The Beavers finished a successful
week by trouncing the Senators rs
and 11-2. In the opener, a Beaver

ing four runs, settled the issue.
The second game was never in
doubt, with the Portlanders slam
13 hits and pointing their attack in
mid game when they scored all their
runs.
Willie Ludolph, veteran of the
Oakland pitching staff, hurled the
club to an 11-3 win in the opener
against Seattle.

NEW PRACTICE
INTRODUCED IN
AMATEUR BOUTS

Initiating a new practice in I'm
perial Valley amateur boxing, Off
cials directing bouts for next Friday
evening at the City Limits arena
will wait until the last minute be-
fore opponents in the main events
will be decided
-Four prominent middleweights,
including Herman Graves, sensa-
tional Ell Centre Negro fighter, and
Jack Morrissette, will be on hand
Friday evening. Their opponents
will be chosen by drawing numbers
from a hat.
The other two fighters probably
will be Ray Vargas, who made an
impressive showing last week in de-
feating Pablo Espudo, and the pres
ent middleweight champion of the
Coast Marine Corps.
The Setup offers untold possibil-
tiles. Graves and Morrissette need
no build up and Vargas already has
proved himself a formidable con
tender with his performance last
week. The marine champions title
is enough to warrant him a place
in the stellar four and if he lives
up to expectations he will give his
opponent a fancy lesson in boxing
and slugging.
Officials promise a strong card in
the other bouts. Fighters will be
announced later.

When dusk fell over Reich sport

bright blue eyes were ready for a
healing beefsteak, and his peaches

The most damaging clubs to
bounce off Brother Nordic's noggin
were welded by a pair of Ameri-

but the Americans. AS soon as
he greeted the Firms, who scored
in the 10000 meter event, Hitler
left the stadium and Immediately
a buzz of excitement ran through
the crowd of 10000 because john
sen already had won the high
jump and it was obvious the other
two Americans were going to take
second and third.
Hitler had been in the stadium
four hours. The high jump was
