By FRED DOWN
United Pies Sports Writer
The Milwaukee Braves have
silenced their most severe crit
ics today with one of the fastest
starts in National league history
featured by five one-run victor
ies and a glittering 2.70 .staff
earned run average.
And, in the process, they are
threatening to turn the N.L. race
into a two-team fight with the
Brooklyn Dodgers instead of the
three and possibly four-team
struggle predicted by the ex
perts. The Dodgers, with a 7-3 i

in four starts for Yakima against
Salem.
Eugene wound up with an
even split in its series with We

Oregon ran its unbeaten North
ern Division track and field dual
meet record to 16 straight Sat

record, are the only other team
i.1 the league over .500 after two
weeks of play.
The Braves dealt the Cincin
lati Redlegs a staggering blow
over the weekend when they
made it six straight victories for
the season over them. Sunday's
3-2 triumph, in which 35-year-old
Red Murff picked up the
first win of his big league ca
reer, dropped the Ted Kluszew-ski-less
Redlegs three games un
der .500 and 5Vi games behind
the front-running Braves.
Murff, taking over from Tay-
Oregon Tech's Bob Brown
knocked over two of the track
marks when he covered the 1 00
yard dash in 9.8 seconds, and
toured the 220-yard dash in 22.4
seconds.
Hocerer Sets Two
Dick Hocevar of OTI also
shattered two of the SOC track
records when he .skimmed the
high and low hurdles in 15. 5
and 25.7 seconds.
Again it was an OTI entry
who won two events and set
new track, marks in each when
Jim King covered the mile in
4:31.3 and did the two mile in
10:49.
Other Tech entries setting
new marks were Joe Beimler,
who cleared the high jump bar
at 6 feet 2 inches and Frank
Wilson who sent the shotput
out for an even 42 feet, rounding
out a total of eight first place
for the visiting Owls. - -
Humboldt State copped three
first place ribbons, but had
enough seconds and thirds to
push Oregon Tech all the way.
Lumberjacks copping first
places were Jack Williams, who
ran the 440 in 53 flat; Bill Amos,
who circled the 880 in 2:05.1;
and Harvey Bardwin, who
leaped 22 feet 2 inches to win
the broadjump event. "

KYJC (1230 kc) at 6:05 p.m.

Chicago (U.R) Sugar Ray
Robinson's sharp hitting ham
mered down the odds today as
he finished boxing preparations
for Wednesday night's return
title fight with middleweight
champion Gene Fullmer.
Young Fullmer of West Jor
dan, Utah, is favored at only 2-1
to keep his 160-pound crown by
beating 36-year-old Robinson in
their 15-rounder at the Chicago
stadium. That's a remarkable
drop of six "points" from the
16-5 that prevailed over the
week end.
"And the price will go low
er," predicted one Chicago
bookie.
"Sugar Ray has been very im
pressive in training, but Fullmer
has been only so-so. The price
will go down to 7-5. There's
plenty of Robinson money show
ing now." .
Enthusiasm Mounts
As the odds dropped, enthusi
asm for the fight mounted rap
idly. Promoter Jim Norris, now
on the scene, said, "the ticket
sale is going so well I believe
we'll have a crowd of at least
14,000 and a gate of at least
S200.000."
In addition, the TV-radio re
ceipts will be $100,000. The bout
will be televised and broadcast
rationally, with a TV blackout
on a 150-mile radius from the
Stadium.
Although Robinson lost the
title to Fullmer on a unanimous
decision in their first fight at
Madison Square Garden,-Jan. 2,
he is so confident of victory this
time he has bet $2,000 on him
self. Robinson was slated for two
final rounds of leather-tossing at
Coulon's gym today. Meanwhile
