Game time is 1:00 CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Cotkell Flattens Matthews In 8th By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE IB Burly Don Cockell dreamed Saturday of an early whack at Rocky Marciano and the World's heavyweight title after his lethal fists -- with an assist irom a slipped sacroiliac-dlsposed of Harry "Kid" Matthews Friday night in the eighth stanza of a scheduled 10-round fight. Matthews, unable to stand erect because of his damaged back, could not come out for the eighth against the British Empire cham pion, who outweighed him 210 !ii pounds to lbo. Cockell had the edge all the way and the crowd of 10,478. which paid $91,000 to see the somewhat sour finish, though it was his head hunting attack which left Mat thews heloless. The 32 - year - old Seattle Kid was bleeding at mouth, nose and ear as he slumped to h-s stool at the end of the seventh. Actually, he said later, the dam age was done in the third round when he threw a right at Cockell, who was shrugging off everything the Kid could toss. . "It was a helpless feeling." he said. "I couldn't move fast and Eet out of tne way oi w ras j punches." The clouter from London, lor whom this was a third triumph over the same enemy, felt this was his best light of the three. But it was, he added, "a bit of bad luck" to have it end the way it did. "We were going, along nicely when it happened." He did take what he called "one solid blow" In the fourth round. The poke opened a cut over his left eye, but the damage was not serious. He took command from the start and Referee James J. Braddock, former heavyweight champion, called the first round a draw and gave all the rest to Cockell. The Associated Press card gave the third round to Matthews but went along with Braddock on the PHONE 8878 il IS Speedway Willie Dunster, left, and Art others. In, that heat the Seattle scrapper used a left jab to outbox the Britisher.. . Cockell all but. disregarded the boyd attack that won him two pre vious decisions over Matthews. He was gunning for the Jaw all the way, always moving in on the K"id and landing with bolh rights and lefts after tho third round. Matthews went down In the fifth, half slipping as he avoided a punch, and It was not considered a knockdown. There were no other trips to the canvas, although Cock ell staggered his lighter enemy several times and had him sag ging on the ropes in the late rounds, Cockcll's snariinir partner. Ron hlarman, 209, of Brighton,, Eng land, fought to a draw with Chuck Ross, 196, of Portland, Ore:, in a five-round preliminary. Ross was Matthews' sparmate during the training period. Jack Simpson, manager of the British champion, snld ho hoped to line up a world title bout for his man before he and Cocke!) return to England. Cockell now is ranked third among the heavies and Matthews held 'seventh spot when he went into last night's tus-; sic. Pat' McMurtry of Tacoma wast-1 ed no time In disposing of Jack ! Nelson of Salt Lake City. A left i hook ended the fight at 1:07 of the ; lirst round.

The Indians, ill fact, have lost half u game of the edge they held 30 days ago. The New York Yan kees, one of the four clubs which improved, replaced Chicago as Cleveland's closest pursuer and moved from four games behind to 2'j, pending today's action. The Giants sailed into July lead ing Brooklyn by three lengths. On the last day of the mouth they still are three in front of the Doc'.sers. The major change in the Nation al League standings involved third place. Philadelphia, third a month uro. won only 10 of 30 games and skidded all tile way to sixth. Mil waukee pulled up from fourth, 12 games back, to third, only nine games behind the Giants. The Brjives represent a threat of unknown proportions. They ran their current winning streak to eight last night with a solid 9-3 triumph over Brooklyn and have three more games with the Dodg ers and three with the Giants com ing up in the next 10 days. St. Louis moved from sixth to fourth but doesn't figure to go much higher. Boston pulled up from last to sixth in the American League with five games separating the Red 8ox from,flrst division. Padres Aim For Coast League Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hollywood and San Diego start i five-game "crooshul" series Sat urday afternoon in San Diego. First place in the Pacitlc Coast League standing is in the balance, and San Diego, being 2 ia games behind the Stars, will have to take four out of five to gain the lead. Right on the eve of tho series came the announcement that Pitts burgh has sent right-hand pitcher George O'Donnell to Hollywood on option. He arrives in San Diego Saturday and is to pitch one of Sunday's two games. O'Donnell was the rookie of 1953 1 1 the PCL. He won 20 and lost 12 for Hollywood last year. His record with Pittsburgh is 3-9. Bud Daley pitched Sacramento to a 5-3 decision over Oakland Fri day night and the Oaks dropped into third 'place behind San Fran cisco, which put on a late inning comeback to down Seattle, 5-4, in tho nightcap, after losing the op ener of a doubleheadcr, 6-1. Daley gave up eight his but; scattered them as he registered his seventh win against six de feats. The Sacs drove Oeorgc Bamberger from the mound In the third inning with a three-run rally. Carl Schcib, a pitcher, was the 1 big noise at Los Angeles' Wrlgley j Field as Portland whipped the Angels the rest of the way, and In the seventh he smacked a home run with two mates on base. This was tho big punch, for the Ports were trailing 4-2 at the time. HOTELS OSBURN HOLLAND EUGENE. ORE. ' MEDFORD Thoroughly Modem Mrs. J. E.
