Arch Moore Ranked Top Heavyweight Milwaukee, Wis U.R Ag ine Archie Moore today was rat ed as the top candidate for the heavyweight crown Rocky Mar- ciano wore .until his recent re tirement. Trailing Moore as contenders for the vacant title in the Na tional Boxing association ratings were Floyd Patterson and Bob Baker, in that order. Fred J. Saddy, Milwaukee, chairman of the NBA Rating committee, said in announcing the quarterly ratings that Pat terson gained his rating by beat ing Thomas Jackson and Baker by defeating John Holman in elimination fights. Cautioned "There has been considerable talk of a Moore-Patternson fight for Marciano's crown," Saddy aid. but he cautioned match makers should take "particular care" in slating such a bout due to Patterson' hand injury. "No state boxing commission should permit Patterson to fight for the championship unless he has fully recovered from his in jury," Saddy said. The NBA chairman said that Moore was listed as the logical contender due to his past record. Heavyweights given honorable mention were John Holman of Illinois. Bob Satterfield of Illi nois, Johnny Summerlin of Michizan. Harold Carter of New Jersey, Igemor Johannson of Sweden. Eddie Machen of Cali fornia and Nino Valdez of Cuba.

MEDFORlVivTRIBUNE SIPODITCTr Burgess Raps 3-Run Homer For Redlegs' Fifth Straight Win Special Eugene Meet Eyed for Olympic Team Los Angeles (U.PJ Plans were being made today to in vite the United States Olympic games team to Eugene, Ore., on Aug. 25 for a special meet which would, among other things, help raise money for the team. A committee of Eugene citi zens was to present plans to the U.S. Olympic, track and field committee here Sunday. Mem bers pointed out the meet also would offer competition or team members in the long layoff be tween the trials and the games in Australia. Eugene Active club members were reported to have raised more than $15,000 to underwrite expenses. By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the Cincinnati Redlegs is play ing such a "hot hand" these days that he can come up with a game-winning home by bench ing the National League's All SUi catcher. Tebbetts did just that Thurs day night when he decided to let Ed Bailey, newfy-elected to the All-Star squad by the fans' vote, sit out a game in favor of stumpy, 29-year-old Smokey Bur gess. It turned out to be the winning move, too, when Bur gess walloped a three-run, eighth inning homer that gave the Red legs a 4-3 victory over the Pitts burgh Pirates. The blast gave the Redlegs their fifth straight triumph and lifted them to within six per centage points of the idle first- place Milwaukee Braves. It also marked the slumping Pirates' 11th defeat in 12 games arid dropped them a game and a half behind fourth-place St. Louis. No Idl Kunch It was no idle "hunch" move that caused "Tebbetts to substi tute Burgess for Bailey. Although nominally the Redlegs' reserve catcher. Burgess is out-hittmg every "regular" receiver in the circuit except Bailey, Stan Lo- pata and Bill Sarni. The homer was his fifth of the season and he has knocked in 25 runs in 29 games compared to Bailey's 29 RBIs in 51 games. Together, Bailey and Burgess have a composite batting aver age of .315, 18 homers and have driven in 54 runs. So, it might be wise for the National League to add still another Redleg to its All-Star squad in the person of Cincinnati's "second - string catcher." Tom Acker, who pitched only one inning, received credit for his first victory of the year while Luis Arroyo suffered his second loss. Burgess' homer was the 100th of the year for the Red- legs, who will break the 1947 New York Giants' all-time mark of 221 at their current pace. Giants Down Dodgers t The Giants shook off their last-place doldrums at least for a night when they walloped four homers in downing the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-3. in the other Nation al League game. Foster Castle- man, Jackie Brandt, Bill White IT'S THE TRUE VODKA it's breathlessly light . . . delightfully dry and Daryl Spencer homered for the Giants, who beat their arch- rivals for only the second time in seven meetings. Junior Gil liam homered for the Dodgers, who had a three-game winning streak ended. Harvey Kuenn, who went to bat for Detroit Manager Bucky Harris in a recent radio broad cast, did it in even more concrete fashion with two homers that sparked the Tigers to a 4-0 tri umph over the Kansas City Ath letics. The victory snapped a 10- game losing streak for the Tigers, who hadn't won since June 15 in a slump that placed Harris' job in peril. Kuenn homered in the third and eighth innings and the Tigers then added two more runs in the ninth. Virgil Trucks went the distance, limiting the Athletics to six hits in gaining his third win while Jack McMahan, re cently acquired from the Pirates, suffered the defeat.

Portland Clips Suds Again; Stars Twinkle By DON THACKEHY United Press Sports Writer The Hollywood Stars, who have been feeling their oats in the Pacific Coast League for several-weeks get a fine chance to make hay by starlight tonight. The Stars dropped San Fran cisco twice xnursaay nigm to move within eight games of the top. And while Los Angeles and Seattle battle it out for the king spot, the Stars take on Sacra mento in another first division battle. The Stars fell on San Fran cisco 11-4 and 10-9 Thursday night, spotting the spotty Seals a 7-0 lead in the second game and winning it in the bottom of the ninth. Los Angeles moved to within a game of the top by beating Vancouver 7-3 while Portland made it three straight over Se attle with a 2-0 win. San Diego edged Sacramento 3-2 in the other game. Trimble Coasts Hollywood got three in the first and five in the third of the first game. In the second one the Seals went ahead 7-0, then behind 8-7, then tied it at 8-8 and again at 9-9. In the bottom of the ninth an error put the winning run aboard and R. C. Stevens dou bled, letting Bill Mazercski go to third from whence he scored on Jim Baumer's fly.' Rene Valdes blanked the league leading Rainiers on 11 hits and Luis Marquez supplied him with all he needed with a two-run homer in the fourth. The Beavers got only five hits off Howie Judson and Bill Kennedy. Los Angeles came back from a double defeat at the hands of the rising Vancouver Mountles and rolled to seven runs on 11 hits. Ed Erautt got the win for San Diego after the Solons had downed the Padres three straight times. Sullivan: Ravdon. Garber (21, Donoso (6). O OonneU (9) and Naton.

Walt's Wins Again; YMC A Tops Lodge Walt's Lithia Motors of Ash land kept its record clean with its eighth straight win in one of two lopsided struggles last night in the Jackson County Soft ball association.

While Waifs retained its top spot, Courtesy's set back made a four-way tie among the Chevs, Crater Lake Motors, Bill's Chev ron and Medford Auto Uphol stery. The Ysmen scored their second loop victory and De Molay, yet to win a game, was beaten for the seventh time. YMCA scored six runs in the third inning and five each in the second and fourth.
