The loss dropped the Mets 44 games back of the Cubs in the NL East. By The Associated Press A September rainstorm and a June plane ride sound like a couple of wildly unrelated but they sure things teamed up to put a dent in Cincinnati's hopes in the dizzy National League West title chase. The rainstorm vaMied out scheduled the Keds game with the Chicago Cubs after a wait Monday night. The postponement, coupled with San Franciscos 12-- 2 rout of MontreaTeariier in the day, enabled the Giants to reclaim first place, just .002 percentage points ahead of the Reds. e And, that flight has the Reds in danger of doing a little more slipping tonight. Last June 15, Chicago was 4 after leading Cincinnati seven innings of the second game of a doubleheader, when he game was suspended to permit the Reds to catch a plane to San Francisco, where they were scheduled to play the next afternoon. That game will be resumed r!l!!!!!!'!l!l!!!llll!!i!!l!lll!!l!!!!!tjii;!l!ltll,;;!llllll!lli!!l!it'tl Theres an empty space in the worlti of boxing today with the death of former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. iuc fought them ail. There was no worry about split heavyweight titles when he was fighting. Marciano was no stylish puncher, more like a Pier Sixer. But he sold the tickets and got the job done. xvOck The big Italian retired undefeated as world champ in April, 1956. Recalling that Rex Layne fought the Rock, this writer gave the former a ring. Rex was unaware of the tragedy. Im sine sorry to hear about it Thats a real shame, he was such a great guy, Pittsburgh dipped Atlanta to drop the sagging Braves three games off the pace in 7-- 1 the years. In fact he called me six months ago from Florida. He ran into my cousin, Pat Newey, and thought he should give me a call. It was quite an honor for a guy like him to remember a puncher like me. We communicated over Ron Willie Davis ... 29 straight from the point of interruption with the Cubs holding that lead tonight before the scheduled match regularly with the NLs East Division 5-- 4 leaders. Perranoski . . . 26th save Willie Davis Meanwhile, extended his htting streak to 29 games in helping Los 10-a to success over Angeles the New York Mets that kept the Dodgers just .003 percent- 6 third. Andrus Race Champ Marv Recalls Rocky Rocky reminds me a lot of Gene (Fullmer). He was relentless in the ring and thought of only one thing and that was to win by trying to stop a guy with every punch, said Marv Jenson, who managed both Fullmer and Layne. By BRENT CHECKETTS Deseret News Sports Writer The old saying, When hes good, hes very, very good certainly applies to veteran Salt Lake Fairgrounds Speedway auto racer Mel Andrus. In his Fairgrounds appearances this season, Andrus has for the most part seen things go either one of two ways. Hes either been eliminated from contention fairly early in the main event or won very easily going away. a M o n d ay nights was one of the situations. as Andrus is Peanuts, called by many of his Salt Out of the ring, Rocky was a gentler .an, who would never try to be the big shot or vociferous. Rex trained at Pompton Lake New Jersey, for his bout with Marciano. Layne was actually the favorite until the last few days before the lout. It was a tough fight between two good punchers. In contact with Rocky. I saw him fight Jersey Joe Walcott for the title and he also refereed when Jay Fullmer fought Gale Kerwin at the Fountaine Blu ;flotel, Miami, Florida. He was tops in my book. Well Marv, and Rex, he was tops in other peoples books, too. : ; a new prep grid season with a new twist! Picks took a real nose-div- e in the first ;.'week with 38 per cent.
