WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST IS, IMS Clem Labine Hottest Relief Pitcher In Baseball L— i„l., ...j. ~rr':: '■, 1 .ftasL.rff,':.', v, 1 '■ Today's Sports Parade Oscar Fraley United Pros Sports Writer NEW YORK (W The fight mob still was unconvinced today that Rocky Marciano deserved ranking as the “new Dempsey” but the heavyweight champ can clinch such recognition by flattening Roland LaStraza in their Sept. 24 title fight. 39 KAYOES IN 44 Marciano’s chilling record of 39 koyoes in 44 bouts would steem to merit the heavyweight accolade without question. Yet there is a persistent insinuation that Rock I hasn’t beaten “anybody.” , One of the most outspoken concerning the shaky claim Marciano has to ring greatness is Dum Dan Morgan, the loquacious ancient who led Jack Britton to the welter weight crown. “He is,” snorts Morgan, “a pot hick hitter—a lucky puncher. I think that LaStarza will beat him ahd only if Marciano knocks him out will I admit that he has a right to be classified with the great heavyweights.” Dum Dan, so called in fight mob jargoh because of his marathon linquistic ability, has a surprising amount of support. And when you scan Marciano’s record, it is un derstandable.. The Rock’s victims since he has strolled up to the door way of greatness included a washed-up Joe Louis, an even more scrubbed Lee Savold, a chopping block named Gino Buonvino, unwilling Bemie Reynolds, an overstuffed light heavyweight named Harry Matthews, a lucky desperation one shot win over ancient Jersey Joe Walcott—and that return shot “victory” over Old Joe. That last one can be discounted; It will go into the books as a testimonial to the Rock’s punching progress but in side he must have been as Surprised as everyone else. lasTARzA has ftt&fEct You also can understand the respect for LaStarza, even f though his record is not one to startle John L; Siulivan. I For the fact remains that Marciano has hear ducking Rollicking Rollie ever since their split decision btoiit in March, 1950. It Was psintully Close and the hesitation to acclaini Marciano, in Morgan’S cake, Stems from the theory that Mkrciaho actually hasii’t become a better fighter since that time. Marciarid can’t improve,” Morgan insists. “Re is set in Where he just ccgncfyln ahd heeps punching. He Ml. Ml Mil WILBEBT LEE Ml ILL THE STIFF IT LEE MOTORS OF DUNN t| -And .

Labine has a simple formula.

It’s no wonder the best of them are coming to be made Up of old ball players.” Cobb, relaxed in an easy chair j :n his lodge on the Nevada shore of 6,200 feet high Lake Tahoe, said that when he himself broke Into baseball 99 per cent of the players in the big leagues had worked their . 1 way up through the minors. are carrying the hitters ’ Last night the Vols stretched ; their league lead to four games l over Atlanta by spllting a double- * i header wih B'rmingham.
