Newcomb Eyed i
In NCAA Race
LOS'ANGELES, June lJ-JJP)-The
big question in NCAA track
and field circlet today it: Will
Jim Newcomb, the super chief
from Southern California, run one
or two miles come next Saturday?
The 21-year-old Shawnee-Delaware
Indian ii a major threat at
either distance and is expected to
bloster the Trojan's point total in
their bid to deend their title.
Only a sophomore, the rangy
Portland. Ore., lad has posted
marks of 4:07.7 for the miles and
t:0T for the two-miles this season.
The mile figure, incidentally, is
the fastest for a collegian since
Archie San Romani of Emporia
(Kas.) Teachers and Don Lash of
Indiana ran a dead heat in 4:07.2
in 1937, and the best ever done
by a westerner on the West Coast.
Last week Coach Jess Hill said
his ace distance pupil would run
the two-miles. But after Jim took
the Southern Pacific AAU mile in
4:07.7 last Friday night, Hill
changed his mind.
"Now t don't know which it will
be," Hills says. "I think I'll just
wait until we get to Minneapolis
and ask Jim how he feels. Then
we'll make our decision."
The decision is of extreme in
terest to a couple of Dons, Gehr
mann of Wisconsin and McEwcn
of Michigan. The former is de
f fending NCAA mile champion with
a best mark of 4:10.2 this year.
The latter is the big gun in the
two-mile, having rambled 9:02, six
tenths of a second under the NCAA
record set by Notre Dame's Greg
Sice in 1939.

tersbut still are in third place,
5i games out of first.
Detroit a third sacner, oeorge

behind Robinson with a .344 aver
age. Enos Slaughter, with Musial the
one-two punch of the league-leading

for the New York Giants is re
flected in the averages. Stanky,
outside the top 10 a week ago, has

Pittsburgh Dickering
For Cleveland's Gordon
PITTSBURGH, (JPI The Pitts
burgh Pirates have been dicker
ing with the Cleveland Indians to
hiy their aging second baseman,
Joe Gordon.
H. Roy Harney, Pittsburgh's gen
eral manager, conceded this. How
ever, he said he "assumed" Cleve
land did not want to let Gordon
go. Cleveland's manager, Lou Bou
dreau, had "no comment", on the
deal.
"We have talked about Gordon
with the Indians," Harney told a
reporter. "We haven't had any
recent conversations onthe subject.
We certainly would like to have
him."
Gordon has had a punchiest sea
son with the Indians. He's batting
.229 and has hit five home runs,
a low figure for him. He is 35 and
is believed to be earning around
$35,000 this season. -
All American league teams would
have to waive on Gordon to per
mit the Pirates to take him.

to the hole-in-one tournament fad
this year and crashed through
with a golfing jackpot.
Most hole-in-one tourneys are won
with the ball elosest to the hole.
Not Redding's.
Marshall Lee per, a business man, 1

But he didn't win merely tied
for the first place trophy. I
Forrest Bierne, another business j
one.
The Record-Searchlight hurriedly

The tourney drew 325 entries,
given eight shots each. That's 2.
600 shots or an ace for each
1,300 tries here.
Mathematicians figure the chan
