0 tlX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wadnasdsy, June 25. 19S2 Medford$Teibuni Rain Again May Halt Robinson-Maxim Tiff : New York TI.R) Joey Max im and Sugar Ray Robinson were scheduled to meet tonight in their postponed battle of Champiom at Yankee Stadium, but there was m chance that rain again would wash out the fight. Today's forecast was for warm and humid weather, "with a chance of scattered thunder norms and squally gusts in the afternoon or evening." n case of a second postpone ment, the 15-round fight for Maxim'a light heavyweight crown will be held Thursday niAit. Middleweight champion Rob insoivwas favored at 7-5 today to win his third world title. Before Monday's delay, the price was 'even rhoney." The slender New York Negro was made favorite because the postponement was expected to weaken Maxim, who had to keep pared down to the 175-pound limit for today's weigh-in. Robinson, whose title is not at stake, had no weight problem. He scaled 160 pounds at Monday's weigh-In.- Maxim registered 174a-i. A second postponement prob ably would boost Robinson's price to 8-3 as Maxim of Cleve land literally "sweated out" the delay. Joey weighed 184 for his last non-title bout on March 6. The drain of keeping below 175 now may send him into the ring "weak and stale."

The gentleman from Ceorgia, it is speculated, was dropped on the trading block recently. Oakland Manager Mel Ott ai.d Owner Brick Laws were disap pointed with Ayers efforts this season. A 20-game winner for the 1951 Acorns, Big Bill had trouble hit ting his stride this campaign But since the trade-bait talk was mouthed, William has shown signs of coming around. He won his fifth in 10 decisions last night, stopping San Francisco on three hits, 1-0. Ayers had a no- hitter until the eighth. Beit Cam As luck would have it. Seal pitcher Al Lien worked his best game of the year in losing. He pitched eight innings and allow ed only one hit while fanning 10. But that one blow cost him the game. Lien walked Sammy Chapman on four pitches to open the fourth and the excellent outfield er moved around to third on two ground outs. Loyd Christopher stroked a single to left and Chap man scored. In other games, a homer by Gene Baker and a grand-slam mer by Max West in the eighth frame pushed Los Angeles into a 7-1 take from league-leading Hollywood; and Al Widmar's five-hitter brought Seattle a 4-0 victory from San Diego. The loss was the Pads' sixth straight. The battle between Sacra mento and Portland was washed out. TORCH LIGHTED Olympii, Qreece (UP) .

Dick Groat Almost Has 3-Way Kill By UNITED PRESS Two near misses by the raw est rookie and the littlest pitch er In the majors gave the sec- one division Pirates and Ath letics small consolation today as both tumbled further off the pace. Dick Croat of the Pirates Just missed making an unassisted triple play. Bitsy Bobby Shantz of the Athletics just missed win ning his 12th straight game in a five-hi. defeat that took no lustre off his record. Groat, signed last week for S75.000 by the Pirates as he stepped off the Duke campus and into the Pittsburgh first string shortstop post, was within inch es of the first unassisted triple play in the majors since May 31, 1927 in Boston. TAKES LINER With runners on first and sec ond in the third inning, Groat took a liner by Earl Torgeson and stepped on second to retire the speedy Sam Jethrie. He hes itated an instant to see if he could run down Bob Thorpe, rea lized he had little chance and threw to first to sacrifice glory for a sure out. The Braves went on to win, 4 to 3, as George Crowe singled home the winning run in the ninth; nullifying a three-run eighth Inning homer by Gus Bell. The last unassisted triple play In the majors was completed by Johnny Neun of the Tigers on May 31, 1927, and in an astound ing coincidence, the one prior to that was completed by Jim Coon ey of the Braves on the day be-! fore, May 30, 1927. At the other end of the Na-j tional League, the Giants gained, a game on the Dodgers and wound up four behind them by! trimming the Reds. 3 to 1 and 7 the Cards, 6 to 0, then lost, 7 to to 4, while the Dodgers topped 4.

Talent Defeats Medford Cubs Talent defeated Medford 7 to 1, Ashland beat Phoenix 6 to 4 and Central Point blasted Jack sonville 16 to 5 Tuesday, in Southern Oregon Junior Base ball loop cub division hassles. Eaglii Point at Grants Pass was postponed by rain. Pitcher Dale Taylor knocked in all Ashland runs with a pair of home runs with two on base each time. Central Point scored eight runs in one Inning. Monday pee wee results re ported this morning were Grants Pass 7, Eagle Point 6 and Central Point 7, Jacksonville 2. games. In the American . League, Shantz, in a duel with Early Wynn'of the Indians gave up only five hits in a 2 to 1 defeat while Wynn yielder five in vic tory. But two of the Cleveland hits, a single by Bobby Avila and a homer by Al Rosen occurred in the third inning and the A's never could catch up.
