Gene Conley, Milwaukee's 6-9 pitcher, got five blows for a perfect night at the plate. Last year, with Hartord in the Eastern League, the towering hurler won 20 games | and lost nine.

Bob Kerrigan worked two innings and allowed five hits, Ray Peters, a new pitcher, tailed the eighth and the ninth. He also was batted hard. Peters came in from Reading of the Eastern League. He was sent

three-run homer in the eighth and he balked a fourth run in In the ninth.

Layne "Only Quicker’

By United Press

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 8—Former 'pion Ezzard Charles, trim and confident, was a heavy fayore ite to beat Utah's roughneck Rex Layne in their 10-round

return match here tonight.

Charles T-kayoed Layne in the 11th round of their only previous fight in Pittsburgh last October and the former champ said he thought he could do it again to-

night “only quicker.” Prejudiced Westerners were quick to point out, however,

Layne's advantages in youth, by nine years—in weight an 11-pound bulge—plus additional defensive knowledge which he noticeably has lacked in previous fights." The fight, to be staged in Ogden's Rodeo Arena, was planned to draw nearly 30,000 fans from all parts of the Western United States. Promoter Ken Mayne wouldn't guess at the final gate but said sales passed the $100,000 mark yesterday.

» ” ” THE BOUT means a lot to Layne and Charles. The former

champ and Manager Jake Mintz both think Charles was robbed of the title during his last Walcott fight. Regardless of that opinion, however, Mintz admits Charles’ future. is dependent on the Layne bout. The Charles camp oozes confidence and enthusiasm. He looked impressive in his sparring drills a few days ago and predicted he would get past the rugged, bull. dozing tactics Layne employs “in a hurry.” 3 Layne, who has been working long and hard on his left and combination punches, is in the best shape, “mentally and physically,” of his up and down career, according to his manager,

Arv Jenson. » ~ ”

THE UTAH farmboy displayed a sharp left hook during the last two days training but still lacked

polish. Jenson, however, said the

‘shortened fight, 10 rounds, would be to Layne’s advantage and confided “Layne will surprise them.” Layne, who needs a win badly to bolster his sagging career, was expected to scale 198 pounds to Charles’ 187. " n 2 REFEREE and lone judge Jack Dempsey told both fighters dur. ing a pre-fight meeting he wouldn't stop the fight “because of a little blood.” The former {Utah newsboy and one of the {most colorful champions of all {time said he intended to give “folks a real fight—their money's worth.” {| The juciest plum for the victor will be a possible crack at the 'title next winter. The winner would be "the logical contender for a winter championship match following the proposed September bout between Champ Jersey Joe Walcott and Rocky Marciano, Layne holds a decision over Wal« cott although he was kayoed by Marciano. The bout will not be televised . or broadcast.
