Publinx Qualifying Paced
By Ex-Marine's 64 Round
m
DENVER. July 23 WlJimmy
Clark, yellow-haired 25-year-old
California!!, was hot after med
alist honors today as the 188
golfers remaining in the national
public links tournament teed off
for a second qualifying tour of
the difficult Wellshire municipal
course.
The Long Beach youngster,
who shot a 64 lowest medal
score on record in USGA com
petition at the last tournament
in Spokane, Wash., in 1941, fired
another 64 yesterday to take a
five-stroke lead over his nearest
competitors.
The dry, sun-baked layout, so
tough that four men withdrew
after testing the first nine, was
no problem for Clark, whose
irons were near-perfect as he re
turned to competition after four
years of service in the marine
corps.
He hit the pins with four on
his approach shots and when a
hot putter was needed he had
that, too. On the sixth he sank
a 30-footer for one of his seven
birdies.
Closest behind Clark as the
shotmakers from 30 states, Can
ada and the Hawaiian islands
began the last lap of the 36-hole
qualifying test were Buck Gann
and Arthur St. John of Tulsa,

The middleweight title bout be
tween Champion Tony Zale of
Gary. Ind.. and Challenger
Rocky Graziano of New York,
scheduled for Thursday night at
Yankee stadium, was postponed

of intercostal neuritis. A new

John T. O'Connell of Chicago,
a friend of the champion s man
agers, was summoned from New

bout after conferring on the mat

Pian and Art Winch, and
Graziano's manager, Irving

SALT LAKE CITY, July 23 (JP) Tiger Jack Fox of Spo
kane was completely satisfied with his third round technical
knockout win over Windmill Pcnrce of Roosevelt, Utah, last
night so when the referee had his mind changed by the crowd,
Fox just couldn't be found.
Referee Al Ablett stopped the bout in the third after Fox
unloosed a bairage of lefts and rights which dropped "the
Windmill" twice in the round.
Pearce, who objected to being called "badly outclassed,"
threw a couple of blows at the referee, then climbed from the
ring and headed for the dressing room only to be halted by
fans who wanted more fight.
Pearce climbed back in the ring but Fox, content to leave
things as they stood, couldn't be found.
Which prompted Referee Ablett to ask:
"Whaddaya want; he slugged me five times and didn't
hurt me, so how the ... is he gonna hurt Fox?"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23 (JP)
As noted in this column some
time back, boxing promoters in
the United States could prepare
for an invasion of Filipino box
ers, now that 4he war Is over
and the ring sport returned to
the Philippines on a commercial
basis.
Star Misamis, a bull-necked,
pleasant little fellow, is here
now and, from all accounts, he
is better than a green hand at
swinging his dukes.
The 25-year-old Filipino is the
authentic lightweight and wel
terweight champion of the Phil
ippines and the Manila Courier
gave him a fitting send-off in
its sports column when he sail
ed. Misamis weighs 135 pounds.
In 46 fights his record lists 32
knockouts. The only two de
feats charged against him were
decisions won by a countryman,
Speedy Cabanella, who current
ly is boxing In California. It was
necessary for Misamis to make
130 pounds for Cabanella and
he says the weight reduction
served to weaken him. He hasn't
i.n ounce of surplus fat.
The imposing string of kayoes
bespeaks Misamis' style of bat
tling. He wades in and throws
punches How he will fare in
this country is something else
again, but he isn't choosy about
opponents, which is more than
many of our domestic ring men
can say. All he wants practical
ly right off the bat is a chance
to tangle with the NBA light
weight champ, Ike Williams.
The best of the women pro
players will get $1000 of the
$3500 prize pay-off. Should an
amateur win. she will get $100
