    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.

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,

Miss DeVoe defeated Irene

Miss Kabler won from Mrs. D.

and Miss DeMoss conquered

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.

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

ment. Williams was coach at Lin
coln High school from 1929 to
1941. He retired from the high
school coaching spot in 1941 but

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.

night in games at th high school
field.
The Chain Sawmen edged sec

half-game behind the Druggists.
Guardsmen won 13 to 4 over
DeMolay which finished its reg

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

Chris tied up the fracas in the
second on raps by Richardson

for the Sawmen while his club
was collecting 10 raps.
National Guard utilized time

in its win.
The Guardsmen are to play

Czech Star
To Bid for
Games Spot
Prague, Czechoslovakia (U.R)
Emil Zatopek admits he's "get
ting old" and, in addition, must
spend the next month recuperat
ing from a hernia operation, but
the record-breaking triple Olym
pic champion of 1952 still hopes
to compete in this year's Olym
pic Games.
"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.
Only 150 oil wells have ever
been drilled below 15,000 feet.
