Bottler Winning
Hurler as Tyees
Take Twin Bill
By UNITED PRESS
The Vancouver juggernaut
was stalled in its drive toward
the top of the Western Interna
tional League Thursday night,
but the Victoria express rolled
merrily along.
The islanders increased their
lead to 13 games by taking two
from Spokane, 5-4 and 5-3. Lew
iston rose up to sweep Vancouv
er, 6-1 and 5-3. In single games,
Wenatchee beat Tri-City, 12-7,
and Salem edged Yakima, 8-7.
The rampaging Tyees jumped
off with four runs in the third
inning of the opener but Spo
kane came back to tie it in the
ninth. Victoria won it in its
half of the ninth when Lou
Branham singled and scored on
Manager Cece Garriott's single.
In the windup, Bill Bottler
pitched three-hit ball to his
brother Ron behind the plate.
Both are on option from Port
land. The Tyees made good use
of 13 bases on balls issued by
Indian hurlers.

To Study Rules
Portland (U.PJ The Oregon
State Game Commission opened
a two-day session Friday for
final ratification of its tentative
1952 hunting regulations adopt
ed earlier this month.
One plan subject to considera
tion is one which would open
the entire Deschutes game re
fuge to hunting this fall. The
large refuge in the Paulina
mountains south of Bend was
established in 1913 and commis
sion experts have reported
heavy increases in the number
of deer in the protected area
with a resulting decrease of
available growse.
The commission was consider
ing an open season on bucks
only, claiming that a surplus
would iustify the "harvest" of
some of them.

Helsinki (U.PJ The ambi
tion born 16 years ago in the
heart of an awed adolescent paid
off Friday for a man who never
quit when faced with frustra
tion. That is the success saga of
slender Harrison Dillard. And
his victory in the Olympic 110
meter hurdles marked the end
of a dedicated journey far long
er than the distance between his
native Cleveland, Ohio, and the
winners' tribune in Helsinki's
sprawling stadium.
Trip Started in 1936
For this was a troublous trip
which started in 1936 and wend
ed its anxious way through the
perils of war in Italy, heart
break in London and four fran
tic years of added waiting.
It all started for Dillard the
day 16 years ago when the great
Jesse Owens went back to
Cleveland after his triumphs in
the international games at Ber
lin.
"I was 12 years old at the
time," Dillard recalled as he
clutched that long-coveted gold
medal in one hand and the win
ner's bunch of red and white
carnations in the other. "They
held a big parade for Jesse and
was sitting on a curbstone
when he went by.
"He was sitting in a big black
car," Harrison recalled, a smile
on his face but a faraway look
in his eyes. "He was wearing a
black pin stripe suit. Jesse was
waving at everybody and they
were pretty wild over it all.
Made Up Mind
"That was when I made up
my mind to come to the Olymp
ics," Dillard said.
In the days that followed, Dil
lard went back to his classroom
at East Tech High School the
same school from which Owens
had gone forth just a few years
before and concentrated hard
er than ever on his studies. He
wanted nothing to bar him from
track competition.
As the years passed, Dillard's
fame began to spread. The skin
ny kid filled out into a young
man with lean, ropy muscles
and long legs which swept him
swiftly over the hurdles.
That's when he took his first
detour around his desires. For
there was a war. And young Dil
lard went into the Army for 32
months. His "hitch" included 16
months as an infantryman in
Italy.
Failed in Hurdles
Back again, he picked up
where he left off as a budding
national track figure at Baldwin-Wallace
College. Soon he
was regarded as the peer of the
world's hurdlers. But he failed
to qualify for the 1948 Olympic
trials in his specialty. In desper
ation, he tried out for the 100
meter dash, made the squad
and was a surprise winner of the
sprint at London.
He explained, "I wanted the
hurdles championship on which
I had set my heart so long ago."
The four-year interim passed
slowly. Dillard is 29 now, an age
of decision for athletes. And he
knew it was now or never as far
as the Olympics were concerned
Admitting that he had lost some
of his "sheer speed" since the
London games, he said:
"I figured that by the time
I'm 33 four years from now
I'd have enough of this," he
said. "And I figured I could
win."
Got New Record
He got the start he wanted
and a new Olympic record of
13.7 stands.
So Harrison Dillard is a satis
fied man as he gets ready to go
back to Cleveland. There will
probably be a parade in his hon
or. And it wouldn't be a surprise
if he wore a black pin-striped
suit.
it would start all over again
with another youngster sitting
on the curb watching him go by
But the kid will need plenty of
what Harrison Dillard had.
