Loses in Olympics
HELSINKI, July 29 (P)— The
United States suffered its first *
loss of the Olympic boxing com-
petition today when Lazslo Papp,
the 1948 Olympic middleweight
champion from Hungary,
knocked out Ellsworth Webb of
Los Angeles in the second round
of a fiery battle.
Prior to Webb’s defeat eight
Americans had moved into the
second round, seven of them
during yesterday’s opening card.

Negro Signed by
Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 29 (P)
—The Oklahoma City Indians
signed the Texas league’s second
Negro ballplayer last night, a 26-
year-old righthanded pitcher.
William H. (Bill) Greason of
Atlanta, Ga., will probably make
his debut against Shreveport be-
fore the Indians take to the road
Saturday.
The first Texas league club to
sign a Negro was Bahas. Owner
Dick Burnett tried an infielder
and released him before signing
Dave Hoskins, one of the stand-
out pitchers this season.
Greason has had professoinal
experience five different seasons
in the Negro league, in Mexico
and Cuba.
Marciano, 27, put a spectacular
end to the fabulous Matthews
story. No question about that.

Associated Press Sports Writer
Managers Charlie Dressen of
the Brooklyn Dodgers and Casey
Stengel of the New York Yankees
were beseeching their bosses for
more pitching help today after
watching their once impregnable
leads shrink like a 10 dollar suit
in the rain.
Just six days ago, the Dodgers
and Yankees were looking back
at the other clubs and laughing
their way to pennants. Now
things have gone sour and wor-
ried frowns have replaced the
happy smiles. The road looks
longer as the leads grow smaller.
Yesterday’s 12-2 Yankee loss
to Detroit and the 3-2 Dodger
defeat by the St. Louis Cardinals
climaxed a sorry six days that
saw this happen:
1. The Yankees American
League lead of five games over
Boston and seven over Cleveland
dwindled to three over the now
second-place Indians and 31
over the Red Sox.
2. The Dodgers’ 7 %2 game
bulge over the New York Giants
dropped to only four. Even the
third-place Cardinals, who were
13 games back and apparently
out of the race, now trail by only
9 V2.
The Dodgers heard a sigh of
MW
relief as Eddie Stanky’s merciless
Redbirds headed for Boston, but
not before they had taken four
straight at Ebbetts field.
Gerry Staley applied the final
crusher to the Dodgers last night,
hurling a four-hitter and losing a
shutout in the ninth when two
St. Louis errors gave the Dodgers
a pair of unearned runs.
The Cards had built up a 3-0
lead against Ben Wade on run-
scoring singles by Staley and
Stan Musial in the fifth and Del
Rice’s home run in the sixth.
Staley, gunning for his 13th tri-
umph, his third over Brooklyn,
permitted only two runners to
reach second base until the
ninth.
There was little doubt about
the Yankee outcome after the
first inning when the Tigers
broke through rookie Harry
Schaeffer for three quick runs.
The Tigers continued to slug
away, accumulating 15 hits while
Hal Newhouser coasted to his
third victory with a neat seven-

trast to early estimates. Bis a
last minute gate sale saved it
from being a flop. A crowd of
31,188 paid’ $215,707 to see the
show that barely beat the rain.
In fact, the semi-final was cut
from six to five rounds and the
main event was shoved on with-
out lengthy introductions when
it started to sprinkle.
Matthews won round No. 1 on
the cards of Referee Ray Miller,
Judges Harold Barnes and Joe
Agnello and The A. P. but that
was all, brother. Two crunching
hooks to. the jaw, some 30 sec-
onds after a long looping right
started Matthews on his way,
brought victory to swarthy
Rocky, an 11 to 5 favorite. Mar-
ciano had an 8 12 pound advan-
tage at 18712 to Matthews’ 179.
When the 29-year-old Mat-
thews went down on his back,
clawed at the ropes in an at-
tempt to get up and then col-
lapsed over the bottom strand, he
lost his first fight since 1943. His
last loss also was a KO by Eddie
Booker in 1943. In his long 105-
bout career he has lost only four
and was unbeaten in his last 70
until Marciano came along.

Tide Reverses on
Shreveport Sports
By CHARLEY ESKEW
Associated Press Sports Writer
Now it appears that Shreve-
port, the bull that wrecked the
Texas league china shop from
the bottom to the top, turns up
with a glass paw.
The Sports last week climaxed
a climb from the cellar to the
lead on a streak of 26 wins in
33 games. Then Fort Worth kay-
oed them with a three of four’
punch, now Tulsa in a series
opener, 13-5.
In losing their fourth of five
games since leaving Dallas, the
Sports have given up 38 runs,
made only 14. Now the league
experts echo, “we told you so”
about their pitching. Shreveport
fell off the pace by two games,
almost as fast going down as
when the Sports sailed up.
The two front-runners, Fort
Worth in first and Dallas, ex-
tended their race last night with
triumphs. Fort Worth nudged
San Antonio 3-1 in a game pit-
ting two six-hit pitching perfor-
mances.
Dallas’ Jose Santiago hurled
no-hit ball through seven innings
in eventually stopping Houston
9-2 on four safeties.
In the other game Oklahoma
City slipped Beaumont further
back in seventh place with a 7-3
triumph.
• REGULAR $137.00 SETS,
Save $37.50! Set includes 35x48" plas-

strenth.
The end came suddenly. An
overhand r i g h t in mid-ring
seemed to buckle Matthews’
knees. As he retreated toward
his own corner, he tried to slip
away from a Marciano hook like
he did in the first round. He
didn’t slip far enough and took
it on the jaw. Another hook as
he started to go down drove him
to the canvas almost in the lap
of Hurley.
Although he made a fumbling
attempt to arise, it seemed to
most ringsiders he never would
make it. He didn’t.
For the night’s work, a few
seconds more than five minutes
in the 85-degree heat, each fight-
er gets about $49,181. By reject-
ing a $100,000 theatre-TV deal
they probably turned down an-
other $30,000 each.

guess, not counting television or

“I’m ready for Walcott,” said
-the unbeaten Brockton, Mass.,
slugger. “I can lick anybody I
step in the ring with. I don’t say
how I’ll come out with Joe. I
never make predictions. But I’m
ready for him.”
Walcott, who watched Mar-
ciano’s crunching left hooks to
the jaw sprawl Matthews on his
back in 2:04 of the second round,
said he was “looking forward to
meeting Marciano.”

separate tournaments running
simultaneously.
The total All-American prize
list is $30,000 with $3,420 ear-
marked for the top male pro and
$1,000 for the women’s winner if
she is a pro. The amateurs re-
ceive merchandise wards.
The All-American scramble,
however, merely serves as hors
d’oeuvres for the main course.
This would be promoter George
S. May’s “world” championships
over 72 holes starting on Aug.
7.
The “world” affair carries a
value of $90,000 for women and
men professionals. Included in
this lump is the grand men’s
award of $25,000 for the “world”
champion, an unprecedented
prize in the history of tourna-
ment golf. Second place is worth
$12,500 and even the third payoff
of $5,000 is much more than the
firs.t jackpot offered in most
meets.
The total “world” field will be
80, including the 22 low scorers
in the All-American, the 32 lead-
ing money winners of 1951, 10
pros handpicked by May himself
and 16 foreign stars headed by
Bobby Locke.
Today’s qualifying rounds for
entrance in the All-American
whirligig will be for 18 berths in
the women’s open field and 16
spots in the men’s amateur.
Men pros will shoot the works
tomorrow in a race for 24 places
in their 110-player field.
