very elusive as he reaches in vain for a rebound during Olympic
basketball game with Chile in Helsinki. Chileans are Chinchilla
Gallo (3) and V. Badrie Mahana (4). The defending U.S. team won,
103-55, for its fourth straight victory.
Sport
Parade
Helsinki U.R) The best
fights of the Olympic games
were not being waged Wednes
day in the "Messuhalli," an ov
ersized quonset hut where tne
boxing bouts are being held.
As a matter of fact, the fisti
cuffs on the whole were rather
dull. The best brawls were go
ing on among officials of this
idyllic quadrennial brawl.
Argentine mitt moguls were
shaking a frenzied finger at a
Finish referee, claiming the
gent was of pinkish tendencies.
Given Extra Dives
The Russians screamed "foul"
when Zoe Ann Jensen of the
U. S. was given two extra dives
because the springboard went
bad, and the Reds got even in
their own little way with a di
ving judge who ignored the cat
calls to subtract on Westerners
and add on Easterners.
Adding to the confusion, the
Russians were yelping that they
had been "robbed" of the
light-heavyweight weight - lift
ing title and nerves were so
tight even among the semi-official
families that Hungary and
Rumania were ordered to replay
their water polo game.
Pete Mello, the United States
boxing coach, wasn't bashful
about getting into the fray,
either. He was one of the first
to protest a boxing match in
which a Finish referee halted a
bout between an Argentine and
a Russian so the Red could have
his even-redder eye patched.
When things looked real tough
for, the Soviet slugger, the ref
eree disqualified the South Am
erican. Scared of Russians
'That Finn was simply scared
to death of the Russians and you
can quote me," Mello bellowed.
. "It's a lucky thing we have
good athletes or we'd never get
anywhere. I've just told my
guys to go out and knock them
stiff. That way there can't be
too much argument, although ev
en then you're not sure of win
ning." Argentine boxing Coach Al
fredo Porzio was nearly in tears.
"Six men eliminated in the
first round and only one lost,"
he stormed. "My heavyweight
was crying before his match to
day, he was so upset and demor
alized. Then he loses the first
time in his career. The morale
of my fighters has been kill
ed." There was a lot cf salty water
under the nasal bridge, too, in
the swimming department. The
crowd concentrated on a lady
judge named Bochina, who hap
pens to be from somewhere east
of Helsinki. When an American
or Briton dived, Madame Boch
ina held up the lowest point
score among all the judges.

When a Russian dived, her card
always showed the highest total
in sight.
Zoe Ann Flops
Then Mrs. Jensen, wife of
Jackie, the Washington Senators
outfielder, contributed to the
confusion when she did a dive
that was a real floperoo. She
landed in a position generally
associated with Moslem prayer
rugs.
Little Zoe marched right up
to the officials, told them their
springboard would not do to flip
flap-jacks, and got them to give
her another chance.
Late Tuesday night a number
of gents with Red stars featur
ed prominently on their jackets
were demanding that (1) she
take her first dive points, worth
slightly less than a Finnish
mark, or (2) that the whole bus
iness be run over.

get the million-dollar "Walcott-
Marciano title fight in Septem
ber unless Felix Bocchicchio is
granted a manager's license
within a week by the New York
State Boxing commision.
Bocchicchio, manager of
Heavyweight Champion Jersey
Joe Walcott, has never had a pi
lot's license in New York state
because of his criminal record
However, he had a New York

Joe became titleholder.
Promoter Jim Norris announc
ed today he will ask the commis'
sion to grant Bocchicchio a man
ager's license to save the Wal-cott-Rocky

Norris pointed out that ' Boc

ceived full pardons for any pre
vious misdoings from two Penn
sylvania governors John S.
Fisher and James A. Duff.
If Bocchicchio gets the license,
it's practically settled that the
15-round title fight will be stag
ed at Yankee Stadium Sept. 23.

Umpqua Salmon
Makes Comeback
Portland U.R) The North
Umpqua river spring chinook
salmon run is making a strong
comeback after a sharp drop-off
in recent years, the Oregon
State Game commission report
ed Wednesday.
The commission said a tally at
the Winchester dam fish count
ing station showed 4409 adult
salmon had passed upstream
through July 15.
The 1947 parent run of the
five-year cycle fish was only
2994. Last year a 49 per cent in
crease over the parent run was
counted and on basis of counts
kept at the station since 1946
several hundred more salmon
were expected through the Win
chester dam fishway.

Phils, Cards Threatening
To Overtake Loop Leaders
By UNITED PRESS
Maybe the Phillies or the
Cardinals will perform the
miracle in the National League
this season, leaving both the
Dodgers and Giants in a new
wreckage heap of broken
dreams.
The evidence was growing
Wednesday in their favor, and if
they can continue to close
ground on the slumping leaders,
they could either battle it out
for the flag between themselves
or turn the race into a four-way
free-for-all for the wildest finish
yet.
While both the Dodgers and
Giants kept floundering Tues
day night, the Phils and Cards
extended winning streaks with
vital victories. The Phillies
made Luke Sewell's last night as
manager of the Reds an unhap
py one by scoring 6 to 1 and 4
to 3 victories, while the Cards
went 13 innings to score a 6 to
5 decision at Boston.
Pittsburgh, beaten 13 straight
times by Brooklyn, finally rose
in belated fury and won 7 to 1
Williamson
Holds Title
For Archery
Medford's Joe Williamson, of
the Rogue Archers, retained his

at Dallas, Ore.
Williamson won the cham

67. Last year his winning score
was 62. He also won the field
round, scoring 174 on 14 targets.
More than half the state
prizes and awards were grabbed
off by members of the 15 Rogue
Archers who entered. Russ How
ard and Floyd Jenkins of the
local group placed second and
third to Williamson in the field
round.
Medford placed one, two,
three in the Junior Junior divi
sion of the field round. Floyd
Jenkins Jr., Derrell Williamson
and Bud Crase finished in that
order. These four youths also
finished among the first four in
the deer round and the cham
pionship round for the Junior
Junior archers.
Another first was taken by
Shirley Morton, who was the
only woman to hit a running
deer while shooting hands down.
The Rogue Archers grouped

competed against 200 of the
state's top archers in this meet.
