The bearded aggregation is managed by George Anderson, a utility player who has been with the Davids since 1923 and has piloted the group since 1942. The Davids, who have been touring the northwest, promise to provide entertainment which is said to be worth the price of admission alone. Bobo Nicher son, the Screwball of Baseball, takes part in the famous "pep per game" in the fifth inning, Oregon Man WinsWorld's Longest Race Redding, Calif. (U.R) Ar vid Nyleen, Willamania, Ore., swept into Kutras lake 13 min utes ahead of seven other big boats to win the tortuous, 316- mile Stockton-Redding . diamond cup race Saturday. Nyleen traveled the distance up the Sacramento river and through the turbulent waters of Jron Canyon and China Chutes in seven hours, nine mintes and 36 3-5 seconds. Harold Concklin, Ephrata, Wash., was second with a lapsed timeQof seven hours and 22 minutes and 21 seconds. Nyleen took a $1,000 pot, and another $1,000 went to the next three finishers, including Conck lin, Frank Pennisi, Daly City (7:27.54) and M. A. Bailes, Oak land (7:36.22 3-5). One Mishap In the one mishap that marred Fje world's longest outboard race, the boat driven by Al W. ipnes, Hollywood, flipped over near Isleton, but he climbed back in and finished the race unhurt. Four classes of boats finished a two-day race over the same course Saturday with Don Quin livariVa Torrance airplane pilot, winding the "big" DU class in 7:38.35. H&was followed by Mike Lehikaine, Oakland (10:46.31). Bud-David, Modesto, won the AU class in 9:54.23; Lavere Brown, Salinas, 'took the BU class in 8:26.51; and Don Schwar zenbach, Los Angeles, won the "36" class in 9:03.50. and contributes to the amusing side of the contest. Comedy by Bobo Among Nickerson's tactics are bat juggling and pantomine pitching to the New York Yan kees. During the game, he clowns along base lines, "assists" umpires and demonstrates how not to hit and run bases. Bobo also holds the world's record of catching a baseball dropped from an airplane flying 650 feet above ground. But aside from comedy, the Davids provide good competition for any team with a roster of players who have had major league, minor league, college baseball and service background Traveling Players Among players on the travel ing squad are pitchers Homer Garner, Bill Lavello, John Bo dine, Edward Logan, Bill Tim- ko, James Keenan, Chuck Liska, John Silver and John Chezik; Infielders Don Gorsuch, Frank Cerillo, Rocky Carlini, Bill Kimball, Ted Russ, Chet Plos jai, and Outfielders Bill Stoey, Bob Self, Frank Crosetti and Ben Owens. Several of the players are in their first season with the Dav ids, which is the oldest indepen dent baseball team in the coun try. The Studs, members of the Southern' Oregon league, com plete a two-game series with the Drain Black Sox at the fair grounds park starting at 2 p.m. today. Drain is presently lead ing the league and the series has been slated as one of the top series for the Studs this season.

Chicago Keeps AL Lead Of 1 Point tent drizzle all around the 6,915 yards links, 'and Ford finished with a 69 for 207. Thomson, making his third ap pearance in the event and who led the tourney at this same point last year, began the day two strokes up on iord and ne increased the margin to three after nine holes yesterday, when he was two under par with a 34 compared to Ford's 35. Pulls Closer But Ford chipped four inches from the pin on the 10th hole to pull a stroke closer with an eagle and he gained another stroke with a par on the 14th compared to Thomson's bogie five. Both birdied the 15th, bo- gied the 16th and parred in. Meanwhile 39 - year - old Freddie Haas, Claremont, Calif., who started Saturday's play four strokes behind thomson, gave up with the best round of the day, a five under par 67, to move into a second place tie with Ford, one stroke off Thom son's pace. Veteran Jimmy Demaret, Kia mesha Lake, N.Y., and defend ing champion Jerry Barber, Los Angeles, deadlocked at 212 for seventh place. . Heavy rain after half the field was on the course hampered nearly everybody, leaving the fairways soggy and the greens slow for the last finishers of the day. Still 31 of the 80 pro's in the field matched par of 72 or were better.
