As they hurried through the routine of passports, medical ex aminations and amateur oaths, discussion in official quarters cen tered on the surprising Ohio State sophomore who scored a douple in the Olympic track try outs last week-end in the 800 and 400 meter runs. ' "He well could be the surprise of the Olympic Games," predicted Veteran Tiack Coach Dean Crom well. Spirits were high as representa tives of 17 varied sports teams i prepared to take off for the first post-war Olympiad, to be staged ' July 29 through August 14. The entire Olympic project is expected to cost around half a million dollars and the executive committee announced this outlay has not been fully underwritten. : The committee said it still needed $80,000. ' George M. Traulman, president of the National Association of Minor Leagues, disclosed Monday night that the baseball leagues had contributed $10,000 to help pay the expenses. ' The Olympic headquarters gave a breakdown on the number going in each sport (athletes and offi cials listed in that order), which included: Soccer 15-3; boxing 16-4; bas ketball 14.3; cycling 10-2; fencing ?0-4; rowing 31-6; Held hockey 16-0; gymnastics 16-5; men's swimming 21-3; women's track 8-2; women's swimming 11-3; men s track 65-9; wrestling 16-2, and yachting 16-0. ; Junction City Wins Lane-Douglas Honors Hr -ft J STAN MUSIAL Hops Two-Run Homer See Column 1 SPORTSMAN PARK, St. Louis, July 13 Stan Musial hit a two-run first-inning homer for the National League All Stars here Tuesday afternoon, but the American Leaguers consistently came back to lead the Nationals, 5-2, at the end of five innings of play.

The players left little doubt that their action was aimed at Bob Feller, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, and Shortstop Marty Marion, or the St. Louis Car dinals. Feller's front office pulled him out to save him for a tough eastern trip; Marion said he had a sore back.

Williams Gains TKO Over Jack Sixth Round Flurry Bests Former Champ PHILADDELPHIA, July 13 OP) Ike Williams finally found an opponent who didn't know what it meant to backtrack and the string bean kid from Trenton, N.J., used him as a medium to prove he's a great lightweight champion. Williams scored a six-round technical knockout Monday night over Beau Jack, windmill-swing ing former shoeshine boy who sought to make boxing history by becoming the first fighter ever to win the same title three times. Each fighter entered the ring at 134 pounds. A disappointing crow'd of 12,952 paid $33,787 at Shibe Park and saw the ever-advancing Jack swarmed all over the champion in the -early rounds. Williams, jabbing and counter-punching, simply waited patiently for an opening. In the sixth, the champion caught Jack with a left hook and. o1 battering him with countless rights 0 nwu tens, piuiieu mm againsi me ropes. iKe passed to Referee Char ley. Daggert to stop it but he said no. Jack wanted to fall but he couldn't and finally Daggert step ped in and called a halt after 33 seconds of the round. The battle had been fairly even 10 tnat point. Daggert had scored it two rounds for each and one even; Judge Frank Knarsborough carded three rounds for Williams and two for Jack, while Judge Harry Lasky saw Jack win three rounds and Williams two. Williams said he planned to con tinue fighting as a lightweight, discounting rumors he would cam paign for Ray Robinson's welter weight diadem. A beaten and dejected Jack who had no excuse for his defeat said "of course I'll keep on fighting. Fighting is my life." S.
