Grants Pass
Elks Expect
More Talent
Grants Pass (Special) Man
ager Mel Ingram, like other
pilots in the Southern Oregon
Baseball League, won't have his
Grants Pass Elks team at full
strength when the semi-pro sea
son opens this week end. The
Elks play Drain on Saturday and
Sunday.
Help anticipated by Ingram in
cludes at least one pitcher and
some players from University of
Southern California.
Brad Lucas. ex-Grants Pass
high pitcher, probably will be
moundsman for the Elks' Satur
day scuffle. He has a good rec
ord this season as a freshman
pitcher at Willamette university.
Choice for Sunday appears to lie
between Ralph Hartman-, pitcher
for Bakersfield in the California
league last year, and Jim Eggers,
from Illinois Valley h'i.
Other hurlers on the GP staff
are George Herr, from I is year's
Grants Pass high nine, and Phil
Lewis, a GP prepper last year.
Herr is now in Albany with the
high school team for the state
tourney.
Catchers listed are Mel Drews,
Glenn Reese and Bob (Tiger)
Smith, a Southern Oregon col
legian, will not be available this
week end because of school bac
calaureate. Drews may be at Al
bany yet Saturday with the GP
high team in the state A tourney.
Possible fielders for the Elks
this week are Bill Seymour,
from Southern Oregon, first base;
Dick Toney, from Lewis and
Clark college, second base; Ron
Owings, SOC, shortstop; John
Hammons, GP semi-pro vet, third
base, and Dick Nix, SOC; Clint
Reese, semi-pro vet, and John
Eggink, Grants Pass junior prep
nine. Another probable out
fielder. Chuck Nevi is expected to be
a utility infielder. He also is still
with the prep nine. Another
probable outfielder is Ed Gold
man. He played for the Oregon
State college Rooks last year but
was out of school this year.

Individual Events Should
Rouse Interest in PCC Tiff
Eugene (U.R) Powerful
Southern California is favored,
as usual, to capture the Pacific
Coast Conference track and field
title here today and tomorrow
but some of the individual
events were expected to keep
interest abuzz.
Some of the nation's top col
lege milers are among the con
testants, including NCAA champ
Bill Dellinger of Oregon. There
Williams Off
Restricted List
Boston (U.R) Ted Williams
was to come off the restricted list
today but it may be another few
days before he takes off the
wraps officially and makes his
first American League appear
ance of the season for the Red
Sox.
To make room for Williams on
their roster, the Red Sox option
ed pitcher Russ Kemmerer to
Louisville of the American As
sociation. ,
Boston Manager Mike Higgins
insists it is strictly up to Wil
liams as to when he wishes to
play.
"Whether Ted can play or just
pinch hit will depend on how
he feels," Higgins said.
If Williams feels he is ready
to start in left field, Higgins
said he will move Gene Stephens,
who is hitting .408, to center
field and bench Jim Piersall.
Dow Finsterwald
Leader in Open
Ft. Wayne, Ind. CU.R) Dow
Finsterwald, unrattled by the
"big name" golfers hot on his
heels, led the pack today into
the second round of the $15,000
Ft. Wayne Open with a sizzling
7-under-par 65 under his belt.
The precision swinger from
Bedford Heights, Ohio, left the
field of 94 others behind Thurs
day with his consistent nines of
32 and 33 on the par 72 Elks
Country Club course.
Doug Ford, Kiamesha Lake,
N.Y., who won the event last
year with a 72-hole total of 270,
was one of a group of 11 pros and
one amateur to hit 69.
Also in the top 26 were Gene
Littler, Palm Springs, Calif., the
No. 2 money - winner this sea
son; former champ Art Wall, Po-
cono Manor, Pa.; Frank Strana
han, Toledo, Ohio, formerly a top
amateur, and Julius Boros, Mid

Unknown To
Race Nashua
In Preakness
Baltimore, Md. (U.R) Sticks,
an unknown little bay gelding
who was bedded down in ob
scurity at Washington Park near
Chicago Thursday, was the star
attraction today at Pimlico where
he was scheduled to show up to
challenge Nashua Saturday in
the SI 16,600 Preakness Stakes.
Nine three-year-olds were en
tered for the mile and three-sixteenths
classic with Nashua a
prohibitive favorite at 2-5 to
atone for his Kentucky Derby
defeat by winning the second of
the triple crown classics.
Few Had Heard
But the railbirds now were
anxious to see this surprise en
try. Very few of them ever had
heard of him and even the track
officials had to scurry for the
secord books when Pat Farrel,
racing secretary at the Balmoral
meeting at Washington Park,
telephoned in Sticks entry
Thursday.
The Chicago invader was
flown to Newark, N.J., airport
Thursday night and was vanned
here early this morning.
The past performance sheets
didn't treat Sticks very kindly.
The son of Rico Monte-Simla
raced 19 times as a juvenile a
year ago. He won three races
with three seconds, two thirds
and earnings of $9,307. This
year, in six races, sucks nas
failed to win and added only
$590 to his earnings.
Lake o' Woods
Resort Opening
Ice on the lake thawed two
weeks ago and fishing should be
good for rainbow trout at Lake
o' Woods. That is the report of
Mrs. Tom Neeley, Medford, one
of the resort proprietors.
Trout angling season at Ihe
lake starts on Saturday, May
28.
Mrs. Neeley stated that the re
sort will be open for business
with boats, motors and cabins
for rent, groceries for sale and
coffee shop available.
Dead Indian and Klamath
Falls routes to the lake are open
but the road from Fish lake to
Lake o' Woods were reported
closed. Roads around the lake
were being plowed this week
and were expected to be open
by the week end.
George Bosley, caretaker at
the lake, purchased a Sno-Cat
last fall. He has found it satis
factory for reaching all summer
homes during the winter, to
check for damage Mrs. Neeley
reported. He found little damage
from wind, snow and ice. A
tree fell on the Lavenick cabin
and considerably damaged one
room. .
The Neeleys went to the lake
early in May, being taken in by
Sno-Cat. They reported one tree
down but no damage to the
cabins.
seemed little likelihood of a
near four-minute mile, however.
Southern Cal's Ernie Shelton,
the one-shoed high jumper,
again will be shooting for the
legendary seven-foot mark. He
has been near six-foot-10 inches
all season.
Oregon, Northern Division
champ for the past two seasons,
has strength in the distance
events but seems outmanned by
the powerful Trojan squad. Stan
ford and UCLA are strong in the
field events and hurdles.
Preliminaries were scheduled
this afternoon. Field events will
start at 3:30 p.m. Saturday with
running events to begin 30 min
utes later.
Dellinger won the PCC title
last season with a 4:14.8 mile.
But his three chief competitors
have run the mile at least three
seconds faster this season with
Bob Seaman of UCLA tops at
4:10.7. Other top flight milers
are Sid Wing and Marty Mont
gomery of Southern California.
Ken Reiser of Oregon could
win the two-mile but faces stiff
competition from Bob Hunt of
UCLA. Chuck Strong and Will
King of Stanford and Lou Gour
ley of Idaho, and Fernando Le
desma of USC who has run
under 9:10 this season.
Jim Bailey, the Oregon soph,
has the best time in the 880 by
a full second but if Seaman
should run this race also he
would provide stiff competition.
Bob Gary of Washington State
was a double-winner threat in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
Walt Garrett of Stanford was a
favorite in the 440 along with
Mike Larrabee of USC and Russ
Ellis of UCLA.
Ray Martin of USC and Don
Vick of UCLA both have put
the shot more than 55 feet. Vick
will challenge versatile Des
Kock's also of USC, in the dis
cus. Stanford's John Bugge and
Chuck Kimball were strong con
tenders in the javelin with Jerry
Church of Oregon State. Ed
Bingham of Oregon and Koch
and Bob Voiles of USC also con
tenders. The broad jump appeared an
evenly matched event among
Oregon's Martin Pedigo. UCLA's
Chuck Holloway, Stanford's
Frank Hermann and Jon Ar
nett of USC.
Helbig's Hitting
Paces Tri-City
By- UNITED PRESS
Dwane Helbig of Tri-City was
in a hitting mood last night and
his clouts helped the Braves to
a 10-1 victory over Lewiston in
one of two games played in the
Northwest League.
Helbig wasted no time getting
under way, smacking a four-run
homer in the first inning. He
singled in another run in the
ninth for good measure.
Wenatchee enjoyed a five-run
inning and the league-leading
Chiefs saved it until it was
needed. Wenatchee got five in
the eighth to break a 4-4 tie and
hand Yakima a 9-5 defeat.
A scheduled Eugene at Spok
ane game was postponed be
cause of rain.

Costa Opposes
Perez Tonight
New York (U.R) Feather
weight contenders Carmelo Cos
ta and Lulu Perez, two speedy
kids from Brooklyn, meet ' to
night in a TV-radio 10-round bout
that could provide the fastest
ring - action of the year.
Moreover, the battle of these
two jet-scrappers in Madison
Square Garden will decide which
shall continue toward a shot at
the 126-pound crown. Right now
the division is utterly devoid of
a -worthwhile challenger for
Sandy Saddler's title.
Costa is ranked sixth among
contenders: Perez, seventh.
Tonight's principals are the
fastest men in their class per
haps the speediest, pound for
pound, in any. class. But neither
can approach Saddler in explo
siveness. Black - haired Perez, the 22-year-old
son of a hotel chef, is
a fair puncher, and he is a slight
favorite at 6-5 to win tonight.
