Claim Russian
Didn't Brock Thomas
jump Record

New York (ANP)-A re-evalu-
alton of the measurement of the
supposedly world high jump record
set by Russian high jumper Valery
Brunei in Moscow recently has re-
vealed that the Russian did not
really break the world high jump
record of the United States star,
John Thomas of Boston university,
but merely tied it.
Tass, the officialf Societ news
agency, had said that Brunei had
leaped 7 feet, inches, lettering
Thomas mark of feet, y inches.
The re-evaluation came about in
the wake of a reported mathemat-
ical error in converting the mark
of Thomas from feet and inches to
centimeters, the type Of calculation
used throughout the world except
in the United States.
AS it turned out later, both
Thomas and Brunei scaled 7 feet
81 inches, instead of the IA form
erly credited to the Russian. This
is the angle:
When the United States submit
ted Thomas 7-3 y to the Inter
national Amateur Athletic Found
alton for approval, one of the or
ganization's mathematical experts
translated it to meters and cent?
meters for the rest of the world
His calculations showed 2.22 cent?
meters. This translates to only 7-S
3/s.
Actually, however, 7-3 y comes
to exactly 2.23 meters, the same
measurement for Brunei.
Thus, it appears that for the
time at least, Thomas record still
stands. Brunei tied it, but didn't
break it.

Fighter Archie
Moore InVodes
PUBLISHING Field

New York CAMP - Archie
Moore, the eloquent veteran of
fistiana and current light heavy
weight champion, has added an
other title to his list.
At a news conference with a
jazz background, the San Diego
fist fighter revealed that he has
entered the publishing field. He is
the publisher of Jazz Day, new
music magazine.
AS Moore spoke of the new en-
terprise, he got in a few ticks on
pair of bongo drums and later
cut in on a session on the bass
fiddle. He was backed up musical
| ly by Horace Parlan and the Play
house Four.
The conference was held at the
Village Gate, a jazz center, and a
good crowd was on hand, just as
Archie wanted it to be. He spoke
freely and spontaneously Of the
future, as he saw it, in this new
jazz world beyond the prize ring.
He gave no indication that he
anticipates quitting boxing to de-
vote his full attention to this or
any other business enterprise
though. Fighting evidently, will
continue to be his main occupa-
ton.
Archie was in a very jovial mood
as he addressed the conference
here last week.
This is a tired man marching to
war and he needs something to re-
vive him." said the veteran clouter
whose age has been stated variably
from between A to At years.

Ernie Banks Must
Undergo Surgery;
Blow To Cubs

Chicago CAMP - Ernie Banks,
the smuggling Chicago Cubs star,
last Thursday June 22) was con-
fronted with the stark reality that
he will have to undergo an opera
ton to remove a loose cartilage
in his left knee.
When the operation is to be per-
formed, no one seemed to know
exactly, not even Ernie.
Banks was told point blank
about the operation by DR.. Ralph
Metz, the Cub physician, after
Ernie was examined at Wesley
Memorial Hospital and shown an
X-ray of his knee. But DR.. Metz
did not tell Banks then when the
operation should be performed.
May Be Out 9 Weeks
"a. =. He just said it would have
to be DONE" said Ernie. IF he did
it now I'd be out (the linup) about
four to six weeks"
Banks had left Wrigley Field
suddenly for the hospital. He had
reported at the park at 10 am, as
usual, for pre-game workout prior
to the Cubs-Los Angeles Dodgers
game. He did not return until 1890
pm, and head coach Elvin Tape
was worried. However, Banks, a
rugged team man to the core, in
sisted on playing, despite the fact
that the knee had been drained at
the hospital.
Knee Hampers Playing
Not only that. Ernie played
flawless ball at first base, his most
recent position, and collected three
hits in five times at bat. Since the
knee started bothering him pain
fully more than a month ago
Banks has been switched to the
outfield, and then to first.
Banks said the knee has been
giving him trouble for years but
that it wasn't until this season
that it has had any considerable
effect.
Coach Tape, meanwhile, showed
iustifiable concern. %. I don't
see how Banks can keep going
this way. This could be a case Of
the sooner the better" he com
mented.
Banks Holds Consecutive Games
Record
Since coming to the Cub!
straight from the Negro American
League back in September, 1858
Banks has set all kinds of records
His successive game streak of III
games is the longest current suci
string in the majors. He has beer
out of the lineup only once in hi
eight years with the Cubs. Tha
was in August, 1856, when, aftel
playing 424 games for a success
sive-game record, he was sidelineC
with an infected hand.
Holds ShortstOp, MVP Record
Banks is the only man in tn
National League to win the Mos
Valuable Player award two sue
cessive years. He also holds tn
? homerun record for shortstop, hit
ting A or more, twice.
If Banks is sidelined, the Cub
and Chicago fans will greatly mis-
his big bat. But MI pitchers vii
breathe easier.
