MEDFORDIIjTRIBUNE iChicago Wants ;Pan Am Games -' Chicago KU.R) The city of Chicago has reaffirmed its de !sire to hold the 1959 Pan Ameri--- can games on the shores of Lake Michigan and said it has the ; money necessary for the track ;and field event which official- Jly designated Cleveland doesn't have. The Lake Erie city, designated host city for the game by the Pan American Sports Congress , executive committee, counted on a five-million dollar federal ap- propriation for "proper financ ing" of the games. ' Only Hope Not so Chicago. A spokesman for the city government said " ; Chicago had all the money neces ijsary and plenty of facilities in , t which to hold the gigantic ath--Metic event. "Chicago will be highly hon-I-ored to be selected as the city " for the locale of the games," . Mayor Richard J. Daley said. With Cleveland's lack of ! funds, the Windy City looked as ; I if it were the only hope of hold- ing the games in the United -States. In Washington, it was report ; : ed a House Appropriations sub- . committee would not recom- -mend a federal appropriation -.for the games. . PACKERS LOSING LOSCH halfback Jack Losch to Uncle Sam.

Tornado Thinclads Qualify For Hayward Relay Berths Time trials for the races and field event qualifications were scheduled this afternoon by the Medford High School track con tingent to determine berths on the Black Tornado squad for the 20th annual Hayward re lays at Eugene. Medford will defend its cham pionship in the metropolitan class on Saturday. Entry of 21 other schools is anticipated in the division. the thinclads from the titular Moyer Advances In National AAU Mitt Tourney Boston (U.R) Denny Moy er of Portland jabbed and counter-punched, to a unanimous de cision over Ward Sullivan of Little Rock, Ark., in a 156-pound quarter-final at the National AAU Boxine championships here Tuesday night. John White of Portland also advanced to the semi-finals with a decision over Paul Sullivan of Boston in the 132-pound class. Boston' (U.R) Defending champions Albert Pell of N e w York City and Jim McCarter of Seattle, Wash., will lead 34 of the nation's best amateur fight ers into tonights semi-finals and finals of the National AAU box ing championships at the Gar den. Pell, a cat-quick Negro with a talented pair of hands, will meet Bob LeFebre of Winooski, Vt., in the finals of the 112 pound division. Bruising heavy weight McCarter is set for a semi-final match in the tourney's 69th annual competition. 10 Champions Champions will be crowned in 10 weight divisions from 112- pounds to heavyweight as the three-day show comes to a close. The slender Pell scored a un animous decision over aggressive Cyril Woodland of Philadelphia Tuesday night in his semi-final bout at the arena. LeFebre split decisioned Dick Johnson of Kearney, Neb., Le Febre is a member of the Al bany, N.Y., AAU team. McCarter won a split decision over Lamar Clark of Ogden, Ut ah, in his quarter-final round after drawing a bye in Monday night's action. Taylor's Score High in Shoot Chuck Taylor of Central Point led the riflemen at the weekly shoot of Phoenix Gun club with a healthy 388 out of 400 in the four position rivalry." In second place was Pete Char ley with 384. Third was Neal Tripp also with 384 but with lower off hand score which broke the tie. This was Tripp's highest score of the year. Jim Bolton was fourth with 380 and Marty Perreard fifth with 379. Only-18 -shooters participated. The officers' of the club pointed out that guns are available at the range and that any- one inter ested in shooting is welcome. Lt. Gen. Floyd L. Parks, USA (Ret'd),. executive director of National Rifle association, will pay a visit on Tuesday, May 7. The club will endeavor to have an intercity meeting so all the NRA members ' and the public can meet him. school will have to earn their spots in the Eugene meet, coach Bob Newland has indicated. However, the crew should be about the same as that which regained the Rogue relay cham pionship for Medford last week end. Newland reported all of his squad is in good shape as of last night with the exception of shut tle hurler and 440-yard relay man Terry Hamilton. He turned his ankle during practice Mon day. So far as the shuttles are concerned, Mike Stevens, Fred Funston and Henry Courtney were to be battling today with Jerry Close and Wally Larson tor the three positions. Keen Competition While Medford has the role of favorite, it can expect some keen competition for the Hay ward crown from Grants Pass, second in the Rogues, and from such other schools as Eugene, Beaverton, Albany, North and South Salem and Fort Vancou ver and Hudson Bay Heights of Vancouver, Washington. Jeffer-. son of Portland will have a siz able entry and thereby be a con tender. But only the top per formers in last week end's Port land relays will attend and most of the schools from the Oregon metropolis wil have limited en tries. Comparison of three relay meets held in the state last week end show Medford with the best performances in the six events it won in the Rogue tussle. It's still hard to predict what this week will bring. The Tornado barely won the shuttles from GP and, if Jim Maryott, the Cavemen's No. 1 hurdler; is back the Tornado will have a big chillenge in that event. Maryott was sidelined from the Rogues because of a knee in jury. GP Has Two Best The results showed GP last week with two of the best marks in the state in events it won here. Jefferson of Portland and GP were shown for the same times in the 440 in separate meets. Lincoln of Portland had a better time by .1 of a second in the distance medley and had an even faster time this season. In all some 1250 athletes are expected to vie in the two-day track carnival at Eugene. On Saturday Klamath Falls joins Grants Pass and Medford as southern Oregon representa tives in the metro group. Ash land and Crater are entered in Class A. In B class Friday likely southern Oregon entrants are Eagle Point, Phoenix and Illi nois Valley.
