o 8 MAri TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon. Tuesday, May 6, 1958 Slants Scare riasiiier By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer - Three different doctors told Granny Hamner he'd never play ball again but the dis gusted, downtrodden Dodgers "diagnosis went haywire some where. Hamner says he's still with the Phillies only due to "an -act of Cod." It looked more Hike the hapless Dodger pitch ers could have used an act of Congerss to get him out Mon day night.

Fighters Complete Workouts for Bout Houston, Tex. IP) Both champ Joe Brown and chal lenger Ralph Dupas worked out lightly today as they put on the finishing touches for Wednesday n i g h t's world lightweight champ i o n s h i p fight here. A crowd of 10,000 and a Jate of $60,000 plus money from national television is ex ect?4 for the 15-round con tent. he first title bout in Jeas history. Both men spent some time n tie light bag today, as well as shadow boxing and doing txercises. There was no spar ring. Brown has been made a slight favorite to retain his crown against the fancy-box- Giardello Rips Calhoun in SF, Locks at Sugar San Francisco OPt Joey Giardello is ready for Sugar Ray Robinson and a shot at the world's middleweight box ing crown. But is Sugar Ray ready for Joey? Giardello. who says he ll "fight anybody," won an oldfashioned Pier Six brawl from third-ranked Rory Cal houn Monday night in such convincing fashion that there was no doubt about the unani mous decision. The judges and referee had Joey ahead 99-90, 100-89 and 9S-91. "I'm ready for Sugar Ray or anybody," said the cocky Giardello later in the dressing room. "This was just a light workout." Actually, it wasn't quite as easy as Joey claimed-or as the voting indicated. Giardello knocked Rory down for the nine count in the fourth round and had the collored lad on the road to dreamland. But he couldn't get in the finishing punch, and Rory made a fight of it in the last rounds. It was a vigorous battle from start to finish, and the 11,000 fans who jammed into the Cow Palace where evan gelist Bily Graham had been preaching brotherly love for the past week whooped it up through the whole bout.

VOORHEES WINS Rome IF Wayne Van Voorhees of Palm Beach, Fla., won his opening match in the Italian international tennis championships Monday but Louise Snow of Bakersfield, Calif., and Isabel Troccolo of New York bowed out in the first round. n a leans of quitting baseball a year ago because of a serious shoulder injury, drove in five run3 in an 8-3 victory over Los Angeles. He teed off on Don Drys dale for a triple with the bas es full in a five-run first in ning, then slammed the 100th home run of his carrer off re liever Jackie Collum with one on in the fifth, Stan Lopata followed with a homer of his own over the fence-the left field one, naturally. Hamner's heavy stickwood sent young Don Drysdale Dodgers' Don Zimmer slides ing Dupas, but the odds have been slowly dropping as the bell time draws nearer. Odds are expected to be even mon ey, pick 'em, by the 8 p.m. fight time. Dupas' camp was apparent ly assured today their boy has "made" the limit of 135 pounds, and that he would weigh in at exactly that fig ure. The biggest worry of the New Orleans boy's followers now seems to be just how much the weight-dropping problem has taken out of him. An old eye cut has also been troubling Dupas, but trainer Angelo Dundee said he thought the cut was fully healed and a "punch shouldn't open it." In Brown's camp, the quiet ly determined champ, also from New Orleans, said he would be shooting for a knockout from the opening bell. "All I'm interested in is his chin." the champion said. "I'll be disappointed if it goes 15 rounds and I have to win by a decision. I'm looking for a knockout." Anthony Plans Heavy Division In Future Bouts New Yor',4 'IPi Having failed in one crack at the light heavyweight title. Tony Anthony now wants to cam paign exclusively in the heavyweight division. The 23-year-old New Yorker tested his punching power against a legitimate heavy weight for the first time Mon day night, flattening Artie Miller of Gastonia, N.C, in the sixth round of their widely-televised fight at St. Nicho las Arena. "T hat victory definitely puts Tony in the heavyweight picture," said Ernie Braca, Anthony's manager. "He may not be ready for Floyd Patter son now, but one year from now he will be." Stuart Leading PCL Bat Stats. San Francisco HP) Dick Stuart, one - time home run king of the lower minors, is leading the Pacific Coast League in hitting with a solid .413 mark, according to ave rages today and including Sunday's games.

Bell also is tops in strikeouts with 30 in the 32 innings he has pitched. i down to his fifth straight de feat without a victory, and while Dodge owner Walter O'Malley figures to make a bundle in California, it cer tainly hasn't proven at all lucrative to the luckless, 21-year-old righthander so far. Five-Hitter Roman Ray Semproch of the Phils turned in a neat five-hitter in achieving his third win. The Dodgers scored all their runs off him in the fourth with Carl Furillo's two run homer high-lighting the rally. across the plate as he steals Harman Leads In Ore Open With 66 Score Portland (IP) Sid Har man of Yakima held a two stroke lead today after the first 18 holes of the annual Oregon Open golf tourna ment which saw him come within one stroke . of tieing the Riverside' course record here.

Martinez Takes On Savoie for Tuneup Fight Boston ilP) Hard punch ing welterweight title contend er Vince Martinez of Pater osn, N. J., takes on veteran Armand Savoie of Montreal tonight in a 10-round "tune up" for his title match next month. ' Martinez, a 10-year veteran who has lost only five times in 64 bouts, fights Virgil Akins of St. Louis a month from tonight for the welter weight title.
