Although the problem has stumped regular baseball meu these many years, the conference heads meeting here are tackling the question for their own purposes. Some baseball circles hold semi-pros are those who obtain Jobs through their playing ability with business concerns who back teams. The diehards contend there Is no In-between where matters of pro fessionalism and amateurism are concerned. The definition move among the circuit heads is being made In the interests of college baseball players who admittedly lack competition to which many feel they are entitled. A conference player who engages in semi-pro competition at present automatically becomes Ineligible. As a result the collegian players gel rusty from summer inactivity, unless they play under assumed names. Then there Is always the chance Bevos Open Sac Series By The Associated Press The Pacific Coast league may be In for a little equalir-atlon this week.

Tunney realized he would need tremendous strength to pin Demp sey's arms. The Manassa Mauler tore opponents apart at in-fighting. So Tunney went' to the Maine woods and swung an axe. He strengthened his brittle hands by squeezing a rubber ball endlessly. He had but one idea to be champion and wound up with 3 ,000 .000 when he retired In 1928. He never lost his enthusiasm for boxing, but never cheapened it by refereelng wrestling matches, giv ing exhibitions and trying come backs.

INSURANCE GROUP District Agent Phone 6923 Site For MM It seems (hat the much maligned catfish Is going to have his Inning June 33 over In Mrdford. and the 30-30 club of that city, operating something railed the National Catfish Derby, has tossed down the gauntlet to sportsmen over here who might take a flyer at challenging Jackson county's claim at having the biggest, liveliest and tastiest cat fish In the surrounding country. Already three members of the local 30-30 outfit, Stewart Patty, Tom Milne and Rex Rogers, have disputed Medturd's frenelle grasp at catfish fame by Insinuating that any catfish caught out of the Rogue will be one who strayed from his home In Klamath lakes and got to Jackson county by one of the subterranean streams which supposedly teed the Kogue. In rebuttal the Medfurdltes have hinted that only the sick, lame and lay. unable to make the trip, Anyhow, the local lads have people they will show UP In Metlford June 33 with the most colossal string of catfish ever seen In Southern Oregon. Am unable to locate any records of the slse of catfish caught In Klamath county, but the biggest onea. three or four ixiuiirix wem caught out of the Upper lake around Rabbit flat, I'm told. They don't anywnrre compare in site to tne Dig channel cat of the cornbread and buttermilk states where they get up to 50-60 pounds. Henthorne Up Against Patton Davy Henthorne Is very apt to get some experience at coining In second at the national collegiate championship track meet In Salt Lake City June 30 and 31. The University of Oregon sprinter has not had to look at the heels of another 100-yard dash man all season, but Mel Patton. Southern Cal's whirlwind, might be the man who will finish ahead of Davy. Patton. sophomore, is currently billed as the "fastest human." He has hit 9.4 In the 100 once this spring and did 9 5 on two or three oc casions. Henthorne's best time so far has been 9 6 Both Oregon and Oregon State are sending three of their best trackmen to the Salt Lake City show. The Ducks will be represented by Henthorne In the sprints. Oeorge Rasmussen In the pole vault, and Bob Belfuss In the high Jump. The Orangemen are Bob Relman. shot and discus: Bob Laldlaw, broad Jump, and Ken Elliott, high Jump. . Semi-Windup To Louis Exhibit Ursal (Olngerl Snap has been signed to fight the seml-windup bout on a boxing card at Seattle June 17. In effect Snapp'it place on the card will be the top event, because the main attraction of the evening will be an exhibition between Heavyweight Champ Joe Louis and Tiger Jack Fox. The fight will be Ursal's first appearance In Seattle, an eight rounder against Eddie Kayo Halllgan. a middleweight favorite In those parts from Spokane. One of Halllgans feats was a knockout over Oeorgie Cote, the boy Snapp knocked' out out In Portland a few weeks ago. ' . , Snapp Loves His Knockouts Snapp's record now stands at 30 wins In 31 fights, including 18 knockouts. The one decision against him was by Tut Tabor and an other meeting with Tabor is very much on Ursal's agenda. Snapp has lost none of his personal popularity here, even though his recent shows haven't been anything to write home about. He can't be held responsible for the type of opponents he has had recently and Informa me that he J?uU punch for ,he "ke ot "no' Th knockout's the thing with him, the quicker the better.
