HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON
WEDNESDAY. JULY HI, 1052
EARL TVRNER confustd me
somewhat when tie displayed In
difference t Uie choice of tudset
before Saturday night's shindig
With Indian Dick Wolfe.
I was out of town when Wolfe
lifted the Earl's Northwest middle
wetsht title here.
So when I caueht Turner at the
Armory the first nlKht he hailed
into town (or workout, two nichM
before the rematch. I broached
the Miblect as tactfully and deli
cately as possible.
"Yes. I thought I won the first
HbM," he said softly with a Brln.
in answer to my query.
I assured him that every flRht
Jan I could round up agreed with
But Turner. modest, likeable
boxing; veteran who looks as con
tented, as a kitten full of milk when
he's pounding the piano, didn't
have a beef.
"I could be wrong, he added.
I REMINDKD him that three
; new olflcials had been rounded up
for Uie rematch.
What should have been Rood
news to a' ftuv who lost his title
because a couple of guys were
looking the otlier way. made hlUe
more impression on Turner than if
he'd been told Uiat rain was pre
dicted the next day.
He shrugged, and with a twinkle
in his eye. murmured "It aoesn I
make any difference who the
judges are."
I no longer wondered at his in
difference when he sprawled Wolfe
on the canvas with one of the most
wicked right-hand punches I've
seen in two decades of watching
box-fights.
For all the Earl of Richmond
was concerned, the judges could
have "stood in bed."
All he wanted was a referee who
could count to ten.
Turner's short right-hand bomb
a sportsman to the end. the
Oakland Negro called it a "lucky
punch" cleared the air and sent
a houseful of fans away satisfied.
TURNER IS a polished work
man who will always be welcomed
by the fans here.
The clout customers would now
like to see Turner against either
lirsal Snapp or Phil Sampson. -
Eittier match sounds like a turn
stile tune from here.
Snapp. inactive for well over a
year, intimates he'd like a tune-up
bout first.
Sampson challenged the winner
of Saturday's fight.
Turner, who did a first-class
renovating: job Saturday night, will
probably be called on before the
summer turns to fall, to clear the
air some more.
3ecause Snapp still lays claim
to the Northwest middleweight
crown.
When Enapp left to finish his
schooling in Southern California.
Northwest boxing moguls felt be
was. for an practical purposes, ab
dicating the throne.
An elimination tournament was
held and Turner won.
Regardless of who Is Tight in
the controversy, there's just one
wsy to settle it.
1 think it would pack the Armory.
THE KOREAN squabble can be
cut down as the main reason minor
leagues are having trouble staying
alive.
But another reason Is lack of
finances, as this city well knows
when they waved goodbye to the
Far West League.
The Major Leagues admittedly
need their farm clubs in the
Minors.
For this reason, this corner
comes up with a suggestion:
Instead of paying five and six
figure bonus checks to untried
rookies, why not spend that money
to keep the minor league clubs
open for business. ,
This matter hits home in Klam
ath Falls.
If the Philadelphia Nationals, the
Gems' parent club, had helped-the
Gems more and the same thing
had been done by other parent
clubs in the Far West League
baseball-hungry fans would be
watching baseball games this sum
mer. And Gems Stadium, a good base
ball park, would be filled with
baseball fans, not termites.

star - spangled forces will taste
1963 Olympic competition Wednes
day night for the first time but
their chances of success are far
from bright.
The first U. S. contingent to
flex its muscles will be the soccer
team. It meets the very good Ital
ian eleven at Tampere. 100 miles
out in the country from Helsinki,
in a qualifying match.
Soccer never has been a strong
point in American sports competi
tion. The U. S. team was beaten
in the first round at London four
years ago.
Although the Olympics don't
open oflicially for another three
days, competition has been going
on since Monday. Two qualifying
rounds of basketball nave oeeu
completed. The first round of
field hockey and the first soccer
matches were played Tuesday
night.
FREE PASS " '
The field hockey Is the only
sport in which the United States
is not represented. The basketball
and soccer both are qualifying
competitions for the later Olympic
tournaments. The U. S. got a free
pass in basketball.
The last big contingent of the
powerful Russian Olympic team
arrives late Wednesday afternoon
10 railroad carloads including
wrestlers, boxers and weight Wiers.
More than 230 Russians came in
last Saturday in a plush-lined
train from Leningrad.
The Russians probably will be
happy to see the reinforcements
alter their first venture into Olym
pic competition Tuesday night.
The highly - touted Red Army
soccer team from Moscow had to
come from behind in an overtime
to put down neighboring Bulgaria,
2 to 1. The soccer matches are
played on a o n e-1 o s s-and-you're-out
plan and the Soviets had been
labeled favorites for the Olympic
gold medal.

Joining Bulgaria on the sidelines
were India. Romania, France and
Greece who were beaten in order
by Yugoslavia, Hungary, Poland
