Heavy Battle
Set Sent. 24
(Continued from preceding page)
Although Marciano and LaStarza
are noted for their quiet, gentle
manly demeanor, the fight is one
which might develop considerable
rancor before it comes off. It's a
rematch of one of the most con
troversial bouts in the careers of
both boxers. ,
iney rnei m mauisun oquBie
Garden in March. 19501
Both were unbeaten at the time.
On that occasion LaStarza was
floored but got up and boxed rings
about his rival but Rocky got a
split decision.
; Since then LaStarza and his
manager, Jimmy DeAngelo, have
loudly demanded the return match
they said had been promised them
and Al Weill, Marciano's rotund
pilot, kept side-stepping until a
few months ago.
Weill finally consented to accept
LaStarza after the New Yorker
had turned down the National Box
ing Association proposal, that be
and ex-champion Ezzard Charles
should fight an elimination.
'Since he won the championship
from Walcott by a 13th-round
knockout in Philadelphia. Sept. 23.
1953, f Marciano has defended it
once. He knocked out Walcott in
Chicago, May 15, in the first
round. The champion is 29.
I LaStarza hasn't had a fight
then regarded as an important
title contender, last February.

From Publinx Tourney
By JACK- HE WINS
SEATTLE in A vounz strip
of human rawhide from Texas 19-year-old
Hal McCommas of Dal
las knocked defending champion
Pete Bogan of Montebello, Calif.,
out of the National Public Links
Golf Tournament Wednesday by a
score of 3 and 2.
A freshman at Southern Metho
dist University, McCommas was
unruffled at the prospect of meet
ing the champ, saying "I got as
many clubs in my bag as he has."
It was Bogan who had the jit
ters, scrambling, badly from tee to
green, and he was five down when
they turned the nine-hole corner.
All he could do from there was
prolong the match to the 16th hole.
Two ex-champions also fell by
the wayside in Wednesday's dou
ble round. Stanley Bielat of Yon-
kers, N.Y., 1950 titlist, was bowled
over in the morning 18 holes by
Dan Sikes of Jacksonville, Fla., 4
and 3. The 1951 champ, Dave Stan
ley of Los Angeles, won his morn
ing match but was trimmed by
Harold Haddock of Denver in the
afternoon, 1 up in 22 holes.
Andy Szwedko of Pittsburgh was
the only title bearer still in the
running after Wednesday's match
es. Like Bogan, he was scramb
ling, but managed to squeeze out
a 1 up decision over Charles Ma
kaiwa of Honolulu in the afternoon
after nudging Bill Bender, Mama
roneck, N.Y., 2 and 1 in the morn
ing. Sikes bumped head on into the
hottest round yet posted and bowed
out to Bill Burns of Kirkland,
Suspension Still
Sticks on Bragan
PORTLAND Oft Bobby Bragan,
Hollywood Stars' manager, sat in
the stands again Wednesday night,
still under indefinite suspension.
His team is playing a series
against Portland.
Bragan said he had not heard
from league headquarters on when
the suspension would be lifted.
Earlier he said he had hoped to
hear tonight that the suspension
would be lifted after three days,
reinstating him in time for the
series opening at Seattle Friday.
Bragan was suspended Tuesday
for throwing some of his clothes
and catching equipment from the
dugout at Hollywood last Saturday
in protest against an umpire's
decision.

Salem's first midget auto rac

reality.
: Rather than race the Ford-powered
cars against the Offenhaus

install two separate programs
entirely, one for the Fords and
the other for the Offies.
: Fords will compete in their
own 'Trophy dash, two heat races
and 30-lap main event Offies
will also fire away in Trophy dash
of their own, two heat races and
30-lap mainer.
Lou Sherman, president of the
Oregon Midget Auto Racing As

have from 25 to 28 cars here for
the program, including those
driven by the top pointsmen.
Shorty Templeman, Gordy Young
strom, Len Sutton and Bob Gregg
in Offenhausers, and Gordy Liv

lE PARADE?
Legions Take
First Defeat
The Legion 136 entry suffered
its first defeat of the Junior C
League campaign Wednesday
evening at Barrick Field as
Jackson's Jewelers nailed an 8-4
decision. The outcome left West
Salem Lions on top with a 2-0
mark. Another Wednesday
game saw Four Corners sock
Steinke's Repair 14-8, with the
help of eight enemy errors.
Chuck Chapelle hurled the win
for Jackson's giving six bits in
the five innings. The Jewelers
scored five times in the second
inning for all the margin they
actually needed. Big blow of the
frame was Bill Gentzkow's three
run double. Dave SeRine was the
big stick man for the Legions as
he knocked in all four of his
team's runs with a double and
two singles.
Steinke's tallied all its einht
runs in the second for a tempor
ary lead over Four Corners, but
the boys from the east suburb
sewed it up with a six-run blast
in the fourth. Darwin Harms, got
credit oi tbe pitching win in a
relief role and also led his team's
attack with two doubles and a
pair of singles good for two
runs. Leon Cartier and Bill Lang
a iso got two Km s for Four Cor
ners. The eight-run Steinke in
ning came on four walks, five
hits and two errors. Catcher Ron

Roberts Ahead
Of Torrid '52
a- . -
Pitching Pace
NEW YORK (A Robin Roberts,
the Philadelphia Phillies' fabulous
righthander, is ahead of the pace
that brought him a blazing 28-7
pitching record last year.
At the nominal halfway point in
the major league season the
pause for the All-Star game
Roberts has a three-game jump
on his mark with 14 victories and
6 defeats compared to 11 triumphs
and 6 losses at the same tune in
1952.
Not since Hal Newhouser's 29
victories for the Detroit Tigers in
1944 had any major league pitcher
won as many as 28 games until
Roberts did last year. Now he s
threatening to better that headline
performance.
What's happening to the other 20
game winners of last year?
Five others, all American Leagu
ers, made the select circle early
Wynn (23-12). Bob Lemon (22-11)
and Mike Garcia (22-11), all of
Cleveland. Allie Reynolds (20-8) of
New York Yankees and Bobby
Shantz (24-7) of Philadelphia.
Cleveland's big three is on ap
proximately the same timetable it
followed last year. Garcia, current
ly 10-6. was 11-6 at this time a year
ago. Wynn is 9-6 compared to 9-7.
But Lemon, who finished fast last
season, stands 11-8 as against a
mediocre 7-7 a year ago.
Reynolds Lags
Reynolds, who has run into trou
ble as a starter but who has seen
yeoman duty as a reliefer so far
this year, has won 8 and 'lost 5
to datej last year he bad a 10-4
record.
Hard-luck Shantz, who has in
jured and re-injured his pitching
arm this year, has a meager 3-6
showing compared to a sensational
14-3 a year ago when he was the
league's most valuable player.
Bobby, incidentally, was the only
lefty among last year's 20-game
winners.
However, among the 1953 group
who so far threaten to crash into
the 20-game bracket there is a
quartet of bard-working portsiders.
In the American League Mel
Parnell, apparently on the way to
his best season since he delivered
25 victories for the Boston Red Sox
in 1949, has a 12-5 record at the
midway point. Billy Pierce of the
rampaging Chicago White Sox is
10-5 at the moment.
Warren Spahn of Milwaukee (11-
3) and Harvey Haddix (10-3) of the
St. Louis Cardinals are the leading
National League contenders from
the lefty contingent.
Haddix teammate Gerry Staley,
with a 12-4 record, is potentially
the best bet for 20 games after
another look at the righthanders.
Webb Thinks
Move Needed
(Continued from preceding page)
Webb, who insisted the . opinion
was strictly his own and not the
league's, declined to pass his judg
ment on the stability of the Pacific
Coast League but Clarence Row
land, president of the PCL, ad
mitted attendance had fallen off
exactly 200,000 this year.
"Our league is determined to be
come major," he said. "We're in
this thing all together and we
don't intend to let anyone come in
and take our two best cities away
from us without a fight It took the
American league several years to
settle down and gain major status.
Why not give us the same chance?"
At Sunday's meeting, the own
ers discussed the sad St. Louis sit
uation for the better part of two
hours and agreed that "something
roust be done about it."
i"There is no longer any ques
tion about it," said Webb, "the
plight of the Browns has now be
come the plight of the American
League. Something must be done
about it and real soon, too."

Honeybees are lending a help

Research scientists with the Ag

Texas A. and M. College, watched
11 bees for 99.7 minutes.
They visited 1,349 crimson clo

from arrival at the field until it

Growers find that bees in quan
