destroyed bv fire Friday night
in the game management area
on Rogue river north of white
City.
Central Point rural firemen,

Relief Drivers To Be
Allowed in
Auto Marathon Here
Relief drivers will be allow-1
ed during the 24-hour all-Pacific
coast marathon hard-top rac
es to be held in Medford, Sept.
4 and 5, members of the rules
committee have decided.
Originally, the Medford Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce, the
sponsoring organization, and the
Southern Oregon race club had
announced that the $2,500 race
would allow no relief drivers in
the marathon grind.
The change was made In the
interest of safety and a faster
race, the committee stated. As
the race is now set, one relief
driver may be registered for
each of the 40 qualifying cars
in the big event. Relief may be
asked as often as a driver feels
the need.
First prize money in the lap
race will be $1,000, with small
er cash prizes for other place
winners as well as prizes for
the fastest laps run. Drivers
from many Pacific coast towns
will enter the novel race.
Committeemen have reported
considerable interest on the part
of drivers from outside this
area. Many inquiries have been
made. Racers from Pendleton,
the Salem-Eugene area and Red
ding, Calif., have indicated that
their top cars are being sent
The top three point cars from
Redding reportedly are coming
40 In Race
Drivers from Roseburg, Kla
math Falls, Gold Beach, . and
Eureka, Calif., are almost cer
tain to be here.
Medford Jaycees foresee an
entry of 150 autos. Only 40 of
these will be in the marathon
Qualifying rounds are slated for
Saturday night, September 3,
Fast times will determine the
40 main race entries.

Rich broke up the Little

World Series Friday when his
seventh-inning home run gave
Morrisville, Pa., a 4-3 victory
over Delaware Township, N. J.
but up until game time it didn't
look like he'd even play.
Rich had injured his right
hand on Thursday while playing
with some of his teammates and
Manager Dan Poland did not
want to take the chance of let
ting the boy catch. At the last
moment, however, Poland de
cided to let Rich play right

team's best hitters.
Rich conceded the' hand hurt

when he picked out a pitch by
Tom Trotman and drilled it into
the left field stands.

Olson Verdict Unpopular;
Giambra Earns Title Shot
San Francisco (U.R) A new
star glistened over the fight
world today in the person of
Joey Giambra, a humble soldier
from Buffalo, N. Y., who earned
a shot at Bobo Olson's middle
weight title although he lost an
unpopular 10-round decision to
the balding titlist.
Olson scored a unanimous de
cision over Giambra Friday night
in a nationally televised bout at
the Cow Palace, but the verdict
was loudly booed and King Bobo
must have felt like a stranger in
the town which used to idolize
him.
The eate was announced at
7,000 with a gross of $22,000.
Right after the fight the IBC
announced that Olson and Gi-
mbra will meet for the title in
January or February, providing

artistic Giambra, who jarred tne
champ with a solid right to the
head in the second round and
shook him up badly.
At first, the rabidly pro-Gian?-
bra crowd thought an upset was
in the making as Joey made Ol
son look bad missing, then laced
him with hard right uppercuts to
the head and body.
But the private from Fort
Hood, Tex., began to tire in the
fourth round and easily was
shoved against the ropes by an
angry Olson who would pound
his mid-section with his feared
body blows
Referee Jack Downey voted
