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.

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.

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.

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.

Bill's Place scored a 6-3 win
over the Suburban softballers last
night at Conger Field to win the

Ruff, while both teams were com
mitting one error apiece.
Suburban opened the scoring
