, MO PLACE TO LAND
Klamath' baieball Pelicans
this week resemble tha flyer
who returned to hla home base
only to find the area so heavily
camouflaged he couldn't find
the field.
The camouflage in their
cue b an outright, final and
emphatic NO by officials of
tha Northern California league
to the Pelicans' application
for reinstatement In the No
Cal loop.
, The business began last year
when - the Klamaths voted to
enter the Oregon state circuit
rather than the No-al setup.
The move apparenti: germinat
ed a resentment by the southern
circuit toward the hometown
ers. i This season, the Pelicans
found it inconvenient in fact,
practically impossible to com
pete again in the state league
because of transportation and
tire problems. Thusly, they
sought reinstatement with the
northern California lads ..
But It seems that the same
. difficulties confront the south
era boys. Coupled with the
' hard-feeling hangover, the sit
uation resulted in the turn
down. The No-Cl league will
function with juit Mount
Shasta. Dunsmuir. McCloud
and Weed represented. All
four cities are within aa out
. fielder's throw from each
other, which means consider
able saving In rubber.
But which leaves the Peli
cans -without a .league. They
were not represented at a re
cent mcetinj of the state loop
which now shapes up with Al
bany. Silverton, Eugene and
Medford as certainties and Bend
a possibility.
,. However, Klamath backers
will make another attempt to
re-enter the faster group. Ac
ceptance depends on- the will of
the mob and, on the surface,
the will of the mob is against.
.Klamath la at the far end
of nowhere, according to Wil
. lunette valley - thinking, and
means at least a 400-mile
round trip several times each
season for the valley teams. '.
v Medford would like to see
the Bigbills in.
; Transportation"' problems
haven't been solved, either, for
the locals even if they are accepted.-
Availability of an old
school -bus with passable tires
is being investigated.
Howsomever Pete Lesmee
ter, -one of the more energetic
of .'Pelican fans, will trip to
Portland this weekend for a
meeting- with state . league
bosses. So we'll know Monday
whether Klamath will have in
dependent baseball, organized,
baseball, or no baseball during
our first war summer.
.It occurs to this correspon
dent that a city the size of ours
should support' a ball club. Par
ticularly this year when more
of us will be staying closer to
home on summer Sunday afternoons.

Vicious Vincent Lopez, mastodonic Mexican ex-world's cham
nion n-annler. occunied all of the ring and much of the arm
ory aisle space last night in a
Thunderbird but ultimately orougm nis lamea eioow smun
into sensational nlay to defeat the big Vancouver Indian, two
falls to one, in the main event
. The huge Mexican, who once
virtue of a win in a southern
plastered the
willing redskin
into a breathless stupor after two
minutes of rough grappling in
the third heat of their one-hour
time limit bout.
Previously the mammoth pair
had split a brace of evenly-contested
falls.
The Mexican newcomer capt
ured a first on a series of his
favorite elbow smashes accom
plished by holding one of his op
ponent's arms, pulling him vio
lently forward,' then smacking
him in the chest with a flying
arm.
But before he applied the
clincher, the dark-skinned mat
men had both fallen into Section
D and continued the battle up
and down an aisle before Referee
Earl Yoakley could separate 'em.
An earlier Yoakley attempt to
pull the grapplers apart had re
sulted In the arbiter becoming
almost hopelessly entangled in
Lopes' legs.
Thunderbird copped the sec
ond fall in a little over eight
minutes by fighting off Lopez"
smashes and punishing the Latin
with a nice- combination of a
stepover toehold and an Indian
deathlock.
It didn't take Lopez long, how
ever, to recover from the maul
ing. He roared back for the third
and shortly barraged the rugged
Indian with a terrific elbow to
the midsection : which knocked
both wind and fight out of him
In the middle event before a
crowd of some 600 persons,
Andre Adoree,; , smooth-working
French-Canadian,, downed mas
sive Joe Corbett of Boston with
a flying scissors and body, press
In the fifth round after each had
won a fall.
Adoree took the first fall In
the second by breaking a full
nelson with a quick push from
the ropes and pinning the Bos-
tonian with a reverse body press
in six minutes. Prior to that the
grappling had been dean but
languid.
Corbett evened it up In the
fourth with two flying shoulder
butts followed by an overwhelm
ing body press for the fall. '
Popular Pete Belcastro sus
tained a serious arm Injury in
the evening's opening bout
which prevented him from going
on after Jim Casey, Irish new
comer, had laid him low with a
hammerlock in the second
round. .
The injury was actually no
fault of the handsome, black
haired Irisher as ' it happened
when the Weed Italian missed
flying shoulder butt and cata
pulted himself out of the ring,
It was later reported that
doctors did not believe the wing
was broken. However, X-rays
were scheduled for Wednesday
morning. - '

A rookie team which beat the

the five-hit pitching of Lloyd

Walsh Named
New Boss of
Fordham Rams
NEW YORK, March 11 W
The same system that brought
Fordham university 72 triumphs
and only 14 defeats In nine years
under Jim Crowley will be con
tinued with Earl F. Walsh, big,
smiling Iowan, at the helm.
Walsh was named acting coach
of the Rams last night, and
Crowley was given a leave of
absence to join the navy, where
he probably will aid in toughen
ing flying cadets by football
methods.
The new Fordham boss was
Crowley's chief scout and back
field coach during his nine-year
tenure and came to the Rose
Hill institution after having
spent a similar period as head
coach and athletic director at
Dowling college, then the Dcs
Moines, la., Catholic academy.
