Ex-Iighi Heavy Champ Picks Moore to Win GROSSINGER, N.Y. ilfi For mer fighters generally are among the worst pickers of fights but that never stops them from going on the limb. Former light heavyweight qham pion Bob Olin is no exception. After watching Rocky Marciano work out Sunday, Olin predicted that he would lose his heavyweight title to light heavyweight king Archie Moore at Yankee Stadium, Sept 20. - Albany W By DON HARGER Our guest Columnist "Deek" who was supposed to have helped us out on this deal is not on friendly terms with any of the human race and refuses to have anything to do with a man made type writer. So, well have to toss in our grumbles on the licensed field trial. ' Deek, along with Marian's Paddy, owned by W. E. "Dick" Noll of Salem, fell to a disqualifi cation early in vhe derby stake. Although Park Thede's young dog Jack finished his series he did not get a call back. To start the derby stake the judges called for a land test that was designed to eliminate dogs from the long string of 45 entries. They called for a double land retrieve, down wind. The! cover was light but the long bird with a wind behind it fell well over 100 yards out The short bird with a wind behind it fell about 75 yards to the left. This apparently was a good test to determine a dog's hunting ability. However, if a dog should happen to hunt a bit short or over-run his bird and took in excess of 60 seconds to find it, he was called off. Tough on the Younger Dogs To add insult to injury the derby dogs were called upon to honor the following dog and his work. This honoring is tough on a young derby dog. It is bard enough to keep a young, eager dog steady on the line without having him sit and watch another dog do the job. Anyway, the first test accomplished its purpose. Twenty-six dogs were disqualified. It would have been easier on every one Involved to just reach in a hat and pull out twenyt-six names and toss them away. The second series proved nothing as far as we could see, after the first one. The remaining dogs had a iong single retrieve on land. After that they finished off in the water with a double retrieve on shackled ducks. So there goes our first licensed trial phfffft Winners of all three stakes will be announced later. , One of the major changes ia the 1955 waterfowl regulations has t do with the shooting hours an opening day. Ia past, seasons the shooting !egaa at noon. This year hunters will be allowed to begin their flanging one-half hour before sunrise. Opening IDotes Rate Approval We were pleased to note, also, that the hunting dates for open ing of waterfowl and pheasants are the same. We feel that both seasons opening on the same day will not only scatter the hunters more but will not tend to-drive the pheasants into cover as it did last year before upland bird season opened. We erred some time ago in stating in this column that no maps were available for the special elk and deer areas. Maps are avail able but are" mailed only to those parties who were fortunate enough to get a permit for a particular rrea. Obviously a map would do no hunter any good if he could not hunt the area.' Our humble apologies to the game ) started far into the night. Jack Dunn's third double of the game, followed by Mel Krause'i single won the game for the Sena tors after Gene Klinger had homer ed to tie the score at 13-13 in the seventh. Tri-City racked Bill Walsh for eight runs m the first two innings, including first-inning homers by Rich Bergen and Dwayne Helbig and a two-run triple by Rick Her ighCs second Salem Senators-Tri-City Braves game Kennewick was tied at 5-5 in the "xth inning, at midnight. iwauc ligurea m me rally.

Iff) Little Barbara' Romack, who sells insur ance in Sacramento, Calif., was aj slight favorite Sunday to make it two titles in a row as a field of 104 prepared to open play Monday in the U.S. Golf Assn.'s Women's; Amateur Tournament. i The week-long grind ends with j a 36-hole title match Saturday over : the toughened Myers Park Country1 Club course. The 6,413-yard layout has a 37-3774 women's par. The field includes four former holders of the title and most of the nation's top stars still in the , amateur ranks. In addition there's a good sprinkling of foreign play ers, at least two of whom could win. Although Miss Romack is de- i fending champion, was recently runnerup in the British Amateur, and is, by her own admission, play- ing some of the best golf of her career, she does not stand far above the field. Two girls rank as definite con tenders. They are Margaret (Wif fi) Smith of St. Clair, Mich., and Pat Lesser of Seattle, Wash. Miss Smith Rockets Miss Smith, a very long player and a young girl who rocketed to stardom "in recent months, is the present North and South Amateur champ and recently won the wo- : men's amateur division of the AH I American and "World" Champion- ships at Chicago. Miss Lesser came here, hot off a victory in the prestige-laden Wo-j men's Western Golf Assn. Cham pionship. She is a former National Intercollegiate champion and was runnerup to Miss Smith in the North and South last spring. Miss Lesser has met and defeat ed Miss Romack four times. Miss Romack holds three wins in four meetings with Miss Smith, who in turn has defeated Miss Lesser three times in three matches. There are others, including the former titleholders, who will be in the thick of the fight. Wonder girl Marlene Stewart of Fonthill, Cana da, the 21-year-old Canadian Ama teur champion and former British Amateur titlist, is a definite threat.
