Maxim's Manager
After Title Bout
By JACK HAND
(For Gayle Talbot)
NEW YORK I Doc Kearns
popped Into town with a new bank
roll, cutting a wide swath down
Broadway on the way to the tai
lor's shop. An hour later he re
turned to Jack Dempsey's to re
port he had bought four new out
fits. "Imagine the nerve of thai guy,
at his age, expecting to wear out
lour new outfits." said one of the
mob. He looks like he'll make it
too, dapper and spry as ever al
though he must be over 70. A year
or two back they carved away at
his spare frame in a Chicago hos
pital but he beat the rap.
The good doctor has maneuvered
himself into the camp of Rocky
Castellani, who Is managed by a
Cleveland contractor named Al
Naiman. They say Naiman owns
at least half of Lake Erie so he
was prevailed upon to guarantee
Bobo Olson $125,000 for a chance
at his middleweight title. Kearns
assisted in the arrangements and
then helped promote the San
Francisco show. He has done such
a good Job that they talk of a
sellout for next Friday's Cow Pal
ace bout and Naiman is a sure
thing to get off the hook.
In his spare moments, Kearns
Is making moves to get his Joey
Maxim a fourth bout with Archie
Moore for the light heavy title. In
gay moment, Doc once told
somebody Maxim punched harder
thai Jack Dempsey. Now, Pal
Joey can stick with the left, tie
you up in close and spin you
around but his punch Is a mild
caress.
Long ago Kearns patched up
his feud with Dempsey. The color
lul Manassa Mauler and the glib
doctor now are good friends. It
was In Dempsey's Broadway res
taurant the other night that Kearns
made one of his classic remarks.
He was talking about the chances
of a Maxim - Moore bout in
Omaha.
"Maxim always goes best west
of the Rockies," he said, quickly
shifting his eyes to see if the late
watch was up on its geography.
The next afternoon in Jim Norris'
office, they were talking business
on that Omaha venture. Somebody
suggested this probably would be
the first title fight ever held in
Omaha. "Who thought of Omaha?"
Norris was asked.
"Doa stopped in there, hitchhik
ing back from Las Vegas," said
Jim with a grin.
It was a good gag because
Kearns has a special soft spot in
his heart for Las Vegas, where the
wheels spin and the action Is live
ly. A couple of years back he was
talking of a "fight to the finish" in
Las Vegas between Pal Joey and
Archie the Gypsy. The last man
Maxim "finished" was Sugar Ray
Robinson in a heat wave but let's
not go into that.
The Doc almost met himself
working both sides of the street

when he suggested he was pre
pared to ofler a big guarantee for
Moore to defend his title against
Castellani if Rocky should upset
Olson. .v
"Are you by-passing Maxim?",
it fellow asked. Kearns explained
Uo dates would be different, noth
ing was definite and what was the
matter with trying to get in a plug
for the Castellani-Olson bout.
Sometime when they get asbes
tos curtains for television sets, they
ought to try the Doc Kearns story

you'd have to give the Doc a
piece of the show.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Batting averages were fattened
considerably in the Western Inter
national League Thursday night.
In four games played a total of
100 base hits went into the record
books.
Top output was at Kennewiok
where Vancouver and Tri-Clty
went on a 38 hit binge In a game
won by the Capilanos, 16-9. Van
couver batsmen had 24 of those
and Tri-Clty 14. -
Lewiston connected lor 13 sale-
ties and Wenatchee nine as the
league-leaders defeated the Chiefs
for the fifth straight time, 7-2, in
their game at Lewiston.
A total of 21 base hits was regis
tered at Salem where Yakima
thumped the Senators, 14-6. and
Edmonton defeated the league All
Stars, 11-3, in a game which pro
duced 10 safe blows at Edmonton.
The best pitching job was turned
in bv Edmonton's Ray McNulty,
who allowed seven scattered hits
in going the, route against the All-
Stars. '
The wins by Lewiston and Van
couver were the eighth straight
for each team and failed to change
the league-standings. The Broncs,
who are rolling along at a phe-
nomenal -.732 clip, still lead the
Cans bv 6V4 games.
A slim crowd 01 B34 turned out
to see the league-leaders paste
Wenatchee for the fifth straight
time. Lewlston scored four Tuns
in the first two innings and was
never headed, although Wenatchee
closed the gap at 4-2 in the sixth
when Larry Monroe was sale on a
fielder's choice and Tom Munoz
followed uo with a double and then
was, singled home. The Broncs
added single scores in tne sixtn
and eighth frames.

counted for the Caps clean sweep
of their series with Tri-Clty. The
Vancouver attack included two
home runs by Marv Williams, one
In the second ' with two on ana
another in the third with one on.
and a bases-empty homer by K
Chorlton in the fifth. Pitcher Bob
Roberts helped his own cause by
hitting 4-fpr-5, Including two dou
bles. Despite the barrage of hits.
Tri-City starter Herman Besse was
kept in the game Decause 01 a
pitcher shortage. Manager Edo
Vannla said most ot nia avauaoie
hurlers were recovering from flu.

of its series with Salem as the
Bears went on a 12 hit batting
spree. The winners got off to a
quick lead with six runs in the
opening Inning, added another in
the second, two In the sixth and
five In the seventh for their total.

Pennants
To Play
All-Stars
Softball fans of the Klamath Ba
sin will be treated to their second
look at big league women's soft-
ball next Thursday night. August
19, at Conger Field as the Port-
land Pennant Shop meets the
Klamath All-Stars.
The Pennants, managed by Dot
ty Moore, are comprised of many
ex-Erv Llnd Florists ball players,
hold wins over some of the teams
that have whipped the famed world
champion Florists, demonstrating
how powerful Portland s number
two girl's softball team can be.
So far this season tne team noma
a record of 12 wins and nine loses.
including wins over the Salt Lake
City girl's team, the Buena Park
entry In the Far West Women's
Soitball League, and the Canadian
champions, the Crawnhorst British
Columbia nine.
The Dotty Moore team includes
such standout stars as Dorrls Bar
rett ace pitcher, who played in pro
fessional as well as amateur soft-
ball leagues.
Another standout player for the
Pennants Is Pat Carson, who played
for the Chicago Queens, the same
club as Bullet Betty Evans Gray
son of the Florists, where she held
a life time major league batting
average of .333.
The local team will probably be
the same as Is entering the state
tournament at Portland this week
end, and coached by Bob Mathls.
Mickey Hayman, who did an out
standing Job against the Florists un
til she began to tire, will undoum
edly get the mound call for the
all-stars.
Buth Hagelsteln, Sherry Larson
and Teddy Walker are three others
who will probably make up the lo
cal team of girl's softball stars that
face the Pennants.

Klamath Falls hard top enthu
siasts today received an Invitation
from the Ashland Speedway to
enter cars any Saturday night.
Dick Scott of Klamath Falls,
who Is handling promotion for the
Ashland track during the sum
mer months, explained that Rogue
Valley hard topping Is now on a
"twin" -basis, with both Medford
and Ashland tracks offering hard
top programs on Saturday night.
He explained that both tracks
ofler top programs but that a dif
ference in rules separates one
from another. The Ashland track
sanctioned by the Ashland Stock
Car Association, has rules of
"straight stock" cars and allows
one driver to spin out another if
nncessary to gain an advantage
on a curve. The result has been
the moat, spectacular driving in
the history of the track. Both the
field of cars and the crowds have
grown every week since the new
deal went Into effect.
All cars are subject to a $201

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
They're feeling mighty low Fri
day in Hollywood.
Hopes for a third consecutive
Pacific Coast League pennant for
the Stars are fading and Frank
(Lefty) O'Doul's San Diego Padres
have moved to within 1 ',2 games
ot first place.
The Carlos Bernier Incident of
Wednesday night, when the speedy
Hollywood outfielder hit an um
pire and was banned for the rest
of the season, seemed to have up
set the confidence of the high rid
ing Stars. They blew up like bustl
ers in the 10th Inning against San
Diego Thursday night and a 2-2
ball game wound up In an 8-3
San Diego victory. It was the third
straight for the Padres, and the
fourth straight loss for Hollywood,
which has scored only seven runs
in the last 37 innings.
O'Doul has found a weak spot
in the defensive armor of left hand
pitcher Roger Bowman. In the 10th
inning Thursday night, with a man
on first and none down, two suc
cessive bunts produced two hits
and filled the bases, all because
Bowman, who is oil balance when
he completed his pitch, was late
getting the ball and late making
his throw.
Manager Bobby Bragan replaced
Bowman with Jim Walsh and later
had to replace Walsh with George
O'Donnell, but both looked alike to
the Padres, who had a big, six-run
Inning.
The game at Cilmore Field drew
11.275 .fans, the largest crowd of
the season there.
Bob Alexander of Portland
pitched a two-hitter as he blanked
I os Angeles In the first game of
a twin bill, 44. The Angels won a
homer-filled second game, 6-3.
Alexander's sensational per
formance snapped an .eight-game
losing streak for the Forts. He
fanned 11 batters Including eight
of the first nine to face him.
The Beavers opened the night
cap scoring on a solo lour bagger
by Eddie Basklnskl and another
with a mate aboard by Walt Jud
nich. In the second inning, Vince Ma
rasco of Los Angeles walked and
came in on Al Evans' home run.'
The Angels added two more in the
fourth, one on Fred Richards'
round tripped. The final tallies
came when Marasco hit for the
