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-

any and all sprinters, whether
college or prep, to ari exhibi

half-time festivities at the an

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

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

ble he got one draw and two

the time but these were 10
round non-title bouts.
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.

is his own best press agent.
"Who knows? Some day he

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.

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
