Mickey's performance, which lunuuea ms .jzna nomer and a pair of singles, raised his batting ; average five points to .384. He still trailed Williams, who boost . ed his league-leading mark one point to .333 with a single and ; two walks in four trips. Big Frank Sullivan was the ; victim of Mantle's homer which came In the eighth inning with one on and wiped out Boston's . 2-1 lead.

SP 2-7119 Heavyweight Bout Called Worst Thing By DAN HANLLEY JR. Milwaukee, Wis. IOT Former heavyweight champion Joe Louis said today the "worst thing ever to happen to boxing" will be the Aug. 22 meeting be tween heavyweight title-holder Floyd Patterson and Olympic king Pete Rademacher for the "championship of the world." Louis, who holds a place in the boxing "hall of fame," said the bout "is the worst mismatch in boxing history," out-doing Patterson's first title defense against Hurrican Jackson "for bad matching." Louis, who was the most vic torious heavyweight title de fender in history, said Patterson was bringing "shame to his crown" by agreeing to .fight the 28-year-old Rademacher, who'll be making his professional debut at Seattle. Never Would Do It "I would never have done a think like that," said the Brown Bomber of the 1940's, "and neither would any other cham pion in boxing." "The National Boxing associa tion should withdraw its recogni tion of the Washington state box ing commission," said Louis, who is here to plug Mercury rec ords. "The NBA will be a sorry body cf men if they recbgnize that fight." Fred Saddy, chairman of the NBA's rating committee, said the association has "no right to interfere with Washington's state autonomy" in this matter. "Besides." said Saddy. "if Rademacher would accidentally win. and it would have to be by accident as far as I can see, the NBA would look foolish by con demning Washington's boxing commission." Lane Coach At Lincoln Portland IP) Leo Lane, 31, who has been head basket ball and track coach at Pilot Rock high school for the past year, today .was named head track coach at Lincoln high of Portland, replacing Don Bryant who resigned at the end of the last season. Lane, a University of Oregon graduate, had also coached at Baker, Alsea and Monmouth. ed the Tigers to their opening game victory over the Athletics. Paul Foytack, lifted in the 8th inning after Lou Skizas' homer, won his 13th game as Kansas City's fourth - game winning screak came to an end. Pinch Single Wins Hector Lopez' 14th inning pinch single gave the Athletics the nightcap triumph. Lopez' hit came off Jim Bunning, Detroit's fourth pitcher, but rookie Bob Shaw was the loser. Tom Mor gan gained his eighth victory of the year and third in four days. Kaline and Skizas homered again in the nightcap, and Vic Power also hit a homer. Lew Burdette batted in four runs with two home runs to help the Braves gain their 12th victory in 14 meetings with the Redlegs this year. Both of Bur dette's homers came off loser Joe Nuxhall, the second homer coming with two men on in the sixth inning to break a 4-4 tie. Red Schoendienst and George Crowe also hit homers. No-Hit Relief Ruben Gomez of the Giants pitched no-hit ball over the last six innings to beat the Dodgers for the third time this season and score his 13th victory of the campaign. The Giants knocked out starter Sal Maglie in the third inning and then snapped a string of 13 23 in nings of scoreless relief innings by Ed Roebuck when they push ed over two runs in the fifth inning. Charley Neal homered for the Brooks. Bill Mazeroski hit a two- run homer for the Pirates and drove in a total of four runs to help Friend post his eighth victory against 15 defeats.

The Cheney crew has been outstanding for its extra-base rapping this seeason. Prominent among the Sox hit ters is massive Ron Bowen who has homered in three of the clubs. Drain this year has played an independent schedule while Medford has been a member of the Rogue Valley league. The Black Sox are currently in the Oregon tournament of the Amer ican Amateur Baseball congress and are one of the favorites in that play-off. Adding to the flavor of to night's ruckus is traditional rivalry. The teams were foes in the former Southwestern Ore gon league and in the suspended Southern Oregon league, which it is hoped will be revived in 1958. Medford is the unbeaten lead er in the RVL and will attempt to end the regular league slate with a clean record next Sun d a y against Ashland-Talent here.

Clarence McMurtry, Pat's father, and manager, sent word that his son would remain in Ta coma to train for the postponed bout, despite urging by Portland Boxing commisison officials to return here. Moyer said that if McMurtry trained here he could help boost interest, and thus attendance, at the iight. "What's the matter with the guy," he -said. "I guar anteed him $10,000 with a privi lege of 25' per cent and he won't even come down here to help us set a new attendance record."
