Ortiz Loses Crown JOHANNESBURGH, South Afri ca, June 1 ( Manuel Orti7., the gritty little California Mexican, faced an uncertain future today while the ring world acclaimed a new bantamweight champion South Africa's Vic Toweel. Toweel, a 23-year-old former wood carver, wrested the crown from Ortii with an undisputed 15 round decision last night in Johan nesburg's Wembley stadium. The finish presented a paradoxi cal picture. Toweel, the victor, was bleeding from over one eye and his nose. Ortiz, the vanquished, was unmarked. But even Ortis, a battle-weary ex-champion at 33, conceded he was a licked man. "Toweel'g a great fighter but his punch was not hard enough to hurt me," said the pride of 1 Centra, Calif. . Ortii' manager, Ray Luna, said there was "no doubt about the decision" aiJt added: "Toweel's a bit green but he was too good for Manny tonight. I have no plana yet about Manny's future." A bid to recapture the crown ap peared unlikely. The little Cali fornia warrior showed definite ef fects of his advancing age and his 12 years in the professional ring. Ortiz, weighing 116 pounds and 12 ounces to his foe's 117 pounds and one once, showed only flashes of his old punching prowess. He brought blood to Toweel's nose in the fourth round. He gave Taxicab Driver Fights Mao! Dog To Save Pupils ATLANTA, June 1 UP) A taxicab driver, father of five chil dren, wrestled with an apparent mad dog yesterday to save a group ol 8Z termied Kindergarten pupus. 11 Anw man ntith riAa rv ti i a i-tu.-n would have done exactly what I did," said 28-year-old Rick Parker, shrugging off his act of bravery. Parker spotted the dog, running wildly and foaming at the mouth, as he drove past the school. Classes were changing and the youngsters were on the grounds. The alert cab driver threw hi? car in reverse and put it betweeb I the mongrel dog and the children. He shouted at a patrolling police woman to get the children inside. Then the dog darted around the cab and Parker flung himself upon it. As the children watched from i windows, he wrestled the dog down Mhe street. A youth in the neigh borhood finally killed the dog with a rifle. Parker was bitten on one hand and was given an anti-rabies shot. The dog's head was taken to a laboratory for a rabies test. To the school kids, the air forces veteran was a personal hero. "Bet ter than in the comic books," said one. Oregon Taverns Must Observe Standard Time PORTLAND, June 1 OF) -All taverns and licensed clubs -must close on standard time starting June 12. 'the liquor control commission issued that order because some cities are on daylight time while their counties are on standard.
