Quarter of Since Non Heavyweight Champ It has been exactly a quar ter century since anyone oth er than an American fighter held the heavyweight cham pionship, Primo Camera, the Italian giant, being dethroned by Max Baer on June 14, 1934. Before and since, interna tional matches have contribu ted high spots of drama and excitement to the long History of fistiana. Now handsome, dimpled Ingemar Johansson, 26-year- Phoenix Downed by Vancouver Phoenix, Ariz. -flJPD- Marve Breeding singled home two runs in the seventh Saturday night to give Vancouver a 5-4 win over Phoenix in the first game of a Pacific Coast league doubleheader.

Shortstop Ron Hansen walk ed to start the seventh. Pinch hitter Jim Dyck singled to right, then one out later, Bar ry Shertrone, was intentional ly walked and Breeding hit his single." t The win went to Connie Johnson and Marcelino Solis was the loser. Johnson gave way to a pinch hitter in the Mountie rally and Metro sent Dick Luebke, Frank Besana and Dick Fitzgerald - all lefties -to work in the bottom of the seventh. , Fitzgerald came in with the bases loaded and one out. He forced Jim Brideweser to hit to third for a force at home on Glenn McMinn. Then he got catcher Sid Harvey to hit back to the box to end it.

TO TAKE WWCF POST Pullman - (OPD-Jim Louns berry, freshman football coach at Washington State college, says he will resign to accept a post at Western Washington College of Education in Bell ingham as an assistant profes sor. Lounsberry said he "leaves WSC with regret." The resignation will be effective June 20. He said he would have faculty status and would also be associated with coach ing at the Bellingham college, In 1794, Pennsylvania out lawed capital punishment ex cept in cases of first degree murder. ' Century - American old Swede endowed with both a winning personality and an impressively paralyzing right hand, is writing a new chap ter of promise in this inter national ring saga. Johansson's challenge o f champion Floyd Patterson for the title on June 25 has so captured the fancy of the cus tomers that promoter Bill Rosensohn is doing a brisk business in $100 Yankee Sta dium ringside seats. (Local fight fans will b. able to se th heavyweight title bout larger than lif. for a fraction of the ring side cost via TlPrompTr corporation's closed - circuit television network at th. Craierian theatre.) The brawny Swede, unde feated in 21 pro fights with 13 knockouts, is seeking to join a highly select group of non - American heavyweight champions. Although the Stars and Stripes has had no monopoly in the lighter weights, particularly in recent years, only four heavyweights born outside the U. S. have been titleholders since the "modern" era was ushered in by John L. Sullivan in 1882. Foreigners By Birth ' Those four were Bob Fitz simmons, who came to the United States from Australia and was. born in Cornwall, England; Tommy Burns, a na tive of Canada; Max Schmel ing of Germany and Camera. Even Fitzsimmons , a n d Burns were "foreigners" largely through the technical ity of birth. Ruby Robert had campaigned in the U. S. for seven years before defeating Jim Corbett for the title in 1897 with the famed "solar plexus" punch. And Burns did virtually all of his fighting in this country on the way to winning .the championship from Marvin Hart in 1906. Schmeling was one of the ablest of the imported heavy weights. He won the title on a foul in a bout with Jack Sharkey in 1930 after Gene Tunney's retirement but lost it to Sharkey by decision two years later. Louis Revenge There followed Max's two memorable fights with Joe Louis. In June, 1936, the scowling German kayoed Louis in the 12th round of a non - title bout at Yankee Stadium, the only loss Joe was to suffer on his way to the championship. Two years and three days later, 70,000 fans contributed to one of the eight gates in history to top a million dol lars to see the second meet ing, this time for the title, in the same ball park. This time, Joe floored Schmeling three times in the first round to win in only two minutes and four seconds. In between Schmeling's two losing title bouts with Shark ey and Louis, the giant 6-foot, 6-in 254-pound Camera flash ed briefly across the fistic skies like a ponderous over sized sputnik. He dethroned Sharkey in 1933 but was knocked out in 11 rounds by Baer the following year. Foreigners Contribute That was the last time a foreigner held the title, but it doesn't begin to tell the story of the contribution of other fighters from abroad. One of the most colorful occasions, certain ' to pop readily into mind wherever such things are discussed, is the Jack Dempsey - Georges Carpentier bout in 1921, when the "million dollar gate" became a reality under the astute promotion of fabu lous Rex Rickard. 1 Carpentier, slender French "Orchid Man," was a bona fide middleweight, Dempsey one of the most ferocious heavies of all time. But Rick ard, making the most of Car pentier's World War I hero ism, his international glam or and the wacky spirit of the post-war '20s, packed 80,183 spectators into flimsly tem porary wooden stands in Jer sey City. Firpo Fierc. Foe Another high spot of Demp sey's career was his fierce bout with Luis Angel Firpo, the "Bull of the Pampas" from Argentina. Louis had two of his most difficult fights against Tommy Farr, the vali ant Welshman, and Arturo Godoy, agile Argentinean. In more recent years, the output of foreign challengers has slowed down to a trickle. Rocky Marciano had little dif ficulty with Don Cockell, and Patterson used Brian London to advantage in his 11-round tuneup for Johansson on May 1. tuneup for Johansson on May 1. But neither of those two Britishers carried the record, the fighting equipment or personal magnetism of Jo hansson. The burly Swede has turned the calendar back to the exciting days of Carpen tier, Firpo and Schmeling. SPORTS Ortiz Cops Junior Toga By JACK CUDDY New York (DPD Carlos Ortiz, brand new junior wel terweight champion, yelled today for a shot at the light weight crown after he finish es July maneuvers with the National Guard. , Swarthy, well-built Ortiz of New York and Puerto Rico won the revived junior welter title Friday night on a second round technical ' knockout over southpaw Kenny Lane at Madison Square Garden. A right smash between the eyes cut such a deep, bloody gash at the inside corner of Lane's right brow that the scheduled 12 - rounder was stopped between the second and third rounds. That's a second - round TKO under rules of the New York State Athletic commission. Count of Four The one - and - one - quarter inch gash required 10 stitches. Ortiz, 22, had floored sandy haired Kenny for a count of four with a right to the chin earlier in the second session of this first title fight for the synthetic 140-pound crown in nearly 13 years. The victory not only gave Carlos the resurrected title but it avenged a Dec. 31 de feat by Lane at Miami Beach and it made Ortiz top con tender for Joe Brown's light weight 135 -pound champion ship. Semi-Pro Clubs Mix Rogue Valley- league semi pro baseball activity this aft ernoon is all in the north end of the loop. Games are Ashland at Rid dle, Medford at Grants Pass and Camp White at Glendale. The Ashland-Riddle tussle is the day's feature since the two clubs are unbeaten in their two previous league en counters. Names of three Medford .500 hitters were inadvertent ly omitted Friday in a story giving league statistics. The three are Ron Peery, Bob Serek and Kay Vaughn. Slade Cutter Asks Sea Duty Annapolis, Md.-fiJPD - Capt. Cutter, Navy's stormy athletic director, is headed back to sea. Rear Admiral Charles L. Melson, Academy superintend end, announced Friday night that Cutter has asked to be relieved for sea duty on a com mand vessel which would make him eligible for promo tion. Cutter will be replaced late this summer by Capt. Asbury (Red) Coward, who earned let ters in baseball, basketball and football at the Academy in the late '30's. Ducote Tires Of Swinging Bat United Press International They finally got Duke Du cote out in the Northwest league Friday night but only because he got tired swinging the bat. Ducote had five hits in six trips including two homers and drove in seven runs as Wenatchee swamped Tri-City 20-3. Ducote hit his first homer in the first frame with one man aboard and then added a three run homer in the sec ond game. He also had a triple, double and single, and failed to con nect only in his final trip to the plate. FLAY GOLF!
