Thursday, August 23, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 for f I ~ f pMaxim Pounds Out Unanimous Decision Over "Sailor Bob’ New York, Aug. 23—(A*)—Lijrht heavyweight champion Joey Maxim proved he was far from washed up last night as he boxed Irish Bobby Murphy dizzy to retain his crown with a one sided 15-round decision victory over the San Di- Cincy Red Boss Candidate For Czar’s Position Wh; ' I ck 1* t New York, Aug. 23—(AP) —Warren Giles, president of the Cincinnati Reds, confirm- jpd Wednesday he is a candi- \date for the post of baseball Commissioner. Asked to comment on reports hat he had withdrawn his candi dacy in favor of Gov. Frank Laus- e of Ohio the Reds’ executive de clared : “There is nothing to it. I have withdrawn from the baseball missionership.”' This was the first word of con firmation from any of the five can didates reported still in the run ning for the $50,0()()-a-year job of running the multi-million-dollar baseball business. In unofficial reports, Giles had been bracketed with Lausche and Ford Frick, president of the Na tional League, as outstanding con tenders for the commissionership. Major League club owners will meet in a joint session Sept. 20 at Chicago to name a successor to A. B. (Happy) Chandler and all in dications are that the important position will go to a man with a baseball background. ft’s known that Giles, recognized J.s owning one of the most astute iaseball minds in the sport, ran ,lhe strongest race of all in the several test ballots taken at an all day screening session here Tues day. ego slugger in Madison Square Garden. Maxim weighed 173%, Murphy 174%. 12-5 Underdog A 12 to 5 underdog in his first defense of the crown he won from Freddie Mills 19 months ago, the Cleveland cutie was in trouble in only one round—the first—as he outgeneralled and outgunned the game, swashbuckling ex-sailor. Calm and cool all the way, the tall, swarthy champion survived his narrow escape in the first when he was slammed to the ropes by a smashing left hook, and then came back to hand the powerful, crude challenger a boxing lesson he never will forget. Irish Bobby’s right eye started to swell in the third round, was half closed by the fifth and was completely shut in the tenth. There was a grotesque grin on the red-haired challenger’s face as he absorbed a stream of care fully aimed shots from the slick champion. When the 15th was over there was no doubt as to what the de cision would be. The 9,525 fans paid $48,148 in admissions. Referee Ruby Goldstein scored it 10-3-2 and both judges had it 10-5. All for Maxim of course. The Associated Press had Maxim the winner, 11-4. Fred Nyc Receives AF Commission Fred F. Nyc, son of Mi*, and Mrs. Fred F.

Austin Little Leaguers Gain Semi-finals ’50Runner-up Given Lesson By ’37Champ St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 23—(TP)— The meet’s 1937 champion handed a golf lesson to the youthful 1950 runner-up in yesterday’s sizzling third round of the Fifty-first Na tional Women’s Amateur Tourney which propelled eight players in to today’s quarterfinals. Estelle Lawson Page of Greens boro, N. C., who won this, blue rib bon feminine show 14 years ago, supplied a convincing age-over- youth touch with a 5 and 4 triumph over Mae Murray, daughter of a Rutland, Vt., pro, last year’s final ist. Polly Riley Dropped Another standout lower bracket triumph was achieved as Mary Ann Downey, Baltimore, Md., pummeled favored Polly Riley, Fort Worth, Tex., veteran, 7 and 6, with a front nine 33 that was four under par at the St. Paul Town and Country Club course. The day’s gruelling double round grind, including second and third round play which involved 24 matches, saw both meet co-medal ists knocked out of contention. Carol Diringer, Tiffin, Ohio, who shared medal honors with 18-year- old Barbara Romack, Sacremento, Calif., Monday with a record- equalling 74, was a third-round vic tim of Grace De Moss, Corvallis, Ore., 1950 national semi-finalist, 2 and 1. Texan Wins 2nd Round Miss Romack was a 2 and 1 sec ond round victim of red-thatched Betty Dodd, San Antonio, Tex., who- in turn was belted out of the running in the third round by Claire Doran, school teacher from Rocky River, Ohio, 7 and 6. Miss Doran today opposes the 25-year- old Miss Downey, making her third national appearance. Advancing along with Miss De Moss into the upper bracket semi finals were Dot Kirby, Atlanta, Ga., who’ played her first national amateur in 1934 as a 14-year-old and still seeks her first title; Edean Anderson, 21-year-old star from Helena, Mont.; and lightly- reckoned Jane Nelson, Indianapolis, Ind. Miss Kirby, meet runner-up in 1939 and 1947, smothered Pat O’Sullivan, Orange, Conn., rated the East’s top contender, 5 aitd 4, with an opening nine medal of 34, three under par. Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 23—<TP) --•rNorth Austin, Tex., moved into the semi - finals of the Little League world series yesterday by eliminating Portland, Me., 3-1, be fore 4,300. With Les Kitchen and Greg Mar tin hurling* hitless ball until the final inning, North Austin sewed up the game in the third with a pair of unearned runs. The South eastern champions added another tally in the fourth on Kitchen’s two-out single. Both Texas hurlers had deadly control. Kitchen struck out 10 batters while Martin fanned seven in his turn. The championship game will be played Saturday- • afternoon and broadcast on a national network (NBC). Today’s losers will meet Friday in a consolation game for third place honors. The Sugar Bowl record for first downs in one game is 25 set in 1944 by Georgia Tech in a 20-18 victory over Tulsa. Anton Karl, former pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Braves, is now pitching for the New York Athletic Club team. UCLA Grid Story Says ‘Fairly Well Fixed’ At End (Note: This is the first of a series of six stories discussing 1951 UCLA football prospects, position-by-position. The end situation is evaluated here; tack les will be featured in next story.) Los Angeles—(Spl.)—UCLA lost heavily at end by graduation but the Bruins have a sufficient num ber of talented wingjnen on hand for 1951 to indicate Coach Red Sanders’ eleven is fairly well fixed at the flanks. Such seasoned ends as two-time All-Coast Bob Wilkinson, Bob Wat son, Don Cogswell and Darrell & ' 1 Longley Advances In Insurance Field 'ohn B.

TODAY thru SATURDAY FIRST RUN —FEATURES START— 1 ;40—3:46—5:52—7:58—10:04 yy ***** (M&m with BRIAN D0NIEVY FORREST TUCKER ELLA RAINES Riggs will be ■ Sorely missed. The only flankers returning with any real experience are Ernie Stock- ert, 204-pounder from South Gate, Calif., who starred on offense last year; and Cliff Livingston, 185, of Montebello, Calif., who was used sole on defense. Stockert Rated Tops At the close of 1950, Stockert i*ated as the best wingman on the team. Elongated Ernie, who towers 6 ft., 5 in. overshadowed even the great Wilkinson with his superla tive pass catching. He grabbed 20 passes for 236 yards and four TD’s last year. Bill Barnes, popular Bruin end coach, tabs Stockert to be one of the finest ends in collegiate ranks in 1951. He can be equally rugged on defense if need be. Livingston, a sterling defensive wingman, figures to see lots of action on offense this season. But the best bet perhaps to team up with Stockert when the Bruins have the ball is Herb Lane, 188, of San Francisco. The 6 ft., 3% in. Lane, who lettered last year with only 49 minutes of action, flashed exceptional promise in Spring drills. 3 Others Available In addition to Stockert, Living ston and Lane, three other mono gram winners will be on hand, in cluding Dean Kirby, 182, of Glen dale, Calif.; Ike Jones, 181, of Santa Monica, Calif.; and Werner Escher, 179, of San Gabriel, Calif. Kirby, who lettered in 1949 but was ineligible last year, is a fine defensive flanker. Jones, who spell ed Howie Hansen at wingback last season, has been returned to his old position where he won All- CIF honors at Santa Monica High. Escher lettered as a sophomore linebacker last year but figures to be a solid defensive wingman in ’51. Adding depth to the end set-up are two improving 1950 squadmen —former center Oran Breeland, 195, a Los Angelean and Dave Owen, 190, of Pasadena — and a potent junior college transfer — Pete O’Garo, 191, of Santa Bar bara. Pleasant Surprises Breeland and Owen were two pleasant surprises of Spring prac tice. Both looked aggressive and should see some action. O’Garro, who didn’t participate in Spring practice, has the size and speed to be a standout end. He starred at Riverside JC last year and was previously an All-CIF back at Santa Barbara Hi. Myron Berliner, 170, of Los An geles and Bob Heydenfeldt, 182, of Canoga Park, Calif., are two youthful candidates who appear to be a year away. Berliner was a frosh first stringer While Heyden- felt won All-City honors at end for Canoga Park High last year. The latter is a fine punting prospect. With added experience, the end situation stacks us as satisfactory out UCLA way. from SANDWICHES to ... . STEAKS FINE FOOD FIXED JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT 12th MAN INN Yanks, Tribe Square Off For Important Three Game Series By Associated Press Cleveland’s electrifying stretch drive for the American League pennant enters another critical stage today as the Indians clash head on with the runner-up New York Yankees. The Indians, out in front by two games, have three of their aces ready for the invading Yankees, who limped in from Detroit. Lemon, Wynn, Garcia Ready Manager A1 Lopez will shoot Bob Lemon (14-9) Early Wynn (14-11) and Mike Garcia (17-8) against the defending champions. Bob Feller (20-5), of course, is in re serve. The Yankee pitching plans are not as formidable. Yic Raschi (17- 7) will face Lemon today. Jack Kramer (1-3) is scheduled for Fri day night’s game and Ed Lopat (15-7) is slated to work in the series finale Saturday. Allie Reynolds (12-7) originally was scheduled to go Friday night, but the fast-balling righthander worked four innings yesterday as the Yanks dropped a 7-6 12-inning decision to the Tigers. Kramer started the game and lasted less than two innings. The Indians rested their big four yesterday and gambled with rookie Bob Chakales against Wash ington. Chakales didn’t last but the Indians pulled out a 6-5 14-in ning victory to increase their lead to two games. Series Rated Toss-Up New York enjoys a 11-6 edge over the Indians in the season’s series. However, the Yanks have wone only three out of eight in Cleveland. Bob Avila homered with two out in the fourteenth off Sandy Consuegra to give the Indians the edge over Washington. Dale Mitch ell sent the game into overtime for the Indians with a three-run homer in the eighth. The victory was the Indians’ 18th in their last 22 starts and their fifteenth straight at home. Steve Gromek pitched the last seven in nings and allowed only three hits to pick up his sixth triumph. Johnny Groth singled home George Kell from third with the Tigers’ winning run against the Yankees. The Yanks jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and led, 6-3 going into the eighth when Pat Mullin blasted a three- run homer to send the game into overtime. Virgil Trucks permitted only two hits and fanned five in the last four innings to gain cx’edit for the victory. In other American League games the Philadelphia Athletics swept a twi-night doubleheader from the Chicago White Sox, 5-2 and 8-1 and the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Browns, 3-1, in 13 in nings. Hooper Stops Chisox Bob Hooper stopped the White Sox on eight hits in the opener and Sam Zoldak limited Chicago to six hits in the second game. Gus Zernial homered in each game for the A’s to boost his output to 27, tops in the American League. The Red Sox won out in the thirteenth when Brownie Tommy Byrne granted a single and four walks. Byrne walked 16 during the game. Leo Kiely was the win ner. In the National League, the Brooklyn Dodgers captured a day- night doubleheader from the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3 and 8-7. The runnerup New York Giants ran their winning streak to 11 games by defeating the Cincinnati Reds, Rodeo Performers Never Moan; Nardiello Fixes ’em By WHITLEY MARTIN Associated Press Sports Staff New York, Aug. 23—(A 5 )—You never hear rodeo performers wail ing about never getting a break. They know that if they stick around long enough they’ll get one —an arm, or a leg, or a collarbone, or a neck. These refugees from a hospital ward are tough and such minor injuries as sprains and charley horses are trival. Dr. Vincent Nardiello, who since 1945 has been doctoring performers in the annual event at Madison Square Garden, knows just what to expect when this year’s program starts Sept. 26. In addition to treating about 25 pel-formers a day in the past six years, he has been called upon to repair such damages as: Fifteen brain concussions, 15 wrist or forearm fractures, 20 rib fractures, 8 leg fractures, 10 torn knee ligaments, six cases of water on the knee, two fractured skulls, 10 fractured collar bones, one spine injury, 15 fractured feet, 10 fractured hands, three fractured shoulders, two knee fractures and dislocations, one broken neck, 15 shoulder dislocations, two elbow dislocations, two fractured jaws and 12 broken, not just fractured, legs. “One night, in 1948,” the doc tor says, “three different cases of dislocated shoulders were treated. “I’ve been treating the Ranger hockey team for 17 sea sons and have had only three cases of dislocated shoulders.” Only two deaths have resulted from the Garden competition. In 1945 Homer Cook, a soldier per forming while on leave, died af ter being kicked over the heart in a wild horse race and in 1948 Art Smith was thrown in a bare- back bronc riding contest and fail ed to recover from a cerebral hem orrhage. tune in- BOGART 8AMH JT EVERY MONDAY KORA 8:00 P.M.
