Satterfield
Gets Verdict
Over Valdes
Chicago (U.R) Bobby Glea
mn manaeer of Cuban Nino
Valdes, the National Boxing as
sociation's second ranking heavy
weight, had an easy explanation
today why his battler lost to
Bob0 Satterfield.
"It was a lousy fight," Gleason
said. "My guy had a bad night
and he had a eood one. I want
a rematch. If he can't lick Sat
terfield, I'll retire him."
Satterfield, who gave away 32
pounds in weight at 183 to 215
for Valdes, nearly punched the
Cuban into retirement in the
television scrap. He won a un
animous decision with scores. of
878, 98-92 and 97-93 from the
two iudees. John Bray and
James McManus and Referee
', Frank Sikora.
Valdes, the 8-5 favorite, was
low, puzzled and futile through
3 out the match. Satterfield, far
faster, worked inside and push
ed his massive foe around the
ring, scoring meanwhile with
lefts and rights to the body and
occasionally a blow to the head.
3 On Knockdown
The Chicago fighter, who has
30 fights by knockouts and
Conine by decision, tallied the only
knockdown of the night, a com
bination punch followed by a left
hook to the jaw which bloodied
& Valdes' nose and mouth and left
him sprawled on the deck in
1 the last round. It was the first
time Valdes ever was knocked
(goff his feet.
It was Valdes' 10th loss in 45
pro fights and though he has
scored 23 knockouts, and Sat
literfield has been knocked out
13 times, Valdes never came
close to stunning his smaller.
foe.
There were no future plans
for either fighter. Valdes had
,been scheduled to meet Bob
Baker, rated number one con
Slender by the NBA, in Pittsburgh
gbut it was doubtful the fight
would remain on the docket.
And for Satterfield. Manager

Although the Rogue permits

Eddie LeBaron was hailed today
for using his bullseye throwing
arm to lead the Washington
Redskins to a jinx breaking 31
28 upset win over the Los An
geles Rams before 77,935 fans
in Memorial Coliseum.
The five-foot, eight-inch quar

passes and rolled up impressive
running yardage last night as
the underdog Skins won their
first of the last five annual Los
Angeles Times charities pro grid
against the Rams.
Coach Joe Kuharich's Red
skins led throughout the game
except for a few minutes in the
second half.
LeBaron shot an eight-yard
pass to Ralph Thomas in the end
zone shortly before the first
quarter ended for the first touch
down. LeBaron hit Thomas again
in the second quarter on a 15-
yard toss for the second of the
Skins two first half TDs.
Field Goal
Vic Janowicz's 20-yard field
goal on the first play of the
second quarter gave the Wash
ington squad its three other first
half points.
Woodly Lewis' 75-yard kickoff
return set the stage for the Rams
first touchdown in the second
quarter. Norm Van Brocklin hit
Tom Fears from 12 yards out for
a score. Later in the same quar
ter Van Brocklin tossed 30 yards
to Bob Boyd in the end zone for
another tally with only 14 sec
onds left in the half. Halftime
score was Redskins 17, Rams 14.
A 29-yard run by Corky Tharp
from a Van Brocklin pitchout
after three and a half minutes
of the third period put Los Ang

21-17.
But LeBaron quickly changed
that, leading the Skins in a 72-
yard touchdown drive during
which he tossed a long pass to
Carson for Washington's final
TD.

Medford's Cheney Studs, rid

week to keep out of the South

cellar.
The Studs are hosts Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon to
the third place Coquille Loggers.
It will be the last league series
for the Cheney nine and its last
appearance of the year at the
fairgrounds ball park here. .
Other week end series are
Bend at Drain and Bandon at
Roseburg. Cellarite Grants Pass
has a bye.
One victory is required by the
Studs this week to assure that
the Medford nine can't share the
basement with Grants Pass. Co
quille desperately needs a series
sweep to keep in the battle for
second spot of the circuit. Drain
has already sewn up the pennant
for the second year in a row,
adding the titles to ones pre
viously won in the old South
western Oregon loop.
On Upgrade
Coquille started rather strong
in the league then skidded a bit
but appeared to be on the up
grade after two wins over Ban
don. The Loggers swept three
games from Medford over the
Independence day holiday week
end and will be favorites again.
The coast area aggregation
will bring a strong pitching staff
here. Hurlers are Bill Pilgrim
out of the fast Texas League;
Alex Palica with Seattle last
year; Jim Lehl from University
of Oregon and with Brookings
last season and Bob Mallott, a
relative newcomer. Pilgrim, Pa

over Medford in the games at

Kansas City, Mo. (U.R)
Gangling Goose Tatum, the
world's most amazing basketball
player, shook his head nostalgi
cally today and said he'd "never
play with the Harlem Globetrot
ters again."
Tatum has been listed as miss
ing in action for about two
months by Trotter owner Abe
Saperstein, who wanted the
Goose to sign a 1955 contract.
But Tatum, who is living in
Kansas City now, has other
plans.
"Marcus Haynes and I got a
new basketball team, called the
Harlem Magicians," he said. "We
got all new players, a lot of col
lege all-stars and we already
got 160 games booked."
Last of Team
With the passing of the six-
foot-three clowning Tatum from
the Trotter roster goes the last of
the team which introduced bas
ketball showmanship to the rest
of the world. Haynes left in 1953
when he started his own team.
Most of the others have passed
from the active basketball scene.
Tatum, who admits to 35
years, played all of his 15 pro
fessional years with the Globe
trotters. He started with Haynes,
Sonny Boswell, Ted Strong, Babe
Pressley, Inman Jackson, and
Bennie Price In 1940. Only

Veterans Insurance
Renewals Possible
Veterans of the Korean con
flict who lost their World War
I or II GI term insurance polic
ies because their policies expir
ed within 120 days after their
discharge may now apply for
replacement of that term insur
ance under a new law, S. T.
Brannock, officer in charge of
the Medford office of the Veter
ans administration said today.
The right to restore the insur
ance is contained in Public Law
194, enacted by the 84th Con
gress, and signed by the Presi
dent on July 29, 1955.
Under this law, Brannock
said, veterans whose GI term in
surance expires after April 25,
1951, either while they are in
active service or within 120 days
after discharge, may replace
such insurance within 120 days
after discharge or within 120
days after July 29, 1955, which
ever is later.
Brannock called attention to
the fact that "120 days" and not
four months is specified in the
law. "There is a difference of a
few days that may mean your
insurance lapses for good," he
warned.
Veterans otherwise eligible
must file applications, meet good
health requirements and pay
premiums at their attained age
in order to qualify.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
Chamber President
Outlines Problems
Of City Merchants
"We have people 3 getting
down the sidewalks. How can
we get them into the stores?"
That was one of the questions
presented by John Pletsch. pres
ident of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce, yester
day in a talk to Medford Kiwan
iant at Rogue Valley County
club. Pletsch discussed the prob
lems faced by the chamber in
obtaining sales dollars for its
members. He outlined the or
ganization of the chamber with
its committees funneling activi
ties to one goal.
In addition to the "how," the
chamber president also men
tioned the "why" and the
"when" among the problems to
be worked out in getting sales
dollars. Hie questions include
why dollars are jiot being ob
tained and who is responsible
for getting them. Concerning
the "when," Pletsch declared
that "putting on a drive after
the horse is gone is no good."
Stating that something is
wrong after chamber activities
have been channeled to one
point, Pletsch brought up the
question of why people are not
interested in chamber member
ship. Lack of sales, he said, is
one thing which creates the
problem. He indicated that the
chamber does not have the or
ganization to carry on out ia
the aim for sales dollars.
Pletsch told of his policy this
year of "Let's Do Something."
He stressed that "the chamber
is 'you' and, since it is, we should
be serious about it."
