Nashua Wins Belmont Race;
Swaps Takes Calif ornian
New York (U.R) Nashua
romped to a nine length victory
in the 87th running of the $119,
800 Belmont Stakes Saturday to
vault to sixth place on the all
time money winning list as he
salvaged what was left of the
Triple Crown after losing to
Swaps in the Kentucky Derby.
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.
Hollywood (U.R) The Holly
wood Stars clinched their Pa
cific Coast league series against
Los Angeles - yesterday with a
13-hit attack including two hom
ers for a 6 tc 1 victory.
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

Duck Trackman
Eugene (U.R) Ken Reiser,
Pacific Coast Conference two

named the most valuable mem

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. June IS, 1153

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.
