Salem, Qrggon, Friday, May 3, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Section 2 Pajre f Gates Threatens To Take Scott's Dash Title Away By BUB KUBINSON - c ... , CaPital Journal Sports Writer i 5 .u e.m!S Jack Scott for some "me now has been conceded the title of "Fastest Man in the Willamette Valley." He is now having his claim disputed. In the Saxons' dual meet victory over Eugene last Friday Scott met his match. He finished behind someone for the lirst time this year in the 100-yard dash. However, the sting of defeat was less ened somewhat for rapid Jack because the fellow who administered the defeat was one of his own teammates, Bob Gates. Gates' VirtnrV eeamori miifa an uncat to some but really it wasn't. According to South Coach Lee Oustafson, Gates consistently finishes in front of Scott in prac- tfa entente r PREP PARADE tice sprints. 'Gus" added, though, that the distance between the two is never more than a few inches at the iinisn nne. "With two more like them we could break the state relay rec ord," Gustafson said. A rare accident to6k place In the dash In which Gates edged Scott. One of the South students, io was holding the finish string, .jrgot to let go when Gates hit the tape. The string left a nasty burn across Bob's neck. Gates took the mishap' in stride. A good-natured kid with a spark ling personality, this was his smil ing comment on the incident. "Do you see that fellow holding the string? He won a big scholar ship for college the other day and he still doesn't even know how to hold a string." North Salem's Grant Todd came up with a dandy pitching performance against Sweet Home the other day. He set the Huskies down on four hits In the Viks' 4-1 victory. In the process he fanned 12 bat ters, while walking only two. Todd uses the Don Larsen no windup style and according to his coach, Bill Hanauska, has in creased his control tremendously since he started using it. Hanauska said after the game that he has been real pleased with Todd's work this year. "Grant is his own worst enemy, though," Hanauska said. "He worries an awful lot about how things are going and he is the worst 'stewer' on the team. What ho needs is more confidence in himself." If Todd lacks some confidence in himself, he is the only one who is skeptical on his ability. Certain ly those who watched him toy with those Sweet Home batters the other day are real believers in his baseball talents. Incidentally, anyone driving by Barrlck Field nowadays shouldn't be alarmed if he thinks he fees the Salem Senators playing a game there. , North Salem recently purchased last year's uniforms from the Sen ators for use by its baseball team. The "new" attire was worn for the first time in the Sweet Home game. North's track team may not be the most spectacular In t h e state this spring but the Vikings have a couple performers w h o may go a long way in District 8 and stale competition this year. Two of the most likely appear to be quarter-miler Dale Drake and 8H0 man Jim Litchfield. Drake has run several fine races this year. His best 440 time in a meet is 52.5 but his coach Herb Johnsrud reports that he has toured the oval in 51.7 in practice. For a comparison the defending state champion, Leroy Poindexter of Eugene, has a best 1057 time of 53.3. Poindexter won his title last spring with a clocking of 50.9 . . . After the Eugene - South meet last Friday, Poindexter told the writer that his times haven't been too good this spring because "I haven't had any competition to push me." Litchfield doesn't have an overly impressive time in the 880 this year, his best being a 2:06.9, but the potential is there. Jim, a lanky kid with long legs, has a beautiful to watch stride which seems to carry him around the oval in a glide. In a triangu lar meet with Stayton and Serra early this week, he appeared to be on his way to a brilliant clocking. He circled the oval the first time in 61 seconds flat and seemed to be picking up the pace on the. second until he reached the final turn. The desire was there but the old muscles just didn't want to cooperate. They tightened. Even though his pace involun tarily slackened on that last 100 yards or so, his time was still the aforementioned 2:06.9, a quite respectable mark for the race. If Litchfield can put together an entire half-mile at the pace he was running before that "tie-up" he'll be tough to beat. Stayton principal and track coach Joe Boyle got more misery out of the start of fishing season than just not catching any fish. It seems that most of the boys on his cinder squad are rabid anglers and they all went out on the opening day. That was all right with Joe but what happened to them wasn't. They turned up at school Monday morning with poison oak. It may sound incredible but the attack was so complete that only two Eagle varsity trackmen didn't catch it. Those two, miler Jim Morgan and quarter-miler George Tiger, were the only Eagle com petitors against North Salem and Serra in that triangular meet here Monday afternoon. That may serve as an explana tion to many fans who are won dering why Stayton scored only points in the meet. RELAYS CANCELLED The Junior High City Relays, ohcduled Thursday, were can celled as a result of rain. The lour track squads return to dual jnet action next week. tg'ij' JIM LITCHFIELD Vikings' 880 Prospect Molalla Stops Central, Dallas In Track Meet MONMOUTH (Special) Molalla defeated Central and Dallas in a three-way track meet here, Thurs day, with the Indians rolling up liOVi points. The Panthers trailed with 52',i, while Dallas collected 38. Vern Lovelace of Central was a triple winner for the day in the low hurdles, 220 and broad jump. Wayne Bond of the Panthers cap turned the discus and shot events, while Molalla's Hines won the 880 and mile. H. H.: 1st Kins (Ml. 2nd McClein (D), 3rd Held (M).

Ray Says One Bout, That's All Sugar Man Plans Dance Career Return CHICAGO (UP) Sugar Hay Robinson will hold his prized mid dleweight championship for only one more tight. Robinson, who gained the crown for the fourth time Wednesday with a fifth round knockout of Gene Fullmer, made it definite to day that he'll be a song and dance man on the Broadway stage next winter. "I'll defend the title against Carmen Basilio, if the terms are right," he said, "and if I win. that's my last fight. If I lose, of course. I d want to try ana get it back." But should Robinson lose, he would not be the champion going into the rematch, which lie wm demand as part of the contract for a Basilio fight, and this then would become the finale to his 17- year career in boxing. Should Robinson go through with his plans, it would be the second lime he has given up a title to a tage career. He quit the ring in 1952 after losing to Joey Maxim in a bid for the light heavyweight title, but 30 months later he re turned to boxing and in 1955 re captured the 160-pound title from Bobo Olson. Basilio, Robby To Tiff in NY, Netro Claims PORTLAND. Ore. l The pro posed Ray Robinson-Carmen Ba silio fight will be held in Yankee Stadium in New York, Joe Netro, co-manager of Basilio, predicted here Thursday night. "Robinson's awfully tough to pin down, so we don't know yet wheth er it will be in July or Septem ber. But Jim Norris is working on it now, and we should know in a week or two," said Netro. Welterweight champion Basilio and his party arrived here Thurs day night for an exhibition tour that will include non-title bouts at Medford, Ore., May 6; Port land, May 16, 'and San Francisco, May 27. Opponents have not been named. Basilio said he was confident he could defeat Robinson, who won back the middleweight crown Wednesday night by knocking out Gene Fullmer at Chicago. "I intend to lick every fighter I meet, and if I can hit a man I can hurt him. And put this down, Robinson can be hit," Basilio said. Lane Rejects Club Proposal BROOKLYN tfl Frank Lane said Friday he had rejected a pro posed deal by Chicago that would have sent club pitcher Bob Rush to the St. Louis Cardinals in ex change for an infielder and a pitcher. The St. Louis general manager declined to identify the players the Cubs wanted, but it was re liably learned that they were rookie shortstop Eddie Kasko and Bob Smith, a lefthanded relief pitcher. "We turned the deal down," Lane explained, "because we were not willing to give up the players Chicago reauested for Rush." Lane said he would like to have Rush but did not say what player, or players, he offered in return. In the Alleys fHEnnV CITY BOWL Ladies City Leasue: Marshall's Lounge 3.

Seattle Boat 4th Qualifier For Apple Cup CHELAN, Wash. m Miss Bar- dam of Seattle Thursday became the fourth boat to qualify for Sun day's Apple Cup hydroplane race on Lake Chelan. The Bardahl, piloted by Norm tvans, quaimcd with laps of 105. 102 and 84 miles per hour for a 97 mph average, just two miles per hour over the required speed. Choppy waters and engine trou bles prevented other qualifying runs. Miss Thriftway, Maverick and Hawaii Kai qualified Wednes day. The choppy water, however, did not prevent Seattle designer Ted Jones from taking the newly-constructed Miss Thriftway Too out for a test spin. "I haven't been so excited In 20 years," Jones said. "This was the greatest ride I've had in my me. I can go into the turns at 160 miles per hour and come out at 130. We will kill off all the other boats."

Machen, Joey Maxim Slate Bout Tonight LOUISVILLE, Ky. l - A change of pace in sports at least for this derby town takes place Friday night when young Eddie Machen takes on aging Joey Max im in a nationally televised heavy weight sight. , The 10-round match, first to be held on derby eve since 1940, isn't expected, however, to draw many of the thousands here for the Kentucky Derby away from their favorite topic. Machen, an undefeated 24-ycar-old, is a 3-1 choice to. stop the comeback try of Maxim. A slug ger, Machen enters the scrap with 20 straight victories, 14 by knockouts. The heavy-h i 1 1 1 n g Machen earned a unanimous decision over Maxim at Miami Jan. 25. The Oakland, Calif., fighter is rated No. 2 among the heavies. Maxim, who's listed as 35, is a former light heavyweight cham pion. The veteran from Cleveland, Miami and several other stops has been virtually idle for two years after losing the light-heavy title. His record shows 82 decisions, 21 knockouts, 4 draws and 24 de feats over a long career of 110 pro fights. Boosters Set Up Ducat Pay Plan The Salem Senator Boosters and directors, heading into high gear to sell at least $15,000 worth of season tickets, announced, Friday morning, a system whereby a pur chaser can buy his ducat on the easy payment plan. Stevens and Son Jewelers, 390 State St., will handle this phase and a person can buy a season's seat for 50 cents down and a year lo pay with no interest or service charge levied. Taxes are also available at Jay's Drive-In, where each one sold brings a steak din ner from the establishment, at Wicklund's Sporting Goods, and at the Waters Park ticket office. Season tickets are t30 for an entire family, $25 for two persons and $20 for one person. One can also buy a 16-ticket book for $10. The Boosters have set a $30,000 goal for the sale of season ducats. At present, just over $14,000 has been sold, which means that about 600 more tickets is the goal for the drive which closes June 1. The Boosters and directors have also scheduled their next meeting on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. at the Marion Hotel. Bearcats Whip LC Links Team PORTLAND (Special)-Willam- ette won its fifth straight North west Conference golf match here, Thursday, and its seventh in eight starts by stopping Lewis and Clark 10V4-7V4.

RAIN CANCELS GAME CORVALLIS (UP)-Rain Thurs day forced cancellation of the scheduled Northern Division base ball game between Oregon State and Idaho. victory over San Diego. Seattle dumped San Francisco, 8-4, in the only other game played. Rain postponed Sacra mento's tilt with Portland. Hollywood's Bennie Daniels blanked the Angels through eight innings but weakened in the ninth and filled the bases. Three runs crossed before reliefer Hugh Pep per got Wally Lammers to pup up for a third out. Start Quickly The Stars opened the first in ning with two runs off Ron No- gray on three walks and a double by R. C. Stevens. They made it 3-0 with an unearned run in the fifth and scored the winner in the seventh on singles by Carlos Ber- nier, Leo Rodriquez and Paul Pet- tit. , The 3-hour 55-minute marathon at Vancouver proved an even big ger thriller as San Diego came from a 4-0 deficit in the ninth and tied it up on two home run blasts. Dave Pope belted the first, good for three runs, and Stu Lock lin followed with another. The Mounties, who trailed the league last year and didn't rate a nod in pre-season predictions, loaded the sacks in the 12th and 14th frames, but Padre reliefer Jim (Mudcat) Grant wriggled out of the spot each time. He caught in the 16th on Jim Marshall's single, Cal Segrist's sacrifice and an intentional walk to Tito Francona and Jake Craw ford's liner to right field. Bamberger Wlm George Bamberger, fourth Mountie hurler, was the winner, blanking San Diego for five innings. At Seattle, catcher Ray Orteig sparked the Rainier's third vic tory over the San Francisco Seals in four games. In four trips, Or teig doubled twice, tripled and col lected four RBI's, scoring three himself. San Francisco, which saw its 4-0 lead nullified In the fifth in ning, loaded the sacks with one out in the ninth but couldn't score.

Zimmer Hurt, Reese Returns BROOKLYN (ffl An injury to Don Zimmer, Brooklyn s fine util ity infielder, has hastened the re turn of Capt. Pee Wee Reese to the Dodger lineup. Reese will be at his usual short stop post when the Brooks' meet the St. Louis Cardinals in Jer sey City Friday night in the final of their two-gome scries. The 37-year-old star had been out of ac tion from the start of the season with a badly sprained back. Zimmer, who had filled in so admirably for Reese, pulled a muscle in his thigh Thursday Special Match On Mat Card Wrestling n.atchmaker Elton Owen has lined up a special grudge match, Tuesday night, following regular mam event and two pre lims. The special bout, free to the public, will pit Ed Francis against Jack Bcnce, with no disqualifica tion allowed and a $200 purse at stake. The main go will pit Bill Savage and Luigi Macera, no strangers to each other's tricks. This also looms as a bitter and brutal brawl. Owen will announce later the remainder of the Tuesday card to appear at the Salem Armory. What's Going On At Second Base?
