Two-Mile Race Thriller
Wind Slows Athletes.
Seattle, Ksy 30. IP) Never
finishing worse than third In
the 12 events in which they
scored, 'he University of South'
ern California Trojans won
their seventh consecutive Pad
fic Coast conference track and
field meet here today with 79
points.
The Trojans won five firsts
shared another, end finished
two-three in five other events.
They faued to place In the Jave
lin and discus, and didn't enter
their ace two-miler, Leroy Weed
because "we didn't need the
points, and Weed's tired. He
had alnady won the m:it.
The state of California mon
opolized the first three places
After the Trojans came Califor
nia, with 43 Vj points and Stan
ford with 25 Vi. Then followed
Washington, northern division
champion, 21 1-3; Idaho, 14V4;
Oregon State, 10 1-3; Washing
ton State and Montana, 0 apiece;
U. C. L. A., 7W. and Oregon,
S 1-3.
Only one Coast conference
record was equalled, and none
was broken.
Hal Davis, currently the
"fastest human" from the Uni
versity of California, dominated
both dashes and tied the confer
ence mark for the 100-yard dash
by hustling the distance in 0.6
to share the record set by Clyde
Jeffrey of Stanford here in 1930.
A headwind may have slowed
him up from his 0.4 pace in the
rresno relays May 16.
Davis also copped the 220,
coming in six yards ahead of
Cliff Bourland of U. S. C, In
21.6, or six-tenths of a second
off the record.
Thriller of the meet wat the
two-mile.
It was a battle between Ralph
Dewey, husky Californlan, and
gaunt Vic Dyrgall of Idaho
Dewey finally won at the tape
oy me micxness or his chest as
they both gasped across. The
time was 9:20.3, or more than
seven seconds off the record.
Dyrgall led after seven laps by
only two paces. Dewey caught
him at the end of the final turn
and they both wobbled rubber
legged neok-and-neck to the
finish.
Southern California's Cliff
Bourland won the 440 and ran
the winning leg of the mile re
lay. Then, In the relay, Bourland
overcame long In the final
stretch with a great show of
drive to finish ahead by 10
yards.
Distances In the field events
weie far short of the records,
and a headwind bothered the
runners although the track was
considered fust.
U )
Already cut up badly about the face In tha fifth round, Lou
If ova (right), the big Californlan, missed completely with a
wild right as Let Savold (left), ducked low in their fight at
Washington, D. C. Savold won in tha eighth on a technical
knockout.

New York, May 30 lP) In
the gaudiest betting day in Am
erican racing history, Lou Tuf
ano's Market Wise made his Jinx
on Whirlaway stick today.
Before the greatest crowd
ever to see a race in New York,
and on a card that saw $2,176,
071 poured into the mutuel ma
chines to shatter all marks in
the books, the 'Cinderella" of ni.nri
the race tracks won the 56th
running of the ancient suburban
handicap at Belmont Park by a
s'artling three lengths over
Whirly.
The wagering on the eight
race card wiped out the listed
United Slates high of $2.0&6 13
tossed Into the hopper on Ken
tucky Derby day In 1926. Of the
total, S385 042 was bet on the
suburban alone, a one-race high

068 Whirly carried ..n his back
for win. place and show was
mere than any one horse has
ever had on him in these parts. '

WILL FACE SNEAD
By Carle Talbot
Atlantic City. May 30 &t
ine little soldier did it; Corp
Jim Turnesa of Fort Dix, N. J.,
sixth ton of a golfing family,
defeated the great Byron Nelson
of Toledo, on the 37th hols at
the Seaview club to qualify to
meet Sammy Snead tomorrow
In tha finals for the Professional
Golfers association championship.
How tha swarthy, out-of-nrac-
tlce little fighting man did it
must remain one of the great
mysteries of the fairways. On
the 36th green Nelson, one of
the world's greatest and most
dependable players, needed to
sink only a one-foot putt to
defeat Turnesa. You could have!
nunk It nine times out of ten.
But Nelson missed.
And then, on the first extra
hole, Nelson sliced his drive out
of bounds and permitted his
tenacious rival to win the match
with a par four.
Seldom does a top-notcher
fall apart like Nelson did today.
The soldier simply didn't know
when he was licked, lie was
three down after the morning
18 and still one down starting
the final nine. With two holes
to go he was two down. Yet he
won both and went on to vic
tory. The match was all over to all
intents and purposes. Nelson,
from about 20 feet, hud laid his
putt ' dead," while Turnesa had
missed an hem: attempt to sink
a chip from off the green. The
crowd had given its favorite,
Turnesa, a warm round of ap
plause for the losing fight he
had made. And then Nelson
missed.
Chicago, May 30 VP) The

NO MEMORIAL DAY
AUTO SPEED RACE
Indianapolis, May 30 P)
At the stroke of 10 a. m. today
33 of the world's fastest race
cars roared oopps! that's not
the story from Indianapolis to
day.
TV.ls is 1942 a war year
and the story is that there is
no 500-mile automobile race at
the speedway.
For the first time In 24 years
Indianapolis enjoyed a quiet
Memorial day. And automobile
race fans only could talk about
how Mauri Rose came from far
behind to win last year's race.
Or perhaps for the old-timers
how Ralph DePalmas car
stalled less than two laps short
of victory in 1912.
It could be a "battle of drop
kicks," this main event grapple
embroglio in the armory Mon
day night between Sockeye Jack
McDonald and Jumpin' Joe
Savoldi, the master of them all
at the fine art of knocking a
guys head off with your feet
Everybody knows what Sav
oldi can do when he starts fir
ing, for ha la untqualed in this
respect. But generally, over
looked Is tha fact that McDon
ald, himself, is better than a
fair hand at propelling himself
through tha ozone, tootles first,
and leveling unhappy opponents
with a single shot.
Of course McDonald does not
place as much reliance on the
dropklck as does Savoldi. It
isn't even his most potent at
tacking weapon, like it is Sav
oidl's. And although he has
taken many falls with the man
euver, his record along these
lines c.il't compare with Sav
oldi's. However, McDonald on occa
sions has displayed a dropkick
only a little less potent than
Savoldi'a best, and it is entirely
within the realm of possibility
that Sockeye, always an opti
mist, will go out there and gam
ble on trading double-leg wal
lops with the ex-Notre Dame
grid star. If this occurs the
customers can be assured of see
ing wrestlers splattered all over
the ring.
George Craig, a big favorite
here some six years ago, will
return to face lariat-spinning
cowboy Duke Chick in the six
round middle event The for
mer Tulsa, Okie., blacksmith
who Is following the trade at
Camp White at the present time
looks in great shape for the tus
sle and probably Is. He says
he has been running a mile
every day.
In the opening main event
Chief Thunderblrd, Vancouver.
B. C. Indian, will tangle with
Joe Corbett of Australia, the fel
low who gave Savoldi such a
tough time of it on last week's
program. They'll go four six
minute rounds or two out of
three falls.
Tex Climer. another Camp
White worker and Norval Stock-
stir, of Talent will open the
card at 8:30 in a special match
of two five-minute rounds or
one fall.
George (Mickey) Shader, scout
for the Cincinnati Reds, arrived
in Medford with Mrs. Shader
Saturday to make arrangements
for the annual Cincinnati try out
camp for young baseball players
to be staged at the high school
park Wednesday through Sun
day of this week. ,
Shader emphasized that all
players between 17 and 21 years
of age were cordially invited to
enroll in the free camp, regard
less of whether they have filled
In an enrollment blank. Play
ers must furnish only their own
gloves, shoes and uniform; the
Reds will provide other equip
ment, he said.
Camp sessions, he stated, will
be from 10 a. m. to about 1 p.
m every day of the five-day
camp, during whicr time reg
ular nine-Inning games will be
played and every youngster will
be given an opportunity to show
his wares. Those displaying
enough class will be tendered
contracts wlti one of the Cin
cinnati farm teams. Mr. and Mrs.

Washington, May 30 VP)
The army has about decided it's
time Private Joe Louis Barrow
learned to fight more effective
ly with rifle and bayonet as well
as with his renowned fists.
The heavyweight champion
probably soon will be ordered
transferred to a replacement
training center or to some other
cost to complete his basic mili
tary training, it was learned au
thoritatively. And at least until this military
training is completed, there
would be no ring appearances
for any purposes but the army.
The effect of the decision Is
to rule out the plea by Promoter
Mike Jacobs that the brown
bomber be permitted to make a
commercial appearance to raise
money to. meet a SI 17.000 in
come tax payment due June IS.
In the approximately four
months Louis has been officially
enrolled as Private Barrow, he
has fallen far behind the mili
tary progress made by others
who were inducted about the
same time. They were given a
routine but stiff course of basic
training at replacement centers
lasting 13 weeks.
