TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1953 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Seattle LA ' Br The Associated Fresi Seattle and Los Angeles engage In a seven-gome scries, starting Tuesday . night, . that is strictly "make or break'' for'tlie Angels. ' Manager' Stan Hack wasn't sup ' posed to have a Ilrst division team during the tpring training, but three months have come and gone and the Angels not only are In first division, but only six games back ot the Pacific Coast League leading Seattle Rainlers. Still, Los Angelea will have to take this series at Wrlgley Field .to make inroads on the Seattle ,lead. The Angels took the Portland Beavers apart here and Portland proceeded to win five of eight from Seattle, and in Seattle, at that. Open On that kind of reasoning, the Angels could come through, but Manager Bill Sweeney seems to have the class of the league, even if bis Rainlejs are only i i games in front of Hollywood, the 1953 champs. . ' ,. ; Sweeney has been' quoted as say lng he thinks Hollywood Is tha team his club has to beat to win the ennant, "But I think we're going to win It." and he likes Los Angeles to stay in the running right down to the wire and make things interesting. , This series is the first this year between the Angels and Rainlers. Los Angeles has only two lefties, Joe Hatten and Joe Ostrowskl, to throw at the overpowering array Baseball In Trouble: By GAYLE TALBOT. ' NEW, YORK WV-In the wake of the Yankees' sacking and pillag ing of the last remaining Indian settlement on Lake Erie, columnist Ed McAuley of the Cleveland New says in sepulchral tones: . "Organized baseball is in trouble. Its ailments will be aggravated seriously if the four.tiine winners continue to make, a Joke of the 'flag race." Truer words were seldom spok- en. li the American League thinks It has a headache in Its various television problems. Just wait until Casey Stengel's runaways increase - their lead to 18 or 20 games along in August. KNOTHEADS Who, for Instance,' beyond a few homeless ' knotheads from t be Bronx , would be Interested In watching the big team win Its 19th . straight tonight at the expense of the St. Louis Browns, losers of 14 In a row? It could get worse than that, though not much. As McAuley goes on to say, no- Body wishes the Yankees to let up. "The task of balancing the league-belongs to the clubs behind them, not to the conquering lead ers," he sighs. But in the following " paragraph, Ed concedes Ihere is uo prospect of relief soon: "Doggedly, patiently and no doubt expensively the clubs which trail the Yankees will have to dup licate their operation, not only on -the field but In the front office. So far only one owner, Tom Yawk ey of Boston, has shown the ability and the disposition to match check books with the champions." MESS ' ' Coining from Cleveland, where the suffering must be intense, these remarks are unusually tolerant and well timed. They are not the cry of the wounded, but simply a statement of fact that -the Ameri can League has a mess on Its hands. The Yankees are much too good for their opposition, and at tendance Is going to suffer the re mainder of the summer. t ; At least a half-dozen local fans who make an occasional visit to Yankee Stadium have told me in recent days they are through for this year, at least. They don't blame the Yank players for whoop ing It up and going for that (6,000 World Series cut. They just no longer are interested 'When there is no pennant race.. Series of left-band batters in the Seattle used in relief roles almost exclus ively. Los Angeles is showing the way In the number of men lft on base, and the lack of long ball hit ters In the clutch was hurt Hack's team. Hack is hoping for lue early return or home run slugger Max West, who has been out of uni form since early in the season with a bad knee. 1 . Hollywood engages Sacramento In another topflight series this week. The Sacs, under Gene Desau tels, are playing good baseball and they have the league's leading hit ter In Bob Dillinger. He and Nip Jones are the only .300 hitters, but the Sacs have several other dang erous men at the plate in the .260 to .290 range. . Turner Wins Split 70- Round Decision By RALPH BERNSTEIN PHILADELPHIA Boxing has reached the point where damage to a fighter's future sometimes is of more concern than damage to me anatomy, on- that score Oil Turner and Johnny Saxon both emerged unscathed last night al though Turner put the finish to friend Johnny's i unbeaten status. Turner won a split 10-round .decision in a fast and furious tight at v.onnie juacx stadium. The action-packed bout was a thriller from start to finish and the crowd of 14,676 went home satisfied it had got Its $70,925 worn. . t CARD Judge Jimmy Mcnna said Turner won 4-3-3: Judge Dave Beloff picked him 5-4-1; Referee Zach C'ayton liked Saxton 5-4-1. The Associated -Press picked Turner 6-3-2. The action was that close. Before the fight, the two 22-year-old battlers were looking ahead as well as thinking about the fight. Turner hadn't looked too good in his last few fights. One school of thought said the furious punching Phlladelphian was burned out. He had to win to maintain his No. S welterweight ranking and quality for another shot at Kid Cavllan's 147-pound crown. On the other hand, Saxton had won 39 lights and fought one draw. Despite this fancy record, Johnny was unable to crash the big money fights. This was his chance. RESULT What was the result? Well, Turner won and proved he wasn't burned out. He fought hard for 10 rounds and with a slashing body attack and occasional Jolting right hand to the face gained the split verdict. Hell probably fight Chuck Davey In July or August, and If he wins will get an oppor tunity Id the fall to avenge his 11-round knockout by Gavllan. Oil's gaudy record now reads 37 wins and 3 defeats. Saxton. - who weighed !47'i. proved his class. The fast, shifty counterpuncher stayed with Turn er, who came In at 153'i, all the way.
