Zivic Jolts Jolt in' Jake For Decision PITTSBURGH, July 13 P He's 30 years old and his legs aren't the tireless legs they wero when he wore the, welterweight crown, but Fritzie Zivic is still in there fighting and he isn't far from the top of the class. , He proved it last night in fif teen rounds of superb boxing with 20-year-old Joltin' Jake Lamotta, the only man to beat Ray "Sugar" Robinson, though the Brooklyn boy came back hard enough in the last five rounds to win the backing of one Judge. "It was a tougher fight than the first one," admitted Zivic, who lost a split decision to La motta in the same Forbes field ring last June 10, "but I feel sure I was ahead all the time." And the crowd of 13,562, who paid $46,018, agreed that he was as he kept Lamotta, who out weighed him by six and one-half pounds, at the painful end of a tantalizing left Jab.

When In Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and -Anne Earlay Propriatora world champion Cardinal's cast, Including his right-hand rlfle baller, Mort Cooper. But, Yan kee Managor Joe McCarthy, af ter looking over his American league squad, has come up with a lineup that bears a striking re semblance to double talk in braille. All sign now point to a sell out of some 33,000, cash custom ers and a gate of about $70,000 for the bat and ball fund. Of course, by the time all the noses are counted, even McCar thy will know who's going to start for the American league. But when he announced his line up, he not only didn t know his starting elbower although the general guess was that it would be Ernie (Tiny) Bonham of the Yinks but he was also at a loss about his catcher; he wasn't sure about his outfield, and the only thing definite about his infield was that there would be one. Marse Joe had his mind made up only about his center-fielder, who will be Chet Laabs, the homer-hammerer of the St. Louis Browns; his shortstop, who will be fence-busting Vern Stephens, also of the Brownies; and his third-sacker, who will be Ken Keltner, the Cleveland Indians' long-ball belter. The National leaguers, gener ally, were as cocky as the town bully as they surveyed what ap peared to be their first real edge in both pitching and power in the 1 1 years of the series. ! The senior circuit squad lost Howie Pollet, the Cards' crack; lefty, to the army overnight, ad Ace Adams, the New York Gi-I ants' relief specialist was named, to the squad in his place. How-! ever, Cooper is backed up by the Pittsburgh star Tructt Sewell, Claude Passeau of the Cubs, and Max Lanier, the Card southpaw. Supporting these hurlers, Southworth made up a batting order of blockbusters who've hit for an average of .301 as a group for the season except for pitch ers. This gives them a big bulge, on paper, over the American league larrupers considered most likely to start, for their "par" this summer has been a mere .266. Such being the case, there was something to the Na tional leaguers' optimism. In fact, -the American league maintained its margin in only one of its specialties the home run. The eight likely opening headed by five members of his Sir Harman Drops Match To Schneiter SALT LAKE CITY, July 13 (VP) The jinx that has been fol lowing Sid Harman around since 1926 when he first started com peting in Utah open golf tourna ments ran true to form and the Walla Walla, Wash., pro dropped the 1943 title to Salt Lake City's George Schneiter in an 18-hole playoff. For 17 years Harman has been pursuing the Utah open title. He often has finished in the money and several times has been run nerup but he never has won.

The touring Swedish runner made it plain he didn't like the idea at all, but he agreed to the contest on his arrival yesterday after long argument by the spon sors of his San Francisco ap pearance. The many reasons Haegg ad vanced did not include the fact that Dodds, whom he defeated in the two mile In Los Angeles last Saturday, is the country's champion miler. To his Olympic club hosts and others who wanted him to race the mile here, he replied through an interpreter: He was not yet in condition for the short to him distance. He would rather do two miles or a mile and a quarter. Moreover, Dan Ferris, AAU secretary in New York, "told me to run the mile in Boston" at the close of his current tour.

The Browns' Vernon Stephens, one of the few heavy hitters se lected for the team by American league managers, produced his ten-hit quota last week, and climbed back to the league lead over Guy Curtrlght, the White Sox rookie whose average began to drop when his long batting streak ended. Stephens' ten hits in 28 times was pointed out attendance would suffer if he refused to run the mile. The lanky runner finally gave his interpreter this message to the local delegation: ' "Tell them I think it is defin itely the wrong race for me to run, that I would not change my mind for any other .reason in the world, but that I will do so because you assure me it will make a big difference in the fluids to be earned for the Amer ican army air force aid society.
