PAGE EIGHT HERALD & NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON TUKSDAY, JULY 1. 10S2 ATS YANK by Re4 Hard! THE OLYMPIC GAMES, always ton drawer In tha snorts world, will have added spice this year when the tracK and ueia events are un ravelled In Finland next month. It will be Interesting to see If Russia has the strength It boasts. My guess is the Russians will be caught with their boasts down. Glowing reports pop out from be hind the Iron Curtain that Red athletes are Jumping like kanga roos, running like gazelles. But the big majority of the re ports are unofficial and treated with skepticism In the United States. The chips will be down In the Helsinki classic. It's virtually a foregone conclu sion the Americans are a shoo-in again in the cinder department The Russ have never competed in spike events In the International competition so it's mainly a matter of guesswork to determine Red talent. Germans, re-entering the Games again for the first time since ituo, are making noises again. Both Germany and Russia say they'll get "their quota ot points. It's my belief "their quota" won't be much. BACKERS OF Rocky MarciBno who meets Hary (Kid) Matthews July 28 In BYankee stadium orawi, sk "who has Matthews fought?" A logical question, but one that can also be asked of the Brockton Blockbuster. , . , When Marciano fought and knocked out Joe Louis he was fighting a name, not a man. In bis most recent outing, Mar ciano looked far from good in beat ing aged Lee BavoldV a- veteran who has long since been wallop weary. Both have beaten Rex Layne, whose only claim to fame was a win over Jersey Joe Wolcott when the Old Man had an off night. Perhaps the answer is that both Matthews and Marciano fans arent sure of how good their boys are. Matthews has style. He can box. j Marciano swings with emphasis1 but can't be called a cutie as a boxer. Both can hit, but hard. Class should tell. Lest readers ot this column forget. I picked Mat thews last week to win in six heals. AT THE same time, I picked Sugar Ray Robinson to beat Joey Maxim. I missed on this one, but still maintain the heat had more to do with Sugar's defeat than did Pal Joey. At least its a breathed a sigh of relief when Robinson crumpled to the canvas near the end of the 13th without the benefit of a Maxim punch. Robinson was ahead on two scor ing cards 10-3 and 9-3-1 when the end came. c He could have played hide-and- seek for two rounds with Maxim and won handily. I don t leel badly about missing on this one. And I made an army of sccond guessers happy. They may have their innings again July 28. "r - ! - - IWTW BACH -Li iVmiV.

Staley registered his 10th success in the Cardinals' 7-4 win over Cincinnati. LEADERS LOSE Both big league pace-setters suf fered surprising defeats as rookie Dick urodowsxj pitched the Bos ton Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Yankees in New York and vet eran Karl Drews hurled the Phlla delDhia Phils to a 4-0 win over the Dodgers in Brooklyn. The Yankees now are three and a half games ahead oi Boston and Chicago. Cleveland and the St. Louis Browns were idle, causing the In dians to drop into fifth place.
