and the small boat owner can
go to sea with safety and con

Sword Dancer
Will Run In NJ
Oceanport, N. J.-flJPD-Brook
meade Stable's Sword Dancer
is passing up the $75,000
Dwyer Stakes at New York
Saturday fof another crack at
the "big boys" in the $100,-
000 added Monmouth Handi
cap at Monmouth Park.
The leader pro tern of the
three-year-old division is elig
ible for both events.
In the Dwyer, in which
Sword Dancer would be meet
ing horses of his own age, he
drew top weight . of 126
pounds. For the Monmouth
classic, Mrs. Dodge Sloan's
smallish but classy colt will
carry 120 pounds, four over
the scale for three-year-olds
at this time of the season.
Trainer Elliott Burch de
cided to start Sword Dancer
in the Monmouth because he
thought the colt's size made
it available to accept the
lighter assignment: Also, the
Dancer beat older horses
earlier this year in the Met
ropolitan 'Cap at New York.

Philadelphia (UPD Bob
Mathias, - a strapping, raw
boned man with an iron-hard
body, was talking once about
the decathalon which carried
him to Olympian athletic
heights when he was a young
ster of 18.
"It is," insisted the two
time Olympic champion with
a grim edge to his voice, "one
of the most terrible ordeals
an athlete could undergo
When you get along towards
the end of it you wonder why
you ever tried to do it."
This is by way -of making
a point said point being
that another young man
named Rafer Johnson had bet
ter get on the ball.
Because a handsome, well
built Russian named Vasily
Kuznetsov makes this 10
event muscular marathon
look ridiculously easy.
Johnson is the top U. S.
hope for the Olympics, which
will be forthcoming next sum
mer in Rome. He and Kuznet
sov have been batting the de
cathlon world.record back and
forth like a tennis ball. But J
in a driving thunderstorm at
Franklin Field Sunday, as the
United States and Russia con
cluded a two-day track and
field meet, Kuznetsov was
prevented from eclipsing his
own brand new world rec
ord only by" the weather.
Johnson would have had his
hands full trying to stop Yam.
The decathlon is an ordeal.
In the space of two days, the
candidates for its roll of hon
or must run 100 meters,
broad jump, shot put, high
jump, run 400 meters, skim
over the 110-meter high hur
dles, hurl the discus, pole
vault, toss the . javelin and
wind it all up by running
1,500 meters.
It is all figured out, event
by event, with points award
ed according to the perfor
mance. Kuznetsov, a black
haired 27-year-old athlete who
stands six feet, one inch and
weighs 183 pounds, holds the
.current world mark of 8,357
points only man to pile up
more than 8,000 points on
four occasions.
One of those four times was
Sunday, despite a thunder
storm which inundated cap
italistic JFranklin Field. At the
end of the first day's five
events, he was running 50
points ahead of his world rec
ord. ,
He built that lead to 79
points Sunday and was 74
points ahead with only three
events remaining. Then the
heavens , wept on his chances.
The rain slicked the pole
vault runway and ruined him.
It greased his grip on the
javelin and turned the grassy
footing to a base of treach
ery. -
Yet, going into the final
event, that murderous 1,500
meter run, he needed to run
only 5:02.6 to set a new rec
ord. The track was inches
deep in, water and, while Ore
gon's Dave Edstrom splashed
home in 4:59.8, remember
that this is one of the blond
Yank's top events.
Kuznetsov, who was. third
in the 1956 Olympic decath
lon, gave it a game try. He
pounded home in 5:03.8 and
when they tallied up the
points his total was 8.350.
That was just seven slim
points behind the world mark
he established at Moscow in
May. And, under, the circum
stances, it was a miraculous
performance.
For, as Mathias ' said, this
is a man-killing event. And it
took the hand of God to stop
the star of the Soviet.
But, things being what they
are under the hammer and
sickle, maybe that's the way
it should be.

Gomes Wins Junior
Lightweight Crown
East Providence, R. I.-IUPD-"I
just had more eagerness
than Jorgensen."
That was the way 25-year-old
Harold Gomes of Provi
dence explained his phenom
enal victory over Paul Jorgen
sen of Port Arthur, Texas,
Monday night in winning the l knockdown in the 15th round
w o r 1 d's junior lightweight
championship.
Gomes, who was decked
four times by the 24-year-old
Jorgensen, was declared the
winner by unanimous deci
sion after a rough and tough
brawl in which Jorgensen was
cautioned repeatedly for
throwing low blows.
"I'll meet him anywhere,"
said Gomes in his dressing
room after the 15-round bout
at Pierce Memorial stadium.
"And as far as those three
knockdowns in the 11th round
go, I think my head was pret
ty clear. As soon as I came
back to my corner, I was
O.K
Gomes, who forced the fight
throughout, with good use of
a right-left combination, had
beaten Jorgensen previously
at Miami, Fla. He termed the
battle "the fight of all fights."
He also , glossed over his
saying that "I wanted to
knock Jorgensen out
Jorgensen said that he "nev
er was tired but I ran out of
gas in the 11th," the round in
which he decked Gomes three
times for eight counts
He said he thought he "had
Gomes in the 11th, but I guess
he was much faster than me
tonight." He said he'd "like to
try Gomes in Texas."
The highly partisan crowd
of 3,437 witnessed its first
championship bout in Rhode
Island since 1943. The fight
marked the renewal of activ
ity in the junior lightweight
class
Hydro Squabble Begins
After Boat Race Sunday.
Seattle - (UPD Only 20 days
'til Gold Cup time and already
the temper-tender hydroplan
ing elite is squabbling.
Beefs in this business are
not uncommon, but usually
they are reserved for race
day, or at least, until the
week preceding the race when
qualifying runs are attempted.
As usual, the trouble again
involves an interpretation of
the rule.
The latest rhubarb was
brought to a head by Bill
Muncey, driver of the Miss
Thriftway which lost by the
razor-thin margin of 1.8 sec
onds in the Diamond Cup Re
gatta on Lake Coeur D'Alene
Sunday.
Pique at Race Stop
Muncey, a young man who
is an old nana at tne aan-
gerous pastime of speedboat
racing, wasn't sore at Bill
Stead who copped the cup in
the Maverick. Muncey, a win-
or - nothing competitor was
piqued at the officials who
stopped the race when Norm
Evans was flipped out of the
Miss Spokane in the final and
crucial heat
"That gun was too quick,"
said Muncey, complaining
about the red signals which
were shot off to stop the race
Muncey also complained be
cause Evans failed to signal
that he was unhurt.
An alternate referee, Harry
Woods, defended the officials'
action, saying Evans may not;
have been hurt, but' with a
man in the water there' was
no choice. Evans said he tried
to lift his arms but they
wouldn't respond until it was
too late.
Several other drivers and
owners were a bit more char
itable. They pointed out that
already during the race Jack
Regas had been injured ser
iously and Bill Brow was suf
fering from shock and bruises
and the shooting off of the
red flares when Evans was
spilled was almost an invol
untary action.

Medford Takes First
Playoff Game From
Roseburg Last Night
Camp White Memorial Sta
dium-Medford nosed R6se-
burg here, 5-4, last night and
prepared to move north on
Wednesday to challenge the
same team at their home court
in the last game or games of
the southern-northern division
playoffs in area 4 Legion base
ball.
Radio station KYJC will
carry the ball game starting
at 7:50 p.m. If Roseburg takes
the first game a second one
will follow.
' Jerry Anderson shouldered
the pitching chores for Med
ford last night but it was the
strong arm of second-base
"pitcher" Ray Konaposek that
helped the local cause. Once
in the third inning, and again
in the fifth, Konaposek threw
strike ' balls across the plate
and robbed batsmen of in-the-
park home runs.
Long Flies
It was Gene Wagner in the
third and George Spees in the
fifth that cracked . out long
fly balls over the head of
right fielder Bob Quinney and
both times it was throws from
Quinney to Konaposek to
catcher Jim Barry that nipped
them at the plate.
Both men rounded third
base with (Juinney still chas
ing the ball and both were
caught sliding home by pic
ture pitches.
The game was tied up, 4
apiece, at the top of vie sixth.
But the bags loaded up on
a hit by Quinney, a free voy
age to first by Konaposek
after being hit with a pitched
ball, and , a fielder's choice
play on Wayne . Thompson
that squeezed groans out of
Roseburg rooters.
A strikeout followed and
then losing pitcher Jerry Hal-
laday presented Anderson
with a base on balls and walk
ed Quinney in. That was the
ball game, though Roseburg
sent three men up in the
seventh and Medford put them
down.
Roseburg found Anderson
harder to keep down than the
mercury in a Medford ther
mometer. He got one hit at
one time batting, but three
walks combined with it to put
him on base a total . df four
times. Three of the four times
he ended up crossing the plate
for a score.
Quinney got two singles for
three trips to the plate and
Lowell Dean and Ken Durkee
each collected singles. .
Good Start
Roseburg got four hits off
of Anderson but couldn't put
them together to advantage.
Starting pitcher Bob Whipple
threw seven straight strikes
to begin the ball game and
it looked as if Medford was
in ' for an unenjoyable eve
ning. Two walks followed,
though, and then a single by
Lowell Dean and an error
scored Anderson. Medford
also scored in the second,
third, fifth and sixth innings.
Roseburg pitcher Bob Whip
ple was retired for the eve
ning when Bob Scott pinch-
hit for him in the sixth. Jerry
Halladay finished the game
on the mound. 1

Portland, Ore. -HIPD-Heavyweight
Eddie Machen, who
hopes for another chance at
Ingema'r Johanssota, meets
Rueben Vargas here tomor
row, night in a nationally
televised fight.
Vargas,, too, hopes for a
shot at the champion in a
non-title bout if he gets by
Machen.
Machen, the former Red
ding, Calif., fighter who ob
served his 27th birthday July
15, defeated Vargas in San
Francisco last May. For many
months he was considered the
logical contender for the
heavyweight crown. Then last
year he ran into Johansson's
right hand in Sweden and
was ko'd in the first round.
Ranked Fifth
But his showing against the
Swede seems not so poor in
view of the Patterson-Johansson
bout recently. Eddie now
is ranked fifth by Ring Maga
zine and sixth by the Nation
al Boxing Association. If he
gets by Vargas again he may
be on the road back.
The bout will be held at
the Oregon Centennial Expo
sition Grounds. It will offer
diversified boxing styles.
Vargas is a free-wheeling
puncher with power but little
boxing finesse. Machen is a
stand-up boxer who likes to
use his left in consistent
jabbing from a safe distance.
The first scheduled airline
flight in the world was made
between Tampa and St. Pe
tersburg, Fla., on Jan. 1, 1914.
