Ross Blasts Gilchrist
Logger in Sensational
Finish to Bond Smoker
Fred Ross' swift knockout of
Elton Lundy, the Gilchrist log
ger, brought a sensational finish
last night to the diversified
union labor smoker that added
over (40,000 to April war bond
purchases,
Young Ross, son of Bobby Ross
of old-time fighting fame here
abouts, exemplified the "chip off
the old block" adage as he threw
a series of short, powerful Jabs
that- had the Gilchrist blond
down for seven counts In the
first round and finished him off
quickly in the second.
Their bout was unscheduled
on the program, but was an
nounced as the main event of the
evening after Lundy accepted
Ross' challenge to meet any
comer. Ross, a KUHS grad, has
been at Oregon State this year
and won a place on the boxing
team of the Corvallis Institution.
Lundy, an employe of the Gil
christ Timber company, fought
in several smokers for the Eu
gene Elks a couple of years ago.
Ross combined coolness with
excellent form to meet the open
ing rushes of tho logger, whose
vigor soon wore off. His punches
currying more power than ap
peared to the eye, Ross knocked
the logger down neor the ropes
and only the bell saved him that
time after Referee Frank Ram
sey had taken the count to seven
Lundy came back gamely, but
the calm young Oregon Stater
kept throwing those powerful
short Jabs. The logger went down
again, this time to stay there. It
made a short .main event, but the
crowd got a thrill that finished
off an evening that proved most
satisfactory In every respect.
Chiloquin and Klamath high
school fighters and wrestlers fur
nished the competition for tho
other events of the boxing and
wrestling card, arranged by
Ramsey and union labor as a
final event on the April bond
drive.
The wrestling program opened
with a battle royal featuring
Glen Miller, Carl Weaver. Bill
Alcorn, Dick Hicks, Ralph Mund
lin and Al Clinc. Hicks and
Mundlln were eliminated first,
followed by Miller and Weaver.
Miller won over Weaver In tho
first twosome that followed the
general melee, and the final
match featured Alcorn and
Cllne, last to leave the battle
royal.
Alcorn won this event with a
fall in two minutes and 30 sec
onds. Doug "Strangler" Clement and
Dick "Bulldog" Prairie then
staged a first class take-off on a
professional grunt and groan ses
sion. In traditional style, the lads
finally decided to take the ref
eree, and Ramsey mixed in with
a little simulated eye-gouging.
First boxing match in the 105
pound class featured Arnold Mi
gliaccio of KUHS and Gaylor
Hatcher, Indian. Hatcher was
outweighed but boxed gamely
with the Klamath lad, who dis
played good form to win the
match by a unanimous decision.
Ernie Dodson won over Dean
Nichols In the first match In the
125-pound class. It was a fast
grudge fight that left both lads
groggy. In the other match in
that class, Jim Keeling of KUHS
won a 2 to 1 decision over John
Ruff of Chiloquin.
Chiloquin scored Its first vic
tory of the evening when Wayne
Hatcher defeated Dale Vander
hoff, 3 to 0, in a well-fought
scrap in the 135-pound class.
Close decision was that which
gave Bob Sawyer the nod over
Ben DeVore In the 145-pound
class, Don Vanderhoff and Dean
Campbell, both of Klamath,
staged a hot battle which Van
derhoff took, 2 to 1.
In the next 145-pound fight,
Vcrlon Brummel defeated Rich
ard John of Chiloquin. Brummel
opened with a whirlwind attack
that had the young Indian flying
back and forth across the ring,
but tho Klamath lad couldn't
hold the pace and it developed
Into a slugging match with
Brummel still keeping the edge,
One of tho best bouts of the
evening matched Hunk Schort
gen nnd Claude Hill in tho 155
pound category, Schortgen win
ning a 2 to 1 decision,
Lcroy B a r k I e y, Chiloquin,
won a hard-fought match from
Bob Benson. KUHS, with a 3 to
0 decision that got more boos
than any other verdict. Benson
started the affair with a rush,
taking the first round, but the
pace told on him and Barkley,
showing rugged stamina In tho
fnco of Benson's terrific attiu-k,
finally came through with tho
edge.
Buddy Bickers of Chiloquin
found a tartar in brick-topped
Vcrn Zimmerman, and was a
loser hanging rubber-legged on
the ropes when the final bell
gavo a 3 to 0 decision to the
Klamath lad.
Last high school bout of the
evening was a hot slugging
match which Vcrn Yank won
over Floyd Hunsaker in tho 175
pound class.
Every seat In the armory was
sold for tho sports evtmt, but in
clement weather kept many scat
holders away from an outstand
ing card. The evening began

much to expect the Senators to
be in third place come world
series time. But if Emil (Dutch)
Leonard maintains his early sea
son form, Bluege's first year as
a manager is likely to be a happy
one. -

One hundred and two hits!
Count 'em, brother. That's what
Coast league batters collected in
four wild games yesterday and
that's why they're reaching for
the liniment bottle today.
Thirty-seven hits resounded at
San Diego's lane field in a twi

before Leftfielder Swede Jensen
socked a home run that gave the
home town Padres an 11-10 win
over Portland. .
Portland nicked four Padre
pitchers for 20 hits, with San
Diego raking three opposing
huriers for 17.
The win enabled the Padres
to remain in a tie with Los An

in the eleventh also produced a
boxscore as long as a salesman's

ting department, Hollywood col

Rightfielder Andy Pafko's tri
ple followed by a long fly by
Third Baseman. Charley English
produced the winning tally.
