Neither of these conclusions comes as surprise, the first having been demonstrated a numerous occasions, the latter only three months previously.

went about as expected except that Ezzard didn't come out swinging and strive to blast Rocky out of there, as he had promised. He fought a good, game fight, but a cagey fight, and when think it over you realize that you shouldn't have been taken in by that training-camp yarn that a boxer was going to come tearing out to meet a slugger head-on. It just wasn't in the cards and if Ezzard really had opened up he would have been rocked out of there sooner than he was. He fought the only kind of fight he could have fought and it wasn't enough, just as it wasn't enough in June. He wasn't as good in the rematch and didn't figure to be as good, because you don't come back after the kind of he caught that time.

He was slower and on the dull side and considerably more cautious. After the fight he told Russ Hodges he was hit going away, which figured, because he went away a lot. It was his only chance to stay in there and is no reflection on his courage, which was proved beyond question in their first meeting. Rocky fought as he always fights, plodding forward and throwing punches, and the more you see and hear of this Brockton guy the more you realize that he is about the mostest fighting man to come along since Jack Dempsey, another who seemed always to hear a bugle sounding the charge. When Hodges asked the Rock about future pians after it was over Marciano replied, "Al Weill does the talking about that, Russ.

I just do the fighting." And that's for sure! "HAVING WONDERFUL TIME, I was more than a little alarmed recently to learn that Cliff Class, one of this town's most earnest worm and minnow drowners, had departed for a place known as "Dr. Joe Kernel's Swamp Acres Resort." Also in the party are Mrs. Class and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Coats.

Slogan of Dr. Kernel's establishment, for instance, is as follows: "You'd really have to be nuts to come up here!"

It was fitting that the Indians, runnerup victims of New York for three straight seasons, were the team to dethrone the Yankees. This was not an easy triumph for Al Lopez' warriors. They had to climb over the .700 percentage mark to assure its third American League flag. The Indians won the 1920 and 1948 pennants. They have yet to lose a world series.

No Cleveland team ever won as many games as the 1954 club. In fact, only a handful of American League teams has won more. And with more than a week this season remaining, the Indians can better the league record of 110 victories established by the 1927 Yankees. How did the Indians achieve their great victory? Who was most responsible? Why did Manager Casey Stengel and his Yankees fail to make it six straight? The answers are not difficult to find. "I we won because of the improvement in two departments pitching and the bench," Lopez said.

"We have great in both. We've had a lot of important injuries, but they never kept us from winning because substitutes went in and played just as well. Credit To Three Hurlers must go to our three pitchers Bob Lemon, Early and great, Mike Garcia. But Great as they are, we couldn't have won without Bob 6 Feller, Hal Newhouser, Art Houtteman and youngsters like Don Mossi and Ray Narleski." One of the reasons for the Yankee failure was their lack of ing depth. Stengel summed it up in this manner: "My older fellows got too old and my younger fellows old enough." The Indians won their third pennant in 54 years and brought to a decisive end the five year rule of the New York Yankees.

The Yankees heard news of their dethronement while waiting to play a night game against the 1 Philadelphia Athletics. The Indians' climax victory No. 107 was reached in the seventh inning. With Steve Gromek, Tiger veteran righthander, nursing a 1-0 lead, the Indians let loose with sudden, explosive fury. After Dave Philley walked with one out, the 33-year-old Mitchell, a bench-rider all season, was in to hit for George Strickland.

The tempo of the rain increased in the darkened stadium but the umpires, after a hurried huddle decided to continue. Mitchell took one ball, then lashed the next one high into the upper right field deck and scored behind Philley. It was his first homer of the season. Hardly had the Cleveland bench quieted when Hegan, a strong figure in Cleveland's pennant surge, followed with a home run into the left field seats. The ball was barely fair as it sailed over the 340 foot "Of course, a great deal of credit marker.

"But it's even better when you do it after the Yankees have dominated baseball for SO long." Lopez had praise for the umpires who allowed the game with the Tigers to be completed after an eighth inning delay of 53 minutes. The Indians were nursing along a one run edge at the time. "The field was pretty bad," he said. "But the umpires let us finish and now nobody can say a we won on fluke. This is the wanted to win it, with a victory.

Not a loss by the Yankees." Lopez looked ahead to the world series with confidence. He said, "The National League race isn't over yet but we'll do pretty good against the champion over there. The same players that started against the Tigers will start the world series, except maybe for Early Wynn." Dale Mitchell and Jim Hegan, who delivered seventh inning home runs which enabled the Indians to overcome a 1 to 0 deficit, both said they connected off Steve Gromek's fast ball. "It was right down the groove," Mitchell grinned. "Felt pretty good, too.

You know it was my first home run this year. Always have liked to hit in this park." Mitchell delivered as a pinch-hitter with one mate aboard and Hegan rapped Gromek's next pitch into the left field stands to end Cleveland's scoring. "He threw me a fast ball, a little inside and up around the shoulders," Hegan said. "I just met the ball." Ray Narleski, the fire-balling reliefer who came in to retire Ray Boone for the third out after the Tigers had pushed across a run in the bottom of the seventh and had the bases loaded, said "I figured Boone would be going for the fence with the count 3 and 2 so I let up a little.

Scoring in each period, Ball State tore through Hanover for a 40-6 victory Saturday at Hanover. The game was the first for both schools. Harry Ganser and Dick Hunt scored two touchdowns each and Ernie Butler and Ned Schlosser one each as the Cardinals romped to an easy triumph over a team that had tied them 7-7 in 1952 and 13-13 a year ago. Substitute Freely Bigger in the line than the Panthers and considerably more powerful in the backfield, Coach George Serdula's redclads scored twice in the first period and never were in trouble. Serdula substituted freely.

A pass interception set the stage for Ball State's first marker, with Lennie Buczkowski spearing one of Bill Springer's throws on the Hanover 35 and racing to the 8. Two downs later the nimble Ganser bounced over. Sonny Grady kicked the extra point to make it 7-0. With 1:16 to play in the period Buczkowski slipped a pass to Butler, the left end, for another touchdown. The play covered 43 yards in all, with the Cardinal quarterback hitting Butler on the Panther 20.

Grady's placement made it 14-0 as the quarter ended. Hanover fumbled on the first play of the second and big Ralph Cook, Ball State tackle, pounced on the ball on the Cardinal 42. Ray Nix ran 24 yards to the Hanover 33, Wally Gartee got four, and Schlosser ran eight to the Panther 20.

I Hanover got its lone touchdown in the opening minutes of the third, with a 39-yard run by Gary Vandegrift to the Ball State 22 setting up the score. Don Kile and Dick Deardurff moved to the 12 and after Hanover benefitted by two successive offside penalties Bill Coldglazier powered over from the two. Dearduff's kick was low and the score was 20-6. In the same period Ball State drove to the Hanover 20, only to fumble. But Hanover fumbled also and Butler fell on promptly the ball on the Panthers' 16.

Grady picked up nine yards and John Avanetti three, with Ganser going four yards off tackle for the touchdown. Grady's kick was wide and the score was 26-6. Near the end of the third Hanover fumbled again and Ball State recovered on the Panther 24. On the first play of the final quarter Ray Nix ran nine yards then lateralled to Hunt and the Ball State quarterback ran 15 yards more for a touchdown. Schlosser tried the kick this time and hit it to make the score 33-6.

With five minutes to play, Ball State accepted a punt in midfield and drove to the goal line without losing possession. A 10-yard pass, Schlosser to Nix, took the ball to the 11-yard line and from that point Hunt ran over. Schlosser's kick made it 40-6.
