Corvallis, Jon 21 ( There were raised eyebrows at Dearer 1 when Grade Demote won qoall ! fylng honor at the Westera ,ppn toarnament, bat la Corval Jls there were just knowing ' smiles. The 22-year old Gracie, pride of the Corvallis Country Club and the greatest golfer, man or woman, ever to come out of this city, has been winning so often lately, this is almost taken for granted. Bat being medalist la the Women's Opea is still the greatest of her accomplish 1 meats, for It's the biggest U.S. ' tournament she has catered, although last year she woa the Canadian women's title. Miss Demoss surprise topping of professionals as well as a top field of amateurs at Denver isn't an accident; it came from hard work. This is to be her big year. Usually she has attended Ore gon State college two terms a year and golfed in the spring, ! but this year she golfed in the winter, too, in preparation for ' this summer's activity ...Her father, Ray Demoss,. .vice president of the Corvallis. .Country Club, and her coach,. .Al Zimmerman, Portland pro,. , .think she's ready for the big. .time. She has had that aim. .since she first swung a club, .here with her dad, her great-. .est fan, who flew from here to. ' .Denver to watch her play.. .Maybe ahe already has proved. . .she's ready. When she's at. .home, you can see her almost, .every day practicing, practic-. lng. She can beat virtually. .every male hereabouts. Last year the Canadian title , was tops in a long list of win nings. She will defend that title In Montreal later this year, j This season she has come fast. After winning some minor ' tournaments, she received , plenty of publicity by finishing one stroke behind Babe Zahar I las In the first round of play In the Weathervane tournament, l then skipped the rest of that i tourney to prepare for the Trans j Mississippi event at Dallas, Tex. She reached the finals there be fore losing. Win, lose or draw at Den ver, Miss Demoss will head back home for the Northwest Open and the Oregon State tournament, and later she plans to take her first crack at the National Open. She hits a long ball, her close in game is uniformly good and she's a cool competitor. Corvallis likes her personal lyhas ever since she was a plr-tailed kid a ad the Chamber of Commerce pub licity committee loves her.

The six-foot, 145-pound long distance runner currently is training for a crack at the na tional marathon this fall and the Olympic games marathon in 1952.) By MAINHARDT BREDT (Aa TOM la TJnttaa rraal Olympia. June 21 U The western hemisphere marathon was run on a nice, well-laid out course, but it was run at the wrong time of year. Usually marathons are run during the cooler spring or autumn seasons. The race started about 11 a. m. and I'd say the temperature was about 75 degrees. Before the race, a lot of fellows lust stood around with their shoes in their hands, trying to make up their minds whether or not to run. Only IB of us entered, and the rest figured on a day like that the race would give them too much of a beating! South Commercials Win Tie Breaker Softie Game i ' South Commercial Business- J men topped the 12th Street i Merchants 7-1 Tuesday night as J th pair made up for a tie con i test earlier in the season In 1 City Softball competition. Leon Michenham pitched the win aft er making his first start of the season. The Commercial club scored five runs in the second with Howard Schlag's triple driving in three tallies. Wisconsin Speed Star Ends Career Madison, Wis., June 21 Wisconsin's great distance run ner Don Gehrmann c 1 o s e d his collegiate career in an am axing burst of speed, even though his Big Ten teammates lost as ex pected in the 10th annual Big Tcn-P a c I f I c Coast conference track meet. The talented west coast team scrambled to a 69 to 62 win for its sixth triumph In the inter conference spectacle last night The slender Badger runner, slated to compete in three events. won both the mile and half mile and he ran a stupendous third lap on the western conference mile relay team to give Wiscon sin's Leroy Collins an anchor lead he held with ease.

They were right. I ran my first 10 miles only 30 seconds off the 10-mile-an- hour pace I had planned. But when I hit the 15-mile mark the heat began to catch me, and I lelt nauseated. My feet were burning up, and I knew I could- n t hold that pace any longer. Between the 15th and 20th mile I cut my pace, but still was only about three minutes behind the time I had planned. Those last six miles were the toughest and it was all I could do to get home during the last three. The whole race after the 15th mile was just a matter of stick ing it out and finishing. I knew when I was half a mile ahead of the first man behind me at the 20th mile that I had the race won. I also knew I wouldn't be breaking any records that day, so I just coasted in, and was lucky to do that My time of a little more than three hours was the slowest I've ever run a marathon. Usually a marathon takes about three and a half pounds off me. I lost eight in this one. Before the race I weighed In at 148 pounds. After the race I weighed 138 4. When you lose eight pounds three hours, it takes every thing out of you. You need moisture in your body to retain your strength. When that mois ture goes, your strength goes. It's going to take a few days to get back in shape and start training for my next race. If I can get a local sponsor, I want to run in a 10-miler at Glendale. July 4th. That would be a good speed trial lor the 30-kilometers national championship coming up in San Francisco this August. Thirty kilometers is about 18 miles and that also will be a good speed workout to train me for the national marathon in the east this fall.
