Newspaper Page TextSPORTS Martinez Choice Over Gil Turner New York (IP) Vince Martinez is favored at 7-5 to beat Gil Turner Wednesday night at the Philadelphia arena in their 12-round wel terweight elimination, which features this week's boxing schedule. This nationally televised ABC bout between counter puncher Martinez of Pater son, IC.J., and aggressive Tur ner of Philadelphia is the second in an elimination ser ies for the vacant welter weight crown. Cuban Isaac Logart beat Mexican Gaspar Ortega in the first. Turner, 27, forces the pace and throws the most leather; but Martinez, 23, is the smart er fighter and harder punch' er. Turner's 35 knockouts in his 55-15-1 record were ach ievea largely by wearing down his opponents. Martin' ez's 30 kayoes on his 58-5-0 list were largely the result of blasting. Johnson-Whitehurst Friday night's nationally televised and broadcast NBC 10-rounder brings together Harold Johnson, top light heavyweight contender, and heavyweight Bert Whitehurst at the Syracuse, N.Y., audit orium. Johnson of Philadelphia, who usually weighs about 178 pounds, is a lop-sided fav orite at 3-1 over Whitehurst of Ba'timore, a 190-pounder. Johnson is the slicker boxer and harder hitter.

Iverson, North Bend, Ore., designer, said today he plans to ask the NCAA to approve n soft leather, plastic-covered glove he has designed to pro tect the back of football play ers' hands. Iverson said the glove was used last season by Iowa with approval of Big 10 officials, It weighs three ounces. He said he got the idea for the glove several years ago after his son, Richard, lost the use o fa thumb because of a cleat-injury. The Oregon School Activ ities association said it could not use the glove because it had been ruled out by the Na tional Federation of High School Athletics in Chicago. Oden Hawes, OSAA assist ant secretary, said it also was decided at the National High School Alliance convention in Lexington, Ky., that high schools were not ready for that type of equipment. Iowa team officials said the gloves proved very satisfac tory. CARDS SIGN DICKINSON BEARS SIGN DICKINSON Hattiesburg. Miss.

He explained that acciden tal deaths, when compared with last year, show an in crease of one. However, the 1956 deaths, 53, was an in crease of 382 per cent over 1955, which indicates that the county's accident rate is high when compared with two years ago. During the past year there were two maternal deaths, one which followed acute in fectious hepatitis. These deaths alter the maternal death rate which was 0.28 per Portland Faces Payroll Loss Portland (IP) A Port of Portland official, Dennis Lindsay, declared at a port commission meeting Monday that this city may lose S6 million "or more" because of "an arbitrary and unreason able administrative ruling by Navy personnel," in connec tion with negotiations for a new contract on a 17,000-ton capacity dry dock. Lindsay said the dock was the key to the marine repair industry here and that the port's biggest payroll, $15 million to $20 million a year, was involved. He said nego tiations with the Navy had all but "reached the end of the line," but the commission voted to try once more to persuade the Navy's Bureau of Ships to change its policy of a required open call for bids for leasing of dry docks. Lindsay said that to pre serve the industry in Port land, the city "will have to take action immediately to build a dry dock of our own if we cannot reach an agree ment with the Navy." The port, not in the ship re pair business itself, only pro vides the dry dock for the use of private ship repair comp anies, Lindsay explained, and therefore "cannot" bid as high as a private firm.

There is some question, Dr. Merkel stated, whether or not maternal death will supersede infectious hepatitis in one case as the cause of death. This will be deter mined by the vital statistics division of the Oregon state board of health.
