Questions
Arise
Over Riot
By CAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK WV-After one has
gone Into the strange affair at
faome length, he does not wonder
that there was a certain amount
of confusion Just before darkness
descended upon Busch Stadium In
St. Louis Jast Sunday.
He wonders, rather, that there
occurred no more than a small
size riot between members of the
St. Louis Cardinals and Philadel
phla Phils, that a game was for
feited to the Phils, and tnai Man
ager Eddie Stanley of the Cards
wound up with no worse than a
fine and suspension and making a
public apology to the faas of his
town. The possibilities were mucn
greater than that.
To recall the circumstances, the
Phils were leading 81 and were
still at bat In the top of the fifth, j
Once they were out and the Cards
had taken their turn, it would have
been a legal game and, probably,
a Philadelphia victory. The sun
was down, stankyand apparently
vervhodv else In the park was
under the Impression that the
lights could not be switched on to
complete a game wai nan mntu
after 8 o'clock.
So. as Is common in such cases.
Stanky stalled for time. He brought
In fresh pitchers at the drop of a
foul. Tempers flared and there
were fisticuffs. Finally, with two
Phils out, Umpire Babe Plnelll lost
patience and forfeited the thing to
the visitors.
National League President War
ren Olles, In upholding the for
feiture and meting out punishment,
observed that Stankyand, pre
sumably, everyone else did not
realize there was a new league
rule which permits the turning on
of lights to complete Sunday games
in all cities except Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. The only stipulation Is
that no Sunday game may be start
ed under lights in other words, no
scheduled night games on that day.
So, where does that leave us?
It leaves us facing the fact that
Stanky, not knowing of the rule
passed at the last league meet
ing, committed acts which cost him
a ball game that his club might
possibly have won in the regula
tion nine Innings under lights.
It also loaves us wondering why
the umpires, If they were aware
of the new rule, did not remind
Stunkv of it when he began stall
ing for time. Part of an umpire's
duties Is to head off trouble.
Driven by curiosity, we have
sought to read a copy of the new
regulation locally, but so far with
out success.
"I think we have a copy some
where," said one magnate. "Any
wav. there's no doubt that the rule
was passed, because 1 was mere.
He was told that, believe it or
not, there was nothing In the pre
vious year s regulations that said
one way or the other wnetner me
lights could be turned in St. Louis
on Sunday. It said games at Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh had to
stop at B:5B p.m., ana wai mere
could be no Sunday lights at Bos
ton, which still was in the league
when the copy was printed. But
nothing at all about the other
cities. .

Cocked Twice Licked Matthews
Yet Hurley Has Bids For More
NEW YOHK (NEA) When
Rockv Marclano whacked Harry
Kid Matthews on the chops In the
second round two years ago at Yniv
kee Stadium, Jack Hurley could
not have brought the Idaho-born
heavyweight back to New York In
a trunk.
But Hurley, the master man
ager, continued to get great gobs
of mileage out of his tiger.
As a final touch, Hurley beat
the International Boxing Club to
Dan Cockell and made Matthews
an international figure. Their first
match drew 96,000 at Seattle's
Sick Stadium, and the stocky Brit
isher put the home town gladiator
on the floor three times toward
the finish to win. That got Mat
thews and Hurley another payday
in London, wncre the Englishman
once more took a decision.
That was best two of three
without going into extra Innings,
but a little thing like that doesn't
stop Hurley. He's bringing Cock
ell back to Seattle again at in
creased prices in August and this
trip the estimate Is that they'll do
$129,000.
After using the old line of bally
hoo, Tub Thumper Hurley comes
up with a new pitch. What do you
suppose is one of the things that

Ring Menu
Set For
Next Friday
Next Friday night the Basin box
ing fans might be in for one of the
best ring programs that promoter
Mack LiJlard, has produced in the
Klamath Armory with Georgie
Price, the Merrill lad who is just
home from the service, taking his
first main event bow.
Price will meot one of the best
welters In British Columbia when
he tangles for the ten round bat
tle with Charlie Clem of Vancour
ver. According to reports received by
Llllard. Clem Is a boring-in type
of boxer who has been able to
punch and hit hard with either
hand.
The bout was originally set for
tonight, but to get Clem to fight
in the Armory main event, an ad
ditional week was needed by the
Canadian fighter to prepare for
the bout s hcadliner.
Lillard al.so is headed for a top-
notch supporting card with a coup
le of bonus already lined up and
a few others are In the making at
this time.
Darrell Harrington and Eddie
Brown have been rematched in a
bout that ring fans have been
waiting to. see since their last
knock down battle that was staged
in the Byrne-Mathis program.
Dale Mingo and Dunne McDanlel
are paired off for another four or
possible six rounder, while oppon
ents are also being sought for
Ralph Weiser the Beatty Bomber i
and Spraguc River's KO artist
Bobby Barney.
Another top bout Is In the pro i
cess also, that being between Bil-1
ly Sunday and Monte Montgomery, j
both top fighters. This Is a grudge i
match that has grown out of a 1
long dispute.
Tickets are on sale at Dick Reed-
ers Store for Men, Fifth and Main,
for the first ting program of the
summer season, according to Lil
lard.
held up the definite announce
ment of the third match? Well,
it seems that Cockell, "one of the
bravest men in the ring today,
has a horrible fear of the needle.
not Watson's, but the doc's. He
hesitates to get a necessary small
pox vaccination that would clear
him through Immigration. He was
pretty 111 after his last one."
Hurley goes about the business of
pairing MatUiews with his newest
meal ticket for the third time
like a guy peddling phony slock.
The Fargo Falcon simply makes it
known that he's doing the addicts
a tremendous favor by allowing
them to pay to see these ferocious
gentlemen battle again for money
and Hurley.
Hurley, in true confidence mam
fashion, tells Tex Salkeld, the Port-1
TIME OUT
land, Oregon, promoter, that his
city has no chance of landing the
extravaganza.
"There is just too much money
in Seattle for a big one like this."
he explains, without as much as
blinking an eye.
There are, of course, the cus
tomary hitches, cockell wants a
nationally-known referee and no
judges. Cockell doesn't particular
ly care about fighting Matthews
again. He would rather meet al
most any one else.
So Hurley will take the per
centage of both fighters, guaran
tee Cockell, and stay In business.
"Hurley is still dreaming of
another fight between Matthews
and Marclano," reports my Seat
tle operative.
You would be perfectly eafe in
wauering that Matthews isn't
dreaming about more trouble like
that, but mentioning tnem in me
same breath doesn't hurt the Pu
get sound gate.
Hurlev also professes to believe
that Morciano has softened up a
little, expeclally after the rugged
fight with Ezzard Charles.
This despite the fact that the
only thing tougher than Rocky-
Mariano Is getting no. 01 Marry
Kid Matthews and Jack Hurley.
"It's pretty dull having the same
crowd here every weekend, but
they're the only people Ed can
beat at tennis!"

Considers
White Sox
NEW YORK I Casey Stengel
sends his New York Yankees after
the American League lead tonight
in the first of three games with
Cleveland, but he's still convinced
it's a three-team race for the pen
nant. The Indians own a half game
edge over the Yankees and have
played the world champions on an
almost even basis so far this sea-,
son, winning 5 of the 11 games.
The Yanks never have been in the
lead.
The Yanks deflated the pennant
hopes of the Chicago White Sox
at least temporarily yesterday by
winning a doubleheader 4-3 in 10
innings and 11-1. This dumped the
third place Sox 6V2 games behind
Cleveland.
But in discussing the way the
Yanks and Indians have traded
decisions Stengel outlined the road
back for Chicago.
"If it keeps up like this," he
said, "those fellers can come back
by beating the other fellers (mean
ing the second division teams.)
The veteran Yankee manager
didn't have much to say about his
immediate problems with the In
dians except to pick Eddie Lopat
as his starter for tonight.
Big Chief Allie Reynolds will be
in the bull pen, just' as he was
yesterday. He wasn't needed
against Chicago and If he escapes
work again tonight he'll be the
starter tomorrow. If he works Sten
gel hopes it will be brief enough
to bring him back as a starter
Sunday. Whitey Ford will open
whichever game Reynolds doesn't.
Al Lopez, the Cleveland man
ager, told Boston writers "even
though we had to use (Bobby)
Feller and (Bob) Lemon I think
our pitching is set for the Yankee
series starting with Early Wynn."
He's picked rookie Don Mossl for
the second game.
Mike Garcia will get the call
Sunday.

There are times when San Di
ego seems to be down but It's
never out and because the Padres
keep trying they stay within strik
ing distance of the Hollywood
Stars, Pacific Coast League pace
setters. At one stage of their game in
Seattle Thursday night the Padres
were behind, 7-2, but they kept
pecking away, put on a six-run
fifth inning, and finally beat the
Ralniers in a real slugfest, 14-11.
The victory kept Lelty O'Doul's
club 5',i games behind Hollywood.
San Diego collected 17 hits off
five Seattle hurlers. In their big
fifth Inning, Al Federoff walked,
then came home on singles by
Buddy Peterson and Dick Sisler.
Earl Rapp's three-run homer
cleared the bases, and "V e r n
Kindsfather relieved Bob Hall on
the bound for Seattle.
After Harry Elliott singled and
Milt Smith doubled, Lonnie Myers
took over from Kindsfather. Myers
threw a wild pitch that let Elliott
come home. Smith scored on an in
field out.
Sacramento and Portland went
through 18 innings of baseball,
Sacramento winning the first
game, 6-3, and the nightcap 6-1.
The Sacs put on three-run out
bursts in the third and fifth in
nings of the opener. Red Adams,
who started for Portland, didn't
have his stuff and gave way to
Earl Scheib in the third.
In the second game pitcher
Charlie Schanz set down Portland
with only three hits. Sacramento
leads the series, two games to one.
The Solons cinched the second
encounter In the third Inning. Ron
King singled and Portland pitcher
Bill Boemler walked Schanz. King
came home on Hank Schenz' sin
gle. There were two more runs
when Nanny Fernandez singled
and leftfielder Fletcher Robbe let
the drive go through him for an
error.
The Hollywood Stars turned back
San Francisco, 9-3, lor their fourth
straight In the bay city.
