Busso Awarded Split Decision New York (UPI) Light weight contenders Johnny Busso and Carlos Ortiz prob ably will be -rematched for Madison Square Garden on Aug. 22 or 29 because of the debate over Busso's split-verdict victory there Friday night that tagged Carlos with his first defeat. Whether an injury to Bus so's right fist would delay the return bout was uncertain. New Yorker Johnny said to day, "I hurt the first two knuckles of my right hand in the fourth round and if the pain doesn't go away by to night, I'll have X-rays taken." Managing director Harry Markson of the International Boxing club said, "The fight was so good and so close, we'd like a rematch in 'late Au gust." Tenth-ranked Busso's ap parent superiority in the sev enth, eighth, ninth and 10th rounds caused . Referee Bar ney Felix and Judge Bill Recht to favor him with the same rounds vote: 5-4-1. But Judge Artie Schwartz had sixth-rated Ortiz ahead, 6-4. There were no knockdowns but Carlos was staggered by a left-right to the chin in the eighth. ALL FOR NAUGHT ' Watertown, N.Y.

Miss U.S. 1 from Detroit is the only eastern entry. Rounding out the field was the host city's Miss Round Table, actually the Question Mark of Seattle renamed for this race; Adois of Pasco, Wash.; Miss Spokane, a boat owned by Spokane residents; Miss Burien of Seattle; Coral Reef of Tacoma; Pay N Save of Seattle, and Miss eSattle of Seattle. Despite the favorites, the Diamond Cup is a wide-open race, with the boat in the best mechanical condition likely to come out on top. Rules are that an engine used in a boat's first heat must be used throughout the race. This means a boat which wins a preliminary heat by a lop sided margin may not even be around in the finals. Pilots of the Unlimiteds which have been out on Lake Coeur d' Alene quickly agree that the three-mile course is ideal for the big boats. Bill Stead, pilot of Maverick, says it's one of the two fastest in the country. Maverick hit speeds of 113 miles an hour during tests this week. Duane Hagadone, vice com modore of the sponsoring Coeur d' Alene Unlimited Hy droplane association, says about $40,00 was spent pre paring for the city's hydro plane racing debut as well as untold man-hours of work. "But," he says, "it will be worth it if the Diamond Cup becomes one of the 'big hydro races of the season."

Had Liquor managing director of the Jockey's Guild, said they talked with Westrope at noon or shortly thereafter. They said he appeared completely sober and tere was no indi cation he had been drinking. W. J.

Central Point Medford 1 0 Lakeview Central Point Central Point Cheney Studs Ameri can Legion junior baseballers have a jaunt to Grants Pass this afternoon for Southern district contention with the GP Mock Ford team. The Studs seek to keep themselves in the chase by fortifying their second place position. Grants Pass is intent on keeping its unbeaten stat us in the circuit. A Central Point victory would boost the Studs to within a half-game of the current loop pacing Mock squad. Today's action is rated a toss-up. CP has a non-district verdict on the books against Grants Pass but the margin was a skimpy 1 to 0. Tightness of that conflict was further demonstrated by the fact that each team managed only two hits. .
