RAINIERS IN WIN
OVER SOLONS 4-1;
GIVEAWAY GAME!
By Associated rrcss
As is their custom along about
this time of year, the Seattle Rain
iers are showing distinct symptoms
of momentum today in the Pacific
Coast League pennant scramble.
The Rainiers slipped up into
third place last night by trouncing
the front runnihg Sacramento Sol
ons, 4-1, and if they perform the
way they did last season in vault
ing from last place into the first
division, they could go all the way
Seattle may not expect many mon
giveaway victories like the one la
night, however. All four Rainier
runs came in the fourth inning anc
were unearned. Sacramento startei
Bob Gillespie walked eight men be
fore ha was removed.
The conquest put the Rainiers a
half game ahead of Oakland, which
lost at Hollywood. 3-2. Right Field
er Herb Gorman saved the game foi
the Stars in that one by a spectacu
lar catch of A1 Davis' line drive
with the tying run on base irr the
ninth.
A ninth inning single by Eddrc
Barr drove in the run that gave
Portland a 3-2 victory over San
Diego as Red Adams chucked three -
hit ball in behalf of the second
place Beavers.
Bob Thurman broke up an over
time contest at San Francisco, in
which tire Sea!, whipped Los Ang
eles, 5-3. Thurman’s two-run hornet
in the bottom of the tenth decided
the issue.

CARTER WINS
TITLE MATCH
NEW YORK. May 28 —UR— Jim
my Carter, the mystery man of box
ing, held the world lightweight
championship today and defiantly
declared he is readv to prove “I'm
no cheese champ.”
A comparative stranger even in
his home town, the 27-year-old Har
lem Negro knocked the crown off
Ike William’s groggy head last
night when he stopped the weight
weakened defending champion in
2:49 of 14th round of a 15-round
er in Madison Square Garden.
The flat-nosed, ex-GI knocked
down scowling Ike four times and
was leading on the scoreboards of
all three officials when Referee
Pete Scalzo stopped the bout as
Williams staggered to his feet after
taking a six-count.
Told there. Is a possibility the
NBA might not consider him a;
lhampion, Carter said “I'm going
o give Williams a return bout and
I’ll knock him out quicker the next
,ime. And after Ike, I'll take on
inyone who deserves a chance and
■an bring in some money.”
The NBA, irked at Williams for
lot defending his title often
mough, said Carter, rated 12th in
ts rankings. Was not considered a
noper opponent. A high ranking
■IBA official indicated however that
Harter might be recognized if he
igrees to meet certain challengers
vilhin a definite period.
The bitter, battered and glum ex
hampion, who nursed lumps under
loth eyes, said “I lost because I took
iff too much weight too fast. It
vill be different the next time.”
They will probably meet in the
3arden again within 60 to 90 days.
JIG 1C GiVES OK

cision after a joint meeting of ath
letic directors, declined to reveal
