War Bond Smoker Shows Local Pugilistic Talent Eleven Boxing, Two Wrestling Bouts Round Out Full Program Friday Night ; Br VIRGIL GROSS Remember tomorrow night at the city armory! A "War Bond Drive" smoker will be staged With talented fighters and wrest lers performing from Chiloquin high school and KUHS under the auspices of the central Labor 1 Union. ' . . ' Eleven boxing and two wrest' ling bouts, one a battle royal, round out a full program for the smoker. ; . y- The battle royal will be the feature attraction with Al Cline boasting he will take this go. Two of the other six have vowed to force Cline out first; so a big brawl is at hand. Main event on the wrestling card will be the Strangler Clement-"Bulldog" Prairie struggle in a truly "pro fessional" bout. The two heavies will poke fun at the pros and illustrate how they get by night after night in body-bruisin' bouts. ."Bulldog" has sworn that he will get revenge on the . last defeat he received at the hands of the "Strangler." "Strangler's" spe cialty is eye gouging and. ' Bull dog" is going to give him some of. his own. medicine if neces sary. '.....:."-:." -V;'. J . . Don Mast will not be able to . appear on the card because of tile cut over bis left eye but will be replaced by capable Bob Benson. Benson will face Leroy Barklay, one of. the best fight ers from Chiloquin.' Benson is plenty: rugged and should give Barklay a stiff battle. This should prove to be , the main event boxing bout . . Another" feature boxing bout will.be the Ernie Dodson-Dean Nichols fray. In their last bout these boys fought a very close match which. Nichols won. One round was a draw and two were awarded Nichols. 'This should be a great revenge battle. Bud Bickers, ex-Pelican foot ball star and a Chiloquin boy, predicts a victory over Verne Zimmerman. He will have to go some to accomplish this feat as Zimmerman showed plenty . in his last bout at the high school. The Verne Yank-Floyd Hun Derby ville Listens to Baseball Comparison of Count Fleet .

"That Count Fleet," he rea soned, "is just like the Yankees used to be in their batting prac tices before a world series. The Count's a real fine horse, and everybody else in the race shows it. The Yankees were murderers' row in those days, a few years back, and every team they tangled with knew it. ; "But when they took their cuts during ' batting practice. - they always made sure the fel lows on the other' side were watching them.

In their last slugfest they brought the crowd to its feet in a toe to toe battle. Another probable close fight Is the Dean Campbell-Don Van' derhoff affair. , These two boys are 145 pounders, show fast foot work and are hard punchers. Two other bouts, John Ruff vs. Jim Keeling and Verlin Brummel vs. Richard John, should both be close and ex citing battles. Ruff, of Chiloquin, says he is going to beat Jim Keeling. A tough fight should be In the offing. : Fred Ross, former KUHS fight er and now on the OSC fight team, has challenged anyone from 170 pounds and up. He has not yet received a single challenge, so anyone interested should contact Frank Ramsey or call the News-Herald. .So remember tomorrow.

Kermit Lewis Leaves Frisco For Navy Duty SAN fRANCISCO, April 29 VP) The San Francisco baseball club will lose its biggest batting punch after this week with the departure of Kermit Lewis, right fielder. . - The big right hand hitter, who led the coast league in runs bat ted in with 115 and hit .312 last season, received word today to report for duty with the U.

Breeder? Ask Racing Group For Action SEATTLE, : April 29 (P) Prompt action by the state racing commission on the issue of 1943 racing at Longacres was asked last night by thorough bred horse breeders of the state. The breeders also resolved to ask Governor Langlie for ap pointment of a member of their association to the racing com mission. George Stribling, a farmer shipyard worker who owns, the winner of last year's Washington Futurity, declared action on Longacres should be demanded from the governor's office be cause, he said, "the commission is apparently acting under orders." " . George Newell, past president of the Breeders association. added: "We have a large Investment at stake and many problems. The commission certainly has had time during the past 60 days to give ample study to this situ ation." A committee, headed by Glenn Granger of Seattle, association president, will be named to con fer with the governor. ; ; Plans Set for . Elks, Reames Golf Match Sunday Plans for a golf match be tween the Elks lodge and the Reames Golf club are all set, ac cording to Homer Ellis, heading the Elks team, and Harry Pan ning, head of the Reames squad. The match is tentatively set for Sunday, May 1, weather provid ing, and starting times for the foursomes will be announced Saturday. All members of the Elks, who are golfers but not members of the Reames club, are asked to contact Ellis, as some more play ers are needed. only one of them has ever beat- ten the Count in the 17 starts of his career. This was Gold Show er last summer, and that was re garded as an accident. And when the Count turned in his 2:07 workout, there wasn't one of them who didn't admit the Fleet was "in," or well on the way, anyway. 'The closest thing to actual op timism came from plain Ben Jones, trainer of Ocean Wave, who is the only really potential threat to the Hertz Hurricane. Although the Wave came out of Tuesday's victorious derby trial mile victory with a cracked heel, Ben saw one hope. . "If the Count and his boy make just one mistake," Jones contended, "we'll win this hoss race. And it's awful tough run ning that derby mile and a quar ter without making a mistake." i i ii i i i PAQE TEN Draft Boards Decide Fate of Pennant Race American League Players Quake Under Long Arm of Selective Service Br JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The American league's pennant race seems to be In the hands of the draft authorities today. Today Shortstop George Stlrnwolss of tho Now York Yankees undergoes an induction examination at Hartford, Conn., and Inst night it was disclosed that an appeals board at Mansfield, O., has retained Second Baseman Roy Mack of the Cleveland Indians In class 1-A. Neither of the players Is as prominent as some that are sure to be called later In tho season, but they are vital cogs in the clubs that now rank one-two in the American league and their cases are as controversial as any baseball is likely to produce. Mack was married on October 16, 1940. the date of the first draft registration, is the father of an 18-months-old daughter and expects another child this summer. - The Indians had ex pected him to be deferred by the selective service ruling that fathers. of children born before last September would not be called until the supply of single and childless married men had been exhausted The appeals board said its de cision was not unanimous, leav ing Mack the right to take his case to the presidential board Stirnweiss, a bridegroom of about six weeks, is understood to have stomach ulcers and Yan kee spokesmen have said he was rejected for this reason when he tried to become a naval aviation cadet last winter. The pace-setting Yankees have played five games, winning four, and Stirnweiss has hit safely in every contest for a batting aver age of .455 to show that even though he is a 24-year-old rookie he is as valuable to the club as any veteran. Yesterday the Yan kees shut out the . Boston Red Sox, 5-0, with Ernie Bonham pitching six-hit ball. Stirnweiss made three of New York's eight hits, scored one run and batted in another. . Cleveland took over undis puted possession of second place as Lefty Al Smith, shut out the Chicago White Sox, 2-0. Smith gave nine hits to the six his teammates obtained offr Bill Dietrich, but the Indians bunch ed three singles and two stolen bases in the first Inning to get their runs. The Indians in winning five of their first seven games have distinguished themselves as pen nant possibilities if they can keep their team together and keep clicking. The early games have indicated no other likely rival for the Yanks. The Washington Senators, who moved into third place as Ewald Pyle pitched them to a 3-0 vic tory over the Philadelphia Ath letics, also suffered a draft blow when Infielder Gerry Prlddy was summoned to New York for his physical examination. The Detroit Tigers, making making their delayed opening at home before 17,043 fans, stop ped the St. Louis Browns, 4-2, with Tommy Bridges and John Gorsick combining to hold the Browns to five hits. Bridges con tributed two timely singles to his own victory. The world champion St Louis Cardinals lost their contest with the Chicago Cubs, 4-0, on four errors and the tight seven-hit hurling of Hiram Bithorn, the Bruins' Puerto Rican righthand er. There were nine errors In the Brooklyn Dodgers affair with the Philadelphia Phillies and Brooklyn's National, league lead ers finally obtained a 4-3 de cision with an unearned run in the tenth after Schoolboy Rowe's pinch double had produced two' runs to tie the score in the eighth. , The New York ' Giants' deal for Ernie Lombardl boomerang ed as Connie Ryan, the infielder To the Public: for your generous patronage of our opening danco at Skare ' land last Saturday evonlng.

W. , April 29, 1943 'Premature' Planning for Football Hit Athletic Heads Think Cal Acted Hastily in Leaving Out Northern Schools MOSCOW, Ida., April 29 (ff) Two additional athletic execu tives of northern division schools in the Pacific Coast conference here expressed the opinion that athletic directors of California schools had acted "prematurely" in drawing up a tentative south ern division football schedule, leaving out northern schools. Athletic Director George Greene of the University of Idaho and Graduate Manager Earl Foster of Washington State college said yesterday t h e y agreed with a similar opinion expressed Tuesday by Roland Belshaw, University of Washing ton athletic manager. Both, however, reiterated pre vious statements that a north- south split of the conference seemed the only solution to keep ing college football on the coast alive during the war. Greene said it had been his intention to vote for a northern home-and-home schedule "but I don't see what the boys down south got in such a hurry for. There hasn't even been an offi cial vote to break up the league for the duration." .'Agreeing with Belshaw that the California move - was pre mature, Foster added: "It reminded me of the con ference, meeting last winter just before which California an nounced it would drop all inter collegiate sports. This embar rassed California more than it did the rest of us." Belshaw had said a vote of six managers was required to shelve the fall schedule and that the final word on the matter was reserved for faculty repre sentatives. they cast off Tuesday, came through with a three-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Boston Braves a 3-2 victory. The Giants tried to rally In their half of the ninth, and got one run across, but Lombardl ended the game as a pinch-hitter by grounding Into a double play. The Cincinnati Reds . beat Pittsburgh, 3-1, with Elmer Rid dle holding the Pirates to five hits, although Joe Beggs had to get the final out for him In the ninth. , hohts By Th.
