Either he knocks the other guy out or he winds up on the deck himself, So far'this year, 30-year-old Bob has had five fights. He was flat- tened in two by Exzzard Charles in February. Since then he has racked up four straight victories via the kayo route, Frankie Dan- iels of Bakersfield, Calif., became No. 4 last night at 2:44 of the seventh round at St, Nicholas Arena.

Russians Are Amateurs, Says Sports NEW YORK (For the next three nights and days the eyes of the baseball world will be centered largely on Yankee Stadium, and at the end of that period we may know with some degree of certain- ty whether the Cleveland Indians are destined to snap the Yanks’ string of five straight world cham- pionships. If Al Lopez’s vastly improved club should exceed even rere delirious prospect and sweep the three-game set behind its “big three,” then General Manager Hank Greenberg will be safe in cracking open the customary keg of champagne when the Tribe boards the cars out of here on Thursday night for Chicago, The Bombers’ chances of recovering from such a blow would be sub- stantially nil, If they ‘take two out of three, the Indians will establish them. The_ Weatherman Olympic Mogul |=: NEW YORK #—As far as Olym- pic chief Avery Brundage, one of the world’s foremost proponents of pure amateurism, is “eoncerned, there is no taint of professionalism among the Russian athletes who will participate in the Olympics. Brundage collected his informa- tion first hand during a three-week trip through Russia. He told a news conference yes- terday that he had been assured by Russian sports chief ‘Nicolai Romanov that the country’s gigan- tie sports program abides by ama- teur rules. “And I saw nothing on my trip to make me question this,” he said. “Of course, there undoubt- edly are some abuses in Russia as there are in all countries. Every- where in the world I am reminded of American college football schol- arships and asked if that is pure amateur sport.” He said he presented Romanov with clippings from American and Western European papers stating that Russian athletes are sup- ported by the state. “Romanov denied any profes- sionalism,” Brundage said. “He said Russian athletes must place their education and their jobs ahead of sports. “The main thing about my trip is that I brought back a statement from the Olympie head in Russia that they believe in the Olympic rules and follow them. Now we have this on record and if we find any abuses, we can go to head- quarters.” Brundage said that the Russians are not even committed to parti- cipate in the 1956 games at Mel- bourne. Diplomatic relations be- tween Russia and Australia have been broken off because of a spy case. When Brundage asked Ro- manov specifically about 1956, the Russian merely said: “Tt is a long way off and many things can happen in between. Pole Sitter Shifts Station DETROIT @—Richard “Dixie” Blandy of Dayton, Ohio, calmly shifted from one foot to another today atop a 50-foot flagpole at the Michigan State Fair grounds. Blandy, 52, a former flagpole painter, climbed up on the pole yesterday. He stands on a small two feet square platform and says he will not come down for at least eight days. He was hired to pub- licize the state fair which opens Friday. 2 “Pl stay on top of the pole until my feet swell so badly I can’t take it any more,” Blandy says. “Then I'll come down’ and go to a hospital for treatment.” | MAN'S OW.1 AUTO Roundup By Gayle Talbot selves as strong favorites to go on virtually unmolested to the wire. Even a single victory. would send them back West still in a very advantageous position, The only thing they have seriously to fear is a complete collapse and the loss of three straight to their hard» driving pursuers. » In other words, this is the shows down on whether the 1954 edition of the Indians is, as its admirers insist, an entirely different propo sition from the Cleveland clubs which have run second for the } past three seasons.
