& 3 Brooklyn Farms Out Seven Home Tussles Brooklyn U.PJ The Brook lyn Dodgers, stung by the stay at-home tactics of fans once con sidered the most fanatic in base ball, took the first step out of Brooklyn today. By arranging .to play seven of O their home games next season in Jerser Citv. N.J.. and announc- ;? ing they hope to vacate Ebbets r ieia alter xne inai seasun, uic jp Dodgers issued a pretty plain warning that poor attendance could make them leave town per manently. It's the first time in modern baseball history that a major- league team has "farmed out" any of its home games. O . And it's the first time in his oQtory that a pennant-winning team, as the Dodgers are almost certain to be this season, have gone out of their home town for any home games. With Dodger attendance far off during the last two seasons, club President Walter O'Malley put the finger on the parking problem as the reason for the slump. Time was, O'Malley point CD edout, folks in Brooklyn used to come to Ebbets Field by trol ley the team's present name was shortened from the nick CDname "Trolley Dodgers."

If the Dodgers are going to stay in Brooklyn, says O'Malley, they must find a site for a new stadium .which has parking fa cilities for at least 2,000 cars. They've been looking for such a site since 1948. "The matter has progressed to the point where a final en gineering and legal study will be made," said O'Malley. "The re sult will determine the future of the Dodgers." O'Malley insisted that the Dodger owners intend to keep the team in Brooklyn if at all possible. But he left the door open for a shift by saying "other locations" would be considered "only if we are finally unsuccess ful in our ambition to build in Brooklyn." Other locations mentioned by O'Malley, in addition to Jersey City, which lies just across the Hudson River from New York City were two areas on Long Island. "We plan to play almost all our home games at Ebbets Field in 1956 and 1957. but will have to have a new stadium there, after," said O'Malley. Satterf ield indicated a knockout was the most likely finish of the brawl, Valdes, 30, has won 33 fights, lost nine and drawn two, but has scored 23 knockouts. Satter field has 38 victories, 19 defeats and three draws. In addition Sat terf ield, 31, has lost more often by knockout than by decision. Two indications of the out come of the battle were in the results of both fighters against Moore and Ezzard Charles. Sat terfield was put away bf both in the third round, while Valdes decisioned Charles in 1953 be fore his 15-round loss to Moore this year. Washington Am Matches Begin Spokane (U.R) Match play begins today in the Washington state amateur golf tournament at the Spokane Country club.

(International) Hardtoppers Race Here On Saturday Another of the regular hard top auto racing programs is scheduled for this Saturday eve ning at the Jackson County speedway. . Bill Rozell, track manager for the Junior Chamber of Com merce at the Posse Grounds site said that the races will be in the nature of warm ups for the 24-hour marathon event slated over the Labor day holiday. Jack McCoy, veteran of the local track, who, however, made a late appearance this season, is expected to be one of the top contenders for evening's hon ors. McCoy has taken charge of the Ellis market special and re portedly has rebuilt the engine and has rehung the vehicle to suit his fancy. He reportedly "cleaned" the field last Sunday at Klamath Falls and recently grabbed the main, a heat and a trophy at Roseburg. No. 100 from Gold Beach is expected back on the Medford oval this week. Principal reason for coming, of course, will be to prep for the holiday marathon. Wayne Lemley was victor on the local speedway the last time out. A field of 150 drivers from west coast points is expected to vie in qualifying tests for the 24-hour race. Qualifying is set for Saturday, September 3 at the speedway. Fast times will determine a maximum 40 car field for the marathon which will run from 4 p.m. September 4 to the same hour on Septemb er 5, Labor day. The regular start will be used for the long race with the fast cars in the lead. Driver with the best time will get the pole spot. In the usual races at the track a "reverse" or handicap start has been used with the slow cars leading off. Champion of the Medford track under the point system will be determined with a reg ular racing program on Septem ber 17. . Scouts Shoot Rapids Of Columbia River The Dalles, Ore. (U.R) Twenty-seven Explorer Scouts shot the rapids of Hells Gate passage in the Columbia .river yesterday and wound up in the quiet water near The Dalles. The Scouts and seven adult leaders raced through the swirl ing white water from just be low the John Day river to Cel ilo Falls, following the route of Lewis and Clark. The 13-mile trip through the Rapids took them three hours. The Scouts hope to reach As toria by Sunday to take part in the dedication of a replica of old Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark wintered after their perilous trip west. Although the boys were truck ed around some of the roughest spots, their canoes still shipped plenty of water in Hells gate. As an added precaution, a Coast Guard motor boat shot that sec tion of the river with them.

One federal investigation of the sport already was underway. Another will be recommended to Congress in January. The current and proposed probes stem from efforts by the National Boxing association and its investigating committee to halt alleged racketeering and mobster infiltration into boxing. In New York, President James Norris of the International Box ing club said the NBA's concern about government investigation of boxing "indicates impotence on their part." Norris said he would welcome federal supervision of the sport over the "commission rule we now have." He made the state ment in reference to remarks by George A. Barton, former president of the IBA and head of its investigating committee. Barton, associated with box ing some 50 years, disclosed in a report to the association that the Justice Department's anti trust division was investigating charges of abuses in the IBC, which promotes almost all ma jor fights in this country. Barton charged that one box ing show promoter was slugged when he refused to pay $500 "tribute" for each show. He said that when certain persons were asked to sign affidavits regarding hoodlum activities in boxing they replied: "Not me. I don't want to get knocked yet." Admittedly facing a stone wall in its investigations, the NBA here unanimously passed a resolution asking for a federal probe. The association wound up its three-day meeting Tuesday. Louis Radzienda of Chicago, was elected president for 1955 56. At Tuesday session, the NBA appointed a 10-member commit tee to meet with Pennsylvania Governor George Leader Sept. 19 at Harrisburg, to discuss pro gress of the Justice Department investigation into possible anti trust violations. Other new officers elected at the group's final session includ ed Floyd Stevens, Michigan, first vice-president; Thomas Littleton, Louisiana, second vice-president; Julius Greebstein, Maine, third vice-president; Gilbert Jackson, Wisconsin, four vice-president; Dr. Ward Wylie, West Virginia, fifth vice-president; James Crow ley, Pennsylvania, sixth " vice president and Authony Macer oni, Rhode Island, treasurer.

SERVICE Top-Seeded Net Doubles Teams Mix Chestnut Hills, Mass. U.R) Top-seeded tandems, all but three of which survived early play in the 75th national tennis doubles championships, turned to toppling each other today. With only two seeded teams knocked out in actual play, and the other "benched" in a ruckus- raising Davis Cup maneuver, seeded entries comprise the bulk of the remaining field. Of 29 teams surviving in the men's and women's doubles divisions, 16 were seeded. The situation promised to step up the tempo of the tournament, somewhat sluggish through its first two days at the Longwood Cricket Club. Attention Tuesday, in fact, centered a large part of the time on non-tourney play involv ing Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas, big guns on the U. S. Davis Cup team that will defend its crown against a determined Australian aggregation at Forest Hills, N.Y., Aug. 26-28. Won by Default Trabert and Seixas, top two tennis players in the nation and top-seeded in this tourney, won their match Tuesday by default, so got in practice rounds with Jack Kramer and Don Budge. Trabert, a 24-year-old from Cincinnati, Ohio, out of action three weeks before the doubles championships with a sprained shoulder played flawlessly, rais ing hopes for a successful defense of the Cup at Forest Hills. Eliminated in upsets Tuesday were Australians Mai Anderson and Jeoff Radford and Mexicans Yola Ramirez and Rosa Maria Reyes. The second-seeded foreign entry of Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall lost by default after Australian Davis Cup coach Harry Hopman decided to with draw them, apparently to save them for the Cup challenge rounds. Anderson and Radford bowed to Leslie Longshore, of Annis ton, Ala., and Alan Morris, of Atlanta. Ga., in the most spirited match of the day, 7-9, 10-8, 8-6, 6-4.

The Dalles Gains Area Legion Toga Billings; Mont. (U.R) Denny- Peterson is the toast of the Dalles, Ore., today after hurling his American Legion junior base ball team to a 4 to 0 shutout over Billings and the regional title here last night.

(International) Aussies Win Zone Finale Philadelnhia (U.R) The Italian Davis Cup tennis team, loser by 5-0 to Autralia in the interzone finals completed Tues day, predicted today that the Aussies will take the Cud from America this year by a score of 3-2. "Tony Trabert will win his two singles," said Nicola Pietran geli, who won one set from Aus tralian Ken Rosewall in the opening singles and lost to Lew Hoad Tuesday in straight sets, 9-7, 6-2, 6-3.
