, r'tobile racing tranedies this year
' were given a factors in ine at
cislon o( the American Automo
bile Assn. to withdraw its sanction

Indications came that the Na
tlonal Assn. of Stock Car Auto

one. of the tragedies mentioned in
the AAA decision yesterday. The
other was that at Lemana, France,

81 Injured In a racing accident
that spilled Into spectators.
The AAA has nothing against
automobile racing Itself, AAA pres
ident Andrew J. Sordonl, Wilaes
Barre, Pa., said In announcing the
decision.
He added that the AAA felt that
racing, with emphasis on speed,
contributed llttlo to one of he
main objectives of the AAA: pro
motion of street and highway

Site Archie's Dream
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Sport Writer
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (UP) Archie
Moore, the most Independent
heavyweight challenger since Oene
Tunney, heatedly denies reports
that he wilt shift from North Ad
ams, Mass., to another training
camp.
This is the camp I picked, and
here I will stay," the 38-year-old
noxer-punchor told a group of
New York sports writers who vis
ited him at North Adams Wednes
day while en route to Wednesday
night's Ezzard Charles - Hurrlcsne
Jackson fight here in Syracuse.
it's an open secret that officials
of the International Boxing Club
have been hoping Archie would
shift to a camp nearer to New
York City to sharpen for his 8ept.
20th title fight with Rocky Marcl-
ano at Yankee Stadium.
Promoter Jim N o r r 1 s wanted
him to train at Atlantic City, N.J.
Recent reports Indicated Moore
might cooporate with the IBC and
move away from the quarters he
established Monday at picturesque
Camp Kenwood on the Outskirts of
North Adams. But Archie blasted
those reports Wednesday.
PRESSURE
However, he denied that the
IBC had been putting any pressure

CLAYTON HANNON
SPORTS EDITOR
Iuii nun. nc biu, nuuuuy iruin
the IBC ever told me I had to
train any place. Of course I knew
they wanted some plane else. And
my manager, Charley Johnston,
asked me to make camp at Atlan
tic Cliy."
But Archie, a ring gypsy who
has fought la most major Ameri
can cities tv-i in South America
and in Australia, picked the "spot
I've been dreaming about ever
since I had a fight In North Ad
ams In 1949 with Escoe Green
wood." Of all the areas he ever visited,
North Adams in the Berkshire
Hills was the "perfect site" for
training, he explained. It's 1.300
foot altitude, Us steep slopes for
roadwork, and the tang of Dine
trees, birches, elms and maples
was Just right lor "building up
stamina."
The most surprised and delltht-
ed man in the United States on
July 19 was Charles Kramer, man
ager of the North Adams Cham
ber of Commerce, when Moore
telephoned from Detroit and asked
If North Adams could accommo
date him and his entourage while
training lor Marciano.
EXPENSES
"It came out of a clear skv."
Kramer said. "We never had a re
proached Moore. And we had no
idea he was even considering our
cily as a site for his camp. The
Chamber of Commerce and the
Berkshire Hills Conference imme
diately made arrangements to un
derwrite expenses lor the camp.
And Moore agreed that any prof
Its from his sparring sessions at
Glover's Arena would go to a fund
lor underprivileged children."
There's no luxury connected with
Moore's quarters. He lives in a
four room white frame cabin in
Camp Kenwood a children'a camp
on the shore of Windsor Lake. He
eats In the camp dining room,
Food Is prepared by Peter Trea
nor and his wife, Nellie. During
the college year they handle the
cnemng in a fraternity house at
nearby Williams College.
Moore's independence In select
ing his training spot is reminiscent
of Gene Tunney's choice of Specu
lator, N.Y., for his first fight with
Jack Dempsey In 1926. Moreover,
Moore's start this week as a stu
dent aviator and his decision to
lly to New York for the fight re
calls Tunney's surprise flight from
Speculator to Philadelphia tor the
Initial Dempsey brawl.

Shoemaker landed with another
tour bagger.
In the second game last night,
Hayman and Pat Barron hooked

Evening Show
Two changes face the Klamath
Falls hardtop racing picture today.
first of all the drivers return to
the motorized world after their
donkey baseball game with the
20-30 Club Wednesday night, and
secondly the weekly hardton nro-
gram switches to Friday night In-
stead or Sunday.
Last night at the Klamath Sneed.
way, the hardtoppers showed the
-'u-3u uiuo ooys now to play donkev
baseball, but not until they eked
out a 4-3 win over the local service
club. In the evening's special event,
Virgil Ratliff won the Jackass
Derby.
As the drivers settle back Into
the serious mood and return to
their battle for honors on the oval,
the time switch from Sunday to
Friday could mean a big improve
ment in the local racing picture.
The lighting system at the speed
way has been worked over the past
few weeks and according to club
president, Benny Morrison. Is In
good shape for tomorrow night's
races.
If the program increases at all
with excitement and "hotter"
races, then the Basin hardtop fans
should have some ot the best oval
rambllngs to be found. During the
past few weeks, the wei.-kly card
of auto racing has been on the
upsweep with outstanding driving
by many of the drivers and some
very hotly contested races.
A full program of races Is in
store for hardtop followers. The
two trophy dashes will open the
program with eight laps of action,
thn the three 10 lap heat races
will carry on their bid for the
program's best race entrv. The
final heat race of 10 laps and
the 15 lap B-maln will fill out
the middle section of Ihe program
and the A-main pi 25 laps will
found ,out the evening show. If
time prevails, a special event will
be held according to Morrison.
Time trials for the evening per
formance will start at 7 o'clock
and the first race will get under
way at 8 o'clock. Admission prices
are the same as belore. $1 .for
adults and- 50 cents for students.

Bombers of Winnipeg and the

a courtroom. Results of the battle

The litigation concerns the sta

wins the court contest for Free
man's services, the Browns. would
nave oeorge Ratterman as the
only quarterback on the roster,
For years, Ratterman has

Freeman signed to play with
Winnipeg of the Canadian League
this season. Later be switched al

Jack Locklear, another Auburnlte,
did the same thing. The draft sta
tus of boih men is Involved, with
Freeman and Locklear claiming
they can't leave the country,
Graham, who helped the Browns
to two world titles, retired with
the promise he would never see
thr. Browns without a quarterback.
A ruling in favor of Winnipeg
might prompt Coach Paul Brown to
send up a flare for Graham.
There's no other source for even
shallow, two-man depth at quar
terback. Other NFL-clubs would
be unlikely to sympathize with the
Browns, winners of five straight
division titles.
The Browns own former Ken
tucky All-American Babe Parilli.
But he's been in the Army 18
months, is now stationed in Eu
rope and isn't expected to be dis
charged before the end of the
year.
If Winnipeg loses the court tus
sle, the Browns appear set for
generalship. If Winnipeg wins, the
Browns are in trouble.

SEATTLE W A cross-town
battle was assured Thursday for
Sunday's Gold Cup hydroplane
racing classic.
Miss Thriftway: Seattle entry
sponsored by a Washington State
grocery chain, became the third
boat to qualify Wednesday after
Stan Sayres' Slo-Mo-Shun IV, Se
attle's three-time winner of the
classic, had set a new qualifying
speed mark.
Slo-Mo's sister, boat, the V, and
at least four others were also
scheduled to try to qualify Thurs
day, under requirements that thej
travel the 3ai mile course three
times at better than 85 miles an
hour. Twelve boats can qualify for
the race, .
Slo-Mo IV, with Joe Taggert
driving, flirted with the two-mile-a-mlnute
mark Wednesday but fi
nally settled for a qualifying time
of 117.391 miles. That was a short
time after orchestra leader Guy
Lombardo's Tempo VII, of New
York, with Danny Foster at the
controls, had qualified at 116.7. The
previous qualifying record of
111.6.12 miles was set by Slo-Mo
V last year.
Miss Thriftway made Its runs
late In the day after the lake
roughened. Driver Bill Muncey,
Detroit, held It down to an aver
age 103.846 miles.
A mishap which left Such Crust
ni. Detroit, owned by Jack
Schafer, sinking was expected to be
repaired in quick time. A propel

The 34-foot .twin engine boat,
largest on the lake, was picked
up by s Coast Guard patrol boat
and beached In the nick of time.

been slow in advancement, but this
year seems to be a "pay day"
for the Oregon program. Several
of the teams entered in this year's
tourney are all capable of breez

a defeat, which means one of the
finest state tournaments to be held
for the women diamond dusters.
In the past Just a few teams have
had all the power and playing abil
ity, but the competition has grown
to be quite a bit better In all
parts of the state. The 11 teams
that will be seen In action here in
Klamath Falls will be the cream
of the crop of Oregon's amateur
Softball teams.
Those entered In the double elim
ination tournament are Forest
Grove, Lake Oswego, Roseburg,
Merrill, Eugene, Oakridge-Westfir,
Salem, Rogue River, Orenco Val

ond behind the Klamath Falls en
try last year. Then Friday, which
