SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY Sport Writer United Presi New York-UPD-Time, tide and the tortures of making weight Wednesday night well could spell the end of aicient Archie Moore's seven-year reign as light heavyweight champion of the world. The muscular marvel from San Diego won fighter of the year and fight of the decade honors last year when he came off the deck four times to stop Yvon Durelle. It was one of the ring's greatest dis plays of gameness. But it just may go the other way at Montreal Wednesday night despite the 3 to 1 odds favoring old Arch in this re match. It isn't so much, according to veteran fight men, that Archie is 43 going on 49 or that Durelle, the fistic fish erman from Canada, is riding a rising tide. They see Moore's eclipse in the fact that once again he has been forced to pare his 200 pounds plus down to the 175-pound limit. Reducing Takes Toll "He can hand out all the bunk he wants to about hav ing learned a reducing meth od from an Australian abori gine," explained one canny fight manager. "But after a while, even if the process is seemingly effortless, that con stant reducing has to take its toll." The feeling is that, even in a body which has been hard ened muscularly, such re ducing must leave a quickly tiring shell. "Archie is ready to be taken," asserted another. "The time comes for every body, sooner or later, and Moore is no exception. You've got to remember that Durelle, while he may not be the best boxer in the world, or anywhere close to it, is a lot younger at 29 and is as strong as a gorilla." Must Move Up Weight Making weight has ruined many a good fighter who in sisted on going through the ordeal. Most others, tiring of the struggle, simply move up into a heavier weight class. Ray Robinson for years struggled to stay in the welterweight division where he had a lock on the compe tition. But after repeated doc tor's orders that weight mak ing could be severely injuri ous to his health, he moved up into the middleweight bracket. Ageless Archie can't be rapped too readily on the basis of his age, which re mains a deeper boxing mys tery than the names of the fighters controlled by Frankie Carbo. He claims he was born in 1916, which would make him "only" 43. His mother set the date as 1913, which would make him 46. Others contend that even this date is about three years short of the actual mark. Nobody can contest the fact, however, that he has been boxing as a recognized professional since 1936 - a mere matter of 23 years. How many years he laced on gloves before that in unrec ognized bootleg bouts is once again anybody's guess. The fact is that, in the ring, he still moves like a young sprout and it i an admitted fact that he last thing a boxer loses is his punch. If Yvon's chin gets in the way, you can expect Durelle to go. We Have Portland Wins Over Phoenix To Stay Ahead In PCL Race United Press International The Portland Beavers were a full game and a half out in front today in the race for the Pacific Coast league pen nant. Portland's hopes to bring home the title in the state's Centennial year were bright ened Monday night as the Beavers edged Phoenix 4-3. Vancouver took over sec ond place with a 5-1 win over Salt Lake City; Spokane clobbered San Diego 9-3 and Seattle downed Sacramento 6-5 in 10 innings. Fifth Loss It was the fifth straight loss for Sacramento which led the league for a large part of the season. Sacramento is at Port land for a series opener to night. Portland got its runs early against Phoenix Monday night, scoring twice in the second and once each in the third and fourth. Phoenix scored in the fifth on Owen Friend's 15th. homer and twice in the seventh on three hits including a triple by Sal Tar omina. George Brunet, Portland southpaw, was the winner al though he had to have relief help from Glenn McMinn in the seventh. Won Series Portland, which had a bad time with Phoenix last year, won its series from the Giants this season 14-8. Frank Howard and Tommy Davis, future Los Angeles Dodger hopefuls, each pow ered a pair of homers to lead Spokane's win over San Di ego. Davis and Howard, proper ty of the talent-rich Dodgers, each socked one of their hom ers over the 411 foot sign in centerfield to become only the third and fourth players to perform that trick in Spo kane's Fairgrounds Park. Grid Teams Schedule Exhibitions United Press International The Pittsburgh Steelers, who would rather beat the Cleveland Browns than any other team, play host to the Browns Tuesday night in the first of five exhibition games this week involving National Football league teams. The College All-Stars, made up of this year's leading NFL draft choices, tangle with the champion Baltimore Colts in Chicago Friday night in the 26th annual All-Star game. Three night games are carded for Saturday. The New York Giants play the Philadelphia Eagler at Hersh ey, Pa.; the Detroit Lions play the Chicago Cardinals at Norman, Okla.; and the Green Bay Packers meet the Chicago Bears at Milwaukee. High Hopes The Steelers have high hopes this year in the Eastern division race because they wound up the 1958 season as the hottest team in the NFL. Pittsburgh finally got rolling after obtaining Bobby Layne, winning six of its last seven games. The other wound up in a tie. Cleveland Is coming back from one of its most bitter disappointments. .Tust when the Browns appeared to have the Eastern title wrapped up, they dropped two in a row to the Giants, the last in a play off. The Browns are 16-2 in the league against the Steelers and 3-0 in exhibition play. They shut out the Steelers in their first exhibition game last year, 10-0. NW League Idle, Games Tonight There were no games in the Northwest league Monday night. Tonight's schedule has Yak ima at Wenatchee, Eugene at Tri-City and Salem at Lewis ton. Yakima leads the second half league race by a game and a half over Eugene and Lewiston. Tri-City, in. the basement, is only 4Vi games from the top.

Davis is leading the league in hitting with a .338 mark and he has 14 homers. George Bamberger was in command all the way as he pitched Vancouver to its win over Salt Lake.-The veteran righthander scattered 10 hits and was aided by sound de fensive support. Lou Skizas homered in the top of the tenth to give the red-hot Seattle Rainiers a sweep of their five game series with Sacramento. LINESCORES: Sal Tjik hnn nnn n i n .

My com pany has hauled all kinds of cars from the factories to dealers. I've had a ringside seat on the auto business. When I read news reports about the new smaller cars others plan to bring out, I say to myself "Rambler already has what the others are merely talking about.' I see where the rest of the industry is going to copy Rambler's way of building cars when they rush out their smaller models.

America's No.l Success Car High Court Gets Chavez Appeal Washington-flJPD-An appeal of a California Supreme Court decision which approved transfer of ground in the Chavez Ravine area from the city of Los Aneeles to the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team has been filed with the U. S. Supreme Court. The appeal was filed Mon day by attorney Phill Silver on behalf of Louis Kirshbaum of Los Angeles. However, the Supreme Court currently is in its summer recess and no ac tion will be taken on the ar- peal until the fall. Silver filed a brief earlier this year with the court, but had been directed by Justice Hugo L. Black to submit addi tional material. Principal Issue In the supplementary brief, Silver declared that federal questions involved in the case are "substantial." He said a principal issue was whether the contract between the city and the ball club was for "a public purpose" or a "private purpose." Silver said that approval of the transfer of 315 acres to the Dodgers for a new sta dium site would, if allowed to stand by the courts, "open wide the way to raids on pub lic treasuries in all the states, cities, towns, and counties of the country." 1 ; ' ' "It'll be the most imitated car in America next year!" FUSELAGE Alt ONE AND THE SAUL All ONE AND THE SAME. Trademark Jack Sharkey Named As Third Man In Moore-Durelle Bout By JOHN POWER Montreal (UPD Former heavyweight champion Jack Sharkey again will referee the light heavyweight title fight between champion Ar chie Moore and Canadian Yvon Durelle Wednesday night at the Montreal Forum. Leopold Pigeon, chairman of the Montreal Athletic Com mission, announced today that Sharkey had been picked to referee Wednesday's return 15-rounder because the com mission thought he had done "an excellent job" in the first Moore-Durelle bout last Dec. 10. Pigeon said tne three judges will not be announced until five minutes before the fight starts at 7 p.m. (p.d.t.). In Montreal, three judges instead of two preside and only they can vote on the decision. The referee has no vote. . Durelle, who balked Mon day at signing a return bout pact, was expected to sign the pact today. The fighting fisherman from Baie Ste. Ann, N.B., said at first he wouldn't accept the j offered return bout terms - Rambler's 20 years of experience with Single Unit Con struction. It stands to reason nobody else is going to get that "know how" overnight RAMBLER SIZE IMITATED Reports out of Detroit say that the new crop of smaller cars will be about the same wheelbase as Rambler, but what I want to know is will the others be able to match Rambler's inside space? Ease of entry? If the others can't beat Rambler's room and comfort with their oversized cars, how are they going to do it with smaller ones? ALL OUT FOR GASOLINE ECONOMY Everyone knows that Rambler is the economy leader. And economy is what most motorists want today. So, it's only natural that the others would try to imitate Rambler economy. But can they match Rambler's per formance? At least one of the small cars is planning to put the engine in the rear. Through the years, I've hauled a lot of the American Motors experimental cars from the factory to the Proving Grounds . . . watched them tested . . . talked to the engineers. So I know Rambler has American Motors in the event he beats Moore -of 30 per cent of the net re ceipts for each fighter. He said he wanted "at least $100,- 000 for defending against Moore." But Truman Gibson, presi dent of National Boxing En terprises, arrived by plane from Paris and went into an immediate huddle with Dur elle and his manager, Chris Shaban. He emerged with word that Durelle would sign today and for the originally offered 30-30 split. Durelle, 29, claims to be more confident of victory this time than he was last Decem ber. His new-found source of strength is trainer Charlie Goldman, the man who groomed Rocky Marciano on the Brockton blockbuster's march to the heavyweight championship. "Charlie has given me a good left hand to go with my right," said Durelle. "He has stopped me from hitting with a loose left arm." Although ancient Archie has in the past drilled right down to the day of the fight, he knocked off stiff training What Rambler's Sudfess Means To Every Motorist weighed the pros and cons of all types of engines ... liquid and air-cooled ... all types of cylinder combina tions. And, Rambler decided the engine belongs in front The greater safety and better handling of the front-engine design is what convinced them. CAN'T IMITATE BASIC EXCELLENCE There's one thing the others can't even begin to imitate ... Rambler's basic excellence. That's the all-round "balance" of quality, economy, maneuverability, room, comfort and performance that Rambler has. It's this balance the proper combination of every thing motorists want that is the secret of Rambler's basic excellence. And it's something no quick imitation can duplicate. No wonder I'm hauling more than twice as many Ramblers from the factory this year. Fact is, in June, Rambler was 3rd in sales in the U.S.A. Sure, Rambler will be the most imitated car in Amer ica next year. But who wants an imitation when you can get the original? AMERICAN MOTORS CORPORATION RAMBLER KELVINATOR METROPOLITAN , .MAIL TRIBUNE. M.dfonL Or. A Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1939 Shriners Work Out Portland-IOPD-Rival coaches were vieing today for the un derdog role in the 12th an nual Shriners' hospital all star football game Saturday night in Multnomah stadium. "Where do they get that 'even stuff?" asked Coach Fred Spiegelberg of the State all-stars. "They've got everything," moaned Coach Tom DeSylvia of the Metros. 'They (State) should be the favorites. Sideline observers contin ued to insist, however, that the game stacks even. Bot 27-man squads worked hard Monday morning and af ternoon following their Sun day holiday, and double work outs were scheduled for again Tuesday. The Metros concentrated on their passing attack again, with Quarterback Terry Bak er of Jefferson in the key throwing role. Baker hailed as the best prep passer to come out of Oregon since George Shaw, connected con sistently on long and short tosses. here two days ago - an indi cation that he thinks he is at his peak form. The cham pion had a one-hour light workout Monday, finishing just in time to greet his wife who arrived from California.
