A few hours after the 31-year old unbeaten champion announced to the world that he was quitting "because this is what my family wants," he left quietly for a resort in the Catskill Mountains to escape the glare of publicity. Marciano's father said Rocky probably would not go to his home at Brockton, until Monday or Tuesday. By then, the aching void left in boxing by Rocky's retirement may be ever more painful.

As soon as his retirement was announced, "title claims" were promptly declared on behalf of Archie Moore and Floyd Patterson and just as promptly ignored by the National Boxing Assn. and Promoter James D. Norris. Both the NBA and Norris contemplated elimination tournaments leading to the crowning of a new champion. Marciano is the fourth heavyweight champion to quit while still on top, the others being Gene Tun-ney, Jim Jeffries, and Joe Lohis.

Jeffries and Louis tried comebacks in vain, and Marciano is emphatic that he won't attempt the same stunt. "I thought it was a mistake when Joe Louis tried a comeback," said Rocky. "No man can say what he will do in the future but, barring poverty the ring has seen the last of me." Marciano, son of a shoemaker, earned approximately $3,500,000 with his thundering fists. He won all 49 of his fights, 43 by knock- DETROIT (UP) The 'long ball," an almost forgotten commodity lesi than a week ago, was the big difference today at the Cleveland Indians perked along with a four game winning streak. The batting attack, practically non-existant during the Indians' opening games, now is featuring the so-called long ball coming at the right time.

It has paid off with 10 homers in nine games. What surprises Manager Lo- Redlegs Win 7-4 With Kluszewski Out of Lineup CINCINNATI. O. (UP) Big Ted Kluszewski could have trouble winning his old first base job back if the Cincinnati Redlegs can win a few more ball games without him. The slugging first sacker sat out Friday night' 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs here, except for a pinchhitting role in the seventh inning.

Manager Birdie Tebbetts said Big Ted was out of shape and the bench warming stint would give him more time to work off the excess poundage. Some 11,000 fans expressed their displeasure at the benching in the series opener with the Cubs that launched a 17-game home stand for the Redlegs. George Crowe, who took over at first base for Kluszewski, was roundly booed several times, but be started a two-run rally in the fourth with a single. The Cincinnati victory snapped a four-game losing streak, ai Redleg hitters pounded four Cub pitchers for 12 hits. Catcher Ed Bailey put the Red-legs ahead for keeps in the fifth with a three-run homer.

Johnny Klippstein went the route for Cincinnati to win his first victory of the season. The righthander also contributed two singles, driving in one run. Walt Moryn, Chicago rightfield-r, smacked- two home runs, his first coming in the fourth with SoDy Drake on base. Ernie Banks singled with two out in the sixth just ahead of Moryn's second home run. The Redlegs and Cubs met again today in the second of a four game series with Paul Minner of Chicago expected to oppose big Brooks Lawrence on the mound.

Both pitchers have won one decision so far. Robbins Seeking Revenge Today PINEHURST, N.C. (UP) Hill-man Robbins of Memphis, pits Dixie golf prestige and a desire for sevenge against Bill Hyndman of Abington, today in their 36-hole duel for the North and South amateur championship. "I'm aiming at a little revenge," the 24-year old Robbins said, pointing out that he took a 4 and 3 whipping from the 40-year old Hyndman in the 1955 National Amateur 6emi-finals at Richmond, Va. The idea of a return crack at Hyndman probably helped Robbins oust Billy Joe Patton, the long-hitter from Morganton, N.C, 2 up, in Friday's play.

Hyndman defeated 20-year old Jake Howard of Ahgusta, 3 and 2, in the other semi-final to make today's match a north-south tussle. By MILTON RICHMAN Chuck Dressen's Washington Senators, the club most of the experts picked to wind up in the American League cellar again, were breezing along in fourth place today by mixing a little nerve with a lot of youth. They won their third game in th last four starts by beating Bal timore, 8-5, Friday night with the aid of some fine relief pitching by 23-year old rookie right-hander Connie Grob and a daring piece of base-running that figured in a decisive seventh inning rally. After the Senators blew a five- run lead and allowed the Orioles to tie the score, they started their winning rally in the seventh with a single by Ed Yost. Former Yale baseball captain Dick Tettelbach attempted to sacrifice and Balti more pitcher Erv Palica threw to second base, hitting the bag with his throw.

Instead of stopping at third, Yost high-tailed it all the way home and Tettelbach tore around to third from where he scored on a sacrifice fly by 25-year old Karl Olson. Grob Gets Win As it turned out, those runs de cided the ball game. Grob, who was drafted last winter from Mobile, came on the scene in the seventh, held the Orioles to one hit over the final two-and-one- third innings and was credited with his first major league vic tory. The White Sox remained in first place by outlasting the Athletics, 9-7, as southpaw Billy Pierce went the distance for his third straight victory. Minnie Minoso led the White Sox onslaught with a double, and a sin gle which drove in three runs Teammate Walt Dropo homered The loser was Art Ditmar, who pitched a one-hitter against the White Sox a week ago.

Big Don Larsen pitched a six- hitter and aided his own cause with a double and a single in leading the Yankees to a 5-2 decision over the Red Sox. In handing Bos ton its fifth consecutive setback, Larsen pitched his way out of three jams, including a bases- loaded, none-out situation in the firs inning. Tom Brewer went un til the eighth and was the loser. Bobby Avila's two-run homer with two out in the 10th inning off Frank Lary gave Cleveland a 4-3 victory over Detroit and stretched the Indians' winning streak to four straight games. Don Mossi pitched the ninth inning and was the winner although he gave way to Ray Narleski in the bot torn of the 10th after Earl Torgeson homered and Al Kaline and Harvey Kuenn followed with sin gles.

Second Four-Hitter Roger Craig pitched his second four-hitter against Pittsburgh in a week while leading Brooklyn to a 7-2 conquest. The Dodgers collected only six hits but three were homers by Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges. Pirate starter Ronnie Kline was the loser. A sixJiit pitching effort by Allan Worthington and two-run homer by Daryl Spencer in the sixth inning paced the Giants to a 5-3 victory over the Phillies. Herm Wehmeier was the loser.

Referee Joe Palmer warned Lo gart for a low punch to the midsection during the sixth round and the crowd of 1,529 booed Loeart to the end of the fight.

Palmer gave five rounds to Lo gart, four to Miceli and one even. while Judges Paul Cummins and dick Albino agree on seven rounds for Logart, two for Miceli and one even. The United Presa card agreed 1,000 Athletes in Wesleyan Relays DELAWARE. O. (UP) The Ohio Wesleyan Relavs.

(UP) Willie Hartack, the nation's leading jock ey last year with 417 victories celebrated his "day" In fine fash ion Friday at Laurel Park. He booted home three winners, but finished second in the featured race named after him LARGER VARIETY on sluggers of the Al Rosen, Al Smith and Vic Wertz variety after the trade that sent Larry Doby to Chicago. Little Men Hit Hard But look who has been giving that timely offensive punch during the recent win streak. None other than the Indians' Latin in- neld combination of Chico Carras-quel and Bobby Avila, two of the smallest men on the team. Avila took over the slugger's role in Friday's 4-3 extra inning battle wit hthe Detroit Tigers.

The second baseman smashed a two run homer with two out in the 10th to down the pesky Tigers. Avila's homer came off Frank Lary, after the Tigers had fought back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the score on solo homers by Charley Maxwell in the seventh and Al Kaline in the eighth. The Tigers threatened again in their half of the 10th but fell one run short of tying the score. Earl Torgeson homered with two out, and Kaline and Harvey Kuenn followed with singles. Narleski Rescues Tribe Reliefer Ray Narleski, however, got rid of Ray Boone on a fly to center to end the threat.

Cleveland started Mike Garcia to an early lead with a run in the third on Gene Woodling's single and a double by Rocky Colavito. Vic Wertz hit a bases empty homer in the sixth to make it 2-0. The victory went to southpaw Don Mossi, who took over for starter Mike Garcia in the ninth and held the Tigers scoreless. Lary suffered his second setback against no wins. Today, Bob Lemon, who defeated the Tigers, 5-2, in Cleveland last Sunday, was scheduled to pitch against young Bud Black.

Lemon has won one of two games, and Black has a 1-0 mark. Lopez indicated he would start Herb Score in Sunday's single game here. Billy Hoeft was expected to handle Detroit's mound chores. Leafs Lose Again; Wings Defeat Jefs By UNITED PRESS The Toronto Maple Leafs, who started the current International League season with five straight victories, suffered their third loss in a row to the Miami Marlins Friday night. Snyder and Thornton Kio- per combined to set the Leafs down on six hits with Snyder picking up the victory in a 3-1 decision.

Lynn Lovenguth went all the way for the losers and was tagged for 13 hits. The Rochester Red Wings beat the Columbus Jets, 4-3 for the second straight day with Ronnie Plaza's bases empty homer in the ninth providing the edge. Dick Hand and Stan Jok also homered for Rochester which moved into first place. The Buffalo Bisons, shut out by Al Cicotte of the Richmond Virginians Thursday night, took it out on a quartet of Richmond hurlers for an easy 10-2 victory and Frank White tossed a seven-hit shutout to enable the Montreal Royals to beat the Havana Sugar Kings, 3-0, in other games. in 1947 and had 16 straight knock-outa by 1949.

They didn't throw him to the tigers. Because it wasn't until 1950, after he had won 25 straight, that he went up against the equally young and promising La Starza. Rocky won it close and, some said, was piloted around rollicking Rollie for three years. Instead of a rematch, they sent him out to wreck such non-entities as Eldridge Eatman, Ted Lowry, Bill Wilson, Keene Simmons, Hal Mitchell, Art Henri and Red Ap-plegate. And if you never heard of them, small wonder.

But by mid-1951, shrewd Al Weill figured he was ready for the big drive and since that time no man can say the Rock side-stepped him. The Rock polished off Rex Layne, a big trial horse, and Freddie Beshore. Then they put him in with and even the Rock cried when he slugged a legend into limbo. Swiftly then, in the year which followed, he crushed Lee Savold, Gino Buonvino, touted Bernie Reynolds and the threatening Matthews. Then The Title Then he got Walcott and the title.

The Walcott return was a farce, but not through any fault of Rocky's. Some still criticized him as a bull in a china shop when he clobbered La Starza to silence a three-year old beef. Twice then out Charles. Next came go, 7-4, despite two homers by Walt Moryn which drove in four runs. Johnny Klippstein went the route for the Redlegs and was furnished with the winning margin when Ed Bailey hit a three-run homer ofoff Russ Meyer in the fifth.

Rain washed out the scheduled game between Milwaukee and St. Louis. Villanova Leads In Penn Relays PHILADELPHIA (UP) Villa- nova, with one Dig tiue sauea away by a record breaking performance, poured its strength into the mile and sprint medley of the Penn Relays today in a bid to retain the two championships it won for the first time last year. The Wildcats, feasting on a 4:09.6 anchor mile by Irish Import Ron Delany, snapped an 18-year old carnival record with a con vincing 25-yard victory over favorite Oxfrod Friday in the only major relay title decided on the opening day of the 62nd annual Penn games. Two other carnival records were set as Jim Beatty of North Caro lina ran 9:09 to win the two mile race he won last year and clip two seconds off the record of the lae Dick Shea of West Point and Al Hall of Cornell captured the hammer throw on a heave of 190 feet 7Vi inches.

With seven title races jammed into a two hour period today, Coach Jim Elliott lined up Delany and Charlie Jenkins for the third and fourth legs of the mile and named Delany to run the anchor 880 kg in the sprint medley. Norris to Testify In Court Monday NEW YORK (UP)-James D. Norris, president of the International Boxing Club, probably will take the stand Monday when his organization begins its defense against government charges of monopoly in U. S. District Court.

Whitney North Seymour, roun-sel for the IBC, said Gen. John Reed Kilpatrick, former president of Madison Square Garden, would he the defense's first witness. Seymour said Norris and his partner, Arthur M. Wirtz of Chicago, probably would follow Kilpatrick to the witness stand in the non-jury trial. The government rested its antitrust case against the IBC Friday.

Fullen sad he learned of the al leged contributions last Decmber in Cleveland along with officials of Ohio State, including Athletic Director Dick Larkins, Sportscast- er Tom Manning of Cleveland, and the unidentified former faculty representative from Michigan State. The letter said that Michigan's "technique is that Crisler (athletic director Fritz Crisler of Michigan) calls the alumnus, tells him they want a certain man in his terri tery and not to bother him (Crisl er) with the details." Fullen said that if 100 men at $1,000 a year fail to produce re sults: "maybe now they will have 200 men at $2,000 a year." "This will raise the market price of athletes even in Ohio, and when it gets tough enough that we can no longer stay competitive, or the other Big Ten universities can no longer stay competitive, they will start to yell out loud instead of protecting one another as they do now." Fullen said he did not authorize release of the letter to the public, since it was 'a confidential communication.

He said one member of the board probably made the letter public after the Big Ten ruling.

Littler Trying Second Win LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UP) In a good position to become the first man ever to win the classic Tournament of Champions twice, Gene Littltr of San Diego teed off in the third round of the tourney today holding a four-stroke advantage over his 20 competitors. Continuing to play the Desert Inn Country Club course as though he had laid it out. Lit tler was three under par for 36 t.oies on a course that has all the major hazards long rough, distance, fast greens, six lakes, and weather that defies description. The closest to him were four men tied at 145: Gardner Dickinson of Panama Beach City, Lloyd Mangrum, of Apple Valley, Shelley Mayfield, of West-bury, N.Y..

and stolid Ted Kroll of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The rest of the field was strung out with five men tied at 146 and two at 147. blubbery Don Cockell, rated as the best abroad, and finally it was the brash Archie Moore who was battered into darkness along with blatant claims. So if anybody asks you "Just how good was he?" or "Who did he ever beat?" remind them that he knocked off every guy he ever faced.

He never flinched, he never quit and he showed quite often that he could get up off the floor. "How good was he?" The history books of the ring will show that Rocky Marciano had to be one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. ft' COLUMBUS, O. (UP) A letter written by Alumni Secretary John B. Fullen of Ohio State University last December was revealed Friday, charging a group of wealthy men contributed $100,000 a year to University of Michigan football players.

(UP) One of the oddest front nines in the history of tournament golf was fired Friday by Dow Finsterwald, of Athens, Ohio, in the $37,500 Tournament of Champions here. Finsterwald started with an eagle-three on the first hole, he parred the second, bogied the third, birdied the fourth, fifth and sixth and then bogied the seventh, eighth and ninth.

It all added up to a oneunder-par 35 and brought his total for 27 holes to 103. But when the second round was completed the Ohioan sunk to 14th spot when he shot a 37 on the second nine for a 156 on 36 holes. Frank Stranahan of Toledo ranks 10th with 146, five strokes behind Gene Littler, Diego, who is leading the field with a blazing 141 at the end of the second round. NOTICE!

"Just how good was he?" They asked it about all of them.

Even Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis had their doubters in the days they were on top and only time draped the mantle of youthful invincibility around them. It figures to do the same for the Rock. Because, while you might well ask "Who did he beat?" the an-awer remains that he beat every man he ever faced. Maybe you didn't like his rushing, relentless, bull-like style, but 49 guys went up against him and 49 of them went down to defeat. Goodbye for Five Five of them among the best of his era he demolished and, to all intents and purposes, ended their careers at the top with his crushing fists.

An aged and erring Louis was one. The others were highly-regarded Harry Matthews, the ancient but muscularly agile Jersey Joe Walcott, hopeful young Roland La Starza and canny Ez-lard Charles.
