NEW YOFtK.HJPI Rocky Marciano will begin test-training next week for a European tour that's ! expected to include some sparring exhibitions and possibly lead to a comeback, it was learned today. He'll fly to Europe late thi month. The 33 year old "Brockton blockbuster." who retired unde feated on April 27, 1956, has been issuing denials that he plans to return to the r'ng. u s True: ne won't come back if he can't get Into satisfactory condition. He now weighs 220 pounds, al most 32 more than his 188'4 when he last defended the world heavy weight crown on a ninth-round knockout over Archie Moore, Sept. 21. 1955. ' If he can pare down and get "sharp" again, there's a good chance he may challenge next June against the winner of the September return bout between champion Ingemar Johansson and cx-chamii Floyd Patterson. You see, ltocky's long contract with manager Al Weill expired on June 16, and he now can sign his own agreements or get a new manager or advisor. His advisor now is Vic Marsillo of Newark, N.J, , who resurrected Jersey Joe Waleott from the scrapheap but lost him before he became champion. ' When Rocky retired he had the only perfect record of any heavy champ in ring histury: 49 straight professional victories, including 43 knockouts. He was a terrific puncher, particularly with the riht hand. He was remarkably rugged. He hud unusual stamina and an effective bob weave style. Should he recapture the heavy weight title, he would be the first man to do it. Marsillo will accompany Rocky on his Euro'x'an (Mir, it was learned. Rocky and ex-champion Waleott. from whom he won the title in 1952. are slated for a spar ring exhibition at Rome in 'August. Their tour Is slated to include England, Denmark, Norway and 'Sweden. Just which countries will he visited first was not disclosed. There's a chance an early August exhibition with Waleott might be given at Goteborg, Sweden, with Johansson as referee. ' When Rocky returns from the tour, he's expected to decide whether to attempt a comeback. Promoter Bill Kosensolm said today: "If Johansson keeps the title in his September fight with Patterson. Rocky certainly would be a welcome addition to the con tenders' ranks. Of course, he would hava to prove himself to the public before making a title bid next year." YOUB CAREER IS HERE!

WO 3-2187 By United Press Into national . Sad Sam Jones missed pitching the second no-hitter of his career by the slender margin of one of those toothpicks he always chews approximately the same narrow margin that now separates the San Francisco Giants from first place in the National League. For 7 2-3 innings, Jones turned buck the Dodgers without a hit Tuesday night and had visions ol duplicating the no-hlt, no-run game he hurled against the Pi rates as u member of the Cubs on May. 12. 1955. But with two out in the eighth. Junior Gilliam wrecked those vi sions when he beat out an infield roller that was ruled a hit even though shortstoo Andre Rodgers had trouble finding the handle on the ball. That was the only Dodger hit of the game and the Giants won, 2-0, to move within a half-game of the first-place Braves, but Jones was far' from happy with the official scorer's ruling. With tears Streaming down his face after the game was over, Jones said bitterly, "as far as I'm concerned it was a no-hitter." Jones struck out 10 and walked two' in gaining his ninth victory against eight defeats. Loser Don Drysdale gave up nine of the Giants' 10 hits, including a two run homer by Willie Mays. A crowd of 59,312 saw the game in Los Angeles. Cincinnati topped Milwaukee, 8-5, Pittsburgh edged Philadelphia 4-3. and St. Louis defeated Chi cago, 4-1, in the other NL games. Cleveland increased its Ameri can League lead to two games with a 3-1 victory over Chicago, New York beat Baltimore, 4-1, De troit blanked Kansas City, 4-0, and Washington licked Boston, 6-1. Home runs by Gus Bell, Jerry Lunch and Vada Pinson carried the Reds to their victory over Lew Burdette of the Braves. Bell hit his homer with two on and Pinson with one on. Johnny Tem ple helped hang the sixth defeat of the season on Burdette with four of Ciny's 14 hits. Bob Purkey was the winner. Great Homer Beats Phils The Pirates won their game from the Phils when Dick Groat homered off loser Robin Roberts in the ninth to break a 3-3 tie. Southpaw Harvey Haddix gained his fifth victory against six losses although ace reliever Roy Face came into the game in the ninth and, squelcbcd a fjnal. Philadelphia threat. Gene Krcese homered for the Philas. ' ' ' ' Larry Jackson hurled a four hitter for the Cardinals as they moved to within a game of fifth place by their triumph over the Cubs. The Cards stole six bases and were aided by two Chicago errors. Highlight of the game was a long controversy that resulted when two baseballs somehow were in play during the third inning. Home runs by Vic Power and Rocky Colavito plus the fine four hit pitching of Cul MeLish paced the Indians to their win over the second-place White Sox. The Yankees finally beat Hoyl Wilhelm of the Orioles in moving to within a half game of third plare. They clinched the game with three runs in the third. Yogi Be ra singling home two of them. Frank Lary pitched a five-hitter and struck out seven Kansas City batters in hurling the second shut out by a Detroit pitcher this sea son. Pedro Ramos checked the Red Sox on six hits in pitching the Senators to their victory. Ramos now has won eight games, four against Boston.

Only two Portland runners reached as far as third against the 200-pound righthander. They were Huss Snyder in the seventh and Jim Greengrass in the eighth. It was Churn's sixth win of the year against only one los,s. It was the ninth shutout of the year for the Indian mound stalf. The game was scoreless until the fourth. Then Spokane scored when Don Domenichelli singled home Chuck Essegian. Steve Bilko followed two innings later with a solo home run and two more runs were scored in the seventh and eighth on a single by Bob Lillis and a double by Kuno Barragan. Churn allowed only one walk. George Brunei was the loser, his seventh. He worked six and two thirds innings. The Sacramento Solons have lost more games than they've won in the past month but they've man aged lo increase their Pacific Coast League lead. It's simply a case of a tight league where all the teams take turns beating each other while the Solons stay in first place on the strength of their fast start. A month ago, the Solons had won 13 more games than they had lost and held only a game and a half lead over second place San Diego. But now, having won only 12 more games than they have lost, the Sacs have a comfortable three and a half game bulge over sec ond place Vancouver.. Seattle Wins 4 5 The Solons got some typical help Tuesday night though they them selves didn't play. Last place Se attle dropped the Mounties 6-5 in 11 innings.

The bug limit was boosted to Jo fish a day, 60 in possession, at Beaulah reservoir north of Jun. tura: Warm Springs reservoir north of Ontario, and Chickahorn iny reservoir west of Burns. The commission said the Beulah reservoir was expected to go dry by Sept. 15; Warms springs is ex pected to be down to a looo-acre puddle in which only the large mouth bass will huve a chance to survive: 'und Chickahominy may let too low and too warm to sus tain fish. The commission said the water shortage is due to a drouth in southeast Oregon plus needs of irrigationists and ranchers. Bag limit on McKay reservoir near Pendleton also was boosted to 30 a day, 60 in possession. The reservoir will be treated chemi cally this fall. HEY!
