National
Fastest
Kansas Star
Said Threat
For Olympics
Long Beach, Calif. (U.R)
Lanky Wes Santee, the bean
pole from the Kansas plains,
established himself Saturday as
America's first Olympics dis
tance threat in the last decade
as he sped to the fastest record
ed 1500-meters of the year
3:49.3 in the 64th annual Na
tional AAU track champion
ships. The long-striding Santee, who
last week easily won the NCAA
5000-meter championship, just
as handily waltzed off with the
metric-mile.
And it was the feature of the
two-day track fest which served
as the last qualifying events for
the U.S. Olympic finals in the
Los Angeles Memorial coliseum
Jhext Friday and Saturday.
' Sizzling Wes' time was a half
tecond better than the winning
mark posted by Sweden's Henry
Eriksson in winning the 1948
Olympics in London.
Near U.S. Mark
It was only one-and-four-tenths
off the U.S. citizens mark estab
lished by Wisconsin's Walter
Mehl in 1940, but was a good
six-and-three-tenths seconds
slower than the world record
held by the Swedish duo, Gun
dar Haegg and Lennart Strand.
The Army's Lt. Warren
Druetzler was second, a good 40
yards back of Santee who took
charge going into the third lap

AAU Meet Features
Metric Mile of Year
Couples Knot
In Two-Ball
Two couples tied Friday with
net 37s for low honors in a mix
ed two-ball golf foursome at
Rogue Valley Country club.
They were the teams of Miles
Doran and Mrs. Arthur Peters
and Mahr Reymers and Mardi
Meyers.
A total of 28 couples started
out but 10 were forced to quit
because of the rain.
Two other couples, Parker
Woods and Mrs. L. W. Bates and
Floyd Pickell and Mrs. Leslie
Schneider were next low with
a 39.
and had a shirt-sleeved crowd
of 8,000 on its feet cheering him
home as he sprinted most of the
final quarter.
Texas Western's Javier Montez
was third while veteran Ameri
can distance star Don Gehrmann
tired badly on the final turn and
failed to finish.
Bespectacled Gehrmann quali
fied for next week's American
Olympics, however, by finishing
sixth in the 800 meters which
was won by New York's Reggie
Pearman in 1:53.5.
The 1948 Olympic 800-meter
champion Mai Whitfield skip
ped Saturday's AAU final after
winning the 400 meters shortly
after midnight Saturday morn
ing. But Marvelous Mai quali
fied for the American Olympic
800-meter finals by virtue of his
win in the event in the all-service
meet two weeks ago.
May Be Pushed
Santee may be pushed to new
heights in the U.S. Olympic fi
nale next week by Occidental's
Bob McMillen, who won the
Emory Barnes, University
of Oregon high jumper, was
the only state of Oregon ath
lete to qualify in the AAU
meet for next week's Olympic
finals in Los Angeles. Barnes
tied for second place in his
vent with a jump of 8 feet,
tVa inches.
NCAA 1500-meters last week at
Berkeley in record time of
3:50.7. Mac skipped Saturday's
1500 and placed third in the 800
meters to make the U.S. Olym
pic finals in that event too.
Leather-lunged Curtis Stone
of the New York Athletic club,
showed promise of giving Uncle
Sam another good distance man
as he scored the meet's only dou
ble winning the 500 meters to
day in 15:03.3, and the 10,000
meters last night.
So keen was the fight for in
vitations to next week's Olym
pics finals, that 36 men cleared
6 feet 2 inches in the high jump
and 15 men went over the pole
vault bar at 13 feet 6 inches. Six
slightered over 14 feet.
The Vaulting Vicar, Bob Rich
ards, and Don Laz, Illinois AC,
shared first in the event, clear
ing 14 feet, 8 inches. Both bare
ly missed at 15 feet, 2 inches.
Walter Davis, of the Univer
sity of Texas, leaped 6 feet, 10 14
inches for a new AAU record,
bettering the old mark of 6 feet,
9 inches set by Bill Stewart
of Southern California AA in
1941, and Les Steers of the Uni
versity of Oregon and the Olym
pic club, also in 1941.

Coast's Two Top Thoroughbreds
Take Cleancut Stakes Victories
Inglewood, Calif. U.R The
two greatest thoroughbreds rac
ing in the west, Intent and A
Gleam, came through with clean
cut victories Saturday on a twin
stakes program at Hollywood
park.
For A Gleam, the brilliant
Calumet filly, it was her fourth
straight stakes win as she raced
to a two-length victory in the
mile and a sixteenth Cinema
handicap. Intent, making his
first start of the meeting, scored
a narrower victory by a half
length in the Lakes and Flowers
handicap.
Running against colts and car
rying top weight of 124 pounds,
A Gleam showed her class by
lying off the pace until the
stretch and then taking the lead
easily when called on by Jockey
Henry Moreno to defeat the fast-
Stars Cling
To PCL Lead
San Diego, Calif. (U.R) The
Hollywood Stars clouted the San
Diego Padres, 10 to 5 .Saturday
to move a full game ahead of
the second-place Padres in Pa
cific Coast league standings.
Neither pitcher went the full
route, although bonus baby Paul
Pettit received credit for the
Stars' win. Jack Salveson re
tired in the fifth, when the
Twinks scored four times.
Hollywood scored two runs In
the first on Tom Saffell's home
run after Carlos Berniei's single,
and the Padres picked up one in
the second when Bernier drop
ped Jack Graham's fly for a
three- base error and Lou String
er singled him home.
The Stars went to work in
the fifth, knocking Salveson
from the box. Dick Cole and
Pettit hit successive singles. Lou
Klein dropped the ball after get
ting Pettit at second on Bernier's
force-out, and Cole scored. Mon
ty Basgall's single brought Ber
nier home.
After Saffell walked, Ted
Beard's triple scored him and
Basgall.
A fracas was headed off when
both teams kept Klein and Pet
tit apart after Pettit's running
into the infielder caused him to
drop the ball.

while the pace-setting Horse-
tradered was third. A Gleam
raced the mile and a sixteenth in
the good time for three-year-olds
of 1:42.45.
In the $22,500 Lakes and Flow
ers handicap, Intent, the nation's
leading money-winner in the
handicap ranks, lay off the pace
until the stretch and then in one
quick move circled the field to
win by a, half length. Admiral
Drake, the pace-setter, lasted for
second and Last Round was third
while the favored Miche finished
last In the five-horse field.
Because he is not known best
as a sprinter, Intent got away
at odds of three to one but the
four-year-old demonstrated his
fitness by racing the seven fur

a second off the track record.
Curfew Stops
Browns, Solons
After 18 Innings
By UNITED PRESS
Baseball's newest curfew law
came in for a howl of protest
from weary but still enthusias
tic St. Louis Brownie fans, who
were deprived of sitting in on
a history-making event when an
18-inning battle with the Sen
ators was called a 5-5 tie at 1:04
Saturday morning.
The finish provided nothing
but frustration and the game
will have to be played in its en
tirety since the league rule on
games suspended by a curfew,
throws out all extra - inning
battles.
Longest Night Tie
The game did wind up as the
longest tie-battle in night game
history in the majors. But prov
ed nothing else, except that
whenever the Browns and Sen.
ators get together this year,
things are likely to be tedious.
The rules provide that no in
ning can start after 12:50 a. m.
local time and the Brownies
wound up their 18th time at
bat at 1:04.
