SEATTLE. July 13 (P) Man
uel Ortiz, the undisputed ban
tamweight champion of the
world, demonstrated his right to
the title here last night with an
Impressive seventh-round tech
nical knockout over Joe Robleto
of Pasudena, Calif.
Battered and groggy, the chal
lenger was hanging to the ropes
with his head bobbing back and
forth like a punching bag from
the chomplon's swings when
Referee Eddie Pinkman stopped
it at the end of a minute In the
seventh round.
The bout, first in Seattle for
more than a year, was scheduled
for IS rounds for the bantam
weight title and though both
boys were Inside the weight
limit Ortiz 117i and Robleto
117 tho title was never in
danger.
Robloto, who twice before lost
decisions to the bantam klni!,
was willing and fast, but he
simply didn't have the punch to
stop the champion, or even to
slow him up.
Tho bout started cautiously
and though Ortiz took the first
two rounds by a shade and Rob
leto uncovered a flurry that gave
1 him credit for tho third, the first
real fireworks were in the
' fourth. In that canto, Ortiz trap-
ped Robleto In a corner In tho
final minute and slugged him
viciously to the body.
Tha champion Increased his
lead In the fifth and then really
went to work in the sixth, clout
ing Robleto with right and lefts
to the head and body. The chal
lenger slumped to the floor for
a nine count midway in tho
round and was groggy when he
got back up. Ortiz poured in
I again with his plston-llke hands
and tho challenger went down a
! second time but was up at tho
count of eight as the bell sound
! , . ......
I The sovonth was simply a
punching exhibition until Pink-
man stepped in.

Leo Durocher has no Intention

flare-up among the players last
weekend.
Reports were that Durocher
told his players Sunday that he
was going to tender his resigna

but later changed his mind after
talking with several of the
coaches.
"As far as I am concerned,
it is a closed issue," said Dur
ocher. "I have no intention of
resigning."
The ire of the players was
raised over the reason for the

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.

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

SALT LAKE CITY, July 13
(VP) The jinx that has been fol

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.
Schneiter snatched the title
from him yesterday, burning up
the fairways with an elght-under-par
64. It was the best
score of the tournament and only
one stroke under the competitive
record for the 6303-yard Coun
try Club course set last year at
63 by Paul Jopes of Whittier,
Calif.
Schneiter had come from be
hind In earlier rounds to tie the
score at 263 at the end of reg

day, forcing yesterday's playoff.
Harman yesterday took a 37
going out and a 36 inbound for
a 73 card, one over par.

Gunder Haegg will take on Gil

mile at Kezar stadium here
Saturday.
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

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

me to run the mile in Boston" at

American League Slugger
Gets Chance in All-Star
NEW YORK, July 13 UP)
Thanks to a switch in the slug
ging list during the past week,
the American league will be able
to send its batting leader into
action tonight in the major lea
gue all-star game.
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
