Despite the presence of Golli day, the West Coast Stars were favored heavily to rack up their ninth triumph In the series, prim arily because of overwhelming strength in the field events and an apparent wealth of middle distance stars. Ernie Shelton and Des Koch, teammates on this year's South ern California powerhouse, were considered virtual shoo-ins in the high jump and discus.

Saturdays Fleck Won Money In 12 Tournaments DAVENPORT, Iowa I Jack Fleck, virtually unknown outside his native Iowa until last week stood beside the greats of golf today. But his fiery rise to claim the U.S. Open golf championship last week is not as surprising as it first appears. The 32-year-old professional never won a major tournament until Sunday. But until this pas! year he limited himself to just the winter circuit. Won In 12 Making the full winter-summer swing this year, he was a money winner in 12 of the 15 important tournaments he entered and av-Bi-aepd 71.21 strokes per round. Fleck was 17 when he came in golf and his career was cut short by 34 years navy service curing World War 11. tie servea uis ap prenticeship in the club profes sionals' category. I'm from five to 10 thousand rounds behind the others," he says. It was a new Jack Fleck who won the ODen at San Francisco's Olympic Club in a stirring playeff with his idol, Ben Hogan. Fleck and Hogan could be golfing broth ers. Their cool, calculating manner isms are similar. Jack admits ne modeled some of his game after Ben's. ' "I have idolized Ben Hogan ever since my caddie days," he says. Lovei Golf . "He loves golf and the compe tition and I love golf and the com petition." Fleck and his pretty wife, Lynn, made a decision shortly after their marriage in 1950 that Jack would give the professional tour a try to see if he could ma.ee it. "It cost us $8 for every $1 Jack had won that season," Lynn con fides. The Flecks still were in the red as late as 1953. "I didn't think he would make it," she adds. But he learned to control his "temperment" and "I've every confidence in him now." That confidence is shared by other Iowans who know him. A Hunch Joe Brown, pro at. the Des Moines Golf and Country Club who started Fleck out as a $5 a week club cleaner in 1939, says: "I had a hunch he'd win the Open. I thought so because in the past few meets Jack has had & nice closing round." Brown said Fleck "didn't know anything about golf" when he started. "But he was eager to learn. "I feel I still got a lot to learn in golf," says the man who owns the country s top golf prize. 4,000 FIGHTERS NEW YORK Wl The "Ring Record Book and Boxing Encycl opedia contains the records of al most 4.000 fighters, says its editor,- Nat Fleischer.

The meralds, who moved into contention only a week ago after a slow start, installed themselves in the throne room Monday night after a 10-2 belting of the Chiefs. It was the seventh loss in nine starts for the Chiefs, who domi nated the league through most of the season and less than a month ago held a 6 Vi-game bulge over the field. Salem also advanced in the standings. The Senators slugged Spokane 6-2 in the league's other scheduled game and moved to with in four percentage points of the Chiefs and only a half game out of first place.
