Promoter Sam Becker, who put on the 15-round championship bout between the two fighters here Monday night said yesterday he already had signed Lesnevich for the re-match, to be staged at Cros-ley field, Sept. 22. Becker said Jack Kearns, Maxim's manager, would sign today, The Cincinnati promoter, who re portedly lost some S40.000 on Mon day night's scrap, made the an nouncement shortly after Joe Vella, Lesnevich's manager, had told newsmen the former world's light heavy champ was through fighting in the 175-pound classification be cause of the difficulty he en tered In making the weight Later, Vella said. still feel that Gus should campaign only as a heavyweight but I let him overrule me on this one."

May 25. UP) Six record are likely to tumble Sat urday, but all this and Fatten, too, probably won't bring out more "than 6000 people for the Pacific Coast conference track meet. Seattle sports tans, wno icnocK down the gates and doors to see a football, baseball or basketball same, who shoulder each other into Lake Washington to get a better look at a crew race, turn their backs on track in impres alve hordes. About 2000 yawned in the stands last week as Washington State college romped to the conference's northern division title. TELEPHONE PRINTER Possibly 35,000 people won't be there when Mel Patton of South ern California tries for world marks in the century and 220-yard dash.

The Trojan rocket can have the old PCC records erased just by telephoning the printer. One is 9.6 seconds and the 21. seconds flat Patton has gone an un official 9.1 in the 100 and an of ficial 20.2 In the 220. The latter is due for acceptance as a new world standard. A following wind robbed him of world recognition for his time tne shorter sprint.

Given a warm, dry day, UCLA's Crate Dixon should romp to two new records in.the hurdle events, with or without crowd. He holds the conference marks now at 14.1 seconds in the 120 highs and 23.2 for the 220-yard lows. He's bested vthe first by two-tenths of a second and the latter by seven-tenths this year. Gay Bryan, Stanford's man of many talents, could come up with a new longest-leap in the broad jump department. He has gone nearly five inches farther than the soaring effort of Jackie Robinson in 1940, measured at 25 feet SHOTFUT DUEL Otis Chandler and Lew Davis of Stanford both have lofted the iron ball from one to three feet farther than Bill Bayless tossed it in setting the shotput record of 53 feet 8 inches last year.

And Bay-less will be back to protect: his interests. Taylor Lewis of UCLA has been inches shy of the 170-foot-l-inch discus record, and Bud Held of Stanford has tossed the spear few inches farther than the Javelin record of 231 feet 1 Inch. On the basis of performances in meets this year, the California- state contingent should go home with most of the points. Southern California figures to win the meet trailed by Stanford, UCLA and California. Washington State, the north's champion, is expected to be fifth, followed by Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho and Oregon State.

The Trojans won last year, with UCLA in second place.
