New York W Middleweight
Gene (Ace) Armstrong, a stack
er in a gin distillery at Eliza
beth, N.J., was in excellent spir
its today because his 12th
straight professional victory has
assured a future fight with ex
contender Randy Sandy.
Unbeaten Gene scored a tech
nical knockout over Eddie (Ma
chine Gun) Thompson of New
York in their TV fight at St.
Nicholas arena: Monday night.
Referee Petey Scalzo stopped it
at the end of the seventh round
because Thompson was bleeding
badly from his left brow and his
nose.
It was Eddie's first defeat in
14 professional bouts.
Armstrong weighed 15334
pounds to Thompson's 156?4.

Cleveland's board of directors
is composed of 13 men. includ

to control about 20 per cent of

The Cleveland News quoted
unidentified directors as saying
they will vote against renewal

the ball on the 15-yard stripe.
Medford also threatened in
the first quarter. A fumble re
covery was responsible for the
bid but Crater held for downs
on the two-yard line.
See-Saw Half
The secomi half was a see
saw battle with neither club
reaching the shadows of the
rival goal posts. The Comets
made it to the Tornado 29 after
the halftime kick-off but fum
bled away the chance. Medford
got to the Comet 34 before punt
ing on fourth down. Crater then
fought from its 15 up to the
Medford 46 before being stopped
on downs.
Bob Eckel of Medford recov
ered two Crater muffs in the
second half. Medford's most con
sistent gains were up the mid
dle with Cranston lugging the
leather.
While the junior Tornado
stayed on the ground during the
latter stages of the game, the
Comets took to the air on six
of their plays during their last
three turns with the ball. Den
nis Pfaff completed three for
21 yards. His passes on a couple
of occasions were dright in,
receivers' hands and were
dropped.

Eastern league.
"This club hasn't gone to the
woods," Stengel insisted. 'Don't
let anyone try to tell you that
this ship has sunk."
The two players regarded to
have the best chance of making
the Yankees next year are Sie
bern, who was with the club
during part of the 1956 season,
and Duren, who had a 13-2 rec
ord with 116 strikeouts at Den
ver. "We had to send Siebern back
to the minors because he needed
more experience, but his work
in the Association was sensation
al," the Yankee manager said.
"He has the stuff to win the left
field job."
Siebern batted .349 and hit 24
homers with Denver.
Regarding Duren, Stengel said
the bespectacled right-hander
throws as hard as Bob Turley.
Among the other conversa
tional items Stengel offered
were these:
He is looking for standbys for
both Yogi Berra and Bill Skow

Sports 11 Victories
Phil Moyer 'will have his work
cut ouf for himself when he
steps into the ring with Roy Ray
at Hedrick junior high gym in
Medford next Saturday night.
Ray, a San Francisco middle
weight, is a veteran of 22 fights
against some of the country's
best 160-pounders. He started
boxing in 1951 and took three
years out to serve a hitch in the
U. S. Navy, where he was phy
sical education instructor.
He has chalked up 11 victor
ies, five by knockouts; has lost
seven and had four draws.
Among his opponents have been
Bobby Jones, Garth Panter,
Cliff Schellin, Joey Giambra, Al
Andrews, Billy Lanza and Wil

was a four-round knockout of
Red Lite at Richmond, Calif.,
on Oct. 4.

aggressive fighter who doesn't
give his opponent a chance to
catch his breath. Ray, who was
born in Tuscarora, Ala., on Dec.
5, 1934, is trained and managed
by Mario Musati and Billy New
man in San Francisco.
Moyer, on the other hands,
has had only four professional
fights, winning them all. He has
a long string of amateur suc
cesses, being one of the north
west's best known simon-pures
before joining the pro ranks.
Moyer has been signed to box
a main event at Hollywood Le

can get over Ray.

The top four-rounder will send
Kenny Dixon of Klamath Falls
against Jack Raxter of Portland.
Johnny Davis, Ashland, will
meet Ruggles Larson of Seattle
and an opponent is yet to be
signed to meet Hugh Williams
of Portland.

Top Golfers
'Teed Off
At Cuppers
San Francisco (IP) Two of
America's greatest golfers teed
off on the method of choosing
the Ryder Cup team Monday
night, declaring they could "pick
a better team with our eyes
shut."
Jimmy Demaret and Sam
Snead en route to Tokyo to rep
resent the United States in the
International Trophy matches,
said the recent U. S. team which
suffered 'defeat at the hands of
the British for the first time in
almost a quarter century was
"poorly selected.'"
Both Snead and Demart crit
icized the PGA method of selec
ting the Ryder Cup team. As an
example, Snead pointed out the
fact that "Ted Kroll made the
team twice although he hadn't
won a tournament."
"How could they send abroad
a team which left off Snead and
Cary Middlecoff, two of our top
players?" asked Demaret, who
also failed to make the team.

LOUISVILLE. KY, DISTRIBUTED BY KAIJOJWL
Sid Flaherty Removed
From Cal Black List,
Plans SF Fiqht Soon
San Francisco HP) Sid Fla
herty was back in good standing
today as a manager in Califor
nia amid speculation that Eddie
Machen, -his top-ranked heavy
weight contender, will fight
Hurrican Jackson here on Nov.
13.
Dr. Dan O. Kilroy, chairman
of the California State Athletic
commission which was re
vamped last year after a state
probe into the fight game, dis
closed Monday that Flaherty
was granted a new license when
it was established that he no
longer would break the rules.
"The commission received a
wire over the week end from the
International Boxing club stat
ing that Flaherty no longer has
business connection with the
IBC as a promoter," Kilroy said.
"It was a clean bill of health. I
don't see how boxing in Califor
nia . can be otherwise than
helped now that Flaherty has a
license to manage here again."
The chilly-eyed Irishman
blandly told a state committee
in April of 1956 that he was
breaking such state rules as
doubling as promoter and man
ager and filling some cards with
more of his fighters than the
law allows. Committee Counsel
James E. Cox recommended
that Flaherty be heavily fined
but the commission did not have
the power to levy one at that
time.
Flaherty then moved his sta
ble to his ranch near Browns
vile, Ore., and failed to apply
for a California license until last
Wednesday when the commis
sion took his bid under advise
ment. In the meantime, Flaher
ty had concentrated most of his
bouts in Portland, Ore., with
several nationally televised
shows from other parts of the
country involving Machen.

General Manager
Portland (IP)
An official
announcement naming Tommy
Heath as combination field man
ager and general manager of, the
Portland Beaver baseball club
was expected today.
The Board of Directors of the
Portland club met Monday but
afterwards President G. A.
Kingsley would admit only that
Heath was one of three candi
dates for the position.
Heath resigned last Saturday
as field manager of the Sacra
mento club amid speculation he
was headed for Portland.
The Beavers also announced
that the Chicago Cubs had re
assigned first baseman Joe Mac
ko to Portland. Macko hit only
.212 in 22 games for Portland
last season before being sent to
Louisville where he hit .227 in
61 games. t

Kentucky quality. Nowadays, too, discriminating drinkers everywhere
enjoy Sunny Brook's mild and mellow bourbon character.

and clean or I don't want to
operate in the state," Flaherty
declared before the commission
last Wednesday.
Monday he told the United
Press in Brownsville that he
would operate in California
"when the opportunity presents
itself," but would retain his
headquarters in Brownsville.
The talk along fight row is
that Machen will meet Jackson
at the Cow Palance Nov. 13 al
though matchmaker B e n n i e
Ford said he didn't know who
the boxer would face.
Jackson was stopped by Floyd
Patterson this summer in the
10th round of a world title bout
in New York and then taken to
the hospital for observation.
