New Knothole
Prize Target
SEATTLE I APi Baseball got
a breathtaking new idea Mon
day:
A $100,000 knothole.
The very thought of it is spine
chilling to 1. Pacific Coast
league players and 2. the insur
ance company which isn't sure
Just what It has gotten itself
into. Only the sponsor is brealh
ing normally.
Here's the idea, in knotshell:
Here's the idea, in a knotshell:
than a baseball is being cut
through the fence at Sick’s sta
dium. home of the Seattle Rain
lers. It is 360 feet from home
plate. Any player who hits a
baseball through the hole gets
$100,000.
Roger Rice, the station man
ager for KTVW—which tele
casts Rainier home games—
dreamed up the $100,000 knot
hole. Ills first step was to take
out Insurance with D. K. Mc
Donald A company. If some
body hits the hole the policy
remains in force—until the end
of the current season.
He then reminds himself re
assuringly that only 16 balls even
hit the fence during the entire
1954 schedule of 84 home games.
A steel plate will frame the
hole and there will la* a gadget
behind the fence to prevent the
ball from bouncing back out if
It enters. An Iron cage back of
the knothole will trap the ball.
It will be kept tightly locked,'
you can bet.
Officials Eye Weather
With PCCMeetNearina
By Chuck Mitchelmore
Emerald Co-Sporti Editor
Oregon athletic department of
ficials are turning hopeful eyes
to the sky this week as the
Pacific Coast conference track
meet nears and the unpredictable
Willamette valley weather seems
strangely settled in a good mood.
Rain and foul weather has hit
every home track meet for the
Webfoot varsity this year, even
forcing the field events inside
the unfinisher men’s gymnasium
at the Oregon State dual meet
two weeks ago.
Another weekend of rain
could throw a kink into many
possltiie record-breaking per
formances this Friday and Sat
urday.
In 1952, the last time the
Ducks hosted the conference car
nival, highlight of the meet was
Sam Iness’ world record throw
in the discus at 183’ 5'i”. The
USC ace’s toss was the only
meet mark established, but this
year could be another story.
The three distance runs, Ore
gon's hope for first place wins,
are among the most vulnerable
events. Half miler Jim Bailey'
and two miler Ken Reiser had
times under the existing PCC
marks in last Saturday’s North
ern Division meet, and Bill Dell
inger and a fast mile field are
a threat to that record.
Bailey turned in a 1:51.5
clocking in the 880-yard dash
last weekend to tie the ND
mark. His, time is one-tenth
of a second under the standard
of Hugh .Mitchel set for UCLA
in 1951. A reasonably fast run
Milwaukee to Host
All-Star Baseball
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The
1955 major league All-Star base
ball game, scheduled for Mil
waukee county stadium Tuesday.
July 12, will start at 1:30 p.m.
Details of the annual all-star
contest were announced Tues
day at a meeting here presided
over by Baseball Commissioner
Ford Frick.
As customary, managers of
the 1954 pennant winners will
manage the all-stars—A1 Lopez
of the Cleveland Indians for the
American league stars and Leo
Durocher of the New York Giants
for the National league.
thin Saturday could also put
him below the Hayward field
mark of 1:54.0 set hy Oregon’s
•lack Hutchins In 1952.
Reiser raced the best two mile j
of his career at Seattle in low
ering the ND and school records
MARTIN' PEDIGO
Duck hope in broad jump
to 9:11.2. The performance
places him well up in the field of
crack runners slated to enter
the long distance Saturday and
is better than the PCC mark
held at 9:12.5 by Dixon Gamer,
a 1940 Washington State star.
Here again, a fair contest
should drop the Hayward field
record of 9:13.8, set by Don Mc
Ewen of Michigan at the 1951
PCC-Big Ten meet.
The mile mark is a little
more out of reach, but Ore
gon’-> improving Dellinger and
the fast field from the south
composed of USC’s Sig Wing
and Mdnty Montgomery’ and
UCLA’* Bob Hunt and Bob
Seaman may eclipse it in their
exported tight run.
Idaho’s Phil Liebowitz set the
current standard of 4:09.3 in
1941, but Wing is 1.3 seconds
under it and Hunt only three
tenths of a second over it. This
and the fact that Dellinger cut
over three seconds from his best
previous time in tieing Liebo
witz’s ND mark at 4:12.2 prom
ise a crowd pleaser.
Southern California’s Ernie
Shelton is expected to improve
on his last year’s record per
formance in the high jump at 6’
9*4”. Shelton has topped 6’ 10”
this season.
Bob Kimball of Stanford is a
strong threat to replace Deo
Long’s javelin toss of 235’ 9
thrown for the Indians in
1954. Kimball has a 239’ 7i/2 ”
hurl to his credit already.
In addition to the three run
ning hopes for medals. Coach
Bill Bowerman is looking to
sophomore broad jumper Martin
Pedigo for first place points.
Pedigo is currently in a three
way tie for best mark on the
coast with Stanford’s Frank
Hermann and UCLA’s Charles
Holloway at 24’ 1”. The meet
record in the broad jump is 25’,
set by Jackie Robinson of Brook
lyn Dodger baseball fame for
UCLA in 1940.
