I Kid Paret, : Jordan End Training ; By JACK CUDDY J Las Vegas, Nev. -flPIi- Wei- lerweiht champion Don Jor J dan and Benny (Kid) Paret of a Cuba finish training today for ! Nevada's first world title fight in a half century at Conven- 1 tion Hall Friday night. t Unexpectedly, Jordan 0 f 1 Los Angeles, says he is not ' taking any great risk with his 1 147-pound crown, here in the ' city that became America's I gambling center during the 50 ; years that elapsed since Jack ' Johnson kept the heavy- ' weight crown by knocking ' out Jim Jeffries at Reno, Nev in 1910. i. When rangy, sleepy-eyed ( Jordan squares off with Paret - Friday night; "I think I'll win the fight very easily," he said. If he does win easily, the victory will surprise many ' wagering men who have made challenger Paret a 2-1 favor ite. I. Promoters Mel Greb and ! Jack Doyle wish that fight fans In Nevada, California and Arizona were as confident of ; the champion's prowess as j; Don claims to be. Because of j; Jordan's comparatively poor I showing at Baltimore against Candy McFarland last week. Convention Hill's 7, BOO seats may be only half-filled and the gate may be curtailed to $45,000.

Tuesday's encounter was a Southern Oregon conference runoff. The Tornado will carry the District 0 .standard into quarterfinals in the elimi nations for the state's Class A-1 diadem. Medford will op pose the North Kugime High landers at Eugene on Friday afternoon, May 27, in the quarterfinal fray. The tangle tentatively is set for after noon at Bethel park. The Big Wind of the City of Pears sent runners across the plate five times in the first inning and twice more in the third. It was figura tively handcuffed the rest of the way. Mectford fans sat on the edges of their seats with their hearts in their throats as the Klamath Pels wham- med out three hits in the sixth .... Mh III! ( )J5C inning and four straight safe ties in the seventh. Seven Hits. Two Runs But, luckily for Medford, those seven hits manufactured just two runs as the Pels cut down what once had been a 7 to 1 Tornado lead. The final inning safeties were fol lowed by three straight outs with Bob Quinney pitching in relief. When the final out was recorded, the possible ty ing runs were left on base. Klamath's 3 to 2 triumph over Medford here last Fri day tied the two clubs with 7-1 marks in final regular season standings and forced yesterday's extra game. The Pelicans won a coin flip and chose their field as playoff site. But snow and wet grounds prevented use of Klamath's park and the game was shifted to Medford high. siPdDinnrs Qualities Experienced In Sports Make Stronger Person, Newell Declares Qualities that are exper ienced in athletics make a boy stronger Derson, Peter F.

Floyd Has Louis Secret In Battered Old Tin Can By FLOYD PATTERSON (Written for UPI) Newtown, Conn.-U'l'l)-1 can't tell you what secret Joe Louis showed me but 1 will tell you it's in a battered old tin can that I keep in my bureau drawer. I'll be handling that tin can quite a bit in the next four weeks because I promised Joe I'd study those films of his second fight with Max Schme- Patterson Remains Louis Pick Grossinger. N Y. -il'Hi- If master boxing "spy" Joe Louis uncovered any secrets in the training camp of heavy weight champion Ingemar Johansson, he's keeping them to himself. Louis, who Is advising Floyd Patterson on how to regain the crown from Johans son in their June 20 return bout, paid a nuich ballvhooed vimi iu iiit'iu.ii !. lump hi re Tuesday to see what he could see. But the only thing he had lo say publicly was that it might lake Floyd a round longer to whip Johansson than he first figured. "Ingo is in fine shape." re ported ex - champ Louis. "Floyd boxes more seriously and seems more serious all around than Johansson. I still think Patterson will win in from seven to 10 rounds -well, maybe we'll raise it to 11" Johansson appeared vastly tmworrird both by Louis' "spying" and his predictions, lie also brushed off Louis' as sertion that Johansson landed two foul blows In his first fight with Patterson last June. W1NNING WRITER DIES Charlotte, N.C. - ll'PU - Cecil Prince. 37. associate editor of the Charlotte News and win ner of the 28th annual Sigma Delta Chi award for his Oct. 27, 1PS8 editorial "This Could Be the Southern Century," died Tuesday, gave way to pitcher Paul Bishop after Konopasek s swat. Bishop was tremendously eflective in relief. Only one batter got on base against him in the 4 2'.i innings that he hurled. Ken Jensen tripled in the seventh on a fly to right that outfielder Bianclii almost snared on a long run. jen.-ieii was out trying to come home after the catch of Barry's foul flyout back of first base. Cal Dean, first man to face Bishop in trie third inning, hit into a double play. So Bishop's Tuesday ended with a twin kill. Bat ters were retired in order in the fourth, filth and sixth inn ings. Klamath outhit Medford in the game 12 to 7. KF collected its first run in the second session when Steve Binney tripled over Quinney's head in center field and scored on Dave Saks' tap fly to right pasture. Another counter went in the book in the fourth panel on a hit by Griggs, an overthrow error, a groundout by Sherm Allen and a wild pitch by Anderson. One-base smacks by John Bi anchi and Don Willey and a ground out by Bishop gained a Pelican tally in the fifth canto, making the score 7 to 3. Close at Plate With one out in the sixth inning, Bruce Bricknur and Allen hit safely for the Pels. Binney was out on a deep foul fly to left fielder Jim Barry. Then Saks singled. Brickner, trying to score all the way from second base, was put out on Barry's throw on a close play at the plate. Brickner and Pel Boach Bill Mansfield both disputed the ruling of out by plate Umpire Bill Es solstyn. Hits In the seventh stanza for two runs were by Bianchi, pinch hitter Henry Herrera, Wiley and Depew. The first three blows were off Tornado opening chucker Anderson. Quinney gave up another hit. But the game was saved as a seventh win of the season for Anderson when Griggs fouled out, Quinney fanned Brickner and Allen knocked the ball to third baseman Cal Dean who threw to "irst for the out. Medford first baseman Low ell Dean suffered a shoulder bruise when he collided with catcher Dave Saks at home plate in the first inning. There's a question as to wheth er he'll be able to see service against North Eugene. After the collision, Dean played through the second inning and got a hit in his second appearance at the plate. ling at least twice a week. The film runs only two min utes and four seconds but it holds the key to the strategy that will enable me to win back the heavyweight title from Ingemar Johansson on June 20. Joe - everybody up here calls him "the chainp"-was just the greatest that night. Even Dan Florio, my trainer, is a little bit awed when he watches the perfect fight in those pictures. Joe has helped me. that I know. We had several lone pleasant talks. He talked to me frankly about my weak nesses whiie we watched mov- of my ti:sv fipht with Jo hansson, did a li'tlo running in the woods or just sat around chatting. He showed me how I can avoid the same mistakes this time. They say no heavyweight champion ever regained his title and they're right. But they don't explain that no other fighter ever had the op- portunity lo regain it when he was only 25 years old as i j nm 1 NOW OPEN 24 HOURS To Serve You Better rriMPiFTF I .

Estes Ke fauver's latest sports bill now in the hands of the full Sen ate Judiciary c o m m i 1 1 e e "should smoke out" the major leagues' position on expan sion. "If they really want to have only 16 major league clubowners. this'U smoke it out," said Shea. "And, if they want 24 or more major league clubowners, some basis for agreement will be found." The bill which was sent to Sen. James Eastland's judici ary committee without recom mendation was modified to remove the proposed limit of 100 players each major league club could control under Ke fauver's original bill, it was learned in Washington by United Press International. It also was learned that a companion provision to make all players above the number of 40 controlled by any one club subject to major league draft once a year would re main unchanged. Shea told a press confer ence earlier in the day that Continental League officials believe that organized base ball's influence in Congress was strong enough to prevent passage of a bill limiting play er control.
