brown Champ Posts Decision Over Scrappy Lane Ity Jark Cuddy tri stnrr whit HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD-Lighl-weight champion Joe Brown said looay he will grant a return bout "as soon as possible" to south paw Kenny Lane, who menaced his crown Wednesday night before a sellout crowd that paid a re cord Texas light gale. Brown's thundering finish In the 15th round probably saved his 135-pound title on the' unanimous decision that snapped Lane's win ing string at J9 straight and ex- t'ndcd Joe's unbeaten streak to IS. including a draw. Because of the terrific fight, the new record Texas gate of $69,- 203 and a record paid crowd of Rex Braun, president of Texas Boxing Enterprises, Inc., announced, "We'll stage a return title fight In late September at the Coliseum, if the managers are willing." Claim Lane Won Lane, of Muskegon, Mich., and co-managers Jack Kearns and Pete Petroskey declared in unison that Kenny had won' Wednesday night's thrilling contest at the Coliseum, but hadn't got the ver dict. They demanded a return as quickly as possible. However, Lou Viscusl, manager of Brown, was not as eager for a return tilt as tlio champion was. He said, "I don't know what we'll do next. We'll have to talk things over for a couple of days." Brown, 32, of New Orleans, re ceived tha largest purse of. his career approximately J-12,400 lor his magnificent defense against the underrated challenger who had gone into the ring a 13-5 tuiderdog. Lane, 26-year-old ex farm boy, will get half as much as Brown or about $21,200 lor his 20 per cent of tha net gate and $45,000 TV money. Each weighed 1M!4, pounds. Lnno Staggered In 15th Brown wrapped up a success ful fifth defense of the 115-pound ' title in the 15th round when he twice staggered Lane with right uppcrcuts and left hooks 'and knocked out his mouthpleca for Hie second time in the bout. The champion received the un animous decisions on a 10-point-must basis as follows: Referee Ernie Taylor, 143-142: judge Jimmy Webb, 145-141, and judge Bill Cornelius, 144-143. The decision was greeted by a roar of mingled cheers and boos, reflecting divided opinion among the fans. United Press International had the bout even, with 113 points for each fighter. A pool of 17 writers at the ringside showed 13 favoring Brown, three for Lane and one even. There were no knockdowns, al though each was well shaken many times. Folley Meets Rademacher Friday Night LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Bank ing heavyweight contender Zoni Folley battles n personal "Jinx" Friday night against Pete Uncle- mncher In a bout that may decide the next challenger for champion Floyd Patterson. Folley, almost certain to enter the ring for the rationally tele vised 10-round bout as the favor ite, has won 43 of 45 professional fights, but his only losses have been In the Olympic Auditorium where Friday's fight Is being staged. The charity "Fight for Lives" will be blacked out within a 150 mile radius of Los Anseles. Folley's only pro setbacks have been at the hands of Johnny Summerlin and Young Jack John son, early in his career. His loss to Johnson came after he suffered a rib Injury in a gym workout. Olympic matchmaker George Parnassus said toctay that he was asking the National Boxing Asso ciation and the California Athle tic Commission to recognie the winner of Friday's bout as the No. 1 contender for the title. Folley has ranked as the No. 2 and. occasionally, the No. 1, con tender, for the past several months. Rademacher has only one pro fight to his credit, the specta cular six-round loss to Patterson last year. Patterson floored him seven limes, but Rademacher al so had the champion on the floor once.

EDITOR The Bend Bulletin, Thursday, July 24, 1958 ri,i-i.!i.5'.. .'w Sports Talk Bauer Leads Bend Hitiers In Action at The Dalles Ily Boh Burlier Bulletin Htull Writer Rnndom notes on Murray Broth era' series with The Dalles Inst weekend which gave the Bend-based crew Ihe sub-Araa 1 title: Sid Bauer was trie top local apple-knocker, pounding out five hits in eight trips for a fine .625 average. He came through with a pair of doubles and three singles. Gary Joanis, team sparkplug and rated as one of the best catchers in the state, was third In the rat ings with a .single, a double and a triple in one contest and a one bngger in the other. He finished with .411 on four for nine. Pat Connolly, sterling first base man, hit a home run and two singles during the matches, to fin ish with three for five and .600. Connolly, however, wasn't the only four-base slugger. Bob Lanza rot t a poked out a circuit blast in the first game of Ihe two. Top run-makers were Joanis and the lean Connolly, with both cross ing the plate four times. Lanznrot ta and Bauer each made the four sided trip three times. In fact, every Bend player who took part. Willi ilio exception of Pitchers Ld Cecil and Mike Riley, scored nt least one run. Bend finished with 22 tallies In the two tilts, compared with 11 for Ihe vanquished. Despite his team's fine showing, Vinco Gonna still doesn't believe his boys have really hit their stride yet. The 1057 edition of the Murray ovtlit hit tile peak fairly early in the season, then tapered off some what, which hurt the squad's title prospects somewhat, the mentor be lieves. This year, the team has lm prced slowly, wliile being good enough to win 21 of 27 regular games. The team still needs plenty of work on defense, the perfection ist who is at the helm says, de spite the "inspired" play at the Columbia river town. Gtnnii hopes that the crew will reach its peak sometime within the next week or two, and stay there long enough to reach national stat us. On p.ix-r, nt least, things seem 0 N. B E R A t !w? 'ti'-I III I ..... 1 to be breaking for the hometown el's. They will be here for the Area 1 playoffs this weekend, then, if they survive, will host the slate semi-finals. This is despite the fact lhat semi-finals were here last year, Vince explains that Bradford Clothiers gave up the right to have the game in Portland in return tor a juicy guarantee. So, now it's our regular turn, '. Don't be fooled into thinking that John Day will be a pushover for Bend this weekend, just because tho team's from out in the "sticks." In tho first place, any nine has fo be pretty fair to last this long in competition and, besides, a 16 6 season total is nothing to be sneezed at. ' The two clashed twice this year and Bend, which has met and van quished squads from several much larger towns, had to be satisfied with a split. In the season-starting tllit, the builders edged John Dny, here, 8 to 7. Then, just a few weeks ago, the Eastern Oregonians, on their own ground, slipped past the trip takers, to finish on top 3-2. In the game which the Murray men dropped to this weekend's foe, Bend was ahead, 2-0 until the bot tom of the seventh, when John Day enmc across with three big runs to earn the victory. The leading pitcher for the op ponents, Joe Hukowiee, did a pretty fair job against Bend, fanning 35, walking only one and giving up Wj15 WALtl NOW SHOWING SHOW TIME 7:30 THEIRS was the daring love affair defying every centuries old beliefl iff'-j'L", S . wf V ' tvcmnicoloii cmniRAMA MIIKO TAKA PLUS SELECTEDSHORT- .

Crown Solons Edge Portland, 2-1 PORTLAND (UPI) Pitcher Joe Stnnka scored the winn ng run for Sacramento in the eighth Inning to chalk up his seven'n I win of the year as the Solons edged, the Portland Beavers ?-l here Wednesday night before 90 fans. Stanka drew a walk from los ing hurler Al Lary and was sac rificed to second. Then Jim West lake rapped a douhli to right center to chase (he Solon chuektr across the plate with the winning tally. The Beavers got their run In the bottom of the opening frame as Ed Wincenlak stroked a liiwr down the right field line. Jim Grcengrass, Solon right fielder couldn't quite flag it down and it rolled to the fence with Wincen iak getting an inside - the - park home run. Nippy Jones drove across the other Sacramento run in the fourth with a single after Al He:st singled and advanced to second on an Infield out. Stnnka now has seven wins against 10 defeats. Lary, in being tagged with the loss is now 6 and Moose Clobber Healy's Squad With a score of 26 to 7, Moose defeated Healy's in an American Little League baseball game, play ed at Harmon Feild, July 18. Gil Vaugn, took his win, allowing only three hits, striking out eight and walking three of the losing batters. Leading the losers, Richard Home slammed a perfect 2 for 2, including a double while for the winners, Dick Robinson hit three for four. Batteries Moose: Vaugn and Robinson; Healy's: McMacken and Smith. jcven scattered hits. He's a sure bet to start one of the games here. He has a 6-2 rec ord and would love to take another from the Deschutes county aggre gation. Lefthanded Joe is backed up on tho mound by another lefty, Tom Sheets, who has a 5-3 mark. Nick Jackson, with a 3 0 total, and Tom Wilson, one nnd one, complete the chut,, ng staff. Butch Masonhelmer. catcher, lends the batting parade with a hefty ".377 on 20 of 53. Joe Smith, outfielder, has 16 of 48 for .333 and Pitcher Sheets has 15 for 49 and .306. The team Is batting about .562 which should make the series feat ure competition between two heavy, slugging outfits.
