PAG! EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FAILS. ORKGON PIUDAY, MAY 7. MM Boot Weiser, Al Moore Bout Off Klamath Track Team In Medford For Meet Tonight's main evenl of n outstanding boxing- card will fea ture two giants with plenty of ring know-how and a difference of opin ion to settle. Big Bill Mathis, who claims only a lucky punch prevented him from racking up a kayo over Joltln' Jimmy Byrne In their last meeting In a recent Portland main event, will attempt to sustantlate his claim In tonight's headliner of the best boxing card ever lined up in the Armory ring. Byrne, on the other hand, doesn't think that the punch was lucky and will be gunning for his second straight knockout In two tries against the big San Francisco Negro, who will scale In for the ficht around the 330-235 pound mark when both heavyweights en ter the ring. Both fighters own outstanding ting records, and have fought sev eral big names in the ring record books. i Byrne, of course, will have to be given the nod In tonight's scrap, because of his win over the giant colored lad from the Bay Area In their Portland fight. Mathis could very well end the fight in short manner with his heavily loaded fists, and both he and his opponent realize that fact, so the battle should be marked with lots of hard blows and some sharp defensive work. In Byrne's two other fights in the local ring he posted quick two round knockouts over both oppo nents, and made a hit with local fans even though they would like to have seen the fight go a longer distance than It did. The Portland belting heavy weight, also was a little displeased In the fact because he wanted to make a hit with tne local ngnt fans, but when he hit his ring ad visaries they wouldn't be around very long to fight back. Mathis is a very tough fighter, and is known to come in swing ing everything except the kitchen sink. The huge Californian has a tremendous left hook, as does Byrne, and will attempt to show the gallery and ringside fans just what be can do with the potential power in his pet punch tonight. In the semhvlndup, Al Moore, the clowning sensation of the last Byrne fight, will be unable to fight in tonights card, because of injuries suffered in a fight Wednesday nieht. - Ralph Welser will probably meet a substitute m tne six-rouna semi, la one of two special six round' en that Promoter Mack Lillard has signed for tonight's supporting card, rough and tough Darrell Harrington will get a stiff test in another battle that has been in the making, when he meets Eddie Brown. Brown and Harrington have met before with the fight ending in a draw after Harrington was nearly knocked out by the Beatty Bat tler. Brown was very disgusted when the Judges gave the draw . decision, and will be out tonight to settle the argument once and for all. Rudy Carlson and Bobby Bar ney will get the other six round special spotlight when the two pugilists meet in a prover for lit tle Barney. Barney, the Sprague River knockout artist, has posted two straight knockouts over his oppo nents in the local ring and Carl son will prove to many that Bar ney will have to work to deck him. In the four round opener, Billy Sunday returns to the Armory to meet another Bay Area fghter in Buddy Clearwater. Clearwater is known throughout the Frisco boxing circles as a top prelim fighter, and should give Bunday a good battle for top spot alter the Judges' votes are de cided. The first bout will get underway at 8:30 and the remainder of the program will follow. Doors will open at 7:30 and tickets will be placed on sale then. Argentine Fighter In St. Nick Bout NEW YORK 1 The south of the border boys take over the fights Friday night with Eduardo Lausse of ttie Argentine and Chico Varona of Havana meeting in a 10-round match at St. Nicholas 1, Arena. The bout will be carried on network radio and television. -Tit m I'm WITH THE HELP OF A FIRE PLUG, Eva Morey, employe of the Herald and News, fan talk on the same terms with the two big giants, that ere the featured tighten in tonight's main event of the Armory boxing card.

The Owls and Vikings were all tied up going into the sixth inn ing when the PCS team scored four runs off two Owl pitchers to sew up the win. Big Ray carrow walked two men and hit another to fill the bases.

CLAYTON MANNON, Sport fditot Mustangs Win County B Meet Malta won the Klamath County B track and field meet at Modoc Field yesterday afternoon by posting 70' j points to second place Merrill's 46' i points. Henley, a county A-2 school was also entered In the meet and won Portland Protests LA Win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The methods of winning a ball game are various and sundry, but Manager Clay Hopper of Portland may have dug up a new one. Los Angeles beat Hopper's Port land team Thursday night, 4-2, but the hawk-eyed Hopper saw an in eligible Los Angeles player active in the bullpen and entered his pro test. John Pramesa, former Chicago Cub catcher, was warming up Al Evans, also a catcher, who went in the game for Hal Meek in the seventh Inning. Meek sustained a spilt finger. It is up to president Clarence Rowland of the Pacific Coajt League to interpret the rule, which says players on the disabled list must remain out of play at least 10 days. Bill Sweeney, manager of Los Angeles, predicted after the game that Hopper would not be sustained in the protest. Los Angeles won the game, tem porarily at least, by scoring four runs in the sixth on two bunts that went for hits: two walks, a single by the ever-singling Max West, who came up again as a pinch hitter, and a long sacrifice fly by Dixie Upright. Bob Alex ander, young right hander, had al lowed only two hits up to that point. West has hit six times in 11 tries in clutch situations. Ed Basinskl. former violinist in the Buffalo symphony orchestra, made the fielding play of the game. The Portland second base man robbed Bud Hardin of a hit in the fourth by diving at his slz. zler with catlike agility, spinning around for a recovery throw that nipped the speeding Hardin. It was one of those impossible stops that Basinski comes up with now and then. Oakland was forced to share the top spot because of its loss to Se attle, 7-4 in a game marked by 19 hits and eight pitchers In ac tion. Vern Klndsfather wound up the winner, although Gene Bear den and Van Fletcher came to his aid in the ninth. The winning blow was delivered by George Schmees, a home run. in the eighth Inning. Marino Pierettl pitched Sacra mento to a ft-1 decision over San Francisco. The little right hander Is unbeaten and has won five straight. The win catapulted the Sacs into a first place tie with Oakland. Hollywood's ace right hander, Mel Queen, won his sixth straight victory as he pitched a 2-1 deci sion over San Diego.
