PAGE FOUR TODAY'S SPORT PARADE BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer 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. American. "That Finn was simply scared to, death of the Russians and you can I Today's Sportrait By TIM CANTY | (United Press Sports Writer ) ] 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 He won the American Army Phillies Or Cardinals May Perform Miracle Wrecking Dodgers, Giants By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK —IU»— Maybe the Phillies or the Cardinals will per form the miracle in the National League this season, leaving both Automotive Shop And Machine Service.

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 points, worth slightly less than a Finnish mark, or 2, that the whole I business be run over. championship while in the service 1 playing w ith five dubs and a bor 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 birthday present, a 10 to 7 victoy over the Chicago White Sox with seven runs in the ninth inning.

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. The U. S. women's 400-meter re lay team of Evelyn Kawamoto of Hawaii, Jacqueline La vine of Chi cago Marilee Stephan of Chicago; and Joan Alderson of Chicago set i a new Olympic mark of four min- ! utes. 28.1 seconds in the trial heats j as it led the field into Friday's I final.

Well?” "I guess I made a mistake,” Matthews said. PONCA CITY, Okla., —(IP)— The Ponca City Dodgers want to set a new national attendance record for Class D baseball clubs and think they have the right formula. On Thursday night, fans attend ing the Dodgers’ game will get a pass for a future game, a key chain, a $25 furniture sale discount certificate, a $lO jewelry store certificate, a free quart of oil, discounts on ice cream, a bar of soap, a pack of cigarets, a minia ture loaf of bread, potato chips, comic books, toys and even bags of flour. Pass holders are out of luck. The management wants 7,000 paying customers. Fearless Fraley Gives Figures On Olympics HELSINKI HP) Fearless 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 get released today. 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. Chairman L. A. Tart Mid com missioners cannot appropriate money for this purpose unless the legislature changes the pre sent local law, governing the sheriffs department and enacts new legislation which will permit commissioners so make a special tax levy for this function.
