HELSINKI, HP—The best fights
of the Olyympic games were not be
ing waged today in the “Messu
halli”, an oversized Quonset hut
where the boxing bouts are being
held.
As a matter of fact, the fisticuffs
on the whole were rather dull. The
best brawls were going on among
officials of this idyllic quadrennial
brawl.
Argentine mitt moguls were shak
ing a frenzied finger at a Finnish
referee, claiming the gent was of
pinkish tendencies. The Russians
screamed “foul” when Zoe Ann
Jensen of the U. S. was given two
extra dives because the spring
board went bad. and the Reds got
even in their own little way with a j
diving judge who ignored the cat- !
calls to subtract on Westerners and
add on Easterners.
Adding to the confusion, the Rus
sians were yelping that they had
been “robbed” of the light-heavy
weight weight-lifting title and
nerves were so tight even among
the simi-officials families that Hun
gary and Roumania were ordered to
replay their water polo game.
Pete Mello, the United States
boxing coach, wasn’t bashful about
getting into the fray, either. He
was one of the first to protest a j
boxing match in which a Finnish
referee halted a bout between an
Argentine and a Russian so the Red
could have his . even redded eye I
patched. When things looked real
tough for the Soviet slugger, the
referee disqualified the South.

CHICAGO HP Lean Lloyd
Mangrum, the. whippet thin Texan
with the beautiful golf game
figured today that he had justj
taken a $2,400 vacation. He hoped
the rest would pay him back at the j
rate of ten to one.
Mangrum passed up competition;
in the Sioux City Open to “lay up
awhile" in preparation for the
“All-American open” and the world
championship of golf beginning to- !
morrow and extending through |
Aug. 10th.
Mangrum, home “pro” at Tam
O’Shanter Country Club, said the
$25,000 first prize was “right close
to my chokin' price.”
“I didn’t like to miss the Sigux
City Meet but I've been playing
the circuit pretty steady and want
ed to rest for the big one,” he
said.
The former national open titlist
has been sleeping late, practicing
a lot and then sleeping some more
All to get ready for the big pay
off.
"Why man, that’s right around
S9O a shot and old Lloyd doesn't
want to be sleepy when they start
separating the men from the boys,
he said.
Mangrum learned to play golf in
Texas along with Ben Hogan, By- i
ron Nelson, and Jimmy Demaret \
He made the winter tour and the j
summer circuit before the war but j
never was a familiar figure in thej
pay line.
Mangrum entered the Army in
1942 and during four years of ac- 1
tion picked up three purple hearts

! a lucky thing we have good ath
letes or we’d never get anywhere.
I’ve just told my guys to go out
: and knock ’em stiff. That way there
can’t be too much argument, al
though even then you’re not sure
of winning.”
Argentine boxing coach Alfredo
Porzio was nearly in tears.
“Six men eliminated in the first
rotind-and only one lost, he
stormed. “My heavyweight was
crying before his match todav. he
, was so upset and demoralized.
Then he loses the first time in
his career. The morale of my fight
ers has been killed.”
There was a lot of salty water I
i under the nasal bridge, too. in the |
swimming department. The crowd
j concentrated on a lady judge
j named Bochina, who happens to be
i from somewhere East of Helsinki.
’ When American or a British dived.
I Madame Bochina held up the low
est point score among all the
judges. When a Russian dived, her
j card always showed the highest
1 total in sight.
Then Mrs. Jensen, wife of Jackie,
the Washington senator outfielder,
I contributed to the confusion when
she did a dive that was a real
floperoo. She landed in a position
generally associated with Moslem
prayer rugs. Little Zoe marched
j right up to the officials, told them
their springboard would not do to
; flip flap-jacks, and got them to
give her another chance,
i Late last night a number of gents
with red stars featured prominently
on their jackets were demanding
j that 1. she take her first dive

Finnish mark, or 2, that the whole

rowed pair of shoes.
“It was the darndest tournament I
I ever (flayed in,” he said. "I never
could get used to those sand greens
and those fairways, ho my.” j
Fresh from the Army, Lloyd en-;
tered the 1946 National open at
Cleveland. He wasn't given a sec
ond thought in the pre-meet figur- \
ing but astounded the experts by \
ending the tourney in a three way |
deadlock with Nelson and Vic j
Ghezzi.
In a drenching downpour, Man-ii
grum carded a 70 to edge Nelson j
b ya stroke and Ghezzi by 3 and
won the coveted open title in one)
of the most dramatic finishes in
golf history.
Since then. Mangrum hasn’t won
a big one with the exception of this
year's Western. He tied with Ben
Hogan and George Fazio for the!
1950 open but Hogan won in another
three man playoff.
Although he hasn't won the PGA
or the Masters, Mangrum has been [
at the top or near the top in the;
money-winning department. He led !
the parade last year and in 1949
and is in 3rd place for 1942 honors
Mangrum got in his final prac
tice round for the two tournaments
today and said his game is “pretty
fair.”
“I’m hitting the shots well and
if the putting will just hold up
maybe I can do some good,” he
said.
Asked what, he though would win
the “world” phase of the twin links
marathon, Mangrum said “just
give me four straight 69's and I
won't, even walk on the course.”
the Dodgers and Giants in a new
: wreckage heap of broken dreams.
The evidence was growing today
in their favor, and if they can con- j
tinue to close ground on the slump
ing leaders, they could either battle
i it out for the flag between them-;
; selves or turn the race into a four-,
| way free-for-all for the wildest
; finish yet.
While both Brooklyn and New
York kept floundering last night,
Philadelphia and St. Louis extend
! ed winning streaks with vital vic
i tories. The Phillies made Luke
Sewell’s last night as manager of
the Cincinnati Reds an unhappy
j one by scoring 6 to 1 and 4 to 3
■ victories, while the Cards went 13
i innings to score a 6 to 5 decision
at Boston.
Both teams now have won five
games in a row.
DODGERS FIVE LOSSES
j Pittsburgh, beaten 13 straight
; times by Brooklyn, finally rose in
belated fury and won, 7 to 1, to ex
j tend the Dodger panic streak to
; five losses. The Chicago Cubs top
' ped the Giants, 4 to 2, on the mar
gin of two-run homers by Tommy
Brown and Bill Serena.
In the American League, the
New York Yankees made Casey
Stengel wait until the last minute
before giving him a glorious 61st

over the Chicago White Sox with

REVERSES RULING
However. Mrs. Zoe Ann Jensen
of Oakland. Calif., virtually lost all
chance for the women’s spring
board diving championship when
judges reversed a ruling and de
cided she could receive only 3.20
points for one of yesterday's dives.

Farley's facts and figures:
Paavo Nurmi, the Flying Finn
of a quarter-century ago, isn’t as
fast as he was when he won five
Olympic medals, but he's doing
much better financially.
His haberdashery store is a
mecca for visiting Olympic athletes
who go there to see the great
track star and stay to buy expens
ive shirts and neckties .... But
Nurmi is a grumpy man who rarely
smiles, says but little and sends
the customers away feeling cheated
by their visit
South African athletes reveal that
their country has been bitten by
the basketball bug. In Durban, for
instance, the game was introduced
two years ago by a Mormom mis
sionary. They now have 19 teams
in two leagues which play in fire
houses, over garages, etc Dr.
, Forrest Phog Allen of Kansas, co
' coach of the U. S. Olympic team
points out that this parallels the
growth of the game in the United
States where it was invented ....
! The U. S. track and field squad
was completed with the arrival of
Fred Wilt and Horance Ashenfelter.
: They were delayed because of othi.
I boys running - both being FBI
agents who were detained because
j of work on several cases.
According to America’s three
! marathon hopefuls, the Olympic
I hill-and-dale course isn’t as tough
las that over which the Boston
marathon is run. The trio, Vic
Dyrgall of Fort Lee, N. J., Tom
Corbett of New York, explained ■
that the first seven miles is vir
tually level and the last part is
over only slightly rolling terrain
Which makes that 26 mile, 385
yard event a mere jaunt, huh?....
The Finns are friendly people I
but very few speak English and
further complicating matters for
! visitors is a bus strike which has
put Helsinki taxicabs at high pre
mium .... Prices on the whole are
not much lower than in the United
States ....
John Davis of Brooklyn, the
world champion weight lifter who
is favored to capture the Olympic
heavyweight title, may not be in
top strength. He has been suffering
from dysentery Experts contend
that at top strength he probably
could break the Olympic record
by more than 100 pounds in three
lifts if he had larger hands
Jim Funchs, the former Yale star
who holds the world’s shot putting
record, injured his right hand to
go with a taped ankle and a left
knee from which the cartilege has
been removed. But Coach Brutus
Hamilton isn’t worried, contending
! that “Funchs is better when he has
something wrong with him."
Sheriff Salmon
No Help Given
No provision is made for paid
deputies for the Sheriff’s de
partment in the new county bud

Since the law forbids use of
any funds for purposes other
than the exact purpose desig
nated in the budget, outlook for
paid deputies during the next
fiscal year appears dim.

missioners cannot appropriate
money for this purpose unless
the legislature changes the pre
sent local law, governing the
