Mounty Victory Rally Sparked By john Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer In a day of power baseball, the big inning and the home run, shrewd old Lefty O'Doul, dean of Pacific Coast league man agers, will still beat you with brains and brazen base running if you give him an Inch. O'Doul's Vancouver Mounties loaded the bases in the ninth Friday night with the score knotted at 3-3. Lefty flashed the steal sign and Angelo Dagres sped across the plate on the front end of the triple steal. Three More Huns The Mounties went on to score three more times in the frame Anne Quast Defeats Lesser for Golf Title Hunginton, W. Va. (U.R) Medalist Anne Quast, finishing as hot as her record-breaking start, defeated defending cham pion Pat Lesser, 4-3, Saturday to win the 56th Women's West ern Amateur Golf tournament. The 18-year-old University of Washington sophomore, young est girl ever to win the tourna ment, gained revenge for three previous defeats by Miss Lesser, who also won the the National Amateur last year. Miss Quast, of Everett, Wash., went ahead to stay on the 210 yard 25th hole on the scheduled ed 36-hole match when she sank a 10-foot putt for a birdie two. Hot putting and cool nerve kept her ahead of her 22-year-old Seattle, Wash., opponent the rest of the way.

Count of Honor, a colt that made his first start at the races 1 only five weeks ago, raced to an easy win by a better than three lengths Saturday in the ?87.250 Westerner at Hollywood park for his fifth straight victory-. The son of Count Fleet not only ran in a mile and a quar ter race for the first time in his brief career but his time of 1:59- 2 3 broke the mark for the stakes set last year by the great Swaps. And Count of Honor had hardly crossed the finish line when the crowd of 50.000 fans immediately tabbed him as an other Swaps. The record for the Westerner set last year was 2:00-3 5 by Swaps but it was a question whether Swaps won any more easily than Count of Honor did Saturday. Social Climber, a stretch-running son of Your Host, closed from far off the pace to finish second while Terrang was third and Count Chic was fourth in the field of 1 1 colts. The nation's leading Stakes rider, Eddie Arcaro, flew here from New York to ride Count of Honor in the Westerner af ter Johnny Longden, who had ridden him to four straight wins, was suspended last week and Gene had to give up the mount. Hank Aaron Gives Punch To Braves By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Milwaukee Braves get great pitching from just about anybody Fred Haney calls on, but its Hank Aaron who gives them their day-to-day "punch." Only 22 years old, the slender Aaron has developed into the "solid man" of the team. Joe Adcock, Ed Mathews and Johnny Logan break out in rashes of hits at times but Aaron keeps driving toward what he believes will be his first National league batting title. Aaron has been belting the ball at a .455 clip 'this month. In the last 21 games he has lifted his average from .293 to a league-leading .337 mark. Hank was at it again Friday night when tJie Braves drubbed the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-0, behind Bob Buhl's two-hitter. Hank smashed a two-run homer and collected two other hits to drive in a total of four runs in pacing the Braves to their 10th win in 11 games. and then held off a San Diego rally to turn back the Pads 7-5. O'Doul has had to beat 'em on brains with his weak-hitting last place Mounties most of the cam paign. But don't give up on Lefty yet. With a revamped in field and steadier pitching the Mounties have now copped eight of their last 12 games. With Lefty "out-guessing 'em" they could pull themselves out of the PCL cellar yet. hole when Miss Lesser hit over the green and was forced to take a bogey five while Miss Quast got in with a pair four to go four up.

Miss Quast, who was the youngest girl ever to qualify for ; the United States Amateur at the age of 15 in 1952 was only I five over par for 115 holes she' played in the tournament. Miss Lesser was five over for the 33 holes today. In gaining the crown, Miss Quast defeated three state cham pions in a row, Meriam Bailey of Illinois, Anne Richardson of Ohior and Berri Long of Hunt ington, W. Va. 3-4564 Sundar.

He said he intends to meet with team managers this week to discuss the play-off arrange ments. Under the play-off plan con templated by Barnum.

The Lithia nine Sportscribes Not Forced to Wear Tuxes Toronto (U.R Promoter Jack Solomons Saturday denied he would force sports writers to wear tuxedos at the Archie Moore - James Parker fight here Wednesday night. But writers who fail to turn out in sartorial splendor risk the curled lip and raised eye brows of scorn if they don't con form. Toronto sportswriters were not phased when told tactfully "it would be nice" if they don ned white or black tuxedos, black bow ties and black cum merbunds for the 15-round hea vyweight bout. Sports scribes in the United States, however, were a mite flabbergasted. New York writers at first guf fawed at the "dress after six" order. "It won't go six," said one. "That's not what it means," explained another. "It means you gotta wear soup and fish at the ringside." "Nertz!" said the qther. Eng lish promoter Solomons, making his debut in Canada, hastened to assure the press corps that the dress for the fight was op tional. "I would be delighted if the sports writers and the fans in the first 15 rows would show up in dress clothes," he said. "It would be like a first nighter at the opening of a play on Broadway or London if those in the $20 seats and writ ers were dressed in dinner jack ets and evening gowns." The scribes are expected to slip into their ringside seats in full fashion.. 1956 -14th ANNUAL ROGUE RIVER AND PARADE Frday, Saturday, and Sunday August 10-11-12 POSSE GROUNDS - MEDFORD Sponsored By Jackson County Mounted Sheriff's Posse NOTICE OF PARADE ENTRY BLANK FRIDAY, 4pm Horse Parade Saturday 2 pm General Parade PLEASE CHECK THE TYPE OF ENTRY YOU WISH TO HAVE.

He branded a recent state ment by Olympic President Av ery Brundage, that amateurs even thinking of going profes sional should be barred from the Olympics, as "ridiculous and old-fashioned." "I hate to see amateurs dis couraged from continuing in their own sports because of a ridiculous ruling such as that," he said. Jenkins said "I qualified for the last Olympics in March, nearly 11 months before the games. Not once, until we assem bled in New York, did I ever get a letter, training instructions or so much as a 'hi' from the Olympic committee." He added, "when you see the elaborate preparations made by other countries, it makes you wonder what our committee is doing."
