SIGNS 10TH SEASON
Cleveland, Ohio U.R) Lou
(The Toe) Groza, one of the
Cleveland Browns' charter mem
bers, has signed for his 10th sea
son in the National Football
League. Groza was the team's
leading scorer last year, amass
ing 84 points on place kicks and
conversions.
rounder at the Polo grounds
might clinch a September shot
at Rocky Marciano's heavy
weight title. That's what promot
er Jim Norris said.
The weather bureau's forecast
of a fine night "fair and
slightly cooler" strengthened
the promoter's hopes for more
than 25,000 fans and $250,000.
An additional $100,000 will be
received for the TV-radio pre
sentation over ABC networks at
6 p.m. (PST).
Moore, a well-traveled Negro
who now lists his home at San
Diego, Calif., should earn about
$90,000. Hawaiian-born Olson of
San Francisco should receive
about $82,500. Those purses
would be the largest of their
careers.
Top Heavyweight Contender
Despite Moore's age, the king
of the 175-pound division is gen
erally considered one of the most
formidable men in the ring to
day. He is recognized as top
contender for. Rocky Marciano's
heavyweight crown by the In
ternational "Committee of World
Professional Boxing Champ
ionships." Were it not for the suspicions
that he may have weakened him
self in paring down to the 175
pound limit from the 196V2
pounds he registered on May 2,
he would be a prohibitive fav
orite at 8-1 or higher over the
160-pound champion.
However, 26-year-old Olson's
youth, speed and aggressiveness
seem to give him a chance to
become the second man in ring
history to win the middleweight
and lightheavy crowns. Only the
late Bob Fitzsimmons achieved
the feat back in 1903. Fitzsim
mons also won the heavyweight
title.
Olson to Carry Fight
Olson, an adroit bob-weaver,
apparently will carry the fight
to ancient Archie, who prefers
now to stand flat-footed in a
semi-crouch and let the oppon
ent come into him. Training for
this fight, Moore concentrated on
a "lifting" counter-attack of up-
percuts and shovel-hooks to
straighten up the close-quarter
specialist from San Francisco.
In addition, Moore has a dang
erous straight "sneaker" right
to the head, and a withering two
fisted body attack.
Prematurely balding Olson
indicated in training he will ply
the nearly stationary Moore with
a persistent torrent of leather,
and meanwhile try to avoid Ar
chie's fists by slipping, weaving
and bobbing. He and manager
Sid Flaherty believe veteran Ar
chie will tire under the pace
and become nearly helpless in
the late going.
Olson's middleweight title will
not be at stake tonight; but it
will be vacated immediately if
he wins the lightheavy crown.
Golfers Tune
For Tourney
At Portland
Portland (U.R) Favorites of
the fairways from throughout
the nation took their final prac
tice licks today for the $15,000,
72-hole Western Open which
starts tomorrow and runs
through Sunday at the Portland
Golf Club.
Slammin' Sammy Snead, Dr.
Cary Middlecoff, Tommy Bolt,
Julius Boros, Gene Littler, Doug
Ford. Gardiner Dickinson Jr.,
and. Ted Kroll were among the
favorites as some 180 golfers
were on hand for the four-day
event.
Snead, who turned in a 64 with
three eagles Monday in a prac
tice round, had trouble with his
putting yesterday and was over
par. Most of the entries didn't
turn in scores, but Bolt fashioned
a 67 and Celestino Tugot, the
Philippine champion, shot a 66.
Fleck Not Entered
Two finalists in the recent Na
tional Open were not present.
Open Champ Jack Fleck flew
home to a welcome in Daven
port, la., while the man he de
feated, Ben Hogan, did not enter.
Host pro Larry Lamberger
said he believed a 275 score for
the 72-hole tournament would be
enough to win. Hogan shot a
record 261 here in the 1945
Portland Open but Byron Nelson
who finished second, was 14
strokes behind.
Lloyd Mangrum, who won the
Western Open in a playoff in
Cincinnati last year, is not com
peting this year due to a rib in
jury. The Western Open starts at 7
a.m. PST tomorrow with 18
holes scheduled each day through
Sunday.

By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
Bob Lemon, Cleveland's pitch
ing peach, was half-way toward
his seventh 20-victory season to
day, a goal which would make
him baseball's most consistant
big winner since the heyday of
ol' Robert Moses Grove 20
years ago. -
No other pitcher has had that
many 20-victory seasons since
Grove, the great Philadelphia
lefty, did it for the eighth time
in 1935.
And if Lemon makes it he
will be in a select group of im
mortals headed by Christy Matt
hewson with 13, Walter Johnson
12, Pete Alexander 9, Eddie
Plank 8, and iron man Joe Mc
Ginnity 7. Of all pitchers in
the modern era of baseball since
1900, those are the only ones
who surpass Lemon now.
For an uneasy moment last
night when he became the first
American League pitcher to win
10 games with a 3-1 job over
Baltimore, it looked as if Lem
on with his margin of triumph
on's chances were in jeopardy
because he injured his left thigh
baserunning in the seventh.
Pitcher Ray Narleski replaced
him and held the Orioles. Later,
it developed that Lemon's injury
was slight and he will miss no
action. Al Smith provided Lem
with a two-run homer.
