Newspaper Page Textt Midland PAGE EIGHT M High School Boxers Set For Bond Smoker Friday Mast, Barklay Feature Main Event Struggle; Ross Issues Challenge The main event boxing match for the Friday, April 30, "Bond Drive" smoker at the city armory will feature Don Mast and Le roy Barklay in a challenge battle. Mast, one of the best fighters ' In Klamath Falls, received a cut over the left eye in his last match NEW YORK, April 27 (IP) Maybe what's been said about the new blooper baseball is true, but Andy Coakley, former major league player and manager and coach at Columbia for more years than you can remember, figures that lack of training this spring has a lot to do with the, low-hit games . . . Andy's Lions have played with both the old and the new baseballs this spring and, while the new one is 8 lot slower, he claims it' will go if it's hit right. ' . - QUOTE, UNQUOTE "They haven't had any real practice this spring because of the weather," Coakley points out. "The only way you can get bitting practice' is. to bit." Those general conditioning exer cises the players endured in camp, he says, may have helped the pitchers to get into shape for throwing, which would be anoth er point on their side . . . "You know what the colleges are do ing?" Andy asks. "The ones with good hitting teams are us ing the old livelier ball. We're using the new one at Columbia." . SPORTS MENTION W. E. Boeing, the airplane man, hasn't seen his two derby candidates, Slide Rule and Twoses, since be bought them. And he's too busy with war work to watch them run for the roses . . . Marine Capt. Dan Top ping, owner of the football Dodgers, got a plane priority for his wife, Sonja Henie, when they went west last week but had to take the train himself . . . Sonja was on her way to a Red Cross benefit but Dan was just a ma rine on leave. . CIRCULATION NOTE Jimmy Conzelman has been scared to death ever since he re ceived that honorary degree from Dayton university. .... The award started a fresh demand for copies of his famous com mencement address, including a request from Senator Capper and one from a Milwaukee high school teacher who wanted to use it as a text in his "civilian advancement" course . . . Now Jimmy is afraid he'll have to make another serious talk. TODAY'S GUEST STAR John Parker, Taunton (Mass.) Daily Gazette: "The only chance the Boston Braves might have this year of making the first division would be to reclassify the entire squad into 1-A." SERVICE DEPT. Maj. Del Avery, former Utah U. quarterback, has crashed four times in combat and each time he has gone back for more. Now he's flying against the Germans in North Africa . . . Apparently under war rules you don't lose the ball after four downs .... Navy Lieut. Leonard Hank, ath letic officer on a destroyer that has been bouncing around the Aleutians, reports that a special technique is required for boxing bouts on the fantail of a destroy er .. . The best attack is to wait for the ship to roll and then charge downhill . . . But a smart defensive boxer learns when to sidestep and then it's up to the other guy to keep from going overboard. CHANGE OF HEART FRANKFORT, Ind (P) ,"1 thought I wanted to be a thief, but I guess I don't." iniri n nolo to a proprietor whose drug store was Durgiarized of $50. Accompanying the . note was the $80 and an extra dollar to re pair the front door lock, which the conscience-stricken burglar had broken to gain entrance.

Sports fZ Briefs Vf Hugh , T4 j Fullerton. JrA . E April 27, 1943 and may not be able to fight. In case he doesn't, he will be re placed by Bob Benson. Benson, although not as aggressive, is a very good scrapper and a cool customer, and should prove to be a worthy opponent for Bark lay. In Barklay we find one of the best fighters from Chiloquin. He is an Indian boy tricky and fast. A new development in organ izing the card for Friday's bouts is a challenge by Fred Ross, for mer KUHS student and now a boxer at OSC, to take on anyone from 170 pounds and up in a feature bout. Coach Ramsey is dickering for a worthy opponent from Camp Newell to accept the challenge. Anyone who is inter ested in a challenge should con tact Ramsey at once. Another match has been added on to the smoker and finds Claude Hill meeting Hank Schortgen. Both are tough foot ball players and are expected to put on a rough go. They are fast and torrid sluggers. Ben Devore, the boy who knocked out his last opponent with one punch, will be matched only with a new fighter. His op ponent will be capable, hard punching Bob Sawyer. This should be a close fight since both boys are evenly matched. One of the cleverest little box ers in KUHS, Arnold Malatchi, will tackle Gaylor of Chiloquin. Gaylor is an aggressive Indian boy who has plenty of fast foot work. Both boys tip the scale at 105 pounds. At 155 pounds, Verlin "Cow boy" Brummel will face Wayne Hatcher of Chiloquin, another Indian boy. Brummel probably has more experience since he fought on many amateur cards in Oklahoma before coming out west. However, this bout should be a slugging match for they are both hard hitters. In the heavier class, Verne Zimmerman will square off against Bickers of Chiloquin the only white boy representing Chiloquin high school. There will also be five other bouts to round out a swell fight card. Matches will be three two- minute rounds and decisions will be rendered by the judges. Buy a bond, see a bout.

Advance estimates were that about 90,000 fans would turn out for the eight games and if the predictions are fulfilled, baseball not only will have its biggest day of the spring, but will have a load lifted off its collective mind. The schedule and the expected attendance: National league Boston at New York 15,000; Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 15,000; Chicago at St. Louis 10,000; Brooklyn at Phila delphia 7000. American league St. Louis at Detroit 25,000; New York at Bos ton 10,000; Cleveland at Chicago 5000; Philadelphia at Washing ton 4000. Up till now attendance at games has been far below expec tations and observers have been casting around for explanations as well as solutions. The approx imate total turnout for 27 ball games (doubleheaders counted as one, of course) has been 248,000 divided,'126,400 in the National league for 13 dates and 121,600 in the American league for 14 dates. That amounts to less than an average of 10,000 in spite of the fact that the figures include opening day, Saturday and Sun day usually three peaks. Only two games, the inaugurals at Washington and Cincinnati, have drawn as many as 20,000 fans. Baseball magnates are hopeful they can find the answer to the mystery of what has become of the almost fanatic followers who once flocked to their parks, rain or shine, good teams or bad. Two National league clubs, the Cincinnati Reds and the Phillies already have announced forth coming experiments with morn ing games. Most of the members of the senior circuit also have decided to use last year's base balls till a new and livelier mod el of the 1943 balata ball can be produced. The Brooklyn Dodgers re turned to the 1942 ball over the weekend. The New York Giants will use it today in their home opener with the Braves at the Polo Grounds. The Pittsburgh Pirates, the Phillies, Reds and St. Louis Cardinals also have placed hasty orders for supplies of last year's balls and will put tnem in use as soon as they ar rive. The American league has stood pat on the balata ball. Today's games left the wraps off several standout hurlers. The New York Yankees planned to use Southpaw Marius Russo against the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox called on Lefty Thornton Lee against the Cleveland Indians. Both had sore arms last season, Russo pitching only four complete games and Lee six, although both had been stars in 1941. In the National league Whitlow Wyatt of the Dodgers, Schoolboy Rowe of the Phillies and Bob Klingcr of the Pirates all will be making their first appearances of the new season. Pelican Netmen Splatter Medford in Six Matches The KUHS tennis team, with more new faces than familiar faces, made their debut last Sat urday on the local court with a decisive victory over a strong Medford net team, taking six out of the seven matches. The first match was a closo one with Jim Noel of KUHS winning over Cate of Medford, 6-4, 8-6. The outcome of this match was not decided until the last set when Noel made a great comeback to win. Bernard Vaillancour, drop kick star of the KUHS football team, gave Jones of Medford a thorough trouncing, taking both sets 6-4, 6-0 in the second match. Another fairly even battle was the Proctor win over Rae of Medford which ended 6-3, 6-3. The only KUHS defeat saw New man lose to Nordwick 2-6, 3-6. The last singles match went three sets with Metz of KUHS victor over Knits of Medford, 6-4, 6-8, 6-1. Noel of Vaillancour teamed up in the first doubles match to defeat the Medford team of Cate and Nordwick in two sets, 6-1, 6-4.

Washington State, meanwhile, gained its first victory of the sea son, 9 to 3 over Idaho, leaving the Moscow club solo cellar ten ancy, with six defeats and no victories. Oregon seized a lead in the fourth inning and never was headed, although Washington, who split a series with Oregon State lust week, rallied for two runs in the seventh and another in the eighth. Third Baseman Lcn Tran of the Huskies was the hitting star of the contest, with three singles. Jack Crockett gave the Web foots but six hits, against 11 giv en up by Oregon's Nick Bcglcr ics. The Huskies, however, left 12 men stranded on base. The teams play again today. Washington State scored twice in the first inning and added four more in the second to get the jump on Idaho. Davis of Ida ho nicked Kramer for a home run. but the WSC hurlcr was tight in the clutch and came I through with a five hit game. with the discus tossing of Ensign Hugh Cannon being the best of the day at either party.

Drake athletes were superior in five of the nine individual events contested last weekend and contributed Pete Watkins of Texas A & M as a record break er. Watkins, leaping 6 feet 8 inches, wiped out the 21-ycar-old Drake high jump mark. The midwestern spectators saw five of the fastest relay finishes among the seven that were on both programs. Three of the Drake best were furnished by Illinois runners and the remain ing pair by those from Missouri.
