(AP) Jesse Bowdry, on the road- to a unani mous decision, ended his sched uled 10-round light-heavyweight fight with Jerry Luedee last night with a technical knockout in the eighth round. Bowdry, a 19-year-old St. Louis product, had carded a perfect 35 points through the seventh from both judges and the-referee. Lue dee 's card showed 30-30-29. Being knocked out was a new experience for Luedee, 24, who now has a 23-8-1 record. Bowdry went after his 23rd vic tory with a head-and-body attack In the first round. After the open ing salvo, he settled into a body attack that showed marked effects after the sixth. Meanwhile, Luedee's punches took effect only in the second and third when he visibly hurt his op ponent. But he ran out of gas too soon. . It was Bowdry's 19th knockout during his career In which he has lost but two fights. Luedee, of New Haven, Conn., entered the ring at 168 pounds while his opponent weighed in at 174. .When we grow up . . . sizewise, and become an adult . according to law . . . why is it necessary that we lose our childhood philosophy and perspective . . . and start taking ourselves, those around us, and everyday hap penings so seriously. How come we just can't try to do our level best, in work ... or play . . . then forget it and go have an ice cream cone or something.

In the last 21 IX. seasons, 16 teams in first place on July 4 have gone on to win tne tiag. Hnwevpr. the Rovals were re- nnnihle for four of the five flnn in 1944. 1947. 1953 and htm) 1956. The 1955 Toronto Maple Leafs were the other fail- lirp. The Royals swept the last-place Buffalo Bisons, 8-7 and V-2, Fri day to open up a commanding lead, while the second place Rnrhntpr Red Wings were wash ed out of a holiday doubleheader with the visiting Maple Leafs. The Miami Marlins, fighting to get back into contention, defeated the Richmond Virginians twice, 8-2 and 9-4, while the Havana Sugar Kings and the Columbus Jets split, the Jets winning the opener, 2-1 and the Sugar Kings the niehtcan. 3-2. in 10 innings. The day's most notable perfor mance saw Satchel Paige gain bis third victory in the last four ifayi and his seventh of the sea ton.

WAYNE SCOTT talking about is displayed about three times a week (that I know of) on Klamath Union's Wright Field, when four teams of Little Leaguers take to the diamonds In pair of llfe-and-death struggles to see who can win a ballgame then, when the winners are determined . . . they, and the los ers, promptly put It out of their minds ... no post-mortems . . , and go en to something else. Sup per, a movie, watch TV, or may be even to bed for a good night's sleep so that they will be ready for whatever tomorrow might bring. ' Adults, or at least some of them can't quite figure It like this . . , and again I refer to Little League ballgames. No kid activity is com plete, (Isn't even possible, I guess) without grownups . . . coaches, umpires, spectators and the like , but sometimes you. won der. ... The other night 18 Little Lea guers played their hearts out In a real "crooshlal" on Wright Field It was a real Important game. In addition, two more youngsters not a great deal older than the play ers were pressed Into service as umpires. The young nmpires did their level best to call a good ball- game . . . and can be sure they weren't favoring either side . . , Sure, they made some mistakes: Remember an umpire Is always half wrong but all In all they did a good job. The two teams of players may have frowned at a couple of the closer eals ... bat that's all , . , the sound that resembled a wound ed bull came from adults, both en the bench and In the spectator area. The rumble continued after the game was ever ... not from the kids, they had forgotten a 1 1 about It . . . and not from all the adults either. . . . Like ! have said before, "The game Is lough, est on the adults . . the kids take It In stride." Granted, it Is the fans' preroga tive to growl at the umpires but It gets a little ridiculous at times and a coach wonder about the example he sets for his team. Seems that this "fan-umpire" sit uation isn't restricted to Klamath Falls. Portland reported a disgust ing affair a week or so ago. A hassle between a pair of umpires and an irate parent or two erupted on the field and then continued as the two officials concerned report edly followed the parents to their homes in search of satisfaction. Whether they gained "satisfac tion is a moot question . . . one got a black eye and some scratches. What strikes us as odd is the fact that the two. umps represent a total of 35 years of working everything from Little League games to "pro" contests. When one thinks of all the comments they must have listened to over this period of years they should have hecome a little "case-hardened," don't you think. ... So why in the world they would follow someone to his home to get even, heats me. The umpires were suspended and the Oregon umpire commissioner asked league officials to provide, in the future, safe conduct ot out- cials to their cars following these games. Fine thing. ... Remarks - heard by people who - wear whiskers department, Lady to smaU chUd: "No, dear, It Isn't necessary to shell the pea nuts, Just throw them to him."

Boss: "Perhaps if we cat eye holes In one of the wastebaskets and ..." Guy across the desk: "Shoosh what a grouch." Wife: . . No." P.8. If someone Is carinas as to why I wear whiskers ... I have a firm belief . . . adults notwith standing . . . that Klamath Fall will hare a regulation Littlr League baseball park la the very near future.
