Spoiler Cubs Push Milwaukee
Out of Lead; Yanks Up Margin
By FRED DOWN ,
United Press Sports Writer
Stan Hack"s Chicago Cubs
won't win the National League
pennant this year but it looks
like they'll have a lot to say
about who does come out on top
In the crazy, mixed-up scramble.
The circuit's "sad sack" team
until the Memorial Day mile
stone, the Cubs have developed
into official "spoilers" with a
20-1 pace since June 1 that's
topped only by the Brooklyn
Dodgers' 21-14 rate since that
date. And, in the last week they
have taken five of eight games
from the Milwaukee Braves, St.
Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati
Redlegs.
The Cubs made it three out of
their last five with the Braves
last .night when Vito Valenti-
netti and Jim Brosnan collaborat
ed in a four-hit, 7-1 triumph. The
loss knocked the Braves out of
first place and enabled the idle
Redlegs to take over the top rung
by three percentage points.
Vito Injures Knee
Valentinetti limited the Braves
to three hits in 4 13 innings but
had to retire with a strained
ligament in his left knee when
he collided with wes Covington
in a play at the plate in the fifth
inning. Jim Brosnan, whose only
other victory was over the
Braves on May 30, held them to
one hit the rest of the way to
receive credit for the win.
Eddie Miksis homered to snap
a ' 1-1 tie with two out in the
seventh inning and the Cuds
went on to tally four more runs
to sew up the game. Hobie Land
rith and Brosnan singled in the
wake of Miksis' homer and Don
Hoak followed with a double.
Gene Baker singled home two
runs and another tallied on Dee
Fondy's double.
The loss left little doubt in
Fred Haney's mind that his
"honeymoon" as manager of the
Braves is over. The Braves reel
ed off 11 straight victories when
Haney took over but have lost
seven of their last 11 games dur
ing which they have scored a
total of 36 runs.
Ford Wins 10th
In the American League, -the
New York Yankees stretched
their lead over the idle Chicago
White Sox to four games when
they defeated the Boston Red
Sox, 6-1, and the Detroit Tigers
snapped a 14-game home losing
streak with a 13-7 triumph over
the Cleveland Indians.
Gil McDougald drove in four
runs with a homer, double and
single to lead the Mickey Man-
tleless Yankees to their victory
over the Red Sox. Whitey Ford
limited the Red Sox to seven
hits to win his 10th game com
pared to four losses. The tri
umph was the Yankees' ninth
in their last 11 games since
they dropped four straight to
the White Sox.
The Tigers overcame a 4-0
deficit produced by Jim Busby's
grand slam homer in the first
inning to rout Bob Lemon and
present Frank Lary with his fifth
win of the year. Lary also yield
ed a three-run homer to Al Rosen
but was touched for only three
other hits.
The Tigers pounded out 14
hits, including a homer by Har
vey Kuenn, and erupted in a
six-run, second inning rally and
a five-run. third inning outburst.

British Open
Title Taken
By Thomson
Hoylake, England. U.R)
Peter Thomson, a 26-year-old
Australian, won the British
Open Golf championship for
the third consecutive year to
day when he shot a final
round 74 for a total of 286.
It was the first lime since
the tournament was made a
72-hole event in 1892 that a
golfer ever has won the title
three times in a row.
Although his fourth and fi
nal round was his worst,
Thomson had a three-stroke
lead over Flory Van Donck of
Belgium, who carded a final
round 74 for an aggregate of
289.

The Los Angeles Angels got
closer to the Pacific Coast
League leading Seattle Rainiers
Thursday night, but it might
have been because the Rainiers
were not running.
The Cherubs made their run
at San Diego and swamped the
Padres 10-5. but Seattle sat idly
by and watched the southerners
close the gap to a game and a
half. Seattle and Vancouver
were not scheduled.
Sacramento pulled back even
with Portland for the fourth
place spot by edging past San
Francisco 4-3 while Hollywood
was taking Portland 8-7 in a
long-delayed game.
Angels Win
The Angels and the Padres
played the only afternoon game
and Los Angeles came out on
top.
San Diego took an early lead,
but 15 Angel hits, including
homers by Bob Speake and
George Freese, put the Border
town nine to rout in the late
frames.
The win went to the Angels'
star reliever Bob Anderson
while Arnie Atkins took the loss.
also on fireman duty.
Wally Westlake clouted his
sixth home run of the season for
Sacramento in the bottom of the
eighth inning with the score tied
at 3-3 to give the Solons a split
with the Seals.
None of the first three Solon
runs were earned, but that was
little consolation to Russ Kem-
merer who took his eighth loss.
Bud Watkins, who like Dem
merer went the distance, was
the winner.
Hollywood roared to a 7-0
lead over Portland and. then
added a run in the ninth.
Run" Needed
. It was a good thing the Stars
got that extra run, because Port
land got three in the sixth, two
in the eighth and fell a single
run short of tying with two more
in the ninth.
The ' game was interrupted
twice for passing rain showers
and took four hours to complete.
Tonight the teams swap part-
Los Angeles; Sacramento enter
taining San Diego; San Fran

Stock Cars To Make First
Appearance at Valley View
Hoylake. Eng. (U.R) Peter
Thomson-of Australia was shoot
ing today to become the first
golfer since the turn of the cen
tury to win the British Open
three years in a row and he was
a strong favorite to get the job
done.
Thomson Thursday shot his
second straight one-under-par 70
to lead runner-up Latin Ameri
can golfers, Enrique Bertolino of
Argentina and Roberto de Vi
cenzo of Mexico City with a 140
total against their 141 counts.
Only two Americans were left
in the competition. Mike Souchak
and Frank Stranahan each had
36-hole totals of 148. Gene Sara-
zen had a 152 which enabled him
to qualify but he withdrew to
fly home to the U. S. for memor
ial rites for a friend killed m
the Grand Canyon airplane disaster.
A fourth U. S. entrant. Peter
Burke, Cold Springs Harbor,
N.Y., the U.S. Seniors entrant,
failed to qualify.
Stock cars make their initial
appearance on the Valley View
Speedway Saturday night. Sev
eral cars' have been entered and
with fenders, bumpers and all
the other items that make up a
stock car, there certainly could
be plenty of excitement.
Last Saturday night the hard
tops gave the fans all the excite
ment and spills of a thrill show.
They did lots of racing but also
turned over, caught fire, went
over the side and spun out right
in front of the pack. Leadfoot
Lou Kurz did a fast roll, landed
on his wheels and returned to
the wars. This week he intends
to stay on his wheels and add
nother trophy to his collection.

Record Number
Of Salmon Cross
Umpaua Station
Portland For the fourth
straight year the spring salmon
migration on the Umpqua river
has held the spotlight with a
record number of fish passing
the counting board at Winchester
dam up to mid-June.
Records kept by Bill Pitney,
game commission fishery biolo
gist at Roseburg, show that this
year's run has surpassed all pre
vious runs to the mid-June date
and may be a record breaker if
the present trend continues since
there is still better than a month
to go on the spring run counts.
From mid-May to mid-June,
4.500 adult fish and 740 jacks
were tallied at the counting sta
tion. The previous high for a
similar period occurred in 1955
when 3,371 adults and 793 jacks
were counted. By the June 15
date, the 1956 migration stood
at 7,186 fish, 1,200 more than
had even been seen at a similar
date in previous years of count
ing. The run to date is almost
double the 1951 parent run when
3.617 fish were tallied.
11.3 Per Cent Marked
Periodic sampling of the Chi
nook run by trapping at the
counting station shows that 11.3
per cent are marked fish from
game commission releases. Ap
proximately 12 per cent of the
anglers catch originated from
game commission plants, com
paring favorably to the ratio
found at the dam.
The winter sleelhead count
was completed on May 31 with
the third . highest tally in the
11 years that the counting sta
tion has been in operation. The
1955-56 run stood at 10.211 steel
head and compared favorably
with the parent run of 10,635
steelhead tallied in 1951-52.
