THUKSDAY MORNING, JULY 13. 19S4
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
Rocky Marciano holds a sixty-
pound sea bass he "kayoed" on
Capa Cod Bay. Rocky is vaca-
tioning here while awaiting plans
for his next title defense- which
may be soon. International Box-
ing Club promoter Jim Norris
said Wednesday that he'd like to
sign Marciano within the next
ten days for a return defense
against Ezzard Charles. Ar-
rangements for bout may hinge
on a physical exam Rocky is to
undergo for a brow cut received
in his June bout with Charles.
Relief Hurlers Show
Usefulness In Majors
41 The complete game has become
NEW YORK, July 14-UP Base-
ball has been in dire need of relief
this season and the pitchers from
the bullpen have been supplying it
as never before,
nple
the exception and not the rule. In
the National League in all games
played before the all-star break
there were only 199 complete per-
formances out of a possible 652.
That is less than one complete
game per-team in three —> ofie in
3.2 to be exacts
It.is only a little better in the
-American where there have been
246 complete performances out of
a possible 650 for a breakdown of
qftope in every 2.64 games.
Complete Job Uncommon
Manager Casey Stengel of the
Yankees, the champion manipula-
tor of them all, has his team roar-
ing toward the top in a nine-game
winning streak in which there was
only one complete pitching job — a
five hit 3-0 shutout by rookie Bob
Grim over Washington.
In 84 games this season, Yankee
pitchers have gone the route only
22 times for just a little better
^than one complete job in every
•four games. Only the Red Sox have
had fewer complete games — 20 out
of 79 — in the American League,
but Boudreau’s babies are a long
way from the Stengel strong men
in the standings.
The starting pitcher who goes all
the way is a real rarity in Cin-
cinnati, which has the lowest com-
plete game percentage in the ma-
jors—17 out of 83 or a little less
than one out of every five. The
Cubs have only 17 complete jobs
ftjout of 79. Eddie Stanky of the
Cardinals, whose bullpen goes into
action almost every time an op-
posing hitter gets ft long. foul, has
21 complete games out of 82 and
were it not for nine by Harvey
Haddix the club’s mark would be
the lowest. The last place Pirates
also have 21 complete games out of
82.
Phillies Go Rest
The Phils have the best com-
plete game record in the National
^League, 40 out of 77. Robin Roberts,
wtops for the majors, has 15 com-
plete games and Curt Simmons
12. Milwaukee is next in the N.L.
Manager Leo Durocher of the
fast-stepping Giants has done a
skillful maneuvering job with Marv
Grissom and Hoyt Wilhelm as re-
ievers and he shows only 26 com-
plete games in 84. Walt Alston in
Brooklyn has 22 route perform-
ances jn 83,
In the American, where A1 Lopez
-has the greatest pitching depth in
“the majors. Cleveland leads the
way with 43 complete games out
of 83 or better than half. The In-
dians and the Phillies are the only
major league teams which have
half of those they have played.
Trabert Enters
Net Quarterfinals
CHICAGO, July 14 ^-Top-seed-
bed Tony Trabert won two matches
today to enter the quarter-finals
of the National clay courts tennis
tournament.
The flashy Cincinnatian put in a
delayed appearance at the tour-
ney yesterday following a hurried
trip from Europe and had to play
two singles matches today.

Larsen of San Leandro. Calif., No.

gelo, Tex., No. 4, reached the
quarter-final round. Lower seed-
ed victors were Allen Morris of

Virgil Trucks.
Big League Clubs
Concerned About
Tribe's Chances
CLEVELAND, July 14 JP - Will
the feats of sore-fingered A1 Rosen,
Bobby Avila and Lary Doby in
the All-Star game inspire con-
fidence that will make the Cleve-
land Indians a big winner?
That was one of the questions
that arose today as the major
league baseball clubs prepared to
resume championship play after a
mid-season lull interrupted by a
rhubarb over re-scheduling a post-
poned game.
The Indians in recent years have
been tabbed as a club likely to fold
when the pennant pressure be-
comes heavy. And the loss of four
straight games last weekend to the
third-place White Sox looked sus-
piciously like the beginning of a
collapse.
But Cleveland's All-Star rep-
resentatives were anything but
lethargic athletes who looked ready
to give up. Rosen, who didn't want
to play because of a painfully in-
jured finger, got his dander up
when he fanned his first time at
bat and finished as the dominant
figure in the game. He accounted
for five runs, nearly half the Amer-
ican League total. Avila cracked
three hits and Doby opened the
winning rally V’ith a game-tying
pinch homer. I
The Indians Resume potion to-
morrow night agaui*r'TheVttering
Athletics in Philadelphia with only
a half-game margin over the five-
time champion Yankees.
The schedule rhubarb, which
could be serious If some of the
clubs or plftyers concerned choose
to follow it up, arose when the
Braves secured permission to
play off a postponed game against
Brooklyn at Milwaukee tonight.
Many of the players consider this
an Infringement on the pleasant
three-day interlude created by the
All-Star game and a possible prec-
edent for playing other games dur-
ing this customary rest period.
Jackson Told To
Stop Public Talk
NEW YORK, July 14 JP—Hurri-
cane Tommy Jackson's three man-
agers today were ordered to "get
together and stop public bicker-
ing’’ or the New York State Ath-
letic Commission would "get rtd of
all three."
Bob Christenberry, commission
chairman, told off the three war-
ring managers who had staged a
noisy squabble at the commission
offices last week.
"I want no more confusion about
this boy (Jackson*,’’ he said. "I
am not going to let this boy be de-
stroyed by your personal feuds.”
Before Christenberry spoke out,
the three manager had engaged
in a lively dispute in a regular
commission meeting. Although
Louis (Llppy) Breldbart is the
manager of record, has assigned
one -third of his cut to Frank Leo-
netti, a bus executive who discov-
ered the Hurricane, and one-third
to Sammy Golden, an (rid tlmq
fight manager. Each of the three
managers gets 11 Der cent of Jack-
son’s earnings.

Trio Paces
Publinx Golf
Competition
DALLAS, July 14 JP — The St.
Louis baker man, Joseph S. Ev-
ans; giant Navy Officer William
Scarbrough of Jacksonville. Fla.,
and tiny collegian Hal McCommas
of Dallas headed the sun-blistered
pack into the fifth round of the
National Public Links golf tourna-
ment today.
Evans was devastating as he
lashed Bob Ludlow of Indianapolis,
7 and 6, with a five-under-par, then
blasted Mike Andonian of Pontiac,
Mich., out, 5 and 4, with a one-
under-par performance.
But the most sensational round
of the hectic day during which the
field was cut to 16 players was
Scarbrough's 5 and 4 victory over
Milton Frank of St. Louis.
Scarbrough, the 235-pounder who
thrives on sunshine — of which
there has been plenty in this hot-
test of all tournaments — shot a
par-36 on the front nine to take
a 2-up lead. Then he really went to
town. He birdied the next two holes
and on the fourteenth, where
Frank had a birdie, the big man
from Florida used a 1-iron to pitch
within five feet of the hole and
sank it for an eagle to close out
the match.
Thug Scarbrough, who had taken
out Larry Holshouser of Charlotte,
N.C., 3 and 2 in the morning round,
wound up with two-under-par for
the two rounds—he was two over
in the morning, four under this
afternoon.
McCommas, who started as a fa-
vorite in this tournament, moved
along easily. He shot one-under-
par over the 6,296-yard par 36-35—
71 Cedar Crest course in taking
out Reese Berry of Indianapolis,
4 and 3. He had shattered Robert
R. Parry of Portland Ore., 4 and
2, in the third round.
Pioneers triumph
Over Abilene, 8-3
CLOVIS, July 14 JP—Hitting four
home runs in the first four inn-
ings, the league leading Clovis Pio-
neers coasted to an 8-3 decision
over Abilene tonight while veteran
Jack Venable tamed the Blue Sox
on seven hits.
Hank Paskiewicz, Clovis’ classy
hitting and fielding third baseman,
showed the way with two of the
homers and a single to drive in four
runs.
Pete Trabucco and Jim Fair-
child also hit four baggers for the
Pioneers in their 10-hit assault.
Andy Alonzo, Abilene’s 18-game
winner, was the victim of three
Clovis homers' before he was re-
lieved by Walter Novak in the third
inning.
Venalbe spaced four Abilene hits
one to an inning before he gave
up three more in the eighth frame
as the Blue Sox made their most
serious threat. One of two Clovis
double plays putout the fire with
only one run scoring.
Bob Pascal accounted for one of
the Abilene runs with a towering
home run over the left field fence,
the only extra base blow off Ven-
able.
Seven of Clovis' 10 hits were for
extra bases. Besides the homers,
Venable hit a run-scoring double,
and Don Ford and Virgil Richard-
son three-baggers.

AMARILLO, July 14 JP— Jonas
Gaines gave up 15 nits to the Am-
arillo Gold Sox while his mates col-
lected only 12, but the Pampa Oil-
ers bunched their bingles nicely to
score an easy 10-3 victory over the
Amarillo Gold Sox here tonight.
Gaines was hit hard by the Sox
all night. Amarillo batters drove
the ball straight into the waiting
hands of Oilers even when they
got a hit.
The Sox collected only one run
from their 15 hits until two were
out in the bottom of the ninth.
Gaines yielded a pinch-hit single to
Eddie Locke and a double to
Johnny Rucker to put runners on
second and third. Then the Oiler
hurler threw two oonseoutive
pitches on top of the grandstand
backstop to allow both runners to
stroll home.
Amarillos other tally came in
the second on a tremendous solo
blast over the left field fence by
Frosty Kennedy.
The Oilers went ahead in the sec-
ond with three runs on a pair of
hit, and three walks by Sox start-
er Taylor Smith. I. B. Palmer start-
ed it with a double. Successive
walks to Ben Felder and Doug
Lewis loaded the bases before Ed-
die Daniels lined a two-bagger off
of the left field barrier to clean the
bags.
Deck Woldt skied a high home
run blast over the left field wall
in the second for another Oiler tal-
ly and an error by Frosty Ken-
nedy paved the way for the fifth
Pampa run in thp fourth.
Pampa broke the game wide
open in the fifth with four runs and
could have made it worse but for
a fine relief job by Ed Mathes with
the bases loaded. Curtis Mardaway
led off with a single. Palmer
slammed his second double to score
Hardaway and then Lewis walked
and Daniels was hit by a pitched
ball. Gaines walloped a line drive
into center field to score Palmer
and Lewis. Daniels strolled home
on a balk by Smith.

FRANK REAGAN
Reagan Becomes
Villanova Coach
PHILADELPHIA, July 14 JP —
Villanova University, one of the na-
tion's top independent collegiate
football powers, today named Fran-
cis X. (Frank) Reagan as head
coach to succeed the resigned Art
Raimo.
Reagan, a native Philadelphian,
was a sensational halfback star for
the University of Pennsylvania,
and the New York Giants and Phil-
adelphia Eagles of the National
Football League. The past two sea-
sons he has served as backfield
coach for the pro Eagles.
Contract terms were not dis-
closed, but the Rev. Patrick Dun-
don. O.S.A., chairman of the uni-
versity’s athletic board, said Rea-
gan had signed a three-year pact.
Raimo, whose Wildcat teams the
past three seasons won 16, lost 10
and tied one, quit, suddenly last
month for "personal reasons" and
shortly afterward1 announced he
had accepted a job as assistant
football coach at Yale University.

FORT WORTH. July 14 —UP—
Karl Spooner, Forth Worth’s classy
southpaw and the Texas League's
strikeout leader, came within five
outs of pitching a no - hit game
Wednesday night, but Dick Kina-
man’s looping single in the eighth
spoiled the bid as the Cats blanked
ulsa 2 to 0.
Kinaman's hit was a Texas
Leaguer over shortstop with one
out.
Spooner, still limping from a
wrenched knee, came off the Fort
Worth disabled list two days ago.
He fanned eight to bring his ea-
son’s strikeout total to 157.
Both Fort Worth runs, in the fifth
and seventh innings, were driven
in by outfielder Calvin Felix on a
single and a double. His hits follow-
ed single by Hike Korcheck.

Gassers Defeated
By Hubbers, 10-7
BORGER, July 14 JP— Southpaw
Charles Simmons was tough in the
clutches here tonight as the Lub-
bock Hubbers hung a 10-7 beating
on the Borger Gassers in the open-
er of a two game series.
Simmons gave up base hits in
every inning as the Gassers hit
safely 13 times but left nine men
on the base paths. The Gassers
have now hit safely in the last 21
consecutive innings.
Every Hubber blasted at least
one hit as a total of 17 base blows
were struck by Lubbock batters
off two Gasser pitchers. Manager
Tommy Warren started for Borger
but gave way to A1 Belinsky in the
sixth inning when the Hubbers scor-
ed four times to ice the game.
Bobby Fernandez and E. C. Les-
lie shared hitting honors for the
shared hitting honors for the Hub-
bers. Fernandez collected two sin-
gles, a triple and a home run in
five trips to drive home half of
Lubbock’s runs. Leslie had two sin-
gles and a triple in four trips but
they came with nobody on base.
Gil Valentin collected 2 doubles
and a home run in five trips to
lead the Gasser attack.

MONTREAL, July 14-UP—John
Landy, the 22-year-old Australian
who holds the record for the fastest
mile run in history, said Wednes-
day his British Empire Games race
.in Vancouver against Britain’s
Roger Bannister Aug. 7 probably
would be his last big effort.
“I’m not prepared to go on in-
definitely chasing fast times,”
Landy told a news conference at
the Montreal airport. “Besides,
what could I prove by running a
few seconds faster when there are
numerous other miles today who
have much more basic speed than
I have?”
Landy arrived here from London
aboard a Trans-Canada Airlines
plane accompanied by four other
members of the Australian Empire
Games team. The five athletes
boarded another plane for the flight
to Vancouver following the news
conference.
Says Santee Best
The Melbourne agriculture stu-
dent who set the world record mile
of -3:58.0 at Turku. Finland, June
21, named West Santee of Kansas
as the miler with the greatest po-
tential today.
Landy said that Bannister, whose
Nino Valdes Ends
Jackson's Dream
NEW YORK July 14-UP-Big
Nino Valdes of Cuba blasted the
title dreams of young Tommy (Hur-
ricane) Jackson Wednesday night
by flooring the lanky New York
Negro heavyweight three times and
scdrtng a technical knockout ’a(
2:35 of the second round in Madi-
son Square Garden.
Referee A1 Berl regarded the
third trip to the canvas as an offi-
cial knockdown, although to the
crowd it seemed but a push, and he
stopped the bout because of the
New York rules that a fighter is
"out” if floored three times in one
round.
The crowd booed long and loudly
at the abbreviated ending of the
scheduled 10-round television fight.
Valdes weighed 204 pounds to
Jackson’s 190*4 as he tagged the
freakish young flailer with the first
knockout of his career and the
third defeat.
Hit by Barrage
Valdes, an 11-5 underdog, had
an advantage in the first round.
In the second, he knocked Tommy
half through the ring ropes early
in the session with a right to the
chin. It was not a knockdown. He
then barraged Tommy across the
ring and floored him with a right
to the jaw. Jackson jumped to his
feet at the count or "one” and took
the mandatory eight-count.
Big Nino, standing six feet, three
inches — a half-inch taller than
Tommy — pursued his opponent
into a corner and staggered him
with a left-right-left to the head
and then blasted him to the canvas
with a right to the head. Again
Jackson was up at “one" and took
eight.
Valdes kept pounding away at
him. Jackson tried to fight back.
Tommy was driven along the ropes,
and an overhanded right that
grazed his jaw and landed on the
side of his neck put him down for
the third time. It seemed a hall-
push. But it was ruled a knock-
down, . ..... ^
3:59.4 mark he bettered only 46
days after it was set, was "def-
initely capable of bettering his
time,” but he predicted a “disap-
pointing slow race” at Vancouver.
"People are expecting too
much.” he said. “In a race like
that one will be, both Bannister
and I will be watching each other
very closely and a third man will
probably come along and win it.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised it
Murray Halberg (of New Zealand)
beats us both. He’s capable of it.”
• Sees 8:55 Mile
Landy said he intended to return
to London after the games and had
no plans for appearances in tlty
United States or a race with San-
tee.
“I think it would be very unwisO
to attempt another big race so soon
after the one that’s coming up,'*
he said. "It might prove a big dis-
appointment to everyone. Besides,
I have just about reached my linftt
and it’s time to start thinking aboqt
other things.”
The 3:55 mile is within the capa-
bilities of several British runnerg,
he said, but Santee definitely has
the best potential.
"That doesn’t mean that Santtfe
necessarily will ever run it,
though," he added.
