Br HALE SCARBROUGH
J Whether or not Klamnth Falls
is going to be on the baseball
map this summer is entirely be
tide the point or mis aiscussion,
J. Sooner or later, within the
next three years would be a good
guess, Klamath Is going to have
cnanco 10 neia a piuicssionm
baseball team In a recognized
professional loop, the town is go.
lng to nave a cnance ior aog rac
ing, more football, perhaps some
Outdoor fights in the summer.
Where, if these things come
to pass is a
stadium and
playing field
going to be
found?
A look
round our
very crowded
town will as
sure you of
one thing.
That Mills
area, out
where Recrea
tion field is
now, is virtual
ly the only
centrally-located, level, accessi
ble and available spot for a
sports garden.
The city needs only to acquire
one lot out there and hang on
,to the ground already city-owned
to have a field of more than
eight acres for a future sports
use which is going to get more
and more pressing month after
month and year after year.
The only section of that ground
not now owned by the city is
owned by Mr.. Hector DeBaets
and that gentleman has already
expressed a willingness to swap
his lot for a city-owned lot on
Vine, just half a block away, if
the city will just move his house
to tne new location.
You'll never get any more co
operation than that.
Even if the ground isn't used
this summer, even if it's not used
next fall or next winter, this
corner firmly believes that ae
Quirine the space and holding it.
removing the lots from the mar
ket, would be a move the city
need never be dissatisfied for
having taken.
Some day either private capi
tal or public is going to' fulfill
Klamath's crying need for a
sports field and a great portion
of the fight will be won by hav
ing the spot picked out and set
aside beforehand.
' Now we understand Mr. De
Baets wants to make some im
provements on his house when
ever materials are available and
he can get started. If the city
passes up the opportunity to
make the proposed swap with
him now, who would blame him
tor feeling a whole lot different
ly about trading after he has re
modeled his home.
You ex-servicemen, remember
the not-so-doggone-funny -"over-seas
jokes about missing boats?
Well, here's one Klamath Falls
would do well not to miss.

Man O' War
Passes 29
Year Mark
LEXINGTON, Ky., March
29 OP) Through the mythical
hour glass of time, the sands
of another year began flowing
today for Man o' War, aged
equine nobleman and pride of
the blue grass country.
But as "Big Red" became
29 years old the equivalent
of almost a century in the life
span of a human being-
things just wcren t the same
for the great thoroughbred.
Even as he was being dis
played at bamuel D. Riddle s
Faraway farm near here, "The
Man" seemed to sense there
was something missing. And
there was.
Will Harbut, "Red's" Negro
groom for 16 years, whose line
of chatter about the horse had
been heard by thousands of
fans, was bedridden at his
home "down the road apiece."
Will, who isn't young in
years any more either, suffered
a stroke about ten days ago.
"Law'se Ah miss that hoss,"
said Harbut from his bed, near
which hang several pictures
of him with "Big Red," his
favorite subject at any time.
Kahut Meets
LA Battler
At Portland
PORTLAND. March 29 (JF)
Joe Kahut, woodburn s heavy
weight pride, will battle Buddy
Millard, Los Angeles, over the
10-round route tonight with a
date with Fitzy Fitzpatrick at
stake.
Even a draw will keep the
ticket to Los Angeles and the
Fitzpatrick bout in Kahut's
hands. But a decisive win by
Millard will break up the Kahut
Fitzpatrick affair.
Millard, ranked as third-best
California heavyweight the first
of the year, flashed a powerful
left and neat boxing skill in
workouts this week.
A 10-round semi-final will
send Duane Hoag, Portland
against Bert White, Los Angeles.
Both are featherweights.
Roy Hawkins, Portland heavy
weight, goes for six rounds or
less with Jim Dixon, Tulsa,
Okla.. in the special event. The
opening six-rounder on tonight's
card will pit Lightweights Leroy
Durst, Longview, and Don
Kenny, Portland. ,

World's Largest (?)
Trout Checks Out
BELLEFONTE, Pa., March 29
(JP) Old Brown Beauty is dead.
He's a 27-pound, 35-inch trout
which State Fish Commissioner
Charles A. French believes was
the world's largest.
I doubt the existence of a
brown trout anywhere to equal
that size," said French.
The fish lived at least 15 years
at the Pleasant Gap fish farm!

Keneston Gains Default
Over Angelo In Slugfest
If Bob Keneston. is ud on his
ancient history he should know
that from as far back as the time
when Rome and Carthage were
bRttling it out a victory like the
one he scored at the armory last
night has been generally con
sidered not worth the trouble.
Keneston's paw was raised in
victory over Martino Angelo
after a short and furious main
go, but Keneston still had to be
lugged to the dressing room.
From the opening gone the
two huskies stood toe-to-toe and
slugged away. About three
minutes" of this and Angelo got
a fall by way of a Boston crab.
The second canto contained only
a minute or so of knuckle-dusting
before Keneston took a tum
ble with his Gold Hill specialty.
Bob took the offensive in the
third frame, clouting the Italian
through the ropes once and then
again. Tne second time Keneston
also went out to continue the
battle in the aisle. Angelo
clambered back .between the
hemp and when Keneston start
ed back in Martino gave him a
shove headfirst into the corner
post and back into the aisle.
Bob was out flat and Referee
Wally Moss completed his count
of 20 with the gladiator prone
on the floor. Then Keneston's
second picked him up and started
to drag him away. Angelo, not
through yet, stuck a leg through
the ropes and delivered Bob an
additional kick in the teeth.
That did it. Wally stepped
out and awarded the decision to
Keneston, to the delight of the
crowd and the anguish of Angelo.
The semi between Gust John
son and Tony Ross teetered be
tween a headlock for Gust and
a hammerlock for Tony -until
Ross got a fall with a grapevine
and another with a slam and
press while Johnson managed
one with a leg strap.
Frankie Clemons emulated an
octopus to defeat Billy Rayburn,
the only fall of the opener.
