6 The News-Review, Roieburg, Or. Tues., May 10, 1949 Voile, Orrock latched For Friday's Card Offers Plenty Of Fast Action Pappas, DeLeon Slated For Semi-Final; Collie, Elexman Again Billed By DAN MINDOLOVICH Promoters Ernie Nazelrod and Sanday Sanders have scheduled for local fight fans another star studded card to top-echelon fistic performers at the Roseburg Arm ory f'rlday. May 13. Headlining the bill in a 10- round middleweight performance will be bobby voik, ortiana, and Sonny Orrock, bpokane, Douglas County boxing enthusi asts have been pestering the pro moters for a duel between the two ever since the lads made their initial appearance here on different events. Local ringbirds want to see Voik take some of the cockiness out of Spokane's Orrock. Or rock has humiliated several per formers locally with his fancy footwork and apparent, disregard for their ability to hit. If any. one can humble Orrock, Volk's the man who should do It. An almost equally excellent show will be the semi-final bout, scheduled to go six rounds. Billy Pappas returns here after taking a k. o. from Voik In a previous engagement at the Armory. The Salt Lake City Week will op pose Ponce DeLeon, Aberdeen, Wash., boxer. DeLeon has re peatedly hit the print for past performances and this semi windup go should be no excep tion. Collie Vs. Elexman Bloodthirsty pugilistic patrons will not have to wait until the semi-final or final event before seeing some stiff action and colorful clashing of leather-cased mitts. Sonny Elexman, Spokane and Dick Collie, Winchester, have been signed for a return battle on the Friday night card. On the last card, the boys went at It for four rounds that drew much acclaim from the cash cus tomers. Collie was voted the out standing preliminary boxer of that card, while the Elexman-Col-lle fracas was listed by fans as the outstanding preliminary per formance of the evening. When Elexman, the boxer, clashes with Collie, the slugger, a real live match can be antici pated. Starting the evening action will be Lyle Wescott, Roseburg Natlonai guardsman, and Pete Greco, Spokane. Wescott has suffered some setbacks In previ ous encounters here, but the rug ged guardsman can take It and he is ready for more action. Greco drew with Lloyd Smith here two weeks ago; Smith, in turn TKOd Wescott.

Rot Giants Win 7 Straight To Top Nationals Boston Braves Replace Dodgers In Second Spot; Tigers Defeat Yankees By JOE REICHLER (AlBoclated Pres Sports Wrlterl One swallow doesn't make a spring and one week doesn't make a season. But during the past days the New York Giants have been as near perfect as a base ball ciub can be. Here are some of the amaz ing feats accomplished by Leo Durocher's men the team ex perts predicted would wind up an also-ran because the pitchers would give away more runs than the hitters could manufacture; Including last night's handy 7-2 triumph over the Chicago Cubs, the Giants have won their last seven starts to take a game and a half lead in the National League race. During the stretch, Giant pitch ers have gone the route in all but one game. And In that one, Shel don Jones, who went all the way last night, was removed for a pinch hitter after allowing only one earned run in eight Innings. In six of the Giants' last seven games, Durocher has used the minimum nine men throughout. Only a pinch hitter and a two inning relief job by Hank Behr man last Thursday marred a per fect week. The club has used a four-man rotating system on the mound throughout the season Clint Hartung, Larry Jansen, Monte Kennedy and Jones. No other pitcher has started a game. This big four has allowed only 14 runs in the last seven games. While holding the opposition to two runs per game, the Giants pounded enemy hurlers for 48 during Ihe week. Last night's homer hitters were Gordon (No. 7) and Mar shall (No. 3). Rigney was the big gun, however. He collected a single and double and drove In three runs. Dodgers Drop to Third Vern Bickford pitched the Bos ton Braves into second place, a game and a half behind the Gi ants, with a three-hit 4-1 triumph over the Pirates. The SI. Louis Cardinals snap ped a three-game losing streak by thrashing the Brooklyn Dodg ers, 14-5, to move out of the cel lar. The loss dropped the Dodgers into third place. A pair of rookies Eddie Kazak and Tommy Glavlano sparked the Redbirds 15-hit attack against six Dodger hurlers. Kazak, the league's leading batter, rapped out a single and grand slam home run to drive in five runs. Glavlano drove in four mates with a single- double and homer. The American League-leading Now York Yankees, who have been surging through the West in old championship style, re ceived a surprising 4-1 setback by the Tigers In Detroit. Ted Grav limited the Bronx Bombers to five hits to outpltch Vic Ras chl. All other American League teams enjoved a day off. The scheduled night game between Cincinnati and the Phils in Phila delphia was postponed by rain.

Low Hitters Of 1948 Now First Ten In National NEW YORK, May 10 (JP) The top ten hitters of the Na tional League presented a strange sight today. With the exception of short stop Alvin Dark of the Boston Braves and not counting rookie Eddie Kazak of the St. Louis Cardinals, none of the group fin ished in the charmed .300 circle last year. Kazak, the infielder with the plastic elbow on his throwing arm, is the batting surprise of the league, through games of Sunday, May 8, he topped the cir cuit with a .389 batting average. He cracked out 21 hits in 54 times at bat. That does not In clude the grand slam homer he hit on Brooklyn yesterday. Harry Walker, 1947 batting champ who hit only .292 last season, is runner-up to Kazak with .377. The Chicago Cub out. fielder is followed by Pitts burgh's Ralph Kiner and Brook lyn's Roy Campanella.
