Milwaukee Braves Fined For World Series Leak . . New York-ttPD-Ryne Duren -apologized to umpire Charley -Berry today and said he'll -"gladly" pay a $250 fine but Del Crandall angrily insisted it was "unfair" to fine 22 Braves players $50 apiece be cause of a World Series leak. The fines were imposed by Commissioner Ford Frick. Du ren drew his for a "choke-up" gesture directed by Berry dur iag the sixth game of the se oport ."v oscar fraley Parade a&x Sportl w,it" rUI UUC United Press New York-(UPD-Pat McMur try of Tacoma, Wash., and George Chuvalo of Toronto are two very similar young men. Each of these heavyweights, who meet in Madison Square Garden on Friday night, has a dream of fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world. Neither is marked around the eyes or ears with the stamp of his trade; neither has ever been knocked down and both of them work as a pick and shovel man on a con struction gang. The similarity ends there. Chuvalo is a tearing, ripping Croatian who prefers to bang away in the Rocky Marciano manner. He appers shorter than his 6 feet, 1 inch .because of his broad, bullish build and he contends with quiet brashness that despite a 14-bout pro career he is ready-right now for Floyd - Patterson. Prefers Outside Boxing . McMurtry, at 26, five years older than his Canadian rival, is a rangy 6 feet, 1 inch for- ' mer Marine who admits that whilehe can work in close t he prefers to box outside and . "cut em' up. V : "My idol was Gene Tun- ney," McMurtry says of the Shakespeare - reading Marine who won the heavyweight title from Jack Dempsey. "I hope I can do as well as Tun ney did." One thing sure, the pleasant-speaking McMurtry has both the" experience and the inspiration. Father of a 3-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son, he began boxing against his brother under their fa Make Your Cash Count More! BUY AT . . .

Duren had said after the sixth game he didn't remem ber . making the derisive choke-up sign at Berry and he repeated that assertion at his San Antonio, Tex., home Mon day night. "They told me I put my hand to my throat when I was ther's guidance when he was six years old. "We boxed each other on professional fight cards," he grins, "and the crowd threw coins into the ring for us." Wins Marine Title McMurtry subsequently be gan to box as an amateur at 15. and won 103 of 105 bouts. As a Marine in Korea in 1952 and 1953 he won the Far East ern heavyweight champion ship and the first all-Marine light heavyweight crown. Since turning pro in 1954, McMurtry won 23 of 29 bouts, 23 by knockouts. He was the fifth ranking heavyweight when, in February, Willi Besmanoff won a disputed de cision and knocked Pat out of the top 10. Chuvalo, who has large, powerful hands, turned pro after a brief but spectacular amateur career during which he floored four rivals in the space of an hour and a half. As a pro he has had 14 bouts, winning 11 and 8 of those by knockouts. "I come from the 'junction' section of Toronto," he says. "It's a pretty rough neighbor hood and you had to be able to fight. I saw some amateur bouts on television and de cided that's for me." The Toronto butcher's son was 15 then and now, six years later, he figures he's "ready for anybody because all fights are the same to me." The 7 to 5 odds say he's right this time, anyhow. Berkelev.

BATH ROOM SET BROOKS WHOLESALE PRICE Mondays Until 9 p.m. arguing with Berry but I hon estly don't remember doing it," said the bespectacled Yan kee relief ace. "If I did do it, then I cer tainly am sorry it happened and I want to apologize' to Charley Berry. I'm not angry about the fine. I'll pay it gladly with the biggest smile you ever saw. This has been my happiest season in base ball. Nothing can mar it. No Hard Feelings "Nobody likes to lose $250, but if I did something wrong then I guess I deserve to pay it. I have no hard feelings against anyone." The incident for which Du ren was fined occurred in the last half of the 10th inning during the sixth series game played in Milwaukee. The Yankees were ahead, 4-2, and the count was 3-and-2 on John ny Logan when Duren threw a fast ball which Berry called "ball four." Duren stormed off the mound shouting at the umpire On his way back to the rubber he turned in Berry's direction and put his hand on his neck, implying the umpire had "choked up" because he did not have the courage to call a close third strike against a Milwaukee player before a partisan Braves' crowd. Berry did not see Duren's gesture himself because his vi sion was obscured by Yankee catcher Yogi Berra, but two other umpires, who were not identified, did and urged Ber ry to report it to the commis sioner. Berry did so and Duren re ceived official notification of the fine at San Antonio Mon day. The fine will be deduced from Duren's winning World Series share which should come to approximately $8,700. Although the Yankee pitch er took the fine with a smile, Crandall didn't. "Not fair," Crandall says. "We're being , made the goats," said the Milwaukee team captain when informed that he along with 21 other Braves' players were being assess $50 each. "It's not quite fair,' Cran dall added. "That information could have come from other sources. Lots of people knew about the split. Other mem bers of the organization could have been guilty." Charles Segar, secretary treasurer of baseball, an nounced the fines for Frick. He said Milwaukee players did the same thing last year and had been reprimanded. The players fined were Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, Bill Bruton, Bob. Buhl, Lew Bur dette, Gene Conley, Was Cov ington, Crandall, Harry Hane brink, Joey Jay, John Logan, Felix Mantilla, Ed Mathews, Don McMahon, Andy Pafko, Del Rice, Humberto Robinson, Bob Rush, Red Schoendienst, Warren Spahn, Frank Torre and Bob Towbridge.

MDF0RDwSTRIBUNE iKMHnr Bill Lillard in Bowling Exhi Bill Lillard, former match game champion.will appear in a special exhibition of his cool, precise bowling style Thursday at Medf ord Bowling lanes. Lilliard, a member of the Brunswick Advisory Staff of Bowling Champions, is one of the hottest names in the sport. With- the many years of competition left for him, he appears certain to become one of the sport's all-time greats. Fred Anderson, manager of Medford lanes, said that Lill ard will appear in both the afternoon and evening. Times are 2 and 9:15 p. m. Exhibi tions are open to the public free of charge. - Among those who may roll against Lillard i s Gordon Schulz who recently won in an exhibition here from Bud dy Bomar, another of the country's top performers. Lillard already has many records and much legend be hind him. His manner of tak ing charge at the annual all star tournaments alone would have stamped Lillard for greatness. His taking charge in the 1956 ABC Tournament in Rochester, N. Y., practical ly assures him of a place on the list of bowling's most hon ored stars. , ' His records include the three titles he won at the 1956 ABC tournament team, doubles and all-events. No man before Lillard ever won three titles in the same tourn ament. Lillard also set the cash prize record for ABC Tournament records when he won $2,180.75. He is the fourth man to win four ABC titles-he was a member of the 1954-55 team of champions. Some of the legend is being WILD ROUND IN RING ENDS SCANLON WINS San Francisco fDPD One of the wildest rounds in San Francisco boxing history put an end to the victory string of young Bobby Scanlon on Monday night-and led to the Dossibilitv of a rematch with Paoli Rosi, that could fill the Cow Palace. Rosi. the Italian-immigrant now living in the Bronx, knocked out Scanlon in the third round of a scheduled 10 round lightweight battle. Rosi came in at 135 Va pounds to 13514 for Scanlon. "All I want is a rematch," said Scanlon in the wake of his first loss in 33 battles. "It was a stupid mistake- getting hit by that right. I lunged in and was tagged, it was stupid," said Scanlon. Rossi agreed. "This boy is a sucker for a hook," said Rosi, fighting one of his best battles. "Scanlon lost his mind after I knocked him down." It was one of the most thril ling bouts ever staged in the cavernous Cow Palace. Both men bled profusely in the first round-Rosi from a cut above his left eye, Scan lon from the nose after a slug ging start. In the second, both took it easy, apparently because each fighter had ideas for a quick finish in the third. That set the stage for the explosion. Rosi tagged Scanlon with a right hook that sent the San Francisco lad to the can vas.

A swinging right caught Rosi as he backpedaled and the Italian fell to the can-vas-also for no count.

"If you coach football long enough, sooner or later you'll get carried off the field -or kicked off." Last Saturday Curtice was embarrassed when his players attempted to carry him off the field after the Indians had upset Washington, 22-12-fol-lowing three consecutive drubbings. Curtice, who is a second Bob Hope on the interview platform when he loses, was Black Tornado Jayvees Win From Crater Eleven Medford High school foot ball junior varsity mounted one march which scored but its defense was its best of fense last night in a 19 to 0 victory over Crater at Central Point. Two Junior Tornado touch downs came on pass intercep tions. Booth Deakins stole a toss by Comet Loyal Higin botham in the first quarter and raced 71 yards to the goal. In the second period Dick Ragsdale nabbed another Hig inbotham pass and ran it back 35 yards to the touchdown zone. Medford drove from mid field in eight plays and tallied on the first play of the fourth quarter with Al Funston tak ing a pitch to cover the last 11 yards. Bob Custance made good on one of three kicks for a bonus point. Comets Top Yardage Crater rocked Medford for a number of substantial losses in spirited defensive play and piled up a wide margin in scrimmage yardage. But pen alties, pass interceptions, loss es at crucial moments and the elapse of time spoiled the scoring effort. The Comets outgained the Tornado 176 to 61 in yardage and wound up ahead in first downs eight to seven. The Comets had the ball once on the Medford eight af ter a fumble recovery by Jim Eldred and a 15 yard push by Don Gillaspey but the efforts fizzled when two plays lost a During Our Gigantic Only 6 New 1958 Chevrolets To Sell Before New Car Announcement Date, Oct. 16 2 Dr. DELRAY V8 engine, standard transmission, back-up lamps, oil filter, directional signals, deluxe heater.

'Jit just proved that if you stick with American kids long enough they will come through," he said. ' "Even when we took those three terrible lickings, they never gave up. And you would think our boys might have tossed in the towel when Washington marched for a touchdown the first time it got the ball against us. Coach Impresses "But they didn't. They just stayed in there and fought all the way. We win total of 16 yards. Then Deak ins of Medford turned a Crat er pass into a Tornado touch down. The home club got to the Medford 15 on a Gary John son to Harold Twedell pass play for 32 yards just before the half ended but was back on the 19 when time ran out. Crater surged from its 10 in the closing minutes of the ruckus and a 24-yard pass play, Gary Johnson to Durand Waller, put the ball on the Tornado. Waller, off balance on the catch, fell ruining a possible chance to go all the way. A Johnson heave to Roscoe Day failed to connect and another Johnson toss was batted down by Medford's Jim Barry. A throw by Don Gillaspey was intercepted by Ragsdale to crush the threat. An early stanza intercep tion by Ragsdale paved the way early in the second quart er for a Medford surge that came with two yards of the Comet goal. A first down was missed by just an inch or two. Medford in the third quart er fought to a first down on the Crater 18 but was shoved back to the 44 in the next three lays for a net loss of 26 yards.
