And he was Just in time to prevent Manager Leo Durocher from pulling out his few remain ing gray hairs. Hiti Homer The home run hero of the 1951 pennant race, whose bat had been strangely silent this year, burst out of his coma Monday night with a tremendous homer which sparked the Giants to a 10 to 4 victory over the Phillies. Thomson had entered the game with an anemic .143 batting av erage which had caused Duroch- Bob Murphy Beats Jones Boston U.R) Heavyweight Irish Bob Murphy demanded a bout with contender Rocky Mar ciano Tuesday after scoring a 10-round decision over Reuben Jones at Boston Garden. "I want Marciano or Matthews or Maxim," said Murphy, the 29-year-old ex-sailor from San Diego, Calif., who now fights out of Boston. Harry (Kid) Matthews is a light heavyweight and Joey Maxim, who beat Murphy last June, holds the title in that di vision. But Murphy weighed only 182 V4 for last night's fight against Jones of Richmond, Va., and hopes to train down into the light heavyweight class while still fighting as a heavyweight. lllinolTVaiTey Trounces Crater Illinois Valley smothered Cra ter high 12 to 0 Saturday in a JDJ league baseball fracas at Central Point.

Thomson had been obviously over-eager In the Giants' first five games. He had made only two hits, had not knocked in a run and was clearly pressing. Dispells Doubts Then, Bobby, in his first game on the road, dispelled Leo's doubts. He sent a Howie Fox serve in the first inning soaring to the roof of the left field pa vilion at Shibe Park. Whitey Lockman, who had walked, trot ted home ahead of Bobby. The rest of the Giants took heart, grabbed their bats Qnd went to work. When the night was over, Don Mueller had also crashed his first homer of the year and Willie Mays and Henry Thompson had clouted triples in the Giants' heaviest outburst of the season. Raichi Wins Vic Raschl made his life-time mark a spectacular 22-2 against the Athletics as the Yankees rolled to an easy 5 to 1 victory and Cuban Julio Moreno of the Senators, only pitcher to beat the Red Sox this year, did it a second time with a 3 to 2, raven-hit job. Towering Paul Min ner pitched a three-hitter as the Cubs defeated the Pirates, 7 to 1, In the only other game. The Cubs routed rookie Ron Kline with seven runs in the first two innings and Minner pitched artfully thereafter to send the Pirates down to their fourth consecutive defeat. Rookie Johnny Merson's home run, his second, spoiled Minner's bid for a shutout in the fifth inning. Husky Nine Tops Washington State Seattle (U.R) The Washing ton Huskies will be out to sweep their two-gome baseball series with Washington State when they meet the Cougars here Tues day. Basketball star Bob Houbregs pitched the Huskies to a 6-4 Northern Division diamond vic tory Monday.

Ed Bousheee was the big gun of the Cougar attack as he hit two singles and a two run homer. Ex-Champs Face Golf Opponents Pinehurst, N. C.

"If I went around and started talking about some ball player that I wanted on some other club, I'd get fined $3,000 or some such amount for fooling around where I wasn't supposed to," Stengel said. "I don't know how that crazy so and so gets by doing It. Maybe he thinks peo ple will just think he's kidding.' "They Want Pl.nly" At the same time H.

Fagone said that the Millers will field a team from strictly "local" talent of Central Point and Medford.

Positions Open First work out of the Millers under Fagone was held last night. He has invited all youths interested in the two communi ties to turn out and said that all positions on the team are still open.

Nevertheless, it appeared that Lane, who takes the offensive in all of the negotiations might close some sort of a deal within the next few days. Ehlers said he had talked to Joe Cronin, general manage of the Red Sox when he and Lane were In Boston, but that the dis cussions were only In the pre liminary stages.' The Red Sox are seeking a catcher and re portedly are after either Joe Tip ton of the A's or Ralph Houk of the Yankees. BODY and FENDER WRECKS, WATCH If you gigged when you should have tagged . , .

Marciano KOs Italian In Second Providence, R. I. (U.ro Rocky Marciano was more confi dent than ever Tuesday of get ting a crack at the world's heavyweight boxing title after a smashing second round knock out over Gino Buonvino of Italy. Weighing 189, the Brock ton, Mass., contender was satis fied after the fight he had erased the impression left by his mediocre performance in his last fight against Lee Cavold. Buonvino weighed 196. The knockout punch was a jolting right cross which many of the 4,592 fans at Rhode Island Auditorium failed to see. Marciano has been eyeing a crack at the title against the winner of a proposed bout be tween Champion Jersey Joe Walcdtt and Ezzard Charles and the Brockton boy's performance Monday night showed him at his sharpest, although against an inferior opponent. WIL Begins '52 Season By United Press The Western International league opens its 1952 season today, and 18,000 baseball fans are expected to pass through the turnstiles to see the four cur tain raisers of a race predicted to be one' of the tightest in years. Opening games of the recently designated class A circuit match Salem at Spokane, Tri-City at Lewiston, eVictoria at Yakima and Vancouver at Wenatchee. League President Robert Abel, who predicts the best year in the league's colorful history, will be at Lewiston to see the Idaho city make its WIL debut. The Broncos replaced the Ta- coma Tigers who last year dropped out of the loop. Young Shortstop Credited With Reviving San Diego San Francisco (U.R) Allen Richter, the young shortstop of the San Diego Padres, may be the man who can lift the blight from the life of manager Lefty O'Doul and, incidentally, the Padres. With three weeks of competi tion already complete in the 1952 Pacific Coast league campaign, the Padres definitely are in the pennant chase and many are giv ing the credit to young Richter. The powerful young star, who played for Louisville in the American Association last year, has "made" the Padre infield and has been the big gun on their defense. Last year he played 152 games for the Louisville club, batting .252 and fielding a fine .953. For that he was voted the most valu able man on the club and was named the league's all-star short stop. Tuesday night, Richter makes his first appearance in Holly wood as the Padres battle the Stars and fans there will get their initial glimpse of his rifle arm. In other games Tuesday night, the up-and-coming Sacramento Solons take on San Francisco in Seals stadium; Oakland visits Seattle and Los Angeles travels to Portland.

S. Army Tuesday for a two-year hitch. The Skinny New York battler, 25 and single, was inducted into the Army Monday at the induc tion center here and was sent immediately to Camp Kilmer, N. J., to begin training. It was believed that both the National Boxing association and the New York State Athletic Commission would rule he will retain the featherweight title throughout his stay in the Army, thus waiving the rule requiring champions to defend every six months. This was the procedure followed during World War II, but Saddler is the first ring champion to enter the service under the current draft. to SKIS' IIIWIHO C0WMT, SalM, OHM I
