PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON " FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1954 lillilaDOD H .; ' "I u a . . - Seattle Kid Rumored D u clri ng Jimmy B yrne 'JK JIMMY BYRNE 1 , . . gets dodge from Kid Metthews -4 BILL LOGAN pitches forward on his face out for keeps eft catching a bomb thrown by Al Winn of Vallejo. The Vellejo heavyweight faces Portland's Jimmy Byrne Saturday night here In the top bout of the first boxing card since Oct. 13. 1953. Harry (Kid) Matthew's, listed in the ton ten among the nation's heavyweights, wants no part of Jimmy Byrne, 216-pound belter who will face Al Winn of Vallejo, Calif., in the feature bout on Sat urday night's fistic program at the Armory. Byrne reportedly was fired by Matthews manager, Jack Hurley, when the big walloper made Mat thews look bad in sparring ses sions. Since then the Kid. through Hur ley, has ducked Byrne In the lat ter's attempts to land a fight with the Seattle Slasher. Byrne, now listing his home as roruana, nas since pnen up a long string of knockouts In an at tempt to force Matthews into a light. His latest lullaby caper was over Big Bill Mathls of Eureka, Calif., a three-round trick. SLEEPER In Winn, Byrne may be meeting a "sleeper". The 21-year-old Val lejo Negro will come in at 100 pounds with a short 12-bout pro career after 40 amateur fights. Winn lost two of the 12 pro starts, to James Cartwright when Winn suffered a broken thumb, and to Chuck Woodworth in Salt Lake City on a cut eye. He fought an eight-round draw with Mathls, Byrne's victim, but Winn staged a terrific rally for the dead heat after Mathls, who outweighed him 70 pounds (Mathis Is 260), had him down five times In the first two neats. winn had Mathls "out on his feet" at the end of eight rounds, according to Manager ouldo Glomettl. VICTIMS Byrne's kayo victims include Joe Kahut, the Woodburn Wood' chopper. Both fighters have predicted a win; both can't be right, but one thing Is certain it's bound to be a real brawl, and unofficially at least, isn t expected to go the full 10 cantos, Neither Is the aemlwlndup ex pected to cover the scheduled six rounds in a fight that could rival the main event for sheer excite ment. It puts Ralph Weiser, the Bealty Bomber, against Winn's stable' mate, highly-rated Kenny W1V Hams. The Vallejo lightweight has gone to the professional post five times; tour tunes he's won by knockout, Including a one-round freeze job over Al Oariby on the recent Bono Olson-Joe Undone card In San Francisco. KAYO SKErf Olometti picks Williams, m line for a Son Francisco main event ahot against Tommy- Flores , to stop Weiser. But Weiser, a busy, crowding battler. Is always dan gerous with either hand and could well score an upset. Knockouts are more than pos sible In the six-round special event and the two four-round prelimi naries. Darrell Harrington, not too good a catcher but a good puncher, faces Ex-GI Eddie Brown, now training with Weiser, In the special event. The fours put George Bray. Bo nanza, against Scott Croquette cf Vallejo; and Billy Plummer, Bly, against Phil Jackson of Bonanza. Reserved tickets are on sale at Dick Reeder'g, 6th and Main. RED HURD, Sport Mitor Francis May Miss Tourney KANSAS CITY m How would you like to tell Coach Newt Oliver lie can t bring his 60-point a game Bevo Francis and the Rio Grande, Ohio, basketball team to your na tional tournament?

All 32 teams, with one exception, have been or will be chosen by district tournaments. The one ex ception is In Ohio where a big snowstorm forced cancellation of 11 playoff among Rio Grande, Flndlay, John' Carroll and Wllbcr force. "That one exception would have to Involve the nation's most lab ulous basketbnll polntmakcr,'' moaned Duer, "He has a oO-polnt overase over two years of play and scored an unbelievable 116 in one game. He wogld be a big as set but what are we to do about those other three? Thoy all have good records and maybe would have knocked olf Bevo and Rio Grande."

He ignored an aggravat ing head cold while methodically beating or tleing par for a first round 66 on the 7.200-yard, par 72 memorial park course. This left him one stroke ahead of Freddie Haas of New Orleans, winner of the January Palm Springs Open.

Seymour Is Talent's top handy man in the reserve ranks, and could see a lot of action to give the Bull dogs some height to fight Malin on the boards. , Others who may see some ac tion for Talent are the Wallace brothers, Mel and Jim, George Zlckefoose, Harold Bartol and Bill Dailcy. Barrett and McAbee are the top scorers for the Bulldogs with Hoff man, a sophomore, valuable with his long set shots. The Mustangs are capable of edging any one of many boys Into the top point-production depart ment with a well-balanced offen sive team, ' . . , Talent's main claim to fame Is two wins over Eagle Point, the team that shaded Henley in the re cent Dist. 4-A2 tourney and went pn to give Crater a battle for the title and a playoff with Grants Pass before losing out.
