Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, July J, 1957 Yankees, Redlegs in Front On 4th of July; Now Hope For Axiom To Be Fulfilled By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The Cincinnati Redlegs ver ms the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series. That's the prediction today from baseball's most famous "crystal ball" the old axiom that the teams leading the ma jor leagues on the Fourth of July will win the pennants. And the whammy has been getting stronger in recent years. Cincinnati clung to the top rung in the NL on the holiday despite a 10-7 slugfest loss to Milwaukee. The cards fumbled a chance to take first place at the milestone by losing the first game of a twin bill to Chicago, 7-6, before winning, 4-3. Brook lyn also split, losing to Pitts burgh 5-1 before winning 8-2, but Philadelphia swept the Giants, 2-1 and 6-2. The Yankees protected their AL margin by winning, 4-1 after losing, 3-2. The White Sox blew a 5-4 decision to Kansas City before winning, 8-3. Cleve land downed Detroit. 3-1. but then lost, 4-3. In a single game, Baltimore beat Washington, 3-2, in 11 innings. Xmi Hits No. 26 ftm Braves had 14 hits and t!f ledlegs 17 in a single game. Hanjk Aaron slammed his 26th hontor, the majors' tops, plus mo eoebles and Ed Mathews hit 17th, while George Crc had five straight hits for th teds, including two homers, to drive i six runs. Don Larsen's f i v e-hitter, marred only by Mickey Ver non's homer, gave the Yankees their second-game win the sec t)gd straight complete-game win for the "perfect game" hero who got off to a sour start this year. Vernon hit another homer in the first game a pinch-hit, two-out, two-run job in the ninth inning off Bob Grim to snatch victory from defeat. The A's beat the white Sox in the pre-lunch half of their morning-afternoon twin bill by rallying for five runs in the last of the ninth. The Sox made sure of the second with 15 hits as Bob Keegan scattered 11 A's' hits to win. Wynn Tosse Three Hitter Early Wynn tossed a three hitter for the Indians in their opener to tie for top winning honors in the majors with his 11th victory as Rocky Colavito smashed a three-run homer. But Charley Maxwell singled home two runs in the ninth inning to give Detroit the second game. Baltimore rallied for a run in the last of the ninth to tie Wash ington, 2-2, and then won in the 11th when Jim Brideweser sin gled home a run with two out off reliever Truman Clevenger. The Cubs rallied for two runs in the last of the ninth to beat the Cards in their opener, a game finished by the Cards under pro test over a "safe" call at first base on a Chicago runner who later scored. Sam Jones' six hitter gave the Cards the night cap despite two homers by Dale Long. Bob Friend's seven-hitter gave the Pirates their opener against rVooklyn, but Don Newcombe scattered nine hits to take the nightcap as Duke Snider bagged three hits, including homer No. 16. Harvey Haddix beat the Giants for the Phils in their opener on i eight-hitter as Rip Repulski's homer supplied his winning run, and lefty Curt gimmons took the nightcap although he needed ninth-inning relief after two-hit shutout ball for eight frames.

Jack Hurley Not Kidding About Championship Bout By ELDON BARRETT United Press Sports Writer Seattle, Wash. IB The 'wisp of man with the falcon face focused his cold, concrete stare on the inquiring reporter. The reporter, in turn, glanced appre hensively about the hotel room. But there was no place to hide. Finally, the featherweight stepped into the middle of the room and exploded with a ver bal uppercut: "Publicity stunt Publicity stunt! Anybody who says a quarter of a million dol lars is a publicity stunt doesn't know what he's talking about." The man with the steely stare and the vitriolic voice was Jack Hurley, personification of the Seattle Boxing club, the one man show which plans to stage a heavyweight tilte fight here between Champion Floyd Pat terson of New York and the Olympic-crowned Pete Rade macher of Grandview, Wash. "Let me tell you something," Hurley snapped. "I'm in the fight game to make money, not get my name in the papers. Sure, we need publicity. But what fight doesn't. "Does someone think I'm kid ding about this?" His arm moved in a grandoise sweep in the direction of a bed strewn with letters, dummys for pro gram layouts, photographs of the two fighters and a sketch ot the Seattle Rainiers' baseball stadium where the proposed bat tle would be staged Aug. 22 if Patterson gets by Hurricane Jackson three weeks earlier. Monetary Support Hurley picked up three checks out of a pile on the bed. "Look here," he commanded. "These came before we even had decided on a site or a date. One for S40, another for S60. And here's one for $180. The guy who sent this one thought the seats would go for $30 top in stead of $20. "The governor Albert D. Ros ellini phoned today and asked for a block of eight at ringside. The people want this fight whether Julius Helfand New York State's boxing commission er or the National Boxing as sociation does or not." The telephone rang. Hurley lifted the receiver and barked, "Hello!" He listened intently, his long, slim fingers combing through his thinning gray hair. Finally, he spoke: "Listen, neither the NBA nor the New York commission has got any right to tell us how we should conduct our business out here in Washington State. Our commissioners have given the green light and we don't have to take orders from a bunch of Eastern politicians." He hung up the receiver, turn ed and once again focused his penetrating gaze on the inter viewer. There still was no place to hide.

Well, let me say this: "I've been around the fight game a long time. That's my business. I know what I see and what I can see I can figure. Rademacher is no amateur, even though he hasn't been paid a penny. He fights like a pro and he acts like a pro. "And just exactly what is Patterson? I'll tell you. Patter son is a light-heavyweight who beat a light-heavy for the crown after beating another light heavy for a crack at the title. Patterson- weighs about 178. Rademacher weighs 210. Patter son is 21 years old. Rademacher is 28. "Furthermore, this rumor that Rademacher has a glass chin is a bunch of hogwash. The rec ord shows that. Patterson has awfully fast hands, but Rade macher is thinking every min ute. Patterson won't find an easy mark. I don't care what they say." Hurley paced across the room. "And another thing . . . Just then the telephone rang again. The reporter excused himself and left the room ear weary, but saved by the bell. foot fir log in twq minutes, 21.S seconds.
