AP Tough Don Jordan of Los Angeles de fended his welterweight cham pionship convincingly Friday!an Kaslern promoter, but dis-i night. He now looks toward mid- dleweight Ray Robinson for his! next oout. Jordan, a punishing body punch er, rammed solid hooks into the ribs of 19-year-old Denny Moyer, and uppercuts to the face as he scored a unanimous 15-round de- cision over the young Portlander . ; .... ......... j k-... in. a nationally televised bout , There were no knockdowns. Several times Moyer appeared about to go down, but each time called on some hidden resources to stay upright. He still was dancing gamely about at the end, (licking left jabs at Jordan. The jab was his main weapon against the aggressive Jordan. It became apparent early that his right caused Jordan no fear. It was like a destroyer against a cruiser. Moyer was willing, but lacked the guns. For ' Jordan it was his 11th Straight victory, his third since winning the title. It makes his re cord now 46-11. Moyer, ' who had hoped to be come the youngest champion on record in the welterweight divi sion, suffered his first loss in 21 bouts.

Kansas City A's Get Russ Snyder PORTLAND AP) - Russ Sny der, ' Portland's best outfielder during the "first half of Ihe Pa cific Coast League season, left the team Friday to rejoin the Kansas City Athletics. The American League club re called him after he had batted .338 with 77 hits in 223 times at the plate and played sparkling de fensive ball in center field. Only Willie McCovey of Phoenix lopped him in the Coast League batting race. ' Bill Sayles, assistant Portland general manager, said he expects the Kansas City team to send another outfielder to replace Sny der, who had been sent to Port land on option early in the season.' Hunssker smashed a three-bagger and Paxton rapped a clean single. Merrill grabbed a three run bulge in the last of the fourth. East Side evened the count again in the top of the sixth, then Mer rill added one in the bottom of the frame for a narrow lead that peared might be enough.

I Richmond 15, Columbus 9 C I II W I W TT MM 1 1 Contest Slated LONDON (UPI) - One of the zaniest races ever conceived to determine the shortest distance between two points begins this month. Entries in the race between Lon don and Paris include military jet pilots, a 13-year-old bicyclist, a parachute brigade and 10 test pi lots using scooters. The rules require that the en tries leave from the Arch of Tri umph in Paris and end at Lon don's Marble Arch or vice versa. Both are centers of nightmar- isn traffic jams. The idea, thought un hv Ihe London Daily Mail, is to see if the distance can be covered any quicker than it was 50 years ago mis month when a Frenchman. Louis Bleroit. made the first cross-channel flight in 37 minutes. Bleroit didn't have to report at the Arch of Triumph or Marble Arch, hut he didn't have the ad vantage of modern-day speed, eiiner. The race will take place from July 13 to July 23. 50 YEARS OF PROGRESS Fifty years of progress have not lessened the time it takes to get from Paris lo London for the normal traveler who has lo leave from Ihe center of one of the big cities. Sponsors point out that even when traveling by air, the travel er has to get to and from the air ports which usually consumes sev eral hours. The main requirement of Ihe race is that the contestant fly over the channel, from then on he is on his own. A few of the entries plan to make the trip by conventional means, driving lo and from the cities to the airports. But some contestants are doing their best to cut down the time by using "short cuts." HELICOPTER AIRPORT A team of Royal Air Force men is using a concrete sewer plat form below the high-water mark on the Thames River embankment for a helicopter airport. Two Royal Navy jet pilols plan to get into central London by ap proaching the cily with speed boats. Then commercial firm lest pilols have lined up a relay of scooters to get their man to and from his landing points. A parachute brigade will bail out over a London suburb and en ter the city in a truck and a 13-year-old boy plans to gel out of Paris and into London on a bi cycle. His mother is the female bicycle racing champion of Brit ain. Title On Line; Says Ingemar STOCKHOLM iAP)-"Fll be a fighting champion," World Heavy weight Champion Ingemar Jo hansson said today. "Provided I'm still a champion after I've met Floyd Patterson again, I won't hesitate to meet any worthy contender," he added. Johansson won't let such things as heavy taxation stop him from fighting as much as he likes. He is determined to look upon his profession as a sport and fight his contenders as they come. But he is a businessman, too, and will not drop any good chance to earn money. Presently he is touring Sweden exposing his "mystery right" to his country men at a minimum price f 1,000.

More than 40,000 were at the airfield when the plane carrying Becerra arrived from Los Angeles where little Joe won the 116-pound title by knocking out Frenchman Alphonse Halimi Wednesday night. When Presidential Secretary Humberlo Romero and other gov ernment officials boarded the plane, photographers crashed a police cordon and attempted to scramble up the gangway. One unidentified cameraman and a po liceman exchanged blows, much to the amusement of the crowd. It was one of Ihe warmest and most hectic greetings ever given a Mexican sports hero. A 40-man military band struck up the Mexican national anthem when Becerra, his left eye still blackened from the fight, walked down the gangway. As the little slugger from Guad alajara fought his way - through the crowd, the band . and seven Mariachi orchestras played a bull fight Paso Doble while thousands of admirers roared "Olel Ole!" in time to the music. It required more than 20 min utes for Becerra to reach the gov ernor's limousine at the entrance to the airport. The crowd again cheered wildly as the limousine, escorted by motorcycle policemen, left the field. Here's the car that's DOLLARS AHEAD In Value . . Operation . .

St. Louis Cardinals put together an eight-run rally in the sixth in ning and barely choked off a ninth-inning splurge by the Phil lies to win 9-7. Giants 8, Reds 6 Mays' 15th home run of the sea son was the climactic blow of San Francisco's victory over Cincin nati, but it wasn't his most im portant contribution. Earlier in the game he had hit two singles and had stolen three bases. And the Giants already had scored the tie-breaking run in the Uth before Willie connected. ' In the 11th, Felipe Alou led with a double off Orlando Pena and a sacrifice by Jim Davenport and a sacrifice fly by Willie Kirk iand brought him home. Thai made Pcna (3-7) the loser and Sam Jones (11-91 the winning pitcher. Pirates 4, Cubs 3 Pittsburgh's 11 - inning game ended just about as sensationally. The Cubs had scored three runs in the first half of the inning to break a 3-3 deadlock. Then a fielder's choice and a walk put Roman Mejias and Bill Virdnn on base. Hank Foiles singled Mejias home, then Dick Stuart blasted one of Don Elston's pilches over the centerficld wall for three more runs to win the game. Cards 9, Phils 7 Back-to-back homers by Gene Oliver and Hal Smith highlighted the Cardinals' big inning against the Phillies. The Cards sent 13 batters to the pla'e against three pitchers in that inning and made nine hits. It cost Jim Owens (4-8) his fifth straight defeat. But Vine gar. Bend Mizell got into difficul ties in the ninth and the Phils got Ihree run before Lindy McDan- iel banned Harry Anderson and retired the side.

McLish. a veteran Oklahoman who broke into major league I baseball as a Dodger whiz kid SOme IS VMrs mm recorded his Uth victory of the season against three defeats Fridav night as the Indians turned back the second- place White Sox 8-4 in a rain de layed game and increased their lead to two games. Minoso was the leader in two rallies that ruined Early Wynn's hopes. The Washington Senators, held homerless and shut out twice by Baltimore on Thursday, unleashed their power again Friday night, hit four homers and downed the Orioles 7-6. The Boston Red Sox, with Bobby Avila and Ted Wil liams again leading the way, knocked off the Yankees a second lime 8-5. The Detroit Tigers, also double shutout victims on Thursday, end ed a six-game losing streak when Jim Bunning pitched them to a 5-2 decision over the Kansas City Athletics. Skins 8, ChiSox 4 Minoso, Tito Francona and Rocky Colavito were the Indian hitters who handed Early Wynn his sixth defeat against 12 vic tories. Minnie hit two singles and scored twice, Francona had four hits andv drove in three runs and Colavito knocked in three runs with three hits. Solons 7, Orioles 6 Washington blasted starter John Fisher early and hard, gaining a 7-2 lead on homers by Ken As- promente, Bob Allison, Harmqn Killchrew and Roy Sievers. But Ihe Orioles got to Camilo Pascual and Tex Clevenger for four runs in the eighth before Billy Consol snuffed out the rally with a leap ing one-hand catch of Albie Pear son's liner. . BoSox 8, Yanks 5 Yankee Manager Casey Stengel took a chance on starting Whitey Ford in Boston s Fenway Park, a trouble spot for southpaws. Ford found the trouble in the fourth in ning when Avila and Williams contributed singles and the Yanks contributed three errors to a five- n MYERS Whiz-Kid Winner run Boston outburst. The Yanki came back to make it 5-4, but th Sox got three more runs on Mar. . ty Keoghs pinch double, single by Avila and Jackie Jensen and double by Williams. Williams now has hit safely in 8 of his last 13 times tot bat. Tigers 5, Athletics 2 Bunning allowed the Athletics only seven hits, including Jerry Lumpe's two-run homer that tied the score at 2-2 in the fourth, but Ted Lepcio sewed up the victory with a two-run homer oft reliever ' Bob Grim in the sixth. Inter League Swaps OK'd CHICAGO (AP) - Inter-leagua trading, a measure which could ' find top stars being traded from . one major league to the other, was ' approved Friday by th -American and National leagues. The new rule allows clubs of one league to trade with clubs of -' another from Nov. 21 to Dec. IS without waivers. For example, the New York Yankees could trade Mickey Man tle to San Francisco for Willi . Mays without getting waivers on Mantle from the soven other clubs in the league. The rule first was passed last December but Commissioner Ford Frick asked the leagues to recon sider.
