(See story next page.) nBnflflnim9 With Jerry Stone The Scandinavians through the years have been in the middle of the act when it came to breaking long-distance running records. But the Finns and Swedes are on the outside looking in whilst epic happenings come about in this year of 1954 . Bannister, a Brit on, was the first man to get under 4 minutes ih the mile . . . Wes Santee, a Kansan, and John Lan dy of Australia have closely pressed four minutes . . . Zato pek, a Czech, smashed the 5,000 meter standard and Josey Barthel of Luxemburg is another top ranking present day miler. Remember the days when the mile was dominated by such men of the far north as Paavo Nurmii, A r n e Anderson and Gunder Haegg ... Takes a king-sized amount of intestinal fortitude to drive that Indianapolis race. The most in teresting question in the closing stages of Monday's classic was if and when Bill Vukovich would make his third pit stop. The nor mal requirement in this 500-miler is three stops, but Vukovich skip ped the third one and went on to victory ... It was keep going or lose . . . And Bill kept going at blow at 130 per . Take a look at as usual you 11 find a large snare of em nailing irom California. The same goes in bigtime baseball and tennis . . . Just about the only sport we can think of where California falls short of being the dominant state is pro golf. The Texans get the honors there by a mile ... Borleske Political Fortunes Fall Nig Borleske, the former Whitman athletic great and long-time coach of the Missionaries, recently was defeated in a bid for re election as mayor of Walla Walla . . . Almost everybody on the Kay Wftnlon nfthall team wnrkc at hackpthall officiating in the winter time ... An array of athjetes weren't the only thing Willamette lost via the Sunday graduation ceremony. Also exiting was Donna Cheney, the pert baton-wielder, who put on the half-time acts in last fall's xrid games . . . AI Rosen, Cleveland's great hitter, is a perfectionist. While still in the budding stage he took stock of his weakness and systematically set out to improve upon 'em. We'd sav Al has done a pretty good job in this regard and enemy hurlers would be sure ot agree. But being a perfection ist. Rosen still isn't satisfied. In fact, he probably never will be satisfied, even if he hits .450 one of these years ... As a man of Rosen's thinking would put it, "Heck, there's plenty of room above .450, ain't there?" ... Knee Finished Easter's Major Career You and I have a bad knee, pal, and it may cause some cussing getting in and out of a car but it won't cost us fame and glory and good, hard cash (lots of cash) . . . That's what a pesky knee cost Luke Easter, late of the Clevelands ... If big Luke had been swing ing on solid underpinning the last few seasons, he'd have been up near the top in homers and RBI's. The Indians were a long time giving up on Easter. They kept him in the middle of the lineup when he was slumping and they stuck with him through frightful fielding lapses. But they couldn't keep him in there when that knee raised cain ... It's rather heartening, this tremendous resurgence of the San Francisco Seals. The hottest club in the Coast League, these same Seals were in the throes of a dismal situation a year ago . . . Base ball was all but dead in the Bay' City under the ownership of dis interested Paul Fagan. The losses were many and the fans were few . . . Fagan gave up and at that point the patient's chances for sur vival appeared poor indeed. Then into the breech stepped a live wire citizen's committee. They surveyed the damage, and got dov n to work . . . That group's labors and faith in the baseball future of San Francisco has paid off in the current magnificent record of the Seals ... So, the lesson here is that no matter how bad the situation, never give up. Another lesson is that the fans will start stirring if there is something to draw 'em as witness the 20,000 that turned out at SF Monday to watch the poor, poor Portland take another pair of whuppings . . . The subject of a goodly portion of the pre season build-up stuff and probabiy the No. 1 "cover boy" among the major league frater nity was Milwaukee's Eddie Mathews. But about the only headlines Eddie has mrde since the season started was the incident when he was picked up for reckless driving. Caps' Leading WI Margin Cut As Eskimos Gain Second Place By The Associated Press T1e Edmonton Eskimos moved into second place in the V'estern Intematioral League race Tuesday night as tney topped the leading Vancouve Carila -os 7-. The loss also cut the Caps' top place mar gin to three games. Yakina fell out of the runnerup slot after tak ing an 8-5 licking at the hands of Wenatchee and at Kennewick the Lewiston Broncs dumped the Tri City Braves 7-3.

S riggs to Face Tribe onight By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor The story was still the same at Waters Field last night as its shrinking residents dropped an other ball game, this one by a 6-4 nod to the Spokane Indians for the Tribe's third win over the locals in as many tries. And again it was a late-game uprising which wiped out a Salem lead and put the visit ors over the hump. Don Osborn's Philadelphia Philly farmhands tal- Tiger' Takes Nod in Main: Gomez Winner Tiger Tom Martindale came out the winner in his grudge scrap witJi Bad Boy Boris Kamaroff at the Armory last night in the wrestling mainer, using the ring edge outside the squared circle for the clincher in the "no dis qualification" brawl. It was a rough one all the way, as expect ed. Kamaroff started the water boil ing when he pulled Tommy's sweater over his head during the pre-match confab with Referee Babe Small at mid-ring. A hang man's hold later finished Martin dale, but in No. 2 he got things off in good shape by jumping Kamaroff before he 'could enter the ring, scored with kidney punches and a backbreaker and copped the fall. Much of No. 3 was spent in war fare on the Armory floor and was climaxed when Martindale ram med Boris' noggin into the edge of the ring. The Tiger Man was back in the ring, with the win counted out for him, as Kama roff remained on the floor fight ing the cobwebs. Pepper Gomez was winner of the semi-windup via foul. One of his wild haymakers missed Leo Wallick and conked Ref Small, a new arbiter who weighs 240 pound?. As Gomez was trying to help Small to his feet, with apol ogies, the rusged Wallick belted Pepper from the ring. Small would have none of such and awarded the match to Gomez. Kurt von Poppenheim and Ricki Starr went to an overtime draw, made longer by five minutes on a request by Starr. He couldn't catch up with the cautious Prus sian, however, and things ended in a no-fall tie. In the opener Jack Kiser and Buck Weaver went to another draw, a fast-moving mix through out. In fact, all matches were on the slam-bang side during tht evening's warfare.

Both zipped through the opposition with ease, and the only base hit in yie four stanzas came off Del Sarto in the third when Catcher Red Dean trickled a grounder through the hole. But in the fifth Spokane scored once after both Charley Ruddock and Bob Donkersly had singled i and Del Sarto and First-baseman ! Harry Warner messed up Giavon i onni's sacrifice bunt, playing it in to a scratch hit. Ruddock scored on Eddie Murphy's outfield fly. Salem bounced right back with I a three-run surge in the filth, al though Giavoninni's own error rendered the three tallies as un earned. Storey started the drive with Salem's first hit, a groind single to left. Carl Beilotti was then safe on the hurler's. bobble. , After Mel Karuse had struck out trying to sacrifice, Floyd Ogden singled to right to score Storey. ; Del Sarto then moved both Bel'l . otti and Ogden along with a bunt, and both scored when Jack Buk owatz dropped a bloo.i double in to center field. ! The Tribe picked up another run on three hits in the sixth and then put things away for keeps in the eighth. Three straight sin gles started the fire, but it was the next play that blew things up ; for fair. John Vossen grounded to Stor ey at third and in trying to nail Red Robbins at the plate Storey hit him in the back with the ball. This was tough enough, but on the next play, a Tly to Gene Tan selli in riqht, Will Hafey was ob viously thrown out at the dish after the catch. Piatt limp Fulk said no, however, and when peace was again restored three enemy runs were in and Storey was out. Fulk ejected him for squawking over the fact that Hafey had ac tually run out of the baseline to avoid Catcher Ogden's tag. Dean's single later scored the fourth Tribe run. Larry Borst had relieved Del Sarto in the midst of the rally and finally ot the side out. Touched for only four hits through seven innings, and all of those in the three-run fifth, Gia vononni yielded two more singles for the final Salem run in the eighth. Bob Kellogg got one, mov ed up on an infield out and scor- rf whpn Harrv Warner ant th "other.

Portland Club Again Topped Seals Snare Seventh Straight on 4-1 Win SAN FRANCISCO UTi The red hot San Francisco Seals won their seventh straight game breaking a team record going back to 1949 and topping Portland, 4-1, in Tuesday night's only Pacific Coast League game. Seal pitcher Ed Chandler allowed Portland only two hits. San Fran cisco pitchers have allowed only II hits in the last 39 innings and only two runs in that time. Portland got its only run in the sixth when Frankie Austin scored. Austin and Don Eggert had walked and Eddie Basinski singled filling the bases. But Portland threw it away when Walt Judnich hit into a double play. That brought Austin home but re tired the Beavers. The Seals who have a habit of coming from behind pulled ahead in the seventh inning with three runs. Ted Beard opened with a single and advanced to second on an er ror. Bob DiPietro hit a double and scored Beard. Two More Added Jim Westlake hit another double and scored DiPietro. Westlake scored on catcher Mike Donahue's fly to right field. The Seals put Portland out one-two-three in the top of the eighth as they had been doing almost all through the game. Reno Cheso came up to stretch a triple out of a long line drive by speedy run ning. Sal Taormina hit a long fly to right field. Walt Judnich jumped for the ball and caught it only five feet short of the fence and Cheso scored the fourth Seal run. Taormina made a racing catch in the next inning that paid the Beavers back for their fielding and brought the fans to their feet. Portland's five errors seemed to have little to do with their losing the game. All the Seals' runs were earned.

He did not say how this fits in with his plan to get out of the baseball business himself, but repeated he is as intent as ever on selling the club. "I haven't surrendered the fran chise and I don't plan to surrender it until the transfer can be made," he said. "But I do want to get out as quickly as I can." Poor attendance at the games and his own poor health were the reasons Hotchkiss gave last week for wanting t sell the club. He suffered - a serious heart attack earlier this ear. Hotchkiss expressed the opinion that community ownership of the team probably would work out the best. "When, you have, say, 30.000 people owning part of a ball club, you can be sure plenty of tbem will come out to the ball park to. "look after their business," he reasoned." "Clubs owned by individuals or groups of individuals are folding up all over- the country," he added. Over 'KitP . . . Loses Close sportswriters at ringside although Matthews finished strong and won the last round. Cockell fought at 2104: Mat thews I8OV4. It was the Britisher's second win over Matthews and kept alive his hopes for a world title bout this fall with Rocky Marciano. Referee Jack Hart awarded the decision but could not say how close he considered the battle be cause he is prohibited from reveal ing his scorecard. Hart was the only official. On the Associated Press score card, Cockell took rounds 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 and the first round was even. Matthews was scored highest on the other cantos. At the half way point, Cockell became the aggressor and began using his bulk. He threw rights which reddened the Seattle boxer's body and then back danced out of range making Matthews miss with returning rights. Rights Slow Harry Two Cockell right-crosses slowed the American but the British champion was not good enough to follow up the advantage. Late in the Tight, Cockell, bleed ing from a puffed eye and bat tered nose, looked in worse shape than the American. It appeared to the crowd of 35,000 that Matthews might come out ahead. At least three of Cockell s punch es appeared to be low. Two were right hand punches delivered by the one-time Battersea blacksmith while the referee was standing to the left of him. In the eighth Matthews threw three stiff lefts to Cockell's head. His sudden burst of punching drove his roly poly opponent back four steps. But as the American moved in Cockell swung a hard right to the body that stopped Matthews in his tracks.
