E. Noli, 1316 Reedy Ave., Salem. Noll had his black Labrador retriever, Marion's Paddy, entered in the Derby Stakes at the W.V.R.C. picnic trial yesterday near Albany. It was one of the toughest tests we've ever seen pulled on Derby dogs and only three dog out of seventeen completed the three series. With a handful of dogs remaining to run after Noll's dog had completed, he had to leave for home where he was expecting guests from out of town We told him we would bring the news .when we came home and Noll left figuring he might be lucky and pull down a second or third. After the dogs fell by the wayside one by one and the final score was listed, W. E. Noll and his dog "Paddy" garnered the blue ribbon for first place.

It was the old sockeroo, the four base wallop, as the Yankees i slapped down the Chicago White I Sox 7-1 and 5-2 in a doubleheader. The windy city crew had taken over the league lead with victories in the first two games of the series Friday and Saturday. After lefty Ed Lopat scattered seven Sox hits in the bpener, Gil McDougald and Mickey Mantle hoisted homers into the lower right field seats to break a 2-2 deadlock in the seventh inning of the night cap. McDougald's roundtripper, his seventh, came off Jack Harshman, who retired when the next man up Hank Bauer tripled. Sandy Consuegra took over on the mound, and Mantle delighted the 40,060 customers with his 16th home run that scored Bauer ahead o? him. Gets Fourth Victory Jim Konstanty, who relieved Johnny Kucks m the Sox seventh when Chicago knotted the score, was credited with his fourth vic tory. Elston Howard cracked his fourth homer into the lower leftfield stands in the second inning of the opener after Bill Skowron's dou ble. In the sixth, Skowron play ing his first game at first base in two weeks hit his seventh homer into the rightcenterfield bleachers. The twin win moved the Yanks two games ahead of the Sox, and four in front of the third-place Indians, who were Chisox Twice : 1 ' I PWMMI MM I Statesman, Salem, Ore., Monday, June 20, 1955 (Sec. 2) 1 Fleck Sinks Crucial Putt "VP Hogan Loses In Playoffs Decision to Retire Announced by Hogan By WILL GRIMSLEY SAN FRANCISCO W Jack Fleck, an 'obscure young profes sional from the Iowa corn belt, crushed Ben Hogan's bid for a fifth National Open golf champion ship Sunday, and the m l g h t y Hogan announced: "I am through, I'll never play any more serious competitive golf."

Fleck went on Sunday to shoot a one-ander-par 69 to defeat Hogan in the play off. Hogan shot a 72. (AP Wirephoto.) Olympic Club course. I Hogan finished tragically three i strokes back at 72, taking a har rowing double bogey six on the 72nd hole. The two tied for the championship Saturday with 287. Hogaa Near Tears After his defeat, Hogan, choked and almost in tears, told the crowd gathered at the presentation cere monies: "It's too hard to train for a big tournament. I want to become a week-end golfer. When I play. It'll be for fun." The hollow-cheeked Fleck be came the darkest dark horse to win this blue ribbon event sine Sam Pares' stunning upset at Oak mont, Pa., exactly 20 years ago. Hogan, never ahead and three down at one stage, bowed out of bigtima golf in a heart-breaking fashion. Hogan, needing just one stroke to catch up, hooked his tee shot on the 337-yard valley 18th and the ball landed-in the six-inch rough a tough. . sinewy rye which has penalized . golfers throughout the tournament. Both Swings Miss There Hogan took one tremen dous swoop at the 'ball with his wedge. It moved only a foot. He swung again. The ball moved no more than three feet and stayed in the hay. On his third try Hogan blasted -the ball out into the fairway and then sent a high pitch to the green.

Revenge Gained Thus in sweeping the three-game series with the Lumberjacks, the Senators more than made up for the humiliating 19-3 plastering they took at Coos Bay last year. Curley Leininger's semipro power house had come to town with but one loss on its record this semes ter, that to the Tri-City Braves. Sunday's nightcap was won when young Jack Henkle, the former Eugene High whiz - who hurled freshman ball at Oregon State this pring, walked Ron King with the bases loaded. It was a nasty cli max for Henkle, as he had blanked the Salems masterfully through eight innings and would have prized a shutout of the profes sionals among his top athletic treasurers. Steinagel Starts It He had one out when Jack Steinagel grounded a single to left, only the fourth bmgle off the husky kid. Bill Shields as next up bunted for another hit and the runners got to second and third when Gordy Hersey threw badly to first trying to get Shields. Don Frailey as next up was pur posely passed and Harv Koepf pepped out for the second out. Henkle then pitched high on a 3-2 serve to King and the long game was over. King hurled the distance for the Salems, yielding five hits also. His effort was also a real sparkler, and he had but one troublesome inning, the visitors' ninth. A fast dcuble play hauled him out of a bases-loaded situation here. Jack, Tommy Homer Steinagel and Tommy Agosta smashed home runs over the left field fence in the free-scoring first game, Steinagel's coming in the 5-run third inning with Floyd Rob inson aboard, and Agosta's com ( Continued on next page.) headers between Kansas City and the Senators at Washington and Detroit and the Orioles at Baltimore.

Broncs Trip Braves, 5-3 Hogan Disappointed, Fleck Calm After Playoff in Open KENNEWICK W The Lewiston Broncs only got three hits Sunday night, but they still managed to defeat the Tri-City Braves. 5-3, in a Northwest League baseball game. Lewiston profited by 10 bases on balls, three hit batters, four sacri-i fice hits and two errors. Joe Riney's two-run double in the fifth which brought two Lewis ton runs was the heaviest hit. The teams split the four-game series, 2-2. The Spokane Indians rallied in the bottom of the ninth to tie up the score and then went on to defeat Wenatchee, 9-8, in the 10th inning.

SAN FRANCISCO tf) It was almost like a wake Sunday at one end of the crowded row of lock ers and a victory celebration at the other. Ben Hogan, the mighty little guy of golf for lo! these many years, had just los't his bid for the honor he wanted most of being the only man to win five National Open championships. ' Just a few feet on down the cor ridor of lockers was the man. Jack Fleck, a 1,000-1 underdog before the tournament started, who ended Ben's dream. No More Training "I don't really know," said Ho gan, slipping out of his wool sports shirt and into a crisp-laundered Softball Play Slated Tonite white linen. "I know this, though, about retiring. I'll never tram as! hard again as I did for this one. "This is not discouragement talk ing," he went on.' "It's too tough. I can't do it any more. I'm going to play for fun after this. I'm go ing to be a pleasure golfer. Yes, a pleasure golfer." ! ? Would this preclude his taking still another crack at title No. 5? "Not necessarily," he said with out hesitation. "But I'm not going to work so hard. I practiced hard er for this one than I did for Oak mont," he said, referring to his victory there in 1950. Almost Anti-Climax Down the aisle Fleck was sur rounded, hemmed in. Compared to Saturday night, when he tied Ho gan with a miracle putt for a birdie oa the 72nd hole, this was an anti climax for the now popular Iowan. He plans to fly to his home in Davenport Monday if he can get a plane reservation. He loaned his car to golfers driving up to Port land, Ore., for the Western Open next week.
