Giammalva
Seeded In
I
Tournament
Newport, R. I. (U.R) Dark
horse Sam Giammalva of Hous
ton, Texas, winner of Sunday's
Eastern Grass Court champion-
hips, will be third-seeded today
in the opening matcn oi xne
even-day Newport Casino invi
tation tennis tourney.
Giammalva, who scored his
third straight upset victory by
beating Gil Shea of Los Angeles,
took the final round by defeating
Shea 6-2, 3-6, 11-9, 9-7 in a match
marked by aggressive net play
by both players.
Giammalva rocketed into the
limelight when he beat the Davis
Cup star and second-seeded play
er, Vic Seixas of Philadelphia
in the quarter-final round. Next,
he went on to down Kurt Niel
sen of Denmark the top seeded
foreign netster, in the semi-final
round.
Shea has been second-seeded
in today's go-round at the Ca-
ino, and Seixas will not enW
the competition. Seixas would
have been paired up with Tony
Trabert, a power tennis shot
from Cincinnati, but the 24-year-old
Ohioan's physician advised
him to remain out of play until
his pulled shoulder muscle
mends.
THU LEADER Golf pro Pete Thomson of Melbourne,
Australia blasts out of trap on the 17th hole during his
second round of play in the All .mencan tourney at Tam
O'Shanter Country Club in Nil3s, 111. Thomson suffered
only bogey of his round on true hola as he put together
a score of 65, lowest of the tourr His two day total
of 136 is two strokes better than h closest rival.

with 625 points. She forfeited
possible 400 bonus points for
her record heat speed of 103.159
miles per hour in the first heat
when her engine conked out on
the next-to-last lap of the final
heat.
Most of the 500,000 spectators
who iammed the lake shore
went home thinking Miss Thrift
way had kept the Gold Cup in
Seattle. They should have stuck
around until the official scorers
announced a winner.
Ten Started
Thirteen boats were at the
lakeside for the race. Eleven
qualified but only 10 started
and only five finished.
Such Crust III of Detroit was
fourth. Miss Cadillac of Detroit
was fifth. Breathless of Pied
mont, Calif., was sixth, and Gale
IV, although she finished only
one heat, was seventh. . .
Henry Kaiser's Scooter tore a
hole in her bottom and sank at
the start of the first heat. The
gas cap on Guy Lombardo's
Temp VII flew off, sending out
a geyser of gasoline which ignit
ed and burned driver Danny
Foster's arm, and she was out of
the race in the first heat. Rebel
Suh of Seattle went down with
a hole in her bottom at the start
of the second heat.

Climate is Problem
Af Air Force Academy
Kansas City, Mo. (U.R)
Most big schools just grow up
with the vagaries of climate be
ing no problem. But it's dif
ferent in the construction of the
Air Force Academy at Colora
do Springs, Colo.
The football coach wants one
thing. The track coach wants a
tailwind, and the baseball coach
wants his field laid out so the
wind will blow toward the left
field fence when the Air Force
is at bat.
The problems belong to Capt.
Richard C. Burriss. He is sup
posed to provide the climatolog
ical information and advice for
the project.
"The only thing that's depend
able," Burriss told the Ameri
can Meteorological socity, "is
the sun. We can forecast it." But
the wind is something else."
Burriss suggested morning
graduations at the academy.
"On a June morning, an out
door commencement at 11 a.m.
wouldn't get rained out more
than once in 100 at Colorado
SDrings." he said. "But in the
afternoon, it probably would
get rained out every other year.'
Patent Office Issues
Worms Trade-Mark
Washington (U.R) The U
S. Fish and Wildlife Service re
ports the case of the Louisianan
who prized the fish-worms he
raised for anglers so highly that
he got the government to give
them a registered trademark.
The man wrote to the U. S.
Patent Office and said his worms
were very special and needed a
special name. He asked if he
could register them as "Louisi
ana Pinks" and restrain any oth
er worm raiser from using that
name.
After a conference with Fish
and Wildlife officials, the Patent
Office decided to accept the ap
plication so now fishermen can
bait their hooks with trade
marked worms.

Firemen Answer
Week End Alarms
Firemen investigating a re
port of smoke at the Jackson
hotel yesterday morning found
that an air conditioning motor
had short circuited, causing tne
smoke. There was no other dam
age. A pumper and aerial lad
der responded to the alarm.
At 1 p.m. Sunday a pump
truck'was called to the Monarch
Seed and Feed warehouse, 305
South Fir st., to extinguish a
fire in stored hay. Firemen said
it was caused by four small
boys playing there. Damage was
listed as minor.
About an acre of grass to the
rear of the Pierce Auto Freight
lines building on Soutn River
side ave., was burned over yes
terday afternoon, firemen said.
It apparently started from the
sparks blown from an incinerator.
Firemen flushed away 12 gas
oline sDills on down town streets,
and Fire Marshal Truman Nelson
inspected six business occupan
cies, a hotel, and one complaint
in a residential area over the
week end. Nelson issued five
orders for the correction of haz
ardous conditions.
Dream Switch Works;
Man Presented Award
Pittsburgh U.R) Ray A.
Hammerstrom, a roller at the
Pittsburgh Works of the Jones
and Laughlin Steel Corp. here,
had a dream worth $15,000.
Evens leading up to his happy
dream began in the summer of
1953, when a new 10-inch bar
mill was installed at the works.
The mill worked fine, except
for a switch that controlled the
delivery of straight bars to the
cooling beds.
Company engineers altered
the switch 11 times, but it still
wasn't right. Hammerstrom
thought a lot about the problem
and even made some rough
sketches of a new design. But he
had no success until one after
noon when he lay down for a
nap.
He dreamed about the switch
and, in the dream, it worked
perfectly. When he awoke, he
sketched his dream design.
