By The Associated Press
Tacoma continued to rule the
Western International league roost
today, but out of the corner of their
collective eye, the Tigers are watch
ing the fast-coming Victoria Ath
letics. The Canadians, yet to lose on
their home field, marked up their
fourth straight last night a S-J de
cision over Wenatchee to Jump
from sixth to a third place tie with
Salem. Two days ago they were in
the cellar.
TAG TEAM
FOES HAVE
RE-MATCH
Although Frankie Stoiack and
Glenn (Buddy) Knox licked Georges
Dusette and Frankie Hart a week
ago tonight in a rousing tag team
match, they must hare to make it
two best out of three to count.
The same four grapplers in the
same two teams will go at each
other again tonight in the main
event of the armory wrestling card.
Even the referee will be the same,
dour Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill,
Ore., third-manning the affair.
Last weeks match went the full
hour time limit to a decision for
BtojacE and Knox in as rousing a
conclusion as has featured a local
mat aiiair in many months.
Tne opening event on the card
will be a five-round scrap between
i-aavo Katonen and Buck Weaver,
scheduled to get under way at 8:30
p. m.

8-2 for the Pels, while the Cavemen
grabbed the five-stanza nightcap,
6-4.
Pat Williams, right-handed pitch
er, held the Cavemen to six hits in
the conference encounter and fan
ned six. The Cavemen took the
early lead with two runs in the first
frame, but the Pels put the game on
Ice In their half of the frame.
With two men on base, Ed Whit
ney was walked and Danny Derrah
smashed out a triple to chase in
three runs.
The games were played at Recrea
tion field.

SEVEN
ENTER
DERBY
LOUISVILLE. Ky April 30 t
Seven three-year-olds were entered
today for the 74th running of the
Kentucky Derby, smallest field since
1914 for America's premier racing
classic.
There was a possibility, however.
that only six might face the barrier
at the 2:30 p. m. (PSTi post-time
tomorrow. The doubtful entry was
Galedo. owned by Charles O'Neil of
Miami, Fla.
The forecast calls for consider
able cloudiness, warmer and pos
sibly scattered showers.
All the others, whose entry had
been assured for days, were In with
the top-heavy favorite Calumet
farm pair of Citation and Coaltown
heading the list.
The Calumets weren't the first
this morning, however, as R. W.
Mcllvains Billings became the ini
tial entry shortly after the box was
opened at the Churchill Downs sec
retary's office.
Citation and Coaltown followed
shortly, then came William L.
Brann's Escadru. Galedo, Ben F.
Whitaker's My Request, and Mrs.
John Payson Adams' Grandpere in
order.
Jammed trains, planes, buses and
other conveyances kept arriving to
day with people in them, all eager
to get sardlned into the rest of the
crowd, expected to swell to 100.000.
Woodburn Youth
Is Javelin Kina
CANBY, April 30 OP A Hall,
Woodburn, was getting mention to
day as the state's next high school
javelin king.
He tossed the javelin 185 feet 10',
inches yesterday in the Willamette
Valley league track meet, won by
Molalla.
This was a meet record. It was
short of the state mark, but ob
servers believed a duplicate throw
would be good enough to win the
state title for him at Corvallis later.
Molalla scored 7914 points In win
ning, followed by Sllverton 33'i.
Woodburn 30',, EsUcada 24, Dallas
16, Canby 15!3. Mt. Angel 8 and
Sandy 3.
Merrill Athletic
Fund Is Growing
MERRILL, April 30 The cam
paign for funds for the renovation
and lighting of the Merrill athletic
field Is going along satisfactorily
with about half the monev needed
already raised.
An elk barbecue the elk donated
by Chet Barton and a dance are
among the fund-raising projects
planned for the future. The ball
park committee is headed by Dick
Marks.
Floodlights for night football and
Softball are to be Installed on the
field.
Tacoma, meanwhile, racked up
No. 7 with a 10-7 margin over Yaki
ma as runner-uo Vancouver edged
out Spokane 4-2. Salem and Brem
erton divided a twin bill, the Ore
gomans taking the opener 9-7 but
losing out in the 10-inning finale
3-2.
The split lifted Bremerton from
a co-hold on the cellar to sixth
place. Yakima and Spokane took
seventh and eighth respectively.
The two-hit hurling of Victoria's
Larry Ward completely throttled the
Wenatchee attack. The Chiefs, hit
less for six innings, made both of
their runs in the seventh when
Ward bounced a pitch off Wilson's
head. Andrade doubled and both
scored on Gaviglio's single. A four
run fourth inning did the uick for
Victoria.
Tacoma batters continued their
field day at Yakima. Their 12 hits
ran the three game series total to 43.
Yakima bunched seven runs in the
seventh inning but couldn't offset a
three and six-run spurt by Tacoma
in the fifth and sixth.
Carl Gunnarson's four-hit pitch
ing and Frank Mullens' three dou
bles were the highlight of the Vancouver-Spokane
lracas.
Bremerton fans sat through five
hours of baseball as the Blue
jackets and Salem divided their
twin bill. After watching four
Bremerton hurlers throw away the
opener with 10 walks, the long wait
paid off at the end of the nightcap.
With the hometowners trailing 2-1
with two away In the ninth inning.
Bill Barisoff singled and knotted the
count on Eddie Sameoffs triple Into
left. Bremerton won in the 10th as
Al Maul tripled into deep right
center and scored on Frank Volpl's
single.
Angling
Season
Starts
Buford Ransom. hard-Dunchlni
and popular young welterweight
from Seattle, announced In that city
Thursday that he had signed to fight
Kicnara Rengel of Fresno. Calif.,
Tuesday in a 10-round main event
at Seattle, thereby giving Phil Samp
son of Klamath Falls something
closely akin to a run-around.
Last Tuesday night, when Samp
son was colliding with Billy Tierney
at Seattle, quite a ceremony was
made from the ring over a challenge
from Ransom to the winner of the
bout. He offered to meet the victor
next Tuesday.
History records that Sampson
turned out the lights on Tierney In
three rounds.
History stso records that last fall
Sampson knocked out Buford Ran
som in Portland, administering the
Seattle boy's only professional de
feat.
However, nothing more was said
about the "challenge to the winner"
made by Ransom until Seattle news
men asked why. Then it was re
ported that Sampson "had to return
to Klamath Falls to go to school."
Sampson does not go to school in
Klamath Falls or anywhere else.
having finished high school at Reno
some time ago. The Indian south
paw is believed to have returned to
his home in Reno after the Tierney
fight when he wasn't offered a re
turn with Ransom. j

other half game to their lead by
edging San Diego, 3-2, as two more
games were rained out Inst night.
Idled were Los Angeles at Sacra
mento and Seattle at Oakland. The
mounting total means lots of double
headers coming up, and that's when
pitching will tell.
The twin bill fare will be extra
rich at Oakland, with doubles carded
tonight, tomorrow and Sunday.
There'll be two tomorrow and Sun
day at Sacramento following to
night's singleton.
In the other contest played last
night. Hollywood outslugged Port

went ahead 2-0 but Portland tied It
in the fourth inning. Hollywood ex
ploded for four runs in the sixth
but Portland did the same thing In
the seventh, so they were still tied.
6-8.
Hollywood's Lou Kulin doubled to

ning run. The Beavers outhlt the
