Humez Rules As Favorite New York (U.R) French man Charles Humez, middle weight champion of Europe, and Utah's Gene Fullmer, outstand ing American contender, fight tonight in Madison Square Gar den for the right to a shot at the world crown. ' Humez, 29, is favored at 13 10 to win their nationally tele vised and broadcast 10-rounder, which starts at 6 p.m. (PST). Fullmer, 24, has been well supported in the heavy betting, which was at "even money" until Wednesday night, when veteran Humez began to forge ahead because of his great ex perience, smoother boxing and higher world-rating. Ranked The Frenchman is ranked number one; Fullmer number two. Exceptionally brisk wagering was inspired by the fact that each fought the same opponent, Ralph Tiger Jones, in his last start; and the pell-mell pum meller from West Jordan, Utah, did better than the more stylish bob-weaver from France. In his American debut on March 23, Humez lost a decision to Jones. It snapped his unbeaten string at 18. But on April 20, Fullmer outpointed Jones. Delaware Gets Play-Off Berth Swarthmore, Pa.

C 84 PROOF. Day Article In Argosy John S. Day, Medford rancher and iportsman-author, relates how he made movies of a charg ing Kodiak bear in an article published in the June issue of Argosy magazine. The article is illustrated with some of the pic tures, and the cover of the maga zine is keyed to the article, fea turing a drawing of a bear. The article grew out of a con versation with Harry Steeger, editor of Argosy, during en Ex plorers' club dinner in New York about a year ago. One of the dinner guests had insisted that black bear and grizzlies will charge a man, but that "bornies"' do not. Day argued that they did, hav ing heard stories of such charges related by Alaskan guides and hunters, and at length Steeger said he would like to have pic tures of a Kodiak bear during a charge. In the Argosy article author Day describes how the pictures were made and. how close he was to having a first hand "encounter" with the ani mal. The editorial introduction to the article states "Never before has a giant Kodiak killer been photographed so close in full charge." Steeger also refers to the dinner conversation and article in his column, "Hunting with Breeze-Shooters," adding that Day planned to return to Alaska in an effort to locate "the largest of all Kodiak bears." The author-hunter left recent ly for Alaska. January Leads Dallas Tourney Dallas, Tex.

May 25, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Sisters Nips Talent in B Quarter Final A splurge of five runs came1 at a time when defeat seemed im minent yesterday afternoon and propelled the Sisters Outlaws into a berth in the semi-finals of the eliminations deciding the Oregon Class B high school base ball championship. The five markers in the seventh inning earned the Out laws, titlists in District 6B, a 7 to 6 nod over the Talent high Bulldogs, who had taken the 5B crown three consecutive years.

In the seventh inning hitting turn of the Sisters contingent, five straight swatters recorded one-base blows. The Outlaws combined the raps with a bases on balls, an error, a passed ball and a ground out for the five big runs. Sisters' ace hurler, . Willis Winkle, held the Bulldogs to six hits over the route but Talent was able to use four of them along with Outlaws to build up its four run lead. Bulldogs Score Two errors and a sacrifice bunt by Bob Hoffman were re sponsible for a second frame Bulldog tally. Sisters came back in the fourth with two counters on three Talent misplays, a stolen base and a single by Dave Ullman. In the bottom of the fourth panel hits by Hoffman and Skip Walls, an error and walk pro duce two scores for a 3 to 2 Talent edge.

Another Outlaw chance to tally fizzled when Bill Moss singled with two men on and two out in sixth canto.
