MEDFORIVWrREBUNB SIPdDIffiTrS People Complain KVDoore-CCing IHatch Just Old Stuff By HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco 1PB Some people complain that Archie Moore, the world's light heavyweight champion, is making a "career" out of fighting Howard King of Kenc, Nev. Shucks, Moore Is only a baby when it comes to fight ing the same guy often. In fact, he has battled the Ne vada lad only five times. Down through the years, champions have had particu lar "patsies" they -could de pend upon to put up a good fight, give the customers a show and still not get hurt. Jack Johnson, for instance, fought . Joe Jeanette nine times before Jie, Johnson, won the world's heavyweight title in 1908. Never after thai however, except for a three round exhibition in New York in 1945 when Johnson was 67 and Jeannette 68. Flock of Series This Jeanette, who died re cently, had a flock of "series" going with the top battlers of his day. He went into the ring with the great Sam Lang ford 10 times. One year, in 1906, Jeanette had six bouts all except one with Lang- ford or Johnson. Of course, in those days, there was the "color line" drawn by many white heavy weights and very often the Negro battlers had to cam paign among themselves. Possibly the greatest "se ries" in boxing was between the late Harry Greb and the eoon-to-be world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. They tangled four times in four years, with the light-heavyweight crown at stake twice. Each man won once, and the other two bouts were 10-round no-decisions. Greb also battled Tommy Loughran six times; and Loughran tangled with Steve Hamas four times, Mike Mc Tigue four times and Young Stribling three times. Busy Month - Then there was the case of Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom, who used to fight about 25 times per year. Once he tan gled with Lee Ramage three times within six weeks all in Los Angeles. For his trou- Cove Comet Challenges All Comers La Grande ITPD Jim Puck- ett, the comet from Cove High school, has challenged any and all sprinters, whether college or prep, to ari exhibi tion 100-yard dash during half-time festivities at the an nual Oregon Class "B" Shrine football game in Pendleton Aug. 23. Bob Oesterling, publicity chairman for the east team, announced Puckett'schallenge Monday. Oesterling said in terested sprinters should con tact Tom Burton, general chairman of the event, at El gin. Ore. The red-haired speedster was clocked twice during the past spring in times of 9.5 seconds for the century. He set new records for both the 100 and 220 at the state "B" track meet. Puckett is also a back on the east Shrine grid squad. WW WUAT 15 MAM'S HIGHEST R3L& VAULT ? Cornelius Warmtrdam vaulted 15 feet 8i inches at oosg, Mar. 20, 1943.

Of course, Moore has had these series going on before. He met Harold Johnson five times, winning four of them. He whipped Joey Maxim three times once to win the light-heavyweight title and twice more to retain it. Archie sees nothing wrong in meeting the same man over and over again. "A young fellow like How ard King keeps improving all the time," says Archie, who is his own best press agent. "Who knows? Some day he may lick me." Parsons Wins 11-4 Over Bureau Parsons Motors defeated the Bureau of Reclamation. 11-4, and the Cheney Studs beat the Medford Jaycees, 16 7, in the Jackson County soft ball league play at Camp White last night.

Lou Kurz Winner in Auto Main Ashland Louis Kurz ran off with first place in the main event at the Valley View speedway Saturday night. Louis had a bit of bad luck in the final heat and was de nied the clean sweep he was trying for. Jack Keck Sr. squeezed Kurz out by a half a length to keep him from winning every race he enter ed. The track was the fastest and in the best condition it has been in this year. The times in the time trials were a full second faster than in the past few weeks. Kurz' top lap was 23.65 seconds. This is the first time that any one in stock cars has broken 24 sec onds. The gals driving in the Powder Puff Derby must have learned a lot since the last one. They stepped up the pace quite a little and put on a real fine exhibition of driv ing. Mary Henson wheeling Lou Demock's car came in first very closely followed by Charlene Pardee in the auto owned by Earl Stephenson. Third place went to Pearl O'Connor. Excitement started early as Cliff McGilvary got into trouble in the second lap of the trophy dash and did a nice three quarter roll in the back stretch. Though Cliff was uninjured his car suffer ed quite a bit of radiator dam age and was unable to con tinue. Kurz came across first to pick up the trophy which was donated this week by the Ashland Kiwanis club and presented by Dr. Alva Gra ham of Southern Oregon col lege. Second place went to Cecil James and third to Lon Gay. Jack Keck Jr. for the eve ning took the first heat with Red McGilvray second and Jack Keck Sr. third. Louis Kurz finished first in the second heat for his second win of the evening. Harold Silver claimed second place and Floyd McClanahan third. Third place in the final heat went to Ted Sletten driving the big Lincoln. Har old Silver lost a wheel this time and had to hurry mighty fast to repair it so Terry Sil ver could drive it in the Pow der Puff Derby. The main this week was another rough one with only about half of the field man aging to . stay through the. whole race. Kurz finished ahead of Jack Keck Jr. and Cliff McGilvray to help him maintain his point standing. SoDons Score 4-2 Win Over Phoenix; Spokane Triumphs GP Cubs Tie For Crown Grants Pass Cubs lied Medford for top honors in the Cub division of South ern Oregon Junior baseball yesterday with a 7 to 3 vic tory. The teams finished regu lar season play with five wins and one loss each. A play-off is unlikely since the Grants Pass team is heading for a tourney and the Med ford baseball program ends Thursday. Six runs in lhs fourth in ning did the damage for GP. The scores were on a bunt hit by Bill Wolke, a single by Bob Varner, four walks, a wild pitch and three errors. Delbert Cline homered for Medford in the third in n i n g and Lee Johnson doubled home the other two runs in the fourth. Doug Kinney had three hits in four times up for Medford. I.INESCORE: Medford OOt 200 53 United Press International The three big guns of the Pacific Coast League were spiked Monday night during an evening of wild baseball complete with strange results, protests, and police escorts. Phoenix, leading the league by .002 percentage points, ran up against sharp Sacramento pitching , as the Solons won 4-2. Solon righthander Joe Stanka gave up only three hits two of them in the ninth in ning, but a pair of reliefers got him out of trouble. The Vancouver Mounties, in a virtual first place tie with the Giants, were edged by Spokane, 4-3, although the Mounties outhit the Indians, 11-3. In other games, Portland took care of third-place Sin Diego, 7-3, and Salt Lake City walloped Seattle, 14-4. Spokane scored three runs in the third inning at Vancou ver, but Mounty Manager Charlie Metro protested the game as the result of an ap peal play. The Indians got another run in the ninth and needed it, as Vancouver came up with two in addition to their single $un in the fifth. Ed Winceniak was all Port land needed to beat San Die go. He rapped out a pair of homers and drove in five runs. Dave Melton and George Freese smacked back-to-back' roundtrippers to give the Bea vers insurance in the seventh. Elmer Singleton went the distance for Portland to post his 11th victory against nine defeats. ' In Salt Lake City, the Bees made a shambles of Seattle by batting around in the first and second innings for a total of nine runs. This brought on a verbal exchange between the two teams which was climaxed in the eighth when several Rai- Roach Has Surgery Milwaukee, Wis.
