SPORTS Ira Edged By Lewis On PAL Boxing Card Fans who termed the Larry Lewis-Willie Ira bantamweight encounter the best fight of the recent northwest Golden Gloves tourney in Portland knew what they were talking about. That was shown Saturday night as Ira, Portlander and once a national AAU runner-up, took a unanimous, but very close, decision over his Medfrd rival in the Medford Police Athletic league's benefit boxing card at Hedrick Junior high. The tussle, fought in the semi windup spot, bordered on sensa tional, was the highlight of the evening and brought the biggest cheers from a crowd of some 1.200 spectators. First one and then the other of the two scrap pers had the advantage in the fistic pleaser. Ira won on the strength of his edge in the second panel. Main event saw Dick Lopez, Medford PAL, in command all the way against his substitute heavyweight opponent, Jim Cor win, Ashland. Lopez took the bout by technical knockout at 1:13 of the third round.

A lot of Lewis's punches went astray against the older Ira but the Medfordite staggered his adver sary in the final round. How ever, Ira shook off the damage and came storming back. Repeat Verdict In the main Corwin filled in for Hugh Williams. Portland, who did pot make the jaunt to Medford. The Ashlander was a finalist against Lopez in the Roseburg Golden Gloves. Blows and the pace of the Geronimo Kid in the third round were too much for Corwin and referee Smith called a halt to give Lopez a repeat victory. Moyer, clever at finding open ings against Green, had a de cisive edge as he landed frequent blows in the final round of the special. The Portland star also looked better in the first round. Green did well at the start of the second canto. A blow to the Roseburg youth's midsection, however, turned the tide and Moyer banged in several other telling pokes. In the bonus Christean dump ed Dusenberry to the canvas with a left hook and right cross five seconds before the bell of the second round.

"It will be a young team but one with potential strength. I understand what ruined the club last year was a poor start, but let our player coach, Johnny Jorgensen, tell you about that." Jorgensen blamed the team's second round trip in which the club lost 19 out of 22 games for the disastrous finish, declaring the players just couldn't over come that deficit.
