Lead Daily Call, Deadwood Pioneer-Times, Wednesday, July 28, 1978 3 A gathering of ex-champions Joe's 17-year-old son, jumped I--, Vx I in "aging challenger." They've been waiting 30 years for him to write a novel to top hit "The Naked and The Dead." He is S3. When he noticed Joe Louis, Mailer recalled the de facto end of Louis's career. "I was there the night Rocky Mar-ciano knocked Joe out," said Mailer. "Joe looked dead on his feet for the whole fight. It was strange because he had looked his best in training camp." Elizabeth Taylor was at ringside.

She had held the title of Beauty Champeen of the World and some may still lay claim to it but not in very many states anymore. She has had for years a problem with making the weight. There is a roundness to her face, a frazzled look to ber hair and a figure that could stand some roadwork. She might be vulnerable to any number of shapely challengers, in the way that Joe Frazier, 10 pounds heavier than when he last fought Foreman three years ago, was vulnerable to Foreman's younger powers. Joe is 33, Foreman 27, Taylor 44.

All saw the cool right punch by George Foreman in the fifth round that arrived like a baseball bat into Joe Frazier's chops. It had a double result. Upon impact, Frazier began spitting out teeth at if they were popcorn. Next, referee Harold Varlan, scrutinizing Joe's glassy eyes and bloodied face, said, "Joe you've had enough. You were a great champion." Marvis Frazier, BATTLE OF THE EX-TITANS sends former heavyweight champion George Foreman clucking in a shower of sweaty droplets as a toally shorn Joe Frazler, also a former owner of the heavyweight crown, executes a wild swing.

U.S. drubs Yugoslavia By Ira Berkow George Foreman, like tome in the crowd at his last fight, is a former champion still hanging in there. While ex-champ Joe Frazier, like others in that same crowd, had decided to hang 'em up after much encouragement by Foreman in their recent bout. It was a spectacular night for champs, for even ei-champions are always called "champ." Just as ex-emperors are always known as "emp," or ought to be. It is more than a courtesy, it is deserved homage to a past, but nonetheless ultimate achievement.

Jersey Joe Walcott and Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey were there, all former heavyweight title-holders, all called "champ." Rocky Graziano. was there, the former middleweight king. He held the title only for a few months in 1947, between losses to Tony Zale. When Graziano entered the ring before the fight, he dazzled the joint with a sports jacket that could have been made from all 31 Baskin-Robbins flavors. "Wow, Rock," fans exclaimed.

"Loo-kin' good, Champ!" Toots Sbor and Jack Dempsey came to the fight together. Each is in his 80s and rather saggy around the gills. Each must use a cane. Toots like Dempsey was a champ champion nightclub owner. Norman Mailer was there, too.

If it had been a fight, they'd have stopped it. Perhaps the most eagerly-awaited sports event in the past four years was a rout, a onesided run-away, an anti-climax. In fact, the United States' emotional, basketball victory over Yugoslavia for the Olympic gold medal was assured so quickly, so easily, the television cameras beaming coverage to the United States cut away on a more or less regular basis to focus on men's platform diving and boxing quarter-finals. But it was the big one, the event the United States wanted to win in these XXI Olympic Games. The youngest team the United States has ever fielded wiped out the memory of Munich and the only Olympic game it had ever lost.

It was an inspired performance that restored the team to amateur supremacy in the game the Americans invented. Adrian Dantley of Notre for Jenkins into the ring, a too 01 anguisn on his face. Foreman walked over to comfort him, as if to say, "Your daddy is a courageous man, you should be proud." In the crush outside Frazier's dressing room afterward, his slim 13-year-oid daughter Weatta slipped through the crowd to the closed door. She was crying. She was about to enter past the guard when a friend said, "Wipe your tears, honey, your daddy don't want to see you sad." She came back out shortly, her eyes dry.

A reporter asked what her father had said. "He told me to go to the party, to boogie on down." Frazier planned, as most in the crowd had gathered, that if he lost it would be his last fight. One of his trainers outside the door now said, "We want Joe to go out with all his marbles, and that's what he still got." Besides his marbles, he's got estimated assets of S2.5 million. Old Style also had no balls-two strike counts on seven of the first eight" hitters she faced.

The see-saw battle of two very much improved ball teams, Chris's take a quick 5-0 lead in the first on RBI singles by Chryd Lane and Deede Texaco got out of the inning on a 'tailor-made' double play and then came back to tie the score 5- 5 in their half of the first. Chris's added five more runs in the second to lead 10-5, again Chr ys Lane and Wellman getting kev hits. Consecutive singles by Pam Varland, Dottie Grove, Anita Weiers and Joyce White scored two runs, then a double by Roberta Varns and a two-run' double by Tracy Varland moved Texaco in front 13-11. A RBI double off the bat of Sandy Roselles, Kay Carr's third straight hit and a run-scoring single by Cindy Pinske pulled Chris's ahead 16-13. Texaco then tied the game on Barb Nelson's two-run triple in the fourth and won the extra-inning contest in the fifth.

It was the only gold medal the Americans have acquired in the past two days. With the United States picking up only eight medals in the last two days, they now are far behind Russia. The Russians have a 29-29-22 count in gold, silver and bronze, 80 over-all.

East Germany is 28-18-16, for 62 total. The United States is 22-25-18, 65 total. Some gains were made, however. Four American boxers advanced to the semifinals, where they're assured of at least a bronze. Four other fighters are in action tonight and all have a good chance of reaching the semis.

The United States won only two boxing medals in 1972. Light welterweight Sugar Ray Leonard, Palmer Park, Md. lightweight Howard Davis, Glen N.Y.; bantamweight Charlesf Mooney," an Ar my ser ge'aht 'stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., and flyweight Leo Randolph, Tacoma, all advanced to the semifinals. Fighting in the quarter-finals tonight are Clint Jackson, Nashville, at 147 pounds; Mike Spinks, St. Louis, at 165; his brother Leon Spinks, a ma-Tine stationed at Camp Le-juene, N.C., at 178, and heavyweight John Tate of Knoxville, Tenn.

World champion Darrell Pace, a 19-year-old Air Force technician from Cincinnati, had a solid, 16-point lead after the first day of archery competition. The United States also can expect a silver or bronze yachting medal from Hawaiians David McFaull and Michael Roth-well in today's final race of the Tornado Class. They were in second place after the first six races but had no chance at the gold, already clinched by Great Britain. Two of the four American medals picked up Tuesday came in yachting, a bronze to Dennis Conner, San Diego, and Conn Findlay, Belmont, in the Tempest Class, which was won by Sweden. Greg Louganis, a 16-year-old from El Cajon, won the silver in men's platform diving, and with the cameras switching away from the basketball rout got a lot of tele-1 vision time in doing it.

Dame scored eight of his game-high 30 points in the first six minutes.

The United States built a lead in that time and from then on it was not a matter of "who" but "by how much." Some of the edge may have been taken off the triumph because it came against Yugoslavia, not Russia, the' team that scored that controversial decision over the United States four years ago. The Russians didn't make it to the final Instead, they had to settle for a 100-72 victory over Canada last night and the bronze. "I guess a lot of people are disappointed we didn't play the Russians," said guard Quinn Buckner of Indiana. "I didn't care who we had to beat. I just wanted that big piece of gold." "I was so happy at the presentation ceremony, there were tears in my eyes," said Smith.

"I thought we deserved that ovation we received," said Scott May, Indiana's All American. National Bob Watson showed that he could take it as well as dish it out. The Houston slugger was hit in the face by a pitch and then battered in the back with a throw. But while the San Diego Padres were hurting Watson a little with the ball, he was hurting them a lot with his bat driving in four runs to pace a 4-1 Houston victory. "The ball hit the rim of my glasses," said Watson of the pitch from Rich Folkers that drove his glasses into his nose.

"I sort of expected to get hit by the pitch." The brush-back pitch occurred in the seventh, after Watson had done all his damage in the first five 'innings. Then, moments later, Watson was hit by the ball again this time while trying to break up a potential double play. Pirates 3, Cardinals 1 Frank Taveras scored the winning run on Willie Stargell's sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, leading Pittsburgh over St. Taveras' run snapped a 1-1 pitching duel between the Cards' Pete Falcone and the Pirates' Bruce Kison, 8-6, who survived 11 St. Louis hits with the aid of two double plays.

Giants 9, Reds 4 San Francisco battered Jack Billingham after being held hit-less for four innings, scoring six runs in the fifth inning, and crushed Cincinnati behind Dar-rell Evans' three hits and three RBI. Mets 4, Phillies 1 Roy Staiger keyed two New York rallies and the Mets used only six hits to beat Philadelphia. Staiger singled and scored the first New York run in the fifth, when the Mets scored twice. The Mets added two more runs in the sixth with Staiger delivering a sacrifice fly.

ESTATE BUY NOW AND BE IN YOUR NEW HOME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. lit By The Associated Press It's been a disappointing season thus far for Ferguson Jenkins but it took a turn for the better Tuesday night. The 32-year-old right-hander, who broke in with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1965 and is now with his fourth club, became the 72nd pitcher in major league history to post 200 victories. Jenkins, who has pitched 39 career shutouts, reached the 200-victory milestone with a far-from-classic performrice. He allowed 14 hits and seven runs in seven innings-plus as Boston held on to beat Cleveland 8-7 and snap a six-game losing streak.

"Hitting 200 is like getting a mink coat for the first time," Jenkins said. "You want it, but you never think you'll get it. Fred Lynn drove in a pair of runs and scored three times and Boston survived a 16-hit attack. Boston's Carlton Fisk slammed his 10th home run of the season his first since June 17 and Cleveland's George Hendrick got his 18th. A's 1, White Sox 0 Vida Blue scattered 10 hits in pitching his second straight shutout and the A's scored off Rich Gossage in the seventh inning on a double by Claudell Washington and Ken McMullen's single.
