The opening round of the inter- city bowling matches here last night between Juneau and Ketchikan Elks alleymen and women saw the invading First City male rollers take off to a good start on the way to repeat their recent triumph on their home maple
 The Ketchikan lodgemen opened the return encounter by grabbing a 76 pin lead oyer the Juneau hosts. In tte ladies end of last nights rolling, however, the home towners more than held their own. completing the beginning bout 3l pins in front Gladys Waugh was the pace-setter for the local ladies.
 Jack Maloca, with a 248 line, and Cert Howard were the spsarheads of a windup flare by the Ketchi- kan men last night that carried them to a terrific 985 3rd game total and over-rode small edges plucked by the locals in the first two games.

Salaries soaring

Najcr League baseball salaries in the postwar era, starting this year, promise generally to reach lofty heights although Babe Ruth's re- cord $S0,00O stipend in l93o and '31 seems safe-at least for a few more years.
 In sharp contrast to the days when iron man Ed Walsh was re- fuced a $500 raise after receiving S2,500 for winning 40 games for the Chicago White Sox in 1908, an Associated Press survey showed that at least IS big league perform CTS probably will be paid 1e46 sal aries ranging from S55,OO0 down to s2oO00
 Heading this group is Hank Greenberg, the former Army air force captain. now back with the Detroit Tigers, who was paid at the rate of $55,O00 for his half season work last year, and has been offered the same cantract this year.
 Others reported in this higher bracket include Joe DiAdaggio, New York Yankees, s42,50o; Bob Teller, Clevelsnd, s4O,ooO; Mel Ott, New York Giants, $35,0Oo; Joe Cronin and Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox; Lou Boudreau, and Dick Wakefield. Tigers, each $25,000; Dixie Walker, Brooklyn, S22,0O0; and Hal New ho1ser, Tigers; Hank Borowy, Chi cago Cubs, Red Ruffing, Spud Chandler, Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon Yansees, each $20,000.
 Of these, Ott, Cronin and Bou- dreau are playing managers, al though Crollin may be confined to a pinch hitting role this year Other pilots, non-active, past the 20-grand figure include Joe Mo Carthy, Yankees; Connie Mack Philadelphia Athletics; Leo Dur ccher, Dodgers, Billy Southworth, Boston Braves and Bill McKechnie, Cincinnati
 Feller's $4o,000 for '46 is the highest sum ever paid to pitcher for one years work, surpassing the salaries commanded by Buck New som, Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, Lefty Gomez, Dazzy Vance, Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell at the height of their careers. Newsom was paid $35,0o0 for 1941 Grove got S3e.0O0 in 1882. Johnson reach ed the $25,000 mark in 1885 after 19 years of valiant toiling for the Washington's Senators.

LESNEvICH GETS
 FANCY OFFER 10
 MEET Y0UNGSTER
Belfing Young Negro, Billy Fox, Cleared in Phil
 lY Fold-Up
BY s1p FEEDER

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-Light- heavyweight champion Gus Lesne- vich was considering seriously to- day a fancy financial offer to de- fend his crown against Betting Billy Fox, while the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission accused Billys 37th-and latest-straight knockout victim of quitting cold'' to the young kayo specialist.
 The offer of a flat $3000O for Gus if he turns back Fox's chal- lenge and $50,00O if Billy should take the bauble away from him was made last night after Billy flat tened the veteran Nate Bolden in 49 seconds of the second round of what started out as a ten-round bcut.
 Lesnevich's manager, little Joe Vella, said he was paying attention to the bid for a title tussle, in Convention Hall here in April, simply because The way that guy punches, it may be lest if we take him on now instead of waiting un- til he learns too much about box ing" The offer was made by Blinky Palermo, Fox's manager, and matchmaker Pete Moran.
 Meantime, State Commission Chairman Lecn Rains leyelled the quitting charge at Bolden for the manner in which he climbed on his bicycle through the first round last night, although bloodying Billys nose with flicking jabs, and bow ed out in the second after being hit with a right hand high on the head, a considerable distance from the usually vulnerable areas around the chin. Bolden, himself, said left hcok to the tummy, just be- fore the right, hurt him so badly he had to go down Fox weighed ITO; Bolden 175 1-2.
 Rains wanted it clearly under stood that he had no criticism of Bills performance, and he turned up on the 20-year old negro's dressing room to congratulate him for the way he Hailed the Caica- goan-and make no mistake about it, the youngster who came to Philadelphia from Richmond, Va, back in 1944 can really flail in the approved manner.
