bN JfAON I1AND
 NEW YORK, Aug. 10-lR- -Ezzard Charles rules a solid 5 to 18 favorite to punch 34-year-old Gus Lesne- vich full of holes tonight at Yankee stadium in the first defense of his newly-won NBA heavyweight cox ing championship. The 15-round bout is scheduled for pm. PST>
 Only 49 days after he cautiously outboxed Jersey Joe Walcott to win the crown, the lean 28-year-old Cincinnati Negro rushes to the post in an effort to convince New York skeptics Of his right to be called champ
 No matter how soon he may knock out Gus, if at all, Charles will not be champ in New York State. Eddie Eagan, Chairman oi the state athletic commission, has ruled the winner must meet Lee savold or some suitable opponent before he gives his official blessing E,zzard is king in the other AT states.
 It figures to be a good fight while it lasts, perhaps even sensa- tional, for Lesnevich is prepared to shoot the works early
 Al Veil, IBC matchmaker, was busy on the overseas telephone yes terday, lining up Savold, the Engle- wood. NJ, veteran, for shot at the Charles-Lesnevich winner. Alter Bill Daily, Savold's manager, agreed provided Bruce Woodcock's retire ment became definite, our Brucit changed his mind and decided tc fight.
 As a result, the postponed Savold- Woodcock fight, recognized for thS world title by the British Board oi Boxing Control, now is on again No new date has been set.
 Charles is bitter at the New York Commission for failing tc recognize him as champ.
 I'm champ in New York, too no matter what anysody says, said Ezzard.

 Maintains
 lts Pace
By JIM BACON AP Sports Writer

The Hollywood story Cthe base ball team is an amazing one.
 From June 1 through Aug. 9, the Stars won 36 games and lost 35, a little better than 800 ball. Yet, today they still lead the Pacific Coast league ny 5l2 games. On June 2, their lead was six games.
 It is unusual. to say the least, for a club playing 50-50 ball. to maintain such wide lead. But there's a reason for it.
 On June 2, San Diego and Seattle were in second and third place. Since then San Diego and Seattle have played ATT and 479 ball, re- spectively-the only two teams to fare worse than Hollywood The Stars spotted Portland two runs in the first inning last night and then went on to win 6 to 9 It was Pinky woods 17th win.
 Ken Holcombe, ace of second- place Sacramento's mound staff, won his 10th win in a row as he set down Los Angeles with five hits for an II to 1 triumph. Jim Tabor hit his third homer in two nights.
 Jackie Jensen, often hero for California on the gridiron, was just that for the Oakland Oaks. He slammed ninth inning grand slam homer to break up tight pitching duel and give the Oaks a 6 to victory over Seattle. His clout came off Guy Fletcher, the leagues winningest pitcher.
 Earlier, Jackie had slammed in another run with a single and ended a Seattle threat with a gasp making catch.
 The San Diego-San Francisco tilt was postponed on account ot rain.

RED S0x
 DEFEAT
 YANKEES
By JOE REICHLER AID Cportc Writer


 If the Boston Red sox ever catch up with the New York Yan- kees in their season-long American League pennant chase, most of the credit must be given to their much mafigned pitching staff.
 Tn the last five weeks, during which time the Red Sox have picked up six and a half games on the front-running Yankees, Boston hurlers have pitched 25 complete games in 34 starts. As a result, they've won 25 of them to whittle their deficit to five and a half games. On July the Red Sox trailed the leaders by 12 games.
 Ellis Kinder, the Red Sox' right handed ace, is the latest to go the route. He finished what he started last night, beating the Yankees, 6-3, for his 18th victory against five losses.
 Kinder permitted the Yankees 10 hits, including a pair of nome runs by outfielder Hank Bauer, but an early 50 lead furnished by Birdie Tebbetts and Ted Williams carried him through.
 A capacity crowd of 35,691 was made happy by Boston's first Vic- tory of the season over Raschl' 2 note of disappointment crept Ill, however, by the inability of Dom DiMaggio to prolong his consecu- tive game hitting streak. The Red sox centerfielder, who had hit in 34 consecutive games, was held hit less in five trips to the plate.
 Williams homer, his 23th of the season, was the 250tn of his career.
 CLEVELAND ALSO WINS
 The triumph, Boston's 18th in 15 starts in this current home stand, left the third place Bosox still game behind the runnerup Cleveland Indians. The Tribe whip ped the St. Louis Browns, 9-2, to reduce the Yankees lead to four and a half games.
 Bob Teller gained his fourth straight and 10th victory of the season as the Indians ended a three-game lcsing streak.
 The fourth place Philadelphia Athletics and fifth place Detroit Tigers won their games, to move forward also. The As, aided by l5 bases on balls, defeated Washing ton, 8-3, and the Tigers walloped the Chicago White SoX, 1l-5.
 Brooklyn and St. Louis con tinued in their first place National League deadlock. The Dodgers whipped the Philadelphia Phils, 8-1 and the Cardinals won from Gin cinnati, Al. The New York Giants protected their hold on third place by edging out the Boston Braves 4-3. Tn the only daylight contest the Pittsburgh Pirates slugged the Chicago Cubs, 8-3.
 Rookie Carl Erskine hurled three hit ball for Brooklyn and St. Louis southpaw Harry Brecheen permitted the Reds only seven hits.

TOURIST TRIPS BY AIR

The Civil Aeronautics Board is juggling another hot potato-an ap- plication by a group of wealthy North Carolinians and some of the Delaware duPonts to conduct aer- iai Cooks Tours"
 Operating under the name of Re- sort Air Lines, Inc, the group rlans to sell vacation flights on an all-expense basis. In other words, the cost of meals, hotel accommodations and local sight seeing excursions either abroad or in the USA would be included in n special tourist airplane ticket.
 If a certificate is granted, con- ducted vacations by air would be projected to most major cities in the United States, plus the Ba- hamas, Puerto Rico, Havana, Ven- ezuela, Mexico City and the Prin- cipal cities of Canada. Passengers would pay lump sum for the en- tire trip. just as they do for con- ducted. group vacations by bus, train and boat.

DEATH OF P. R. BRADLEY

Juneau will mourn the death of Philip R. Bradley, a.lose name will always be associated with the famous Alaska Juneau gold mine. His engineering ability was demonstrated when the death of his brother Fred Bradley placed him in active management of the gold property which was recognized the greatest low grade ore producer in the world The mine work was discontinued in 1914 when the low price of gold and mounting labor costs forced suspension But the gold is still there and when conditions bettered in all phases of the mining industry the mine will pre- slnnably be reopened and production resumed
 Mir Bradley last visited Juneau in 1941 and at that time made plans for increased production with opening of new leads He public spirited He had a most pleasing personality and acquainted with the men who worked in the mine the mucker as well as the bull. .dozer" He always maintained safety first strict enforcement in the Alaska Juneau and his staff was and is composed of the best known men in the mninq industry.

CONVINCING MULEY BOB
 DOUGHTON

Speaker Rayburn also did some plain talking during conference cn the organization of the Ways and Means Committee with Chair man ''Muley" Bob Doughton of North Carolina. The North Caro- linian was politely, but firmly, told that his committee would have to undergo a face-lifting.
 A higher quota of liberal mem- bers was needed to insure favor able consideration of Administration tax, social security, reciprocal trade and other measures, said RaJ burn, adding he hoped Doughton and his Ways and Means colleagues would keep this in mind when they filled six Democratic vacancies on the Committee.
 Rayburn and Mccormack also made it clear that geographical considerations" as well as a liberal philosophy, should be kept in mind in filling the vacancies. The lead- CTS pointed out that, of the 10 Democrats now on the Committee, only cne-John Dingell of Mich igan-was from the Middle West or West.
 The 85-year-old Doughton is called 'Muley' because of his some times stubborn character But, although he has been no ball of fire in supporting Administration tax and social-security legislation, the agreed to follow the Speakers suggestions"
