SIX MTDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE MESfOH)JTRIBUrfI Three U.S. Entries in Hammer Throw Finals Helsinki (U.R) Harri son Dillard of Cleveland erased hit humiliation of 1948 with one meteroric iwoop Thursday when he won the Olympic 110-meter high hur dles championship for Uncle Sam's 14th gold medal of the games. Dillard set a new record of 13.7 seconds, breaking the old mark by two-tenths of a sec ond. He had tied the old rec ord Wednesday. Jack Davis, who finished second, also was clocked in 13.7. The U. S. made a 1-2-3 sweep in the hurdles. Helsinki (U.R) Three Am ericans qualified easily for the finals of the Olympic hammer throwing competition Thursday as Jozsef Czermak of Hungary set a new Olympic record with a toss of 187 feet, 8.04 inches in the preliminary trials. Sam Felton, Martin Engel and Bob Backus, all of New York, had little trouble in exceeding the qualifying requirement of 49 meters 160 feet, 9.24 inches as the sixth day of the games got underway in chilly weather at Olympic Stadium. Russian Gymnasts Win While the hammer throwing trials were being held, Russia widened its lead in the unoffi cial team standings by winning the women's gymnastics nine exercise team competition for its ninth gold medal of the games. The Soviets also picked up a second place in the women's rhythmic exercise gymnastics with portable apparatus, finish ing behind Sweden. Promoter Faces Financial Flop In Monday Bout New York (U.R) Jack Hur ley, manager of Harry (Kid) Matthews, raised his voice again Thursday in a desperate effort to prevent Monday night's fight with Rocky Marciano from be ing a financial flopperoo. Hurley asked Chairman Bob Christenberry of the New York Boxing Commission to order that the 10-round heavyweight challengers' fight be conducted on a championship basis. Pilot Hurley asked that the rule requiring an eight-count for a knockdown be waived for the night, and likewise the rule re quiring defeat on a technical knockout for a boxer floored three times in one round. "Since these men are fighting for the right to meet Jersey Joe Walcott for the heavyweight title in September, let them fight on a championship basis," Hur ley asked Christenberry at the Catholic Youth Gymnasium where Matthews sparred with Keene Simmons. Sport Parade Helsinki U.R) It's D-Day in Room 1104 at the American Building in the sprawling Olym pic village. The "D" stands for "Davis first name Jack, 6-3, 170 pounds and a hopeful candidate for 110' meter hurdles honors. Four husky young Americans are in Room 1104, a Spartan white-painted cubicle which holds four iron bedsteads. Three of Jhem have won first-place gold medals in the current Olympics, and established records in the panting process. O'Brien Surprises Monday, out of that room marched a towering 220-pounder named Parry O'Brien to score a surprise victory in the shot put. The midget of the room at six feet, two inches, OBnen heaved the lead ball better than 57 feet for his title and his Olym pic record. Feed Prices Are Dropping!

The Soviets had only a slim lead at the start nf Thursday's events. With 20514 points to 202 for the U.S They were expected to pick a huge bundle of points in wo men's gymnastics. In the 10,000-meter walk, Bruno Junk of Russia won the heat in a fast clocking of 45 minutes, 5.8 seconds. Junk's time first was announced to the press as a new Olympic mark, but a re-check of the, records showed that John Mikaelsson of Sweden covered the distance in 45:03.0 in the 1948 games. Mikaelsson was second to Junk today with a 45:10.0 clocking. Aleksandra Chudina, Russian women's javelin thrower, set the day's secpnd new Olympic record when she tossed the spear 46.17 meters 151 feet, 5.76 inches in the qualifying trials. Miss Chudina's feat broke the old mark of 149 feet, 6.12 inches set by Herma Bauma of Austria in the 1948 games.

Wenatchee 2 By OSCAR FRALEY United Prei Sports Writer Tuesday, from that same en closure where the four have shared their hones and fears. the biggest man of the quartet amoied out to triumph. He was six-foot, six-inch Sim Iness. Again it was an upset as the 250-pound-er outsteadied the best the world could offer to win the discus throw with a heave of better than 180 feet. Again it was a record for Room 1104. Then Wednesday, they sent forth a fellow named Cy Young, neither their biggest at six, three nor their heaviest, but he proved he was big enough. Faced Toughest Task You might say that of the four, Cy faced the toughest task. For no American ever had won the javelin toss in the long his tory of the games. And nobody gave Cy, a California walnut farmer, much of a chance to be the first to do it. Nobody, that is, except the guys in 1104. They cheered wildly as Cy hurled the javelin over 242 feet to break both the Scandinavian domination of this event and the Olympic record . by more than 34 feet. Today there was one of their number still awaiting his big test. You might have thoueht that none of them had won, for a few weeks of living together had made it all-for-one and one-for-all.- So all of them were tense and tight with the jitters as Davis readied for his test. And it was a his one beeansp he must also beat a favorite, in this case a fellow American named Harrison Dillard. a slen-! der speedster universally ac cepted as one of the greatest hurdlers of all time.

The Studs are now even with the Coos Bay-North Bend nine in league standing on a won-lost basis and are only eight percent age points behind the coast nine. Karpel will be making his first Medford start for the Studs since joining the club earlier this sea son. The stylish pitcher is a vet eran of Pacific Coast league play with Hollywood and Seattle and was on the New York Yankee mound staff before coming down to the coast. The big lefthander features good control along with a knuckle ball that has "lots of stuff on it." Also making his first start be fore a home crowd in a league game will be outfielder Don Fawcett. Fawcett, a local product, joined the team recently after the end of the school term at the Kansas City, Mo., medical school which he attends. Faw cett got off to a good start with the Studs last week as he banged out seven for nine against Rose burg and showed up well afield. The entire Medford team is starting to rap out long hits. They have collected nine dou bles, two triples and a home run in their last three contests. Ready in relief, should Karpel or Gehrmann need help, will be Marty Hume and Clarence Mell bye, both of whom have shown to advantage in recent compe tition. Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet. G.B.

Portlanders -Shooting for 1st Division San Francisco (U.R) Be cause fellows like Joe Brovia, Don Eggert and Jim Russell have been hitting baseballs where the opposition wasn't, Portland is proving a mild sur prise in the Pacific Coast league flag race. The Beavers aren't considered pennant material. But the Clay Hopper-led men have an exceL lent chance to finish in the first division. ' Portland in Win Streak Portland, now tied with Los Angeles for fifth place, won seven of nine games from the Angels in a series last week. And the Beavers took their sec ond in a row Wednesday night over fading San Diego. Eggert, an improved third baseman who can hit the long ball, cuffed out three blows and batted in two runs in Portland s 5-3 win from the Pads. Russell, who had four hits Tuesday night, got two more last eve. Brovia, the lumbering outfielder with the low pants but high batting average, had a mild night. He collected one safety in two trips. Lindell Gets Win In other games, Johnny Lin dell pitched a four-hitter for his 16th victory in 21 decisions as Hollywood got by Sacramento, 3-1; San Francisco scored five times after two were out in the seventh to down Oakland, 9-5, and Seattle nipped Los Angeles, 6-5, on Rosco Krsnich's two tally homer. Portland clubbed San Diego's ace, Willie Luna, for 12 blows. Jack MaGuire helped the Bevo mainstays with three of the 12, including a double, and batted in two runs.. One of Eg- gert's drives was good for three bases. SEALS LINGER TOO LONG Fort Worth, Tex.

STlLLBROvf STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 86 Proof Three Junior Setting Victorious Pace By UNITED PRESS This is streak week in the American league for three hot ball clubs, the Athletics, Sena tors and Red Sox, and it could mean trouble for the pace-setting Yankees. No one has yet managed to bring down a thunder-jet with a bean-bag and maybe none of these clubs' have ammunition to shoot the high-flying world champions out of the sky but they're at least aiming in the right direction. A's Troublesome Surprisingly, the Athletics might be the biggest trouble makers of all. Still in sixth place 11 games out of the lead, they're flexing their muscles as they did last season when they play ed the best ball of any club in the league for the final six weeks. They have won four in a row and eight out of 10 and are get ting some pitching to go along with the incomparable artistry of Bobby Shantz. Wednesday night the A's handed the Browns their seventh straight defeat as Bob Hooper improved his rating by gaining a relief victory as an aide to Alex Kell ner. Together they yielded four hits, three singles by Al Zar illa and a two-run homer by Jim Dyck. Hooper took over after Kell ner went out for a pinch-hitter in the seventh and yielded only a hit to Zarilla the rest of the way to gain his fifth win. Red Sox Hot The Red Sox made it three in a row and 12 out of 14 by topping the White Sox 10 to 4 with seven runs in the ninth, and the Senators made it nine out of 11 victories with a 5 to 2 marathon victory in 16 innings over the Tigers at Detroit. The Yankees, hot enough themselves, with seven wins in the last 10, were cooled off at Portland Pro Tops Golfers Sioux City, Iowa. (U.R) Big j name professionals eased their way around the Elmwood golf course Thursday in the initial round of the 2-hole $15,000 Sioux City open golf tournament. Al Zimmerman, Portland, Ore., pro, set the pace Wednesday when he clicked off an 8-under-per 64 in a pro-amateur warm up event. Other golfing experts from far and wide, including Henry Ransom, Gib Sellers, Jim Tur- nesa and Ralph Lommela-each of whom carded 67's in the warm up-also were tearing the course apart. Buck White, the 1951 winner, was slated to defend his crown. The champ of two years ago, Jack Burke Jr., hoped to re-J cover it. Contenders will shoot 18 holes per day until Sunday's finale. The entry list totaled 118, in cluding 29 amateurs. 117 S. CENTRAL Saran "READY-MADES" WERE 28.95 Sale price 22.88 2 or 4-doot stdant Wards Best Quality.

In the National league, the Dodgers came to the end of a nine-game streak when the Reds topped them 6 to 4 while the Phils moved above the .500 per centage mark for the first time this season with a 4 to 1 win over Pittsburgh. The Cubs top ped the Braves 6 to 2 to stay a game ahead of the challeng ing Phillies in fourth place. Russ Squad Keeps Lead In Olympics Helsinki (U.R) Russia, mystery power of the 1952 Olym pic games, was out in front in the face for the unofficial team championship Thursday and the Western world wonder ed if the Soviets can hold the lead to the finish. The Russians are very much unknown quantities in just about every sport, and so their overall strength is virtually impossible to estimate. Russians Strong The Western world had to ad mit today that the Russians have shown strong to this point. with the help of a barrelful of points scored in gymnastics. Go ing into Thursday's events, the Soviets led with 205VS points to 202 for the United States. Immediately in prospect was a huge total of points in women's gymnastics, not yet concluded, which would boost the lead. Their showing in gymnast ics was expected, but they've not lived up to expectations in track and field and soccer. On the other hand, they showed very well in rowing with two gold medals and in free style wrestling with two more. US Expects Points The Russians swimmers were not expected to come anywhere near matching the United States' point production in that sport and there are many points to be garnered there in both swim ming and diving. Nor is the Russian basketball team expect ed to be a serious threat to the mighty U. S. five. Russian boxers might prove surprisingly strong, observers believe, but that's a sport where the U. S. usually picks up sev eral points. Weak in Distances Remaining track events are expected to see Russians scoring some points in long-distance races, where Americans don't rate, but the U. S. still has hopes for MarWhitfield in the 400 meter run, for Bob Mathias and his mates in the decathlon, plus the many relays. The United States remains the favorite for the team title. But the Yanks will have to roll up points in remaining sports, especially swimming, to win out. Auto Seat Covers Cut Priced for Installation Well Dick Leibbrand Receives Award Washington, D.
