Three U.S. Entries in
Hammer Throw Finals
Helsinki (U.R) Harri
son Dillard of Cleveland
erased hit humiliation of 1948
with one meteroric iwoop
Thursday when he won the
Olympic 110-meter high hur
dles championship for Uncle
Sam's 14th gold medal of the
games.
Dillard set a new record of
13.7 seconds, breaking the old
mark by two-tenths of a sec
ond. He had tied the old rec
ord Wednesday. Jack Davis,
who finished second, also was
clocked in 13.7.
The U. S. made a 1-2-3 sweep
in the hurdles.
Helsinki (U.R) Three Am
ericans qualified easily for the
finals of the Olympic hammer
throwing competition Thursday
as Jozsef Czermak of Hungary
set a new Olympic record with
a toss of 187 feet, 8.04 inches in
the preliminary trials.
Sam Felton, Martin Engel and
Bob Backus, all of New York,
had little trouble in exceeding
the qualifying requirement of

as the sixth day of the games got
underway in chilly weather at
Olympic Stadium.
Russian Gymnasts Win
While the hammer throwing
trials were being held, Russia
widened its lead in the unoffi
cial team standings by winning
the women's gymnastics nine

ninth gold medal of the games.
The Soviets also picked up a
second place in the women's
rhythmic exercise gymnastics
with portable apparatus, finish
ing behind Sweden.
Promoter Faces
Financial Flop
In Monday Bout
New York (U.R) Jack Hur
ley, manager of Harry (Kid)
Matthews, raised his voice again
Thursday in a desperate effort
to prevent Monday night's fight
with Rocky Marciano from be
ing a financial flopperoo.
Hurley asked Chairman Bob
Christenberry of the New York
Boxing Commission to order
that the 10-round heavyweight
challengers' fight be conducted
on a championship basis.
Pilot Hurley asked that the
rule requiring an eight-count for
a knockdown be waived for the
night, and likewise the rule re
quiring defeat on a technical
knockout for a boxer floored
three times in one round.
"Since these men are fighting
for the right to meet Jersey Joe
Walcott for the heavyweight
title in September, let them fight
on a championship basis," Hur
ley asked Christenberry at the
Catholic Youth Gymnasium
where Matthews sparred with
Keene Simmons.

Tuesday, from that same en
closure where the four have
shared their hones and fears.
the biggest man of the quartet
amoied out to triumph. He was
six-foot, six-inch Sim Iness. Again
it was an upset as the 250-pound-er
outsteadied the best the world
could offer to win the discus
throw with a heave of better
than 180 feet. Again it was a
record for Room 1104.
Then Wednesday, they sent
forth a fellow named Cy Young,
neither their biggest at six, three
nor their heaviest, but he proved
he was big enough.
Faced Toughest Task
You might say that of the
four, Cy faced the toughest task.
For no American ever had won
the javelin toss in the long his
tory of the games. And nobody
gave Cy, a California walnut
farmer, much of a chance to be
the first to do it.
Nobody, that is, except the
guys in 1104.
They cheered wildly as Cy
hurled the javelin over 242 feet
to break both the Scandinavian
domination of this event and the
Olympic record . by more than
34 feet.
Today there was one of their
number still awaiting his big
test. You might have thoueht
that none of them had won, for
a few weeks of living together
had made it all-for-one and one-for-all.-
So all of them were tense
and tight with the jitters as Davis
readied for his test.
And it was a his one beeansp
he must also beat a favorite, in
this case a fellow American
named Harrison Dillard. a slen-!
der speedster universally ac
cepted as one of the greatest
hurdlers of all time.

The Medford Cheney Studs
will pin their hopes for second

baseball league this week-end
on the pitching of Lefty Herb
Karpel and Paul Gehrmann. The
Studs are now even with the
Coos Bay-North Bend nine in
league standing on a won-lost
basis and are only eight percent
age points behind the coast nine.
Karpel will be making his first
Medford start for the Studs since
joining the club earlier this sea
son. The stylish pitcher is a vet
eran of Pacific Coast league play
with Hollywood and Seattle and
was on the New York Yankee
mound staff before coming down
to the coast.
The big lefthander features
good control along with a
knuckle ball that has "lots of

game will be outfielder Don
Fawcett. Fawcett, a local product,

cett got off to a good start with
the Studs last week as he banged
out seven for nine against Rose

The entire Medford team is
starting to rap out long hits.
They have collected nine dou
bles, two triples and a home run
in their last three contests.

San Francisco (U.R) Be
cause fellows like Joe Brovia,

where the opposition wasn't,
Portland is proving a mild sur
prise in the Pacific Coast league

The Beavers aren't considered
pennant material. But the Clay

lent chance to finish in the first
division. '
Portland in Win Streak
Portland, now tied with Los
Angeles for fifth place, won
seven of nine games from the
Angels in a series last week.
And the Beavers took their sec
ond in a row Wednesday night
over fading San Diego.
Eggert, an improved third
baseman who can hit the long
ball, cuffed out three blows and
batted in two runs in Portland s
5-3 win from the Pads.
Russell, who had four hits
Tuesday night, got two more
last eve. Brovia, the lumbering
outfielder with the low pants
but high batting average, had a
mild night. He collected one
safety in two trips.
Lindell Gets Win
In other games, Johnny Lin
dell pitched a four-hitter for his
16th victory in 21 decisions as
Hollywood got by Sacramento,
3-1; San Francisco scored five
times after two were out in the
seventh to down Oakland, 9-5,
and Seattle nipped Los Angeles,
6-5, on Rosco Krsnich's two
tally homer.
Portland clubbed San Diego's
ace, Willie Luna, for 12 blows.
Jack MaGuire helped the
Bevo mainstays with three of
the 12, including a double, and
batted in two runs.. One of Eg-
gert's drives was good for three
bases.

Three Junior
Setting Victorious Pace
By UNITED PRESS
This is streak week in the
American league for three hot
ball clubs, the Athletics, Sena
tors and Red Sox, and it could
mean trouble for the pace-setting
Yankees.
No one has yet managed to
bring down a thunder-jet with
a bean-bag and maybe none of
these clubs' have ammunition to
shoot the high-flying world
champions out of the sky but
they're at least aiming in the
right direction.
A's Troublesome
Surprisingly, the Athletics
might be the biggest trouble
makers of all. Still in sixth place
11 games out of the lead, they're
flexing their muscles as they
did last season when they play
ed the best ball of any club in
the league for the final six
weeks.
They have won four in a row
and eight out of 10 and are get
ting some pitching to go along
with the incomparable artistry
of Bobby Shantz. Wednesday
night the A's handed the
Browns their seventh straight
defeat as Bob Hooper improved
his rating by gaining a relief
victory as an aide to Alex Kell
ner. Together they yielded four
hits, three singles by Al Zar
illa and a two-run homer by
Jim Dyck.
Hooper took over after Kell
ner went out for a pinch-hitter
in the seventh and yielded only
a hit to Zarilla the rest of the
way to gain his fifth win.
Red Sox Hot
The Red Sox made it three
in a row and 12 out of 14 by
topping the White Sox 10 to 4
with seven runs in the ninth,
and the Senators made it nine
out of 11 victories with a 5 to 2
marathon victory in 16 innings
over the Tigers at Detroit.
The Yankees, hot enough
themselves, with seven wins in
the last 10, were cooled off at

name professionals eased their
way around the Elmwood golf
course Thursday in the initial

Al Zimmerman, Portland, Ore.,

Other golfing experts from

Russ Squad
Keeps Lead
In Olympics
Helsinki (U.R) Russia,
mystery power of the 1952 Olym
pic games, was out in front
in the face for the unofficial
team championship Thursday
and the Western world wonder
ed if the Soviets can hold the
lead to the finish.
The Russians are very much
unknown quantities in just about
every sport, and so their overall
strength is virtually impossible
to estimate.
Russians Strong
The Western world had to ad
mit today that the Russians
have shown strong to this point.
with the help of a barrelful of
points scored in gymnastics. Go
ing into Thursday's events, the
Soviets led with 205VS points
to 202 for the United States.
Immediately in prospect was a
huge total of points in women's
gymnastics, not yet concluded,
which would boost the lead.
Their showing in gymnast
ics was expected, but they've
not lived up to expectations in
track and field and soccer. On
the other hand, they showed
very well in rowing with two
gold medals and in free style
wrestling with two more.
US Expects Points
The Russians swimmers were
not expected to come anywhere
near matching the United States'
point production in that sport
and there are many points to
be garnered there in both swim
ming and diving. Nor is the
Russian basketball team expect
ed to be a serious threat to the
mighty U. S. five.
Russian boxers might prove
surprisingly strong, observers
believe, but that's a sport where
the U. S. usually picks up sev
eral points.
Weak in Distances
Remaining track events are
expected to see Russians scoring
some points in long-distance
races, where Americans don't
rate, but the U. S. still has hopes
for MarWhitfield in the 400
meter run, for Bob Mathias and
his mates in the decathlon, plus
the many relays.
The United States remains
the favorite for the team title.
But the Yanks will have to roll
up points in remaining sports,
especially swimming, to win
out.
