Cuban curver, put the St. Louisiayne lanaea on jviaunews cum Browns on pop-fly rations Tues-lfirst round. Layne failed to take day night as he pitched . the j have ended the sensational record Washington Senators to a four- minutes. ... hit, 2-to-0, victory that moved them to within two games of the first place Cleveland Indians. ', Marrero was spectacular all the way. He struck out eight batters and walked but two. The rest of the time the Browns were popping up futilely. Nine fly balls went to the outfield; six more were easy pops to the infield; there were .pop fouls to catcher Mickey Gras o. And on the only ball hit on the ground that didn't go for a hit, Marrero himself threw out the batter: . It was Marrero's fourth straight triumph without a defeat. He had only one bad inning, the eighth, when the Browns made two of their hits. Singles by Clint Courtney and pitcher Tom my Byrne put runners on first and third but Marrero retired the side when Marty Marion flied out. THE SENATORS made both of their runs in the third inning when they bunched three of their rune hits off Byrne. Eddie Yost walked to start the inning, and Jim Busby, Jackie Jensen and Archie Wilson followed with suc cessive singles for the only tal lies of the game. Four double plays helped Byrne out of other jams. In the only other game played In the Majors in another program bob-tailed by rain-forced post ponements, the Yankees made an early 4-0 lead stand up for right hander Johnny Sain against the white Sox and went on to win 4-3. Sain, the National League cast off from the Braves who has become the Yankees' most con sistent winner, pitched six-hit ball, but was in frequent trouble in the late going. The victory put the Yankees into undisputed pos session of fourth place, 3'4 games behind the first place In aians. It was Sain s fourth vic tory against but. one defeat. The Yankees, getting all of their runs in the first five innings, depended mainly upon switch swinger Mickey Mantle who was in the midst of most of the scor ing with four hits. SAIN PITCHED hitless ball for four innings. In the fifth Eddie Robinson walked to become the first Chicago base - runner and cored on singles by Sam Mele and Chico Carrasqual. The other Chicago runs were unearned. They came in the sixth when Hec tor Rodriquez singled with two out and substitute first baseman, Irv Noren, fumbled Robinson's grounder. Ray Coleman" singled to load the bases and Mele drove in two-Tuns with another single. " The Philadelphia at Detroit and Boston and Boston at Cleveland games in the American League were rained out and the entire National League slate, Cincinnati .at Brooklyn, St. Louis at New York, Chicago at Boston, and Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, also had to be called off.

ROBERT C. McCRACKEN INSURANCE AGENCY BOB McCRACKEN "Insurance 85 Weit Broadway HIGHCLIMBER ir When Rex Layne and Kid Matthews fight again in Portland, possibly an open-air show at Multnomah Stadium In July make your reservations early. We ean guarantee an even better brawl than Monday night's good "heavyweight" fight at Portland's PI Pavilion. . . . There were quite a few doubting Thomases who thought that Rocky Marciano and Ezzard Charles had taken the starch out of the comparatively young (24 in June) Layne and Rex himself feared that they might be correct. . . . But after he crawled off the canvas in the second round and then absorbed five of Matthews' best righthanded punches in the fourth round, the 198-pound Layne seemed to absorb confirence every following round. ... Lawne was the aggressor throughout the fight, but in the early stages he couldn't find the target and at no time did the agile Matthews eive him a chance to land his best punch a left up- percut with his opponent on the ropes. Layne, as solid as a rock, hits like a mule with either hand and would probably have a bet ter chance against a slower heavyweight target than the fast-stepping and quick-punching Matthews. . . . Jack "Professor" Hurley, after His "Atnietes" oesi roruana fight since the Idaho native has fans, is talking in terms of Marciano apparently overlooking the contract for a return bout that genial Marv Jensen carries in his wallet. The contract has provisions, but the one that re- quires a "good fight" for a rematch certainly isn t one of them. - Hurley, and Matthews, too, probably recall the left hook Matchmaker-Promoter Tex Salkeld would likely recover quickly from a heart attack, suffered before the main event Monday, if he I books the rematch open-air with a crowd of some 30,000 and' a $150,000 gate. fa Matthews, six years older impressive record of the pair: MATTHEWS 87 78 3 8 57 1 Fighti Wins Losses Draws Knockouts Lost by Knockouts' Matthews is now unbeaten in Kahut, who lost to both Layne fight that he, too, believes he like to try and also says that Jensen, Layne's manager, is a wealthy mink farmer and breeds prize show animals. ... In a recent show he collected more than 30 prizes with about 12 pairs of mink. . . . He has probably netted something like $60,000 with his mink in three years and will do well with Layne if Rex can notch one impressive victory. The crowd of 10,600 was the largest indoor sports gathering in state history and the largest fight crowd since the Jack Dempsey-Jim Byrne (Coos Bay) exhibition at McArthur Court the night of Sep tember 4, 1931. . . . That local exhibition attracted "more than 8,000 cash customers" rather than the more than 10,000 we had been led to believe these 21 years. . . . Sports writers from Seattle, ington, the Portland contingent ered" the fight. . . . Congratulating Layne after the fight, and looking at Rex' puffed and blackened left eye and cut lip, Norm Van Brocklin remarked, "That's a tough racket and it isn't for me!" We had seen Mathews on several occasions in Portland, but the "Athlete" never looked better SPORTS Combined Wire Servlcea BOB TONEFF, giant Notre Dame All-American tackle, signed his 1952 pro grid contract with the San Francisco 49ers, while GAR- ARD RAMSEY, guard, has come to terms with the Detroit Lions and will join Coach Buddy Park er's staff.

The Chieftain School also announced that Al Brightman had signed for two more years as cage coach at an increase in salary. Jockey JOHNNY ADAMS is on one of the longest winning horse race streaks by any rider. He rode five winners in six mounts at Chicago Tuesday to push his three-day string to 12 winners in 14 tries. He won seven races in a row from Saturday until Mon day, until the string was snapped. BOB SLAYBAUGH, St. Louis Cardinals rookie who lost the sight of his left eye when hit by a baseball in spring training camp, will attempt a baseball pitching comeback with Omaha and the Western Association. In addition to losing the sight of his eye, the 21-year-old hurler suffered a frac ture of a group of' bones near the eye, multiple fractures of the nasal bones and a concussion of the brain in the March 24 occur- rence.

Lombard Motors Ofea., Ltd. 13th & Oak (Wiltshire eiiKraving) HIGH JUMP HOPE Oregon's Emery Barnes looms as a possible first-place winner In this week end's PCC track meet at Hay ward Field. Barnes has cleared 6'8" thin year and won the Northern Division mark with a 6'6" leap. The PCC runoffs will be held Friday and Saturday with the pre liminaries the first afternoon and the finals on Saturday. PCC Form Sheet (Editors note: This is the third in a series of articles on the PCC track championships at Hayward Field Friday and Sat urday, Tickets are now on sale at McArthur Court, John War ren's Hardware, and Hender shott's.) By BERNIE HAMMERBECK F.C.C. mbllcltr Director High Jump Most difficult event to predict is the high jump where the per formers have been most inconsist ent. Emery Barnes, off his spec tacular 6 ft. 8 in. leap against Ore gon State, must be figured prom inently. If he could come near that mark again, the event would be all his. Eric Roberts of Wash ington State' and George Widen fell of Washington have been the most reliable jumpers and can be counted on to clear 6 ft. 5 in. Manual Ronquillo, most con sistent of three USC jumpers, is of about the same caliber. Team mate Dick Brombach has a best of 6 ft. 6 in. and the Trojans' No. 3 man, Jerry Kincheloe, has topped 8 ft. 4 in. It appears that this sextet should have the event sewed up. Probable finish: 1 Barnes, 2 Roberts, 3 Widenfelt, 4 Brombach, 5 Ronquillo. Pole Vault Oregon State's Lyle Dickey is the defending champion and fa vorite in the pole vault but may have to be at his best to outdo come through" performances by several others. Ray Packwood of Oregon could approach Dickey as could Len Eilers, of UCLA, a con sistent 13 ft. 6 vaulter. USC has three unpredictable entrants, Le- Roy Cox, Al Sandusky and Frank Johnson Cox and Sandusky hav ing topped 13 ft. 9 in. during the season. California's Dave Seed is coming along fast after a poor start and has cleared 13 ft. 6 in. while team. mate Larry Anderson (a fresh man who had four fingers blown off in a chemistry lab accident last fall) is undoubtedly the most cour. ageous vaulter in the West and has $ uck . expert S. With ( ' . I ' ,. It f cleared 13 ft. 4 in. Dave Martin dale of Idaho is another contender. Probable finish: 1 Dickey, 2 Tie between Packwood and Eilers, 3 Tie among Martindale, Seed, Sandusky and Cox. Shot Put The weight events are practical ly a closed shop for Stanford and Southern California with USC's Parry O'Brien an overwhelming favorite in the shot-put. O'Brien has been out over 56 feet this year and should erase his own Hayward Field record of 53 ft. 4Vi in. He is backed by teammates Bob Van Doren (51 ft. 8Vi in.) and Des Koch, a 50-foot performer. Stan ford's trio is led by Howard Hertz (53 ft. BVi in.), Chuck Hokanson (52 ft. 8 "A in.) and Bob Mathias. California's contender is Sam Adams (51 ft. 5 in.), while other possibilities include Duane Eby, Oregon State (5 ft. 10Vi in.), Chet Noe, Oregon (48 ft. 11 'A in.) and Leo Roininen of WSC. Prob able finish: 1 O'Brien, 2 Hertz, 3 Hokanson, 4 Adams, 5 Van Doren. Discus Only a superb throw by Stan ford's versatile Bob Mathias stands between Sim Iness of Southern California and the dis cus title. The 6 ft. 6 in. Iness laid claim for a new American record in March when he sailed the disc 182 ft. 5 in. and has six other winning tosses in excess of 170 feet. Mathias, it must be re membered, got the best discus throw of his life at Hayward field last year at 173 ft. 4 in. Mathias is backed up by team mates Chuck Renfro and Ian Reed, both 160-foot throwers as are Parry O'Brien and Des Koch of the Trojans. Probable finish: 1 Iness, 2 Mathias, 3 Koch, 4 Renfro, 5 Reed.

Creswell Captures 5-3 Nod From Pleasant Hill PLEASANT HILL Creswell tuned up for the state B baseball tournament at Drain this week end by coming from behind for a 5-3 decision over Pleasant Hill here Monday afternoon. Ronnie Dersham and Merrill "Zilkoski combined to hurl the win. The Bulldogs rallied from a 3-2 deficit in the sixth inning, using three walks to tally twice.
