I MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, ORE. TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1M0 Liston Challenges Ex-Champ After Third Round K.O. Win Over Folley Win Removes Any Doubts About Power Denver- (UPD -Sonny Liston the steel-fisted Philadelphia Negro whose knockout of Zora Folley Monday night made him the most logical contender for the heavyweight crown, challenged Ingemar Johansson today for the right to battle Champion Floyd Patterson. ' Liston, who had rocketed to the snot as ranking con tender for the crown with eight successive knockouts of relatively obscure opponents, removed any doubts about the cower in his 14-tnch lists Mon day night. He floored the ouick-fisted Folley, one of the division's best boxers, for the 10 count with 28 seconds gone in the third round. Down Twice The 215V4-pound Liston put Folley, who weighed 198W, down twice on nine counts in .the second round. Only the bell saved the Chandler, Ariz. veteran for the third round finish of the scheduled 12 rounder. Liston's manager. Pep Ba- rone, said his slugger was eager to fight Johansson, the ex-champion from Sweden, for the opportunity to face Patterson in a championship bout. But Patterson and- Jo hansson are slated for a re match, and Liston may have to wait. "We'll take Johansson next," Barone said. "If we can't beat Johansson, then Jo hansson would have the right to fight Patterson again." Liston has a grudge against the good-looking Swede, who wouldn't permit the Phila- delphian into-the ring for an introduction during the last Patterson-Johansson fight in New York. Stroud Tops Stroud In Unique Contest Stroud, Okla. - ff!?D - A 22-year-old Oklahoman skilled at throwing the discus won the first world brick - throwing championship Saturday in a contest between this brick- making town and Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. ' Dan Erwin, of Chandler, Okla., tossed a five -pound brick 104 feet, six inches, to claim the title for the United States. The best the British could do was 84 feet, the mark f et by Allen Benard, 22. STANDINGS ..i,wi'iiinii'i iiiihiw imiiiiim mi m asmim n im . mm iii mmi.'iUM"" 'iwii II II' '5 Jl3 " Lrt ; .

Both men looked strong in the first round but Liston floored Folley twice in the second and then put him away for good in the third. Liston has since challenged ex-champ Ingemar Johann son for the right to fight Floyd Patterson. tUPI Telephoto) National League Announces Plans For Team Expansion Chicago -(ITD- The National league is going ahead with plans for expansion to 10 teams despite a warning by the Continental league that such a move would lead to economic disaster."

COMFORTABLE CREDIT , AT BARKER'S ' take up to six monthsl PAY Vi OF YOUR BALANCE EACH MONTH BARKER'S Main-Central Rogue Valley Country club men's club championship golf tournament moved into its third' round this week with the 1959 titlist out of the run ning.

Wilson won 1 up Russian Star No Match for Rafer Johnson Moscow UPD Unless Vasili Kuznetsov improves consider ably over his decathlon per formance In the Soviet nation al championships, he will not be much of a match for America's Rafer Johnson the Olympics next month. Kuznetsov, who held the world decathlon record until Johnson broke it at Eugene, Ore., July 8 and 9, won the Russian national champion ship Monday, but his 7,737 point total was unimpressive. Johnson, who beat Kuznet sov in the 1956 Olympics at Melbourne, set a world record of 8,683 points earlier this month. Kuznetsov held the previous mark of 8,357. Soviet track experts ack nowledged that Kuznetsov's competition here was not as tough as that which he will meet at Rome and that he was not pressed to his best performance.

Set No Deadline In essence, the National league was ready to tell the fledgling Continental loop: "If you can't get going on this matter of expansion, we'll take it over." Although Giles stressed no deadline had been set, base ball men agreed it could be next season. The most likely expansion arrangement ap peared to be the addition of New York and Houston to the National league, with Minne-apolis-St. Paul and either To ronto or a second Los Angeles team joining the American league. The American league has gone on record favoring ex pansion but has said it could not proceed unless the NL did likewise. American league President Joe Cronin said in Boston that he maintained all along ex pansion was "inevitable." "I am happy to know they are considering it," Cronin commented. "We have the ma chinery for it. We made it possible by an amendments our constitution some years ago. We have a realignment committee and a catastrophe plan we could use to give players to new teams." 'No Merger Ideas' In New York, Bill Shea, chairman of the Continental league founder group, said the proposed third major league has no ideas about folding and-or merging with the ma jors. "None of our owners have any thought of defecting to the American or National league," Shea said. "There is a substantial penalty to be paid by anyone who defects. "I have said all along that the majors would not expand from within," Shea continued. "Branch Rickey has said the same thing. Adding ninth and tenth teams in the American and National leagues would prove economically disas trous , , ," Giles, following Monday's meeting, said: "We are ready to go. We are taking this ac tion to expedite expansion." The owners named a com mittee of four. They were Walter O'Malley, Los Angeles; Lou Perini, Milwaukee; John Galbreath, Pittsburgh, and Bob Carpenter, Philadelphia. Giles said he believed the committee would contact with the American league and the Contiental league immediate ly to set up a meeting. The expansion committee immediately notified Rickey of the developments. They in formed him of the vote to "implement expansion via the Continental league or in creased membership." The committee also invited Rickey to meet with the Na tional league committee at his convenience to advise him of a time and place for the meeting.

Skinner Takes Race at- Vallejo Lon Skinner, Medford, drove "crazy" Sunday at Val lejo, Calif., and took first place in the unlimited un blown boat race at the first annual Vallejo, Calif., All American Regatta. Skinner, skippering an 18- foot Rayson Craft ski boat, took the races with first places in two of the three heats. The boat, named "crazy," is powered by a 400 horsepower Cadillac motor. Lon s boat broke a rudder just after getting into first place with a lap to go In the first heat in which nine boats were entered. He borrowed a rudder for the next two heats. In the second heat Skinner finished ahead of Ray Nivalo, San Francisco, and in the third run beat out Carl Dleth son, also of San Francisco, for first. Heats were two laps each. Since there were not enough supercharged (blown) boats to make up a separate race, these craft ran in the third heat of the unlimited boats.
