Nothing Can Be Achieved By Hollering Br HAL WOOD San Francisco U.PJ Short shots: The dirty linen is on the line now and there's no chance for the Pacific Coast conference to do anything except go on with its campaign. All the hollering from the alumni demanding that USC and UCLA withdraw from the con ference will get them nothing. Both schools are members of the NCAA and you can bet your bottom dollar (or would that be Illegal?) that the NCAA will go along with the PCC on imposing probations and bans. So actually, USC and UCLA have no place to go for redress. DO VANDALS EYE BOWL? And speaking of the PCC! In today's mail a batch of propaganda from University of Idaho, extolling the vir tues of the 1956 Vandal foot ball team, which has four PCC grid games this fall. Couldn't be campaigning for the Rose Bowl already, could they? Under the present bans in the PCC. it looks like Stan- ford is a shoo-in for the visit to the Hose Bowl this year and the annual licking from the Big Ten UCLA couldn't go anyway, under the no -repeat rule; USC and Washington are banned. Of course, the Stanford turn at bat in the PCC Inner coun cils hasn't come up yet. SALARY TOO HIGH Joe Gordon, new manager of the San Francisco Seals, didn't prove to be any wizard es a manager in his last attempt. . But the report is that he was released, not because of his fail ures as a manager but because of the fact that his player-manager salary was reported to be too high: $22,500 per year. FAIN IN SLUMP Ferris Fain, two-time Amer ican League batting champion just a few seasons back, has gone 0 for 18 in his last few games with the Sacramento Solons. The big scourge of the tir; leagues also has changed in some other respects, too. He is a full-time family man, now, commuting 100 miles every night from Sacramento to his home in Walnut Creek, when the Solons are playing at home.

(U.R) Three Oregon women golfers paced the field in the Pacific North west Amateur Golf tournament here yesterday in the opening round of match play. Sue DeVoe of Medford, Grace DeMoss of Corvallis, and Carole Jo Kabler of Sutherlin moved up in the women's field. Only Oregon entry in the women's division who failed to advance MedforwTmbuite rpaDimrs Oddsmakers Install Dodgers as By CARL LINDQUIST United Press Sports Writer The National league's cup of joy still was overflowing today. Last year after the All-Star game, the happiness over a Na tional league victory was temp ered over the fact that there was no pennant race left. But today, as teams resume full scale action in both leagues, the last place New York Giants are just 12VS games behind the top-dog Cincinnati Redlegs in the National. After the All-Star break in 1955, Brooklyn was a dozen games' in front of second place Milwaukee and the rest of the teams straggled out behind that to a 30-game deficit for last place Pittsburgh. Thus, the last place Giants to day are almost as close to the top as were the second place Braves of a year ago. Dodgers Still Favored Today, the Braves still are in second place, but that's a sit uation which could change al- Portly Men Catch Eyes In Publinks San Francisco U.R) Every body loves a fat man and a couple of portly golfers were winning all the plaudits and the matches as the third round of the National Public Links Golf tournament got under way to day. Sandy McBeath, the tourna ment medalist who stands only 5-7, but weighs 180 pounds; and jumbo Jim North, who tips the scales at 265 pounds on a 6-2 frame, were the men to watch as the gruelling second day of match competition started. There were 36 holes Wednes day, 36 today, each involving two matches. Friday will be the 36-hole semi-finals and Satur day the 36-hole finals. North vs. Esposito In the featured pairings today, North took on Emil Esposito of Franklin Park, 111., and Mc Beath battled George Galios of Monterey, Calif. By nightfall only four out of the 16 still were to be in contention. North registered a 20-hole win over Craig Olson of Long Beach, Calif., Wednesday. Earlier he disposed of 'young Billy Joe Lauer, Spokane, Wash., 1-up. McBeath was two under par for the 29 holes it took him to dispose of Dave Onstad, Miami Springs, Fla., 5-4, in the second round; and Fred Hubert, Pekin, 111., 4-3, In the first round. Good golf was shot in some of the other matches too. George Aubrey, the doughnut maker from Moon Run, Pa., was one under par in disposing of Steve Lakos, Cleveland, A special representative of tne W.

Heritage, Vancouver, 4 and 3; and Miss DeMoss conquered former Irish champion. Sheila McCloughry, Vancouver, 6 and 5. Favorites most overnight, because they are only 1 Vi games behind. More over, the Dodgers, two games behind in third place, have now shown signs they may be ready to push out all the pretenders to their world championship throne. The odds-makers are convinc ed the Dodgers will do it, too, for they installed them as the favorites for the stretch run at 8-5 against a price of 2Vi to 1 for both the Redlegs and the Braves. The fourth place Card inals now are so lightly regard ed they are 20-1 while the second division teams, Pittsburgh, Chi cago, Philadelphia and New York were lumped at 25-1. In the American league, un less injuries to Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra cut down the power of the Yankee Bombers, it looks like another runaway. The Yankees were 6'i games in front of both the second place White Sox and third place In dians. And they're home for a long stand, opening a three-game set with the Indians today. The price on the Yankees right now is a prohibitive 5-7 and the White Sox -and Indians are at 8-1. Bill Johnson Pro Titlist Prineville (U.R) Bill John son, 27-year-old pro at Riverside Golf club in Portland, today reigned as the new Oregon PGA champion. Johnson posted a 4 and 2 win over Dave Killen of Portland's Eastmoreland course in yesterday's final round of match play. Johnson had 11 birdies and led throughout the entire match. Net Stars Reach Quarter-Finals Indianapolis, Ind. (U.R) Eight .of the nation's top ama teurs, including Vic Seixas and Bernard Bartzen, opened the quarter-final round today of the Western Tennis championships at the Woodstock courts here. Seixas advanced by downing John Leach of UCLA in Wednes day's action, 6-4, 6-4, Ind Bart zen, defending champion from San Angelo, Tex., ousted Mike Green of UCLA, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5. Third-seeded Eddie Moylan sidelined Art Andrews of Iowa City, Iowa, in a rugged match, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1, while fourth-seeded Sammy Giaminalva of Houston whipped national collegiate titl ist Alex Olmado of Southern California, 6-3, 6-3. Wade Williams Pioneer Coach Portland (U.R) Wade Wil liams, who retired from the Portland school system last month, yesterday was named head baseball coach at Lewis and Clark college here. At the Northwest conference school, Williams will succeed Warren Smith, who will remain on the Pioneer staff in the health and physical education depart ment.

Fish Population Hurt ; By Logging Siltation ! Portland Logging siltation j has caused serious damage to i the fish population of the south fork of Salmonberry river in Clatsop county. Evidence of this I has been obtained by Ralph Swan, fishery biologist for the game commission. Working on the stream re cently Swan found that on a branch subjected to prolonged and excessive siltation, the few fish present were in poor con dition and that there were no fish of this year's hatch. On a nearby unlogged branch he found cutthroat and steel head of three age groups including many young fish hatched this year. .

Chiefs Take 2 From Ems In NW Loop By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer Given good pitching, this busi ness of running a baseball team is a breeze as Edo Vanni of the Wenatchee Chiefs found out last night. Vanni got two good perform ances from Frank Chase and Cal Humphries and the Chiefs took Eugene 5-1 and 2-0. Chase allowed seven hits in taking his first decision of the year. The Chiefs got him five runs in the fourth with four singles, three walks and a Eu gene error figuring in the scor ing. Humphries was even better. He allowed but four bingles, fanned four and walked four to make his mark 5-3. Back-to-back doubles by Herb Anderson and Phil Marvier got the Chiefs one run in the fourth and the other crossed in the seventh on Anderson's run-producing single. Yakima continued its winning ways with 8-2 and 9-7 decisions over Lewiston. Mel Waite went the route for the Bears in the opener and his mates got him six big runs in the third on six singles and three walks. A four-run sixth-inning rally helped the Bears to victory in the nightcap. Vince Moreci's two-run homer was the big swat of the inning. Salem unlimbered some long distance artillery against Tri City dumping the Braves 10-5. Chuck Essegian had a homer and two doubles and drove in five markers for the winners and Ross Rossburg hit a solo homer for the Senators in the fourth. Ownership Of Detroit Club Talked By LLOYD NORTHARD Detroit (U.R) The, new own ers of the Detroit; Tigers may be picked today. The committee which is to rec ommend which of the eight bids for the club should be accepted was scheduled to huddle this afternoon. This committee is composed of club President Walter, O. (Spike) Briggs, Secretary and Business Manager Harry Sisson and Treasurer Charles T. Fisher. They will make their recom mendation to the club's board of directors. If the bidder rec ommended has been approved by Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick and the American League owners, the Tigers will be sold for $5,000,000 or more. Certainty 3 Years .The sale of the Tigers has been a certainty for about three years, since the trustees of the estate of the late owner Walter O. Briggs Sr., decided the club was not a proper investment for the trust set up by Briggs' will. Spike Briggs then tried to buy the club. But the bid by him and his backers of more than $3,000,000 was not considered enough by his four sisters, who along with Spike are the chief beneficiaries of the trust. Now the board of directors of the club, consisting of the hus bands of the sisters, will have final approval of the buyer, al though they are expected to fol low the club committee's rec ommendation. es WINNING annual freckle contest at Chicago's Free Fair, Kevin Newman, 9, gets trip to New York and other prizes.

The Chain Sawmen edged sec ond place Chris Drugs 2 to 1 in eight innings to boost their third place position to just a half-game behind the Druggists. Guardsmen won 13 to 4 over DeMolay which finished its reg ular season without a victory. The McCulloch nine turned a base on balls and a miscue into its winning run. LaRue Smith, who had homered in the fourth inning for his clubs other mark er, tallied the winning Tun. Chris tied up the fracas in the second on raps by Richardson and Dick Sanford and a walk to Isaacs. Gentry pitched a four hitter for the Sawmen while his club was collecting 10 raps. National Guard utilized time ly hitting and DeMolay errors in its win. The Guardsmen are to play YMCA Ysmen tonight. The tus sle was slated for last night but DeMolay played the Guard in stead. Nine other games remain to be played before the loop slate is complete.

"Of course, I'm not sure if I will get to Melbourne," said the 34-year-old Czech army officer. 'First, I have to qualify for our team." "The trouble with me is that I am getting old. The other boys like Gordon Pirie (England), Vladimir Kutz (Russia), and Sandor Iharos (Hungary), are getting strong." Set 1952 Records Zatopek established himself as the finest Olympic distance run ner in history by winning the 5000 and 10,000 meter races and the 26-mile, 385-yard marathon, all in games record times, in 1952 at Helsinki, Finland. I like to run a maximum of 50 kilometers (31 miles) a day," he said, discussing his preparations for the 1956 games. I've run 60 kilometers only twice this year. But it's not good it's over the possibility of recovery. "You lose speed and feel very, very tired and you lose your ap petite. But 50 kilometers is pos sible, half in the morning and half m the evening." 40 Hopefuls To Contend In Decathlon Crawfordsville, Ind. : (U.R) Uncle Sam's already star-stud- ed Olympic track and field team will be completed here this week end when the three top scorers in the 38th annual National AAU decathlon get the nod for the Melbourne games. Meet Director Owen Hunts man of Wabash college said a field of about 40 hopefuls, prob ably the strongest ever, is set for the 10-event show Friday and Saturday, the toughest, all- round test the athletic world knows. But only a few are given a chance for the title won by the Rev. Bob Richards the past two years and an opportunity to represent the Stars and Stripes in Australia come November. The athlete to beat is Calif ornia's Rafer Johnson, who as a UCLA freshman last year set a world record of 7,983 points. He passed up this event last time.
