The Speedway, located south of Roseburg on Old Highway 99, will fea ture a paved quarter-mile oval this year, and the grandstand area has been improved, Saturday's action will begin with the time trials at 7:30 p.m. (News-Review Photo) LONDON (UPI) Unbeaten and unmuzzled Cassius Clay, waver ing between anger and jubilation over his 19th straight profession al victory, tentatively accepted a September world championship fight today. The "Louisville Lip," who climbed off the canvas Tuesday night before 55,000 screaming fans and fulfilled his forecast of fifth-round kayo victory over England's Henry Cooper, told Jack Nilon, advisor to world champion Sonny Liston: "I'll take the September title fight if the price is right." Nilon replied immediately: "I've come 3,500 miles to get you. The price will be right. You can have the fight in September." No place nor date was men tioned. That remarkable passago-at-words between 21-year-old Clay and wealthy Nilon of Chester, Pa., was based upon their unmen tioned conclusion that champion Liston will keep his crown in the return title fight with ex-cham pion Floyd Patterson at Las Veg as. Nev., July 22. Clay was elated today because he had achieved his technical knockout in the round he had predicted. Referee Tommy Little. 55, stopped the bout al 1:15 of the ! fifth round because British Em- ! pire champion Cooper, 29, was a ! bloddy mess bleeding from a ' one and one-half inch gash across his left brow and from three smaller cuts beneath the swollen left eye. The butchery had begun with a small nick over the left eye in the first round. When the bout was halted par tially because the huge crowd had been screaming "stop it! stop it!" Cassius proudly held up five fingers and waved them at the fans. , "Mighty Mouth" Clay has scored so many of his 16 kayoes in a predicted round that he al ready is rated the ring's foremost all-time prophet.

GUSTINE NOW A COACH PITTSBURGH (UPI) - For mer Pittsburgh Pirate infielder Frankie Gustine has signed basketball coach at Point Park Junior College. Burdette Wins For Cards; Giants lop Dodgers, 9-3 By United Press International Lew Burdette always was at his best when he could smell the green stuff. ' He proved It in the 1957 World Series when he beat the New York Yankees three times to give the Milwaukee Braves their one and only world championship and he's showed it at other times when big dough wai at stake. The St. Louis Cardinals gam bled last Sunday that the 36-year-old righthander still had "it" when they acquired him in a trade with the Braves and they got their first dividend Tuesday night when Burdette pitched them to a 6-2 victory over tne New York Mcts. The win enabled the Cards the dark, dark horse in the Na tional League race to retain their slender hold on first place. County Matmen Fail To Qualify For Orient Trip CORVALLIS (UPI) Ten boys Tuesday night gained spots on an uregon nign scnooi wresuing team which will tour Japan from j my 15-Aug. 3. They survived a 46-man, two day tournament at Oregon State University. The team, which will repay a visit by a Japanese all star squad to Oregon, is sched uled to leave Portland by plane juiy a ana return Aug. 3. Making up the team will be: Rich Hcnjyoji, Cleveland, 110 pounds; Hick Sanders, Lincoln, 120; Grant Humphrey, , Klamath Falls, 130, Keith Flack, Canby, nu; Don uyxsira, Leuanon, jsu; Rollin Schimmol, Rainier, 160; Fred Fozzard, Marshall, 170; Hank Schcnk, Sllvorton, 180: Don Kauffmnn, Lebanon, 190, and Har old Weight,. Sunset, heavyweight, The acquisition of Burdetle was consistent with the Cardinal plan to go for all or nothing at all this year meaning the first Car dinal pennant since 1946. Burdette was staked to a five- run lead in the first inning and went on to raise his season rec ord to 7-5 as he struck out sev en and walked only one. Carlton Wllley, kayoed in two thirds of an inning, suffered his sixth loss against five wins. A man with a sense of humor to go with his love for a buck, Burdette must have been hilarious as the Cardinals poured over their five first-inning runs with the help of three walks, a sacrifice fly, an error, a balk, a wild pitch and a passed ball. The San Francisco Giants wal loped the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-3, the Milwaukee Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-5, the Cincinnati Reds topped the Phil adelphia Phillies, 2-1, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Houston Colts, 3-1, in . other National League games. A two-run single by Willie Me- Covey and a double by Orlando Cepeda were the big blows of a six-run third inning that paved the way for the Giants' victory over the Dodgers. Jack Sanford was tagged for 10 hits, including three by Ron Fairly, to raise bis record to 9 5. Joe Torre tripled and scored the tying run in the eighth inning and then hit a two-run homer in the 10th to give the Braves' Bob Shaw his third win against four losses. Bill Mazeroski homered for the Pirates, whose Al McBean suffered his second loss compared with seven wins. The Reds pulled out their Vic tory over rookie Ray Culp .and the Phillies when V a d a Pinson got a bad-hop triple to open the ninth inning and Johnny Edwards ultimately singled with the bases filled. The win went to Al Wor thington, who worked only one third of an inning, but the big news for Cincinnati was the strong eight-inning, eight-hit and one-run pitching of Bob Purkey. . Lindy McDaniel's ninth-Inning relief preserved Dick Ellsworth's ninth victory of the season for the Cubs and his fifth straight over tlio Colts. Billy Williams paced the Cubs' seven-hit attack with three hits as Bob Bruco suffered his fifth defeat. 4. . Trust Taste Enjoy The WWs Finest Bourbon since 1795 $510 A Qt.
