Two weeks ago Belair stud's king of the eastern three-year-olds set a track record in win ning the Preakness stakes but his chances of joining the eight horses who have swept to glory by taking each of the spring classics were gone forever the day Rex Ellsworth's western champion ran away from him in the stretch at Churchill Downs. Closest to Nashua at the end of the testing mile and one-half race was Barclay Stable's Blaz ing Count with Clearwater Sta ble's Portersville third. $83,700 to Winner But the winner's share of $83, 700 belonged to Nashua without the shadow of a doubt once jockey Eddie Arcaro let him run at the top of the stretch. The victory boosted the husky colt's earnings to $653,690 and left him behind only Citation, Stywie, Armed, Native Dancer and Assault on the list of the turf's greatest money winners. It was the sixth time Belair Stud's internationally-famed red polka dot and white silks have flashed to victory In this great test of a horse's stamina as well as speed. It was the sixth time trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons saddled a winner and Eddie Arcaro rode one. Swaps by a Length Inglewood, Calif. (U.R) Swaps achieved turf immortality Saturday as he raced to a length victory in the $109,800 Califor nian at Hollywood Park to set a new world's record for a mile Stars' 13 Hits Too Many For LA; Oalcs Beats Seals Sacramento. Calf. (U.R) Frankie Austin and Jim Rob ertson drove in four runs with homers in the eighth inning and veteran Red Adams pitched six-hit ball tonight to lift the Portland Beavers to a 6-3 win over Sacramento and into sixth place in the Pacific Coast Legaue.

Red Munger allowed six hits In going the distance for an 8-3 record and his sixth straight victory. Al Lary was the loser. Bobby Prescott connected for a home run . with two mates aboard in the third and Carlos Bernier followed suit in the fifth. The roundtrippers were the fifth of the year for both Prescott and Bernier. Hall of Fame Day San Francisco (U.R) The Oakland Oaks scored two un earned runs in the ninth inning Saturday to defeat San Fran cisco, 4-3, behind Hec Brown's ' five-hit pitching and take a 3-2 v lead in the Pacific Coast league series. The Seals scored three un earned runs off Brown in the fourth inning and the former Red Sox righthander blanked them the rest of the way. A crowd of 3,024 who watch ed pre-game ceremonies for San Francisco's first annual Hall of Fame day saw the Seals blow it in the ninth on errors by pitch er Bill Bradford and shortstop Mike Baxes. In the pre-game festivities, five one-time Seal greats were installed in a local Hall of Fame. They were the late Charles H. Graham, long-time president of the club; the late Harry Heil mann, one of the all-time great right-handed hitters; Paul Wan er, who went up to the Pitts burgh Pirates to become a slug ging star; Lefty O'Doul, for 17 years manager of the Seals and now the Oakland pilot, and Joe DiMaggio, the former Yankee Clipper. O'Doul was the only one on hand to personally re ceive a scroll. Padres Win in 10th San Diego, Calif. (U.R) The San Diego Padres broke a 1-1 tie in the 10th inning Saturday to edge the persistent Seattle Rainiers 2-1 in a Pacific Coast league game. The league-leading Padres came out of the squeeze in the bottom half of the 10th when Ed Bailey singled to drive in Milt Smith. Smith opened the inning, with a double and then raced to third on Earl Rapp's fly to deep center. and a sixteenth. Despite being ridden by a new jockey, Dave Erb, in place of the suspended Willie Shoemaker, Swaps ran down the pace-setting Mister Gus in the stretch and then pulled away from Deter mine who finished second in the small field of six starters. Swaps appeared in hand as he won by a length and his time of 1.40 25 cut two fifths of a sec ond off the world record set last winter at Santa Anita by Poona n. The official margin of the vic tory was fixed at one and a quar ter lengths with Determine a half length in front of Mister Gus who was three lengths ahead of Rejected. Clocked in 1:34 for Mile The fractional time told the tale of the race as the leader was clocked in 1.10 for six fur longs but in a brilliant 1.34 flat for the mile. And that was the end of Mister Gus and that was when Swaps made his almost effortless move. Erb merely was hand riding the horse although not slacking up on him until the final 60 yards where he finally began easing. Ironically, it was Determine's stablemate, Imbros, who last year captured the first running of the weight for age race with Determine, as a three year old and coming off his current Ken tucky Derby win, finishing sec ond. Imbros' time of 1.41 equal ed the then existing world's rec ord until Poona II came along to break it last winter. Behind Rejected in fourth place came Novarullah in fifth and Travertine in last place. Maddox Might Pitch For Cheney Stud Mine Against Bandon Today Who'll get the mound call for the Medford Cheney Studs when they play the Bandon Millers in a Southern Oregon Baseball League mix at the fairgrounds this afternoon? The man who gets the bid may very well be Terry Maddox, No. 1 pitcher in the Pacific Coast Conference Northern division and most valuable player for University of Oregon this year. But Terry's appearance depends on how well he has recovered from a shoulder ailment. Maddox, home from his sec ond year at Oregon, was to have rejoined the Studs last night. He reported that he pulled shoulder ligaments of his throw ing arm against Oregon State college three weeks ago. Wheth er he'll do any chucking today will be determined by how the arm responds in warm up. Has Rested Arm The righthander said that his Ken Reiser Top Duck Trackman Eugene (U.R) Ken Reiser, Pacific Coast Conference two mile champion, yesterday was named the most valuable mem ber of the 1955 University of Oregon track and field team by his teammates. ALL-CIF PLAYER OF YEAR Los Angeles (U.R) The Helms Board of Baseball today named pitcher-outfielder Deron Johnson of the San Diego High school baseball team for All-CIF player of the year honors. Bobo Olson Named In Court Case San Francisco (U.R) Carl (Bobo) Olson, middleweight champion of the world, and Sid E. Flaherty, his manager, were named defendents Friday in a $500,000 breach of contract suit filed in federal court here. Herbert Campos, Honolulu fight manager, asked $250,000 general damages from each Ol son and Flaherty, or an account of their net receipts since June 27. 1951. He also asked the court to de clare in full force a contract he contends entitles him to one third of Olson's net receipts un til July 19, 1959. . The suit contends that Olson signed a contract with Campos in Honolulu July 20. 1949, giv ing Campos "sole and exclusive" managerial powers for 10 years, plus one-third of his net earn ings and Olson two-thirds. Olson, according to the suit, "wrongfully and without cause" breached the contract June 27, 1951, and signed with Flaherty July 9 of that year. Olson . and Flaherty are at Asbury Park, N.Y., at present where Olson is training for a fight with Archie Moore June 22 for the light heavyweight championship. . Two Suspended In Doping Case Portland (U.R) Ed Crosson, horse trainer from Burns, Ore., Friday received an indefinite suspension from the Oregon State Racing Commission in connection with a horse doping case. Crosson was charged with failure to guard his horse prior to a race, and for possessing an illesal stimulant within the track area. Roy Leigh, owner of the horse Picnicker, was suspended for the remainder of the 1955 racing season for failure to guard his mount. Picnicker, winner of the fourth Memorial Day race, was found to have been under the effects of a stimulant. The commission action upheld similar rulings made by the board of stewards at Portland Meadows. OLYMPIC CONGRESS MEETS Paris, France U.R) Dele gates to the 50th international Olympic Committee Congress met with members of the IOC executive committee in secret session Friday. It was reported later that a five-point agenda for next week's meeting had been agreed upon, including a set of questions submitted by the In ternational Amateur Boxing association. Sue Leads Junior Entries; Sets RVCC Course Record Sue DeVoe, Southern Oregon women's champion and holder of the ladies' non-competitive course record at Rogue Valley Country club, will lead the Rogue Valley delegation into the Oregon Golf association ju nior tournament at Portland on Monday. The tourney, which lasts through Friday, will be at Col-umbia-Edgewater course in Port land. At least seven RVCC players will participate. Sue fired a two-under-women's-par 74 at the Medford links a week ago and after some checking, her score was estab lished as the non competitive mark. Mrs. Helen Davies holds the record in competitive play with a 75. Miss DeVoe recorded a 38-36 for her round, dropping in five birdies and having three bogies. She holed out all of her put's and missed chipping off another stroke when she failed to down a 12-footer. Sue was playing in a foursome with Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Lewis and Mrs. Maxine Hammond. Former' Junior Champ The Rogue Valley Miss will go into the junior meet as a former champ She won the tourney in 1952 and 1953 but was runner-up to Carole Jo Kab- ler, Sutherlin, last year. Carole Jo may provide Sue's chief com petition this time. Sue also has her sights set on playing in the OGA senior tourney in which she was a semi-finalist last year, losing out to the Sutherlin girl. It takes at least a runner-up spot in the junior meet to be eligible for the senior tourna ment. She left for Portland Fri day. Larry Berg in the pee wee class and Tom Hamlin, Don Peek, Jerry Anderson, Tom Al ley and Gary Harrington in the boys division are among boys entries. There may be others from the local flub. Phil Austin is entering from Ashland, work against Southern Cal the week after the Oregon State ac tion didn't help his shoulder. Giving his flinger a complete rest he hasn't done any throw ing for a couple of weeks. The shoulder isn't sore, Maddox said, it just bothered when he was throwing. Derald Wooton, another right hander, whom it was hoped would be able to toss this week end, is still laid up with an ankle injury. The ankle was badly bruised Tuesday by a bat ted ball. Wooton has doctor's or ders to keep off the injured member this week end. If he does appear at the park, he's not likely to be in uniform. Other hurlers available to the Studs are Jim Kelly and Kay Kelley and possibly manager Clarence Mellbye. Warren Noyes was to have seen duty last night in the series opened against the Millers and Marv Scherpf has gone to National Guard camp. Another collegian was expect ed to be back in a Cheney uni form today. He is Gordon Car rigan, who was scheduled to re turn here yesterday following his last examination at Oregon State. Carrigan was an outfield regular for the Studs last year. Bandon, with a big represent ation of hometown players, is making its bow into the South ern Oregon League this week end. The club was not a member of the circuit in 1954. Semi-pro baseball rivalry with Medford is nothing new for the Millers, however. Both clubs were mem bers of the former Southwestern Oregon League which gave way last year to the Southern Ore gon loop. There was uncertainty also to day about just whom Bandon will have on the mound. Only pitchers listed for the club have been Allen Prewitt and Ray Stratton. The latter is listed as the Millers third baseman. Game time today is 2 p. m, Sunday.

Responsibility of Institutions Extended in Coast Conference Los Angeles (U.R) Pacific Coast Conference Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt has reported that the PCC has tightened its rules to extend institutional re sponsibility, and enforcement of regulations. Schmidt said significant legis lation on rules and enforcement was made at the recent confer ence meeting held in Portland, Ore. He said institutions will be held responsible to the confer ence for activities by individuals or groups over whom the insti tution has control or from whom it receives support. "The institution will be ans werable to the conference for activities of booster clubs and alumni organizations which it recognizes, as well as for its coaches and staff members, in regard to activities detrimental to intercollegiate athletics," he said. Schmidt said the PCC also: 1. Established a new athletic code enforcement board which will have authority to direct in quiries and to hold hearings on all cases referred to it by the conference. 2. Made an appropriation for the employment of professional investigative assistance to aid the commissioner in investiga tions involving the conference rules. 3. Took action to permit athletic events on high school and : junior college campuses, provided they do not interview any prospective students. Coaches formerly were allowed to view such events .only if they were held on a neutral site. IC50 FORD Y8 F-2 Ton Pick?
