HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 12. 1954 fi1(sre PAGE FOURTEEN MoMs W By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK UK A spectacular "called shot" technical knockout ever able Harold Johnson In the 14th round added luster to light heavyweight champion Archie Moore's great record today. Now the 3T i-year old ftstlc marvel will seek to Intten his bankroll with a Sept. 23 title light In Omaha against either Joey Maxim or Jimmy Blade. Maxim, beaten three out of three by the magnificent Moore, appears more likely to get the payday. His wily manager, Jack (Doc) Kcurns will meet sometime today with Charley Johnston, Moore's man- ier and members of the Omaha Centennial Committee to talk turkey. After stopping the fast-punching, solidly built Johnson in a dramatic come-from-behind fashion for his 19th straight victory. Moore said he'd like to fight either heavy weight champion Rocky Marciano or Don Cockell, the British heavy weight king. Mahjger Johnston, a realistic -Koul, said "Marciano has that Sept. IS title fight with Ezzaid Charles and I know Cockell doesn't want any part of Archie. We want the dough and they're offering Archie $100,000 to fight In Omaha. We're ready." ' Moore was ready,' too, when Johnston told him to go out and "get' Johnson In the 14th. ht'II Vnm-lr him out in this round." Johnston said Moore told him. He did in just oo kb. The crouching champion tore after his tiring rival, stagirofcd him with a right to the chin, and then rained blows on his sagging rival. Johnson fell on his back in his own corner. The Philadelphia Negro clam bered up at six but his logs were Tubbery. Referee Ruby Goldstein tenDed In and stopped the slRiiohtpr. Although Moore was trailing go ing Into the 14th, (two of tne tnree officials had him behind), the 176 pound ruler said he had no doubts about the outcome. "I knew I'd get him," said Archie. Johnson decked Moore In the 10th with a right behind the ear. It the tight had been a ten rounder Harold would have won. All three officials had him ahead then. Gold stein had It 5-3-2, Judge Bert Grant 5-4-1 and Judge Arthur Aldala, 7-3. "I made one mistake," said the crestfallen loser. "My corner told me not to back up straight but I did and he got me." Youth Given Chance In Tarn O'Shanter CHICAOO m For the first time In a dozen years, golf's younger set Is given a good chance to crash through the so-called old guard and cash In on the richest tournament in n 1 s i o r y me "world" championship opening to day at Tarn O'Shanter. Only the more hard-bitten pros have come through in the past, the youngest winner of any Tarn title being Byron Nelson who took the honors In the 1941 Inaugural at the age of 29. With $50,000 In cash and a $50,000 exhibition contrnct going to the winner, favoritism rests with such seasoned campaigners as Hum Snead, Cary Mlddlccoff, Lloyd Mangrum, jimmy Demarot, Peter Cooper and the recent all-american winner, Jerry Barber. All aro over 40 or pushing It. But there are at least three youngsters who are not too awed by the big prize as the 72-holc stampede starts today. They are British Open champion Peter Thomson of Melbourne and Gene Littler, each barely 24, and 27-year old Bob Toskl, now regis tering from Livingston, N.J. The broad shouldered Thomson Is one of the hottest tourney pros. He finished third In the All Ameri can phase of the Tarn camtvul that closed Sunday. Toskl, a little 127-pounrier, Is having his grenteat tournnment season, with a collection of $14,938 to be third In the olficial POA money-winning list. Littler, National Amateur cham pion last year, is a stoic tellow of Ben Hogan's old school who turned pro nenrly seven months ago and has been runner-up in the National Open, Kansas City Open and All-American. Each Is ready to take golf's big gest money plum. There will be a $5,000 winner's payoff In the women's pro division and merchandising prizes lor "world" champions of the men amateurs and women amateurs. Babe Zaharlas, Patty Berg, louise Suggs and other big name feminine stars win battle for shares of the $12,000 offered women proa. Prank Stranahan. Eddie Merrlns of Meridian, Miss., and Arnold Palmer of Cleveland top the men amateurs. r FOREST FIRES I DESTROY V0UR PICNIC GROUNDS! Klamath Lbr. & Box Co. Neslin Drops Hardtops Sam Neslin, who for the past three years has been track man ager at Gem Speedway, is resign ing his position to devote more time to his business and future business advancement, according to word received from him early this week. As of this time no successor has been named to Neslin's position, but a new track manager will probably be appointed in the very near future. Neslin has been in charqe of the local races since the debut of hardtop racing In Klamath Falls, nnd has built the track and num ber of entiles up In that time so that It is the largest In Southern Oregon and Northern uainoriiia, as far as the number of hardtops! tiiat are entered every racing night. rwsnite the vacanv left by Ncs- lln's move, there will be hardtop racing the same as has been in the past, with time trials starting at 6:30 and the first race getting underway at 7:30 every Sunday night. In last Sunday night's racing program. Jerry Johnson of Yreka, took home the main event honors with his M-14 hardtop, wnich hap pens to be the same car used by Russ Newell to cop an A-main early last month. Dale Hanklns returned to the winnlntr Dath last week with wins In the trophy dash and one of the four heat races, along with George Loatz who won the eve ning's final heat, classified by many as the programs classic race. Johnny Hitson remained In the number one spot as far as points are concerned after last week's race, while Bob Crawley Is still pushing the K-7 driver for the lead. Matt Christian has taken over the number three position by himself and Benny Morrison slipped from a third place tie with Christian into the fourth place In the point column. Four ten lap heat races, a four lap trophy dash, pitting the win ners of the four heat races, and the final heat consisting of cars that place one-two-three in the heat races will start the hardtop show, while the C-race, B-maln and A-ma!n will put the finishing touches on the evening program Hardton fans will be In for 8 treat this Saturday night also, as the racing picture swings Into full scale at the Medlord Speedway, with their large full quarter mile track Several local drivers will prob ably take their cars over the Grecnsprtngs to enter in the val ley hardtop program that Is held at the rodeo grounds on the west ern outskirts of Medford. Rule Change Might Hurt College Stars CHICAGO lift It's more than remotely possible that a rule cal culated to give the college All- Stars a better chauce of winning will backfire Into their undoing when they tangle wllh the Detroit Lions Friday night. The Lions, National Football League champions for two years running, have been openly defiant of the fact thnt the charity classic will be played under the limited substitution rule of college football. And thnt defiance might well be just what the pro kingpins need to gel lircd-up lor the contest. Lion Coach Buddy Parker Is peeved, not only because the rule will deprive him of using separate offensive and defensive platoons and full utilization of his many specialists, but also because it has required him to change his entire system. TOMORROW NIGHT 5:30 P.M. UndM Uii lihts of Soiann'fltW the ALL-STAR FOOTBALL GAMI troll Lions vs. Collsgs All-Stars 1 150 en your dial MUTUAl MOABCAITIN SYtTtM ran CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Hollywood's Lead Cut To 2'A Games By THE ASSOCIATED I'RESS The complexion of the Pacific Coast League race has changed raaicany in me last i nours. gan Diego Is only 2 games behind the puce setting Hollywood Stars Thursday by v 1 r t u e of Wednesday night's 9-4 victory, and Hollywood In all probability has lost the services of its leading batter and base stealer, Carlos Bernier. Bernier. Puerto Rican outfield er, was thumbed from the game for arguing a strike call by umpire Chris Valentl. He bumped Valenti as he continued the argument and then slapped him across the face. Baseball's law prohibits a player from placing, a hand on an um pire, and a slap In the face prob ably means tyiat the hot tempered Bernier is tnrougn lor the season. The decision is up to PCL Pres ident Clarence Rowland, and he was one of the 6,159 spectators. The loss of Bernier would put a erious crimp in Hollywood's bid for Its third consecutive PCL flag, for he has been a terror on the bases, hitting .310 and has been cutting off a lot of hits In the out field, and his speed Is one of the big reasons the Stars are In first place. San Diego really poured it on the Stars Wednesday night. Roger Bowman, who started on the mound for Hollywood, was nicked for seven runs In the first two in nings and Luke Easter belted a three-run homer in the second that cleared the 400-foot center field fence by 20 feet. It was only the fourth time a ball had been driven over the fence at that point. Sacramento whipped San Fran cisco, 6-4, in an 11 inning game. The Seals came from behind in tne ninth to lie the score and Tony Ponce took over the pitching in the loth, rhe Sacs outhlt San Francisco, 13-9, and the Seals com mitted lour errors. Johnny Pyecha, Los Angeles rookie, came through with anoth er well pitched game as the Angels uiuppi-u rumanu deeper into the cellar with a 10-4 win. The rejuv enated Angels slammed the ball to all corners, collecting 16 hits whilo ryecna was In command after the second inning, when the Ports got mice runs. Jim Marshall's 11th Innlnor trtnie knocked in two runs and gave Oak land a 9-8 vlCtorv over Renin. The Ralnlers who had battled from behind to tie the count at 7-7 In the eighth, tried a rally of uieir own in tne last half of the 11th but It fell short. Marshall's hit scored Ron Ran. ford and Russ Rose who were walked by Steve Nagy, the last I ft ft O MALONE, Oreg.: O TULELAKE, Calif.: O STRONGHOLD, Calif.: O WEST SIDE OMAIKI fiFFIPF TULELAKE, CALIF.: TOM CHATBURN rlAin Urntt: von Kandro 7-2711: Clark Feniler 2-2721 C.

TO RECEIVE YOUR MALTING BARLEY GRAINS SMALL SEEDS JACK FENSLER JIM NOONAN MILT HAUG BEN SCHULTZ 'Jacks To End Season This Sunday will close out the regular diamond season for the Eldorado Lumberjacks and the Oregon-California League, as the Klamath Falls entry travels to meet the league leading Bend Loggers. Bend has sewn-up the league championship, and a loss to the third place Eldorado club wouldn't hurt their standings except In the percentage department, while the Lumberjacks stand a chance of falling Into the league's cellar if they drop a game to Bend and Alturas dumps Lakeview in the other Sunday afternoon game. Bend has taken all three of the games that the two clubs have played, but' the Lumberjacks made the Loggers go until tne final one or two innings for their victories. Led by a fine pitching staff and a few Oregon State College dia mond stars, the Loggers have proven tough to all types of com petition so far this year. Their only loss of the season, Including non-league games, was at the hands of Alturas last week. Bend lost a ball game to Lake- view, but a Logger protest was upheld by the league president nnd the neutral managers of the league, and the game will have to be played over again from the ! ,njl.d mning. Paul Gehrman and Jim Duff aro the front line pitchers used by Bend throughout the season. Gehrman Is an ex-major league and Pacific Coast League pitching ace. Others who have given the El rinrarin club trouble in their past i meetings include the Jantze broth ers, uurt HI1U X-illi "U v....... bell, a little man with hitting power to spare. He collected three straight home runs off Lumber jack pitching In one of the earlier ball games this season. Last time these two clubs met, Chuck Chrls tianson paced the Loggers attack with four hits in six times at bat. Tommy Hunt. Morrle Rassmus sen and Lowell Pierce ex-high school diamond standouts also hold spots on the league leaders roster. Manager Hi Hatfield hasn't an nounced his starting lineup for this weekend's game, but it will probably be the same as last Sunday's. Pat Williams, Fran Miller or JoJo George will get the call for the mound duties, while Art West house will probably get the catch ing chores. The infield will be made up of Irv Whitt, Dick Lundsten, Ron Owlngs and Don Sunitsch from first to third around the inner de fense, while either Willie Dunster, Art Raymond, Hatfield or Johnny Niles will comprise the starting outfield.
