CINCINNATI, May 24 (F)
There's an old maxim that a
steady drop of water will wear
away the hardest stone.
And a Maxim proved that old
maxim last nlRht. Joe Maxim of
Cleveland parlayed robust youth
and the drop of water a flicking
left hand Into the NBA light
heavyweight championship of
America.
Joey, one of the lightest hitters
!n the business, used his rapier
like left to spear a decision in 15
rounds over 34-year-old Gus Les
nevich of Cliffside, N. J., who last
July 26 lost his world's title to
Freddie Mills in England.
Only 6,931 fans braved the rain
to pay a gross gate of $56,151.50,
and a net of $40,429.08. That left
Promoter Sam Becker some $45,
000 in the hole, after paying the
lighters and other expenses.
Lesnevich went out like a cham
pion. He was unmarked, except
lor a slight bruise beside his left
eye. He said he had no alibi, and
that he lost because he couldn't
keep his face away from Maxim's
lllcking left.
Lesnevich swarmed all over
Maxim to take the last round by
a country mile. But he had
dropped the six right ahead of it
as his 34-year-old legs failed to
keep up with his lighting heart.
Maxim, also unmarked, said he
was stunned a couple of times by
Lesnevich's winging rights In the
early rounds, but that the
f lunches which really hurt were
efts to his midsection.
Becker said the lighters had
agreed to a rematch this summer
in case Lesnevich lost, and that a
meeting on that angle would be
held today.

Friday's Bill
Spider Renaud Battles
Wescott In One Prelim;
Bennett Is Shaping Up
By DAN MINDOLOVICH
Requests by Douglas Countv
fight fans to bill Spider Renaud
on a Roseburg fight card prompt
ed Promoters Ernie Nazelrod and
Sandy Sanders to sign the Port
land tignter against Lyle Wes
cott, Rosebur? National Guards
man, in a four-round preliminary
at the Roseburg Armory Friday
nignt, isazelrod announced today.
Fans who saw Renaud fight in
Portland had nothing but praise
for him and they just naturally
figured other boxing spectators
would enjoy him, too. Reportedly.
Renaud has a clever style that is
hard to figure out. This feature,
plus plenty of hard, dynamic
punching, puts the Portland
gladiator in a class of lighters
that guarantees top ring perform
ance, Nazelrod indicated.
Dick Collie will figure In the
other four-rounder. A suitable op
ponent is in the process of being
procured for Douglas County s
pile-driving puncher from Win
chester. A grim contest Is anticipated in
the eight-round battle between Al
"Pinky" Cowan and Mickey Gim
mell. Both lighters are well
known here as de luxe crowd
pleasers. This is another battle
between a boxer and a slugger,
with Glmmell favoring the point
system, while Cowan likes to win
his battles via the knockout road.
Orrock Vs. Bennett
The other half of the double
main-event brings together
riancin', prancln' Sonny Orrock
of Spokane, and Deputy Sheriff
Dallas Bennett of Douglas Coun
ty. Orrock has shown more con
tempt than respect for previous
opponents engaged here, but he
plans to play it straight and seri
ously on the coming card.
itemizing Bennett Is no cub at
the fight game, Orrock will dis
pense with the clowning and t"t
down to business in a hurry. Ben
nett, wno accepted Urrook s chal
lenge to battle with gloves, is
presently working off poundage
and shaping up at the Armory
raining sianie.
No Substitutions
The card is unique In that no
fighter has ever fought his op
ponent either locally or in other
rings. Promoter Nazelrod said
program changes will be avoided
Ibis weekend as all fighters are
being held to a contract. Dis
ciplinary action will be taken by
the Boxing Commission in the
event any lighter fails to appear
hairing legitimate excuses,
such as illness.
Tickets are currently available
at Wally's, J-V Sporting Goods

Undoubtedly two of the great

home runs and runs hatted in.
Henrich, whose nine-year batting
average is only .282, gets most
of hits when they count. He's
hitting .320 now, is second in
home runs and up among the
leaders in runs batted in.
Each has been responsible for
a half a dozen victories lor his
club. Stephens has 11 home runs
antl four cf them broke up ball
games. Henrich has eight round
trippers and half of those de
cided games. Three times this
year Stephens batted In live runs
in a game.
Both Stephens and Henrich hit
homers yesterday to help their
learns win. Vei n cracked his lit h

Chiefs Dated
Tonight Yith
Reedsport
Richardson Gets Nod For
Mound Duty; Crescents
Scheduled Here Sunday
Tonight at Finlay Field, the
Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs face
Reedsport In a non-league base
ball contest. Wally Richardson,
with two wins and no losses to
his credit, is scheduled to hurl
the nine-inning affair, accord
ing to Manager Earl Sargent.
Game time is 8 o'clock.
The Chiefs are enjoying an
early season winning streak,
having beaten live out of six
teams, including two league op
ponents. The addition of Bill Schemer
to the local squad is expected
to enhance Roseburg's prospects
considerably. In the Prospect ac
tion Sunday, the diminutive right
fielder hit three lor live times
a good average in anybody's
ball game.
Other recent additions, includ
ing Pitcher Claude Buckley from
Oregon Normal at Monmouth and
Barney Koch, now coaching at
Tigard, should make the Chiefs
a baseball powerhouse with which
to be reckoned in Southern Ore
gon League play.
Crescents Here Sunday
Sunday, the Chiefs entertain
Crescent City on the local base
ball diamond. Buckley is tenta
tively scheduled to pitch the con
test for Roseburg and Koch may
get away from Tigard to take
over sgcond base lor the Chiefs.
A Memorial Day classic has
been lined up and the Medford
Craters are the opponents, Man
ager Sargent said. Although the
Craters are members of the
Southern Oregon League, the
contest will be of non-league
status. Sargent said the two
clubs will play a separate series
that will not figure in the League
standings.
Sargent also indicated a game
may be played Thursday of this
week, provided a suitable op
ponent can be lined up. He in
dicated it is difficult to arrange
non-league affairs too far in
advance and for this reason it
is sometimes impossible to de
termine who the opponent will
be until a day or so before the
g'-ime is scheduled.
