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

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.

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.

Walt's Wins Again; YMC A Tops Lodge
Walt's Lithia Motors of Ash

its eighth straight win in one
of two lopsided struggles last

ball association.
The Lithians smacked Cour
tesy Chevrolet 13 to 1 while the
YMCA Ysmen smothered De
Molay 23 to 5.
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.
