Motorcycle fans compare
Goss to immortal Perry
Three decades ago when stock
car racing was in its infancy in the
Deep South, a man b u ilt a
reputation racing on the dirt bull
ring3. His name was Lee P E tty ,
and though he was not as flashy
as some other drivers o f that era,
Petty was always steady and
always managed to finish -
usually near the front.
He earned a nickname, “ M r .
Consistency".
O n the W inston P ro m o to r
cycle series there is a rider who
bears some similarity in style with
Lee Petty.
His name is Radny Goss. And
Goss is the tw o-w heeled “ M r .
Consistency” .

The w orld’s greatest record hold
er in the hurdles, "Skeets” Nee-a-
mi-ah, is now wearing a San F ran
cisco 49er uniform . W ow l A ll that
speed w ill really shake up the
N .F .L . defensive backs. H e is
strong, swift and fast. W ill it bring
back memories o f Bob ’ ’ B u lle t’ *
Hayes? I wonder if Greg Foster will
miss Skeets. Some say Skeets is tak
ing a loss in pay to go professional.
He's been running pro a long time.
Who ever heard o f Wes Santee?
Guess whet happened. . .
The New York Yankees gave Reg
gie Jackson his release and tried to
change to Billy Ball and away from
their image or one o f baseball’s long
ball teams. The experiment has not
w orked o u t. The Yankee record
stands now at 12 wins and 16 losses.
The C alifornia Angels with Reggie
batting cleanup has a record o f 20
wins and 12 losses. Would you trade
a Mayberry for a Jackson?
Guess w hat happened. . .
Sunday afternoon in the Eastern
C onference finals o f the N .B .A .
Boston beat P h ilad e lp h ia by 40
points. Philly was given a clinic by
Boston, which could do not wrong.
E veryth in g Boston did was g o ld.
But in sports every dog has its day
and tonight it was P hilly's turn to
win. The score— 121-113.
P h illy wanted a split in Boston
and going home with the series even
looks p retty good fo r the *76ers.
How is your hand Lionel? We pick
Philly in 7 (smile).

The C a lifo rn ia Supreme C o u rt

Though he only won one race in

This weekend w ill be the second
opening weekend for the league in
Oregon and the city parks, school
grounds and several private fields
w ill be fu ll o f color and action.
Games are played from 9 am to 4
pm each Saturday and each evening,
beginning around 3:30. A special
spot on Saturday is the field at the
Alpenrose Dairy on S .W . Shattuck
Road. Alpenrose D airy has m a in
tained an excellent facility that has
hosted every little league in the city
for special games and tournaments
and continues to be the site where
Saturday is set aside specifically to
keep this trad itio n alive. Five

share the field during the week
nights.
L ittle League, the oldest youth
sport organization in the country, is
alive and well and even though the
problems often make the headlines,
these are outweighed by a mile by
the positives experienced every day
and every Saturday at the city park
from April through August.

Little Leaguers need support
Every day a former little leaguer
gets a hit in the big leagues, in Seat
tle, Kansas City, Los Angeles or the
Beavers. These players are a long
way from the local city park but that
is where it all started. It starts all
over every spring and the Portland
area is no exception.
13,000 little leaguers, boys and
girls, have taken to the fields in the
Portland m etropolitan area. There
are 40 leagues that o ffe r baseball,
and softball for kids from 6 years to
18. This has come a long way from
the beginning o f L ittle League
