Detroit Boat Edges Seattle Craft, Wins Gold Cup On Points; SIo-Wlo IV Conks Out SEATTLE (M The Gold Cup, elderly symbol of America s speedboat championship, was headed back to Detroit Monday after a merry Sunday mixup in which a loser was the winner and the winner cheered too soon. Gale V, Joe Schoenith's romping monster, earned the cup on points. Halt a million people that's the Seattle Police Department's esti mate of the crowd thought the victory belonged to Miss Thrift way. This brand new Seattle en try in the speedboat racing pic ture roared to clear cut victories in the second and third heats of the 4Sj)h 90-mile classic. The Gale, driven by the owner's son, Lee Schoenith, finished second in the first heat, second in the second heat and third in the last 30-mile go-round. But when the race officials fig ured up the time they found that Gale needed 4.53 fewer seconds to negotiate the 90 miles than did the Thriftway,- which finished third in the first heat. This earned Gale a bonus of 400 points for running the fastest race. With points earned during the beats, Gale wound up with 1,225. Slo Ma IV Stalls Miss Thriftway, lacking a bonus, finished with 1,025 points, me bio Mo-Shun IV, which brought the I Gold Cup to Seattle in 1950, was in the thick ot the point scramnie until her engine conked out on the npvt-tn-last lan of the final heat, She got third place on the cup ladder.

Her 107 miles per hour for the third Jap and 103 for the heat were new marks in gold cup com petition. Failure to finish cost her the 400-point bonus she could have had for recording the day's fast est heat. She was not alone on the side lines at the windup. Flame flashed in the cockpit of Guy Lombardo'a Temp IV in the first lap of the day and driver Danny Foster was burned on the left arm. He was not seriously hurt but the boat was through for the day. Boats Sink In Race .Two craft sank, both after hit ting some undiscovered debris. The Scotter Too, owned by indus trialist Henry Kaiser, holed her hull just before the start of the race. Rebel Suh, running as a team with Thriftway, had the same experience in the second heat. Their drivers were not hurt. Miss United States, another De troit entry, was withdrawn before the start due to engine trouble. The Gale IV conked out for keeps in the second heat.

Lewiston started with a five-run first inning and went on to clob ber Tri-City 17-5, in their series finale at Kennewick Sunday. Eu gene shaded Yakima 4-3 in 11-in-nings in the first game of a twin bill at Eugene, then won the ab breviated nightcap 6-5.

Ad Satalich pitched the full 11 innings and allowed Yakima only six safeties in the Sunday opener at Eugene. The Emeralds scored three runs in the first inning but Yakima came back with one in the second and tied the game with two in the fifth. Eugene won in the nth when Granny Gladstone singled, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on Ted Hesse s single. Don Ra bung, the losing pitcher, also went the route, giving up 10 hits. v Ron Jackson cracked a 5-5 tie in the nightcap with a bases-load ed single in the seventh to give Lugene a sweep of the scries.

Kameroff evened the count when he took the second fail and ap peared welt on his way toward victory in the third when Macera applied a pin hold. Both Kameroff and his com panion, Dirty Doug Donovan, pro tested that referee John Arjon had aided Macera by holding Kamer offs arms. But their cries were to no avail as the decision stood. Macera took the initial fall with a cradle hold and Kameroff took the second fall with a dreaded hangman's hold. In the evening's semifinal, Jack Kiser dumped Arjon with a pin hold and then held on through the remaining lime oi me scneaui ed 30-minutc match to win that event. Donovan got back on the win ning trail with a last-minute vic tory over Johnny Foti in their special opener event. Donovan took his man with knee stomps at 18:50 of a scheduled 20-minute go.

We are getting quite a lineup of new teams for the new season which will soon be off to a fast start. And the majority of the old teams and sponsors will be back again. So, whether new or old, we suggest that you notify the secre tary or the proprietor of your in tentons. And while we are on this topic, here's an invitation to any and all newcomers to Roseburg. Leave your name at the desk or call the secretary if you haven't caught on with a team, but wish to. Also, just to make certain, we suggest earnestly that you find out if you are still in the lineup of the team you toiled for last season. Many teams will have to change their personnel to some extent to conform to maximum team strength in the various and sun dry leagues. Don't get caught short. We have just received a letter from our state secretary, Vefn Turner. We had written Vera to notify him of the untimely death of Lem Bitner, and Vern recalls that Lem was director from the Roseburg Bowling Assn. in the seasons of 1950-51. Also, Lem had a team, either under his own sponsorship or that of the outfit he was working for, every year from the time he came to Rose- burg in 1943 until the past season. That is a record which we believe may be unequalled in the local association. Certainly it is excel lent. DURING the past few weeks, when time has- been hanging just a bit heavy on our hands, we have done some figuring on the accom plishments of . Roseburg bowlers during the past tournament sea We had competitors in five tournaments, one being the big state tournament, one of the North west, covering at least five states and Canada, and one Toye Lind blad's nationwide tournament. Roseburg keglers pocketed $2, 027 of a total of $11,740 for which we worked in the Coos Bav test, for a total of 18 per cent. At Med- Sports In Brief By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TENNIS SOUTH ORANGE, N.

IF YOU LIKE FIGURES, these should be pleasant enough. They might possibly be encouraging to more of the local lads into hitting the tournament trail again next year. Too bad we don't have the official tabulations on what the women's association did, but we know that they did just as well, according to the number of participants. Portland Midget Driver Wins Here Top driver at Saturday night's midget auto race show put on at the Roseburg Speedway by the Portland Midget Racing Assn. was Bob Gregg. Gregg, driver of car number 25, set the fast time at the track and beat the local hard top auto record for fast time around the track. The Portland driver took the Of- fenhauser trophy dash, the third heat and both main events. H l s record time was 16.80.
