Inability To Win at Home Hurts Dodgers By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles - (UPD - The in ability to win at home proved costly today to the Los An geles Dodgers, who were a half a game behind the San Francisco Giants in the Na tional league standings. The Dodgers dropped out of first place Tuesday night when they lost a 2-1 deci sion to the Milwaukee Braves while the Giants were beat ing Cincinnati. The Dodgers got good pitch ing, but not good enough to match the mound mastery of Lew Burdette, who posted his sixth straight victory after having lost lour in a row at the start of the season. The defeat was a heart breaker for Sandy Koufax who gave up only one earn ed run in the eight innings he worked and struck out 13 men, the 38th time in his major league career that he had fanned 10 or more in game and the seventh time this season. But it went into the books as Koufax's second straight defeat of the current home stand during which the Dod gers have dropped seven games while winning only four. "I'd settle most times to holding an opposing team to just two runs," manager Walt Alston said. "Two runs won't win many games but they did last night." WON YACHT RACE Poole, England - (UPD -American boatman Dr. Brit ton Chance sailed Complex III to the 5.5 meter yacht world championship in Poole Bay Tuesday. John B., steer ed by R. H. Symonette of the Bahamas, finished second in the overall standings. Divisions Recognized In Boxing New York - (UPD - For the first time in 32 years The Ring magazine today recog nized the synthetic "junior lightweight" and "junior wel terweight" divisions in box ing. Recognition of those re vived 130-pound and 140 pound classes was announced as The Ring released its latest ratings, which now contain the top 10 junior lightweights and top 10 junior welters. Those two divisions were generally recognized in the 1920's, but generally abolish ed in the 1930's - although revived in isolated Instances now and then since. Flash Elorde of the Philip pines is junior lightweight champion, and Duilio Loi of Italy is king of the junior welters. Light heavyweight cham pion Harold Johnson of Phila delphia was named "Fighter of the Month" because of his successful defense last Satur day against Germany's Gus tav Scholz, who kept his fifth place rating for giving John son a hard, 15-round fight. Allen Thomas of Chicago moved into lOtrr place among the light heavies as a replace ment for Lennart Risberg of Sweden who dropped out of the top 10 because of hi; knockout by Bobo Olson of Portland, Ore., No. 7 con tender. Former world heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson of Sweden remained at fourth place among the heavies, de spite his recapture of the European title on a knockout over unranked Dick Richard son of Wales. Sonny Liston, Eddie Machen and Zora Fol ley kept their ratings above Johansson in that order. SPLIT DECISION Tacoma - IUPII - Bobby Horn Eugene, scored a split decision over Herb LeSueur of Ta coma in a 10-round middle weight bout Tuesday night. By HAL WOOD San Francicso-flJPU - Amer ica's world supremacy in track and field is in jeopardy be cause of the battle between the National Amateur Athletic union and the U. S. Track and Field federation (college coaches). Coaches, officials and ath letes agree that something must be done and soon to draw the two warring factions together so that the country can put its finest athletes on die line in international com petition. "This is a revolution," says John Oelkers of Tulane, coach of the United States team against the Russians, "and history shows that revolutions always weaken a country, if not totally destroy it. ' Oelkers. a college coach, is in the middle to some extent, He can see both sides of the problem. But even more in the middle are the athletes themselves. Oregonians Cited There's the case of Univer sity of Oregon's fine sub-four minute milers, Dyrol Burle son and Keith Foreman, not running in the mile in the AAU meet. Their coach, Bill Bowerman, is a prime mover in (he track federation and personally at war with the AAU. And there are other in stances. It's good for the ath letes, and it's not good for U. S. international competi tion. The AAU, an autocratic or ganization in the past, is feel ing the pressure. In an at tempt to get support from the athletes, the AAU has named Bill Sharpe of the Philadel phia Pioneer club and Jim Beatty of the Los Angeles Track Club as "player repre-1 sentativas for the Poland and Russia meets. Beatty is articulate and forward-looking, in addition to being one of the world's great est athletes. Backs Cooperation The AAU and the track coaches have just got to get together," says the little miler. "We've got to pull together if we are going to keep on top. Neither side is all right or ' all wrong." i One of the short-sighted ac tions of the AAU has been the failure of the organization to consider NCAA coaches forj anything except to develop! talent. They have no say in: regulatory matters. They have no voting privileges. Another has been a failure ; to have post-college clubs where athletes can train. About 80 per cent of top U.S. ' college athletes quit training! after they finish school. In i foreign countries they are just starting to reach their peak in their late twenties. O'BRIEN IN POLITICS Seattle-OIPD-Johnny O'Brien, who tossed in lots of baskets during his basketball career at Seattle university, Tuesday night tossed his hat into the political arena. O'Brien an nounced at the King county Republican convention h e would be a candidate for King county commissioner from the central district on the GOP ticket.

A Cods 265C A Scagrdtuj Close Meet Predicted By Russian Moscow -WPP- The coach of the Russian track and field team today predicted a verv close contest when his squad meets a United States team at Stanford, Calif., next month. "It would be no mistake to say that our fourth match with the American team will be the most difficult," Gavril Korobkov said. "The Americans have good coaches and good programs and we can't afford to under estimate them in any of the events." The Russian team probably will include two men and two women who set world rec ords this spring. The one who will be of most interest to U.S. fans is Igor TerOvanesyan, who just two weeks ago soared 27 feet, 3H inches to break the world broad Jump mark of 27-2 set by Ralph Boston of Tennessee State in Moscow last year. Vladimir Trusencv is the other new men's rocord-hold- er on the strength of his 202 foot, 2 inch discus throw ear lier this month. In the U.S meet he will be up against Al Oerter of West Babylon, N.Y., the first man ever to clear 200 feet, and Jay Silvester of Santa Clara, Calif. In the women's division, Tamara Press set a new shot put record of 60.86 feet dur ing a meet at Leipzig, East Germany, June 10, and on the same day teammate Tatyana Tschclkanova bettered her own broad jump mark by leaping 21 feet, 5Vs inches.
