Thursday, July 13, 1961 jgpwMMiiW i By »*<&*¥*" &W OWK* Arizona Welterweight Boxing Champion .• Hello sports fans. I see where the old Bambino, Babe Ruth is likely to have his record of 60 runs in one season beaten by a youngster named Roger Mat is. It was more than three decades ago (1927) when Ruth built the greatest baseball legend of them all. The record of 60 homers has been threatened but never beat en. As of last weekend, Maris was breathing down Ruth’s neck. As of Sunday he is run ning more than two weeks a head of Ruth’s record. Ruth _ didn’t get his 32nd home run until July 26. That day he hit two—his 32nd and 33rd. When the month of July closed Ruth had hit 34 home runs. H e added nine more in the month of August. The Bambino started the final month of the season with 43 home runs and he showed the prowess of a champion by hitting 17 in September to establish his still unbeatable record. Will the pressure get Maris down? I think it will. And I still think if the record is k going to be beaten, it will be by t NEW & USED Furniture Bargains L -U FURNITURE Hwy.

Russia track meet will be held in Mos cow’s huge Lenin Stadium this coming weekend. Although 9 top trackmen declined to make the trip, we think the US will top those Ruskies. Look for the U. S. to win 12 events. Charley Austin the top contend er for the Arizona Middleweight Championship, gets his first taste of big-time boxing July 20 when he fights Wayne Thornton of San Jose in the 10-round main event at Olympic Stadium. Charley is anxious for a good showing as the fight will be televised to L.A. fans. A win will mean top boxing for the Arizona KO artist. Charlie has stopped 6 opponents this year. Charley is anxious to face Tony Montano for the title. A win and they can’t move fast enough to get Leonard Cole man fit for a defense shot. As for the boxing mix-up now, the promoters, matchmakers and commissioners will hassle, while the poor boxer loses. Isn’t that the way it always is? They make sure a boxer is qua lified before he steps into the ring. It ought to work both ways. They ought to be sure the commissioners are qualified, before they are se lected for a job, which v otherwise is a “political punching bag.” See you next week. A compliment a day keeps the quarrel away. Amateur Bouts Set July 21 Local Golden Gloves boxers will swing into action July 21, at Madi son Square Garden. It will tune-up boxers for a pending State-wide AAU tournament sometime this summer, and the Golden Gloves Tourney six months from now. The Southside is likely to have three teams involved this year. The Russ Keeton team, winner of 6 Open division championships and 3 Novice division championships, and both Team Trophies, will have a strong team this year. Coach is A1 Fenn. The Sun Engineering team coach ed by Tax Takala, who made a good showing in the last tourna ment, is getting ready for action. The Sun team has produced such champions as Juan Perea ancf Mike Matousek. Members of the Sun Engineer ing team are invited to participate in the July 21 boxing, or in future bouts which will likely be held each two weeks. The third team is in the organi zational stage. It will be coached by Joe Armandarez and sponsored by John Redfield and radio station KIFN. Most of the boys will be trained at the Golden Gloves Gym at 1310 S. Central. Boys interested in learning to box, can see any of the above mentioned coaches, or report to the gym evenings at 5:30 p.m. Some of the Keeton boys who will be matched with Tucson are: Dave Manqueros, Bill Liffick, Butch Erler, Danny Reyes, Crosby Fullbright and Leo Latigue.

It will be Aug. 4-5-6 and possibly Aug. 7, at Phoenix College. Temporary thoughts about put ting the tournament in Municipal Stadium were abandoned because of the rental charge. No admis sion will be charged for tourna ment games, Brock said. An ad ditional 750 bleacher seats will be added to the Bruin capacity Brock said there is no concern about the S6OO bid and the $lO per team awarded to each of eight teams entered. However, he is concerned about costs of base balls, umpires, the bleachers, of ficial scoring to insure accuracy and similar costs. He will set such extra costs up in blocks of $l5O each and look for major con tributors. Donations will be welcomed from spectators at the games. Brock said "The merchants have BIG .TAX PAYMENT?
