Ted Williams Fined $5,000 for Spitting Brooklyn (U.R) The Brook lyn Dodgers were amazed today over the size of the $5,000 fine meted out against Ted Williams for his spitting incidents in Bos ton. "That's amazing," said Jackie Robinson, "That's a lot of money. We're wondering if he'll pay it." "I wouldn't be surprised if the league took some action, too," said Gil Hodges. "They've got to protect baseball." "You have to know the whole story before you draw any con clusions," said Duke Snider, who occasionally has been involved in incidents with fans himself. Br JOE PHELAN United Press Sports Writer Boston U.PJ Ted Williams, so angry over a record-equalling $5,000 fine for misconduct that he threatened to repeat his spit ting gestures again, declared to day "I'm not a damn bit sorry for what I did." General Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox fined him the $5,000 Tuesday for two spitting incidents in a tight 11' inning game with the New York Yankees in which Williams sent over the winning run by draw ing a bases-loaded walk. Then to complete his definace of the fans and the Boston sports writers with whom he has feuded per sistently, he threw his bat 25 feet into the air before going down to first base. California Girl Nabs Skeet Toga Reno, Nev. OJ.PJ An 18- year old California girl defeated the nation's top woman shooter Tuesday to score the second m Jor upset in as many days in the National Skeet Tournament. Dark-haired Judy Allen of Oakland scored 97x100 in the regular .28 gauge competition to tie Mrs. Carola Mandel of Chi cago, who holds most of the country's woman's skeet shoot ing records. A two-field, 50-target shoot off had to be held to determine the winner. In the first field, both fired 24x25, but Miss Allen scored 25 in the second as Mrs. Mandel dropped two targets. Chet Crites of Detroit, presi dent of the National Skeet Shoot ing association, defeated Jaime Loyola of San Juan, Puerto Rico, in a shoot-off for the .28 gauge championship. 1 a spit again on the same people who booed me," he said in his hotel suite after figuring out Tuesday night that the $5,000 fine would cost him ap proximately one-eighth of his take home pay on a $100,000 salary. "I wouldn't be at the ball park tomorrow if I could afford $5,000 fines," he said. The fine equaled the heaviest ever assessd against a ball play er. Babe Ruth was fined $5,000 in 1925 by Yankee Manager Miller Huggins for "misconduct off the field." Changed His Tune Williams was quoted earlier by Cronin as saying "I was sorry the minute I did it I can t ex plain the reason for it." But he had changed his tune when he reached his hotel. His anger reached a peak in the game when a few of the fans in the record-breaking crowd of 36,304 booed him for dropping Mickey Mantle s wind-tossed fly ball in the Yankee half of the 11th for a two-base error. The majority of the fans were on their feet applauding him for his splendid catch against the left-field wall of Yogi Berra's towering clout minutes later. But the tempermental veteran, who had got away without any official reprimand the previous occasions, apparently chose to hear only the boos and let go with a distinct spit at the stunned onlookers as he ap proached the Red Sox dugout. Then, evidently to insure that his intentions were not to be mistaken, Williams spit once more and followed with a men acing gesture from the enclosure though only his hand and fore arm were visible above the roof. SLAM-BANG SCRAP Chicago (U.R) A slam-bang lightweight scrap, probably end ing short of its scheduled 10 rounds, was promised today by L. C. Morgan and Toothpick Brown, who scrap for television in the Chicago stadium tonight. Both scrappers possess knockout ability. Morgan, beaten twice in 16 pro outings, has finished nine opponents in his 14 wins, while Brown, with 23 wins in 28 fights, has scored 13 knockouts. The U.S. Army officially de fines the salute as a formal mark of honor, respect or cour tesy to a person of a higher rank, to a flag, or to a high official. Saluting distance is prescribed at between six and 30 paces. Want Inexpensive Transportation?

CRATER LAKE MOTORS MAIN & FIR PHONE 3-4547 "Where Good Service Is A Must' Sacs Tip Suds Again; Luis' Night Spoiled As SF Licks Beavers Br John Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer The Seattle Rainiers had their backs to the wall today and the wall showed signs of crumbling' as the Los Angeles Angels chug eed away toward the Pacific Coast League pennant. The Rainiers, blessed with the loop's best pitching, couldn't get any runs for Bud Podbielan last night and the up-and-down Sac ramento Solons made it four in a row against the Suds. The 2-0 defeat put the Rainiers 8V4 games from the top. And with ace Larry Jansen, who went up to the Cincinnati Redlegs, out of the picture, it will take an over-powering stretch drive to catch the Angels now. Late Scoring The Cherubs saved their pow er until the late innings as they scored three times in the ninth to crush Hollywood 7-3. San Francisco battered Portland for 17 hits and a 9-3 victory, and San Diego and Vancouver split a twin-bill with George Bam berger twirling a five-hit shut out for a 7-0 Meuntie win in the opener, and the Pads capturing the nightcap, 4-1 behind Arnie Sweeney Rounds Out Star Squad Portland (U.R) Bill Sweeney, manager of the North team in the Pacific Coast League's all- star game here next Monday night, completed selection of his 18-man squad today.

Sweeney named Howie Judson, another Rainier righthander, to replace him. Others picked by Sweeney in cluded Harry Bright of Sacra mento and Kal Segrist of Van couver, infielders; Art bchult, Seattle, and Tommy Saffell, Portland, outfielders; Ray Or- teig, Seattle, catcher, and Rene Valdes, Portland; Reinold Duren, Vancouver; and Bud Podbielan, Seattle, pitchers.

May Indictments Back in Courts Portland U.R) Grand jury indictments of last May charging illegal wire taping, nearly for gotten in the wake of grand jury indictments returned last week, were back in the Multnomah county court yesterday. James B. Elkins, the subject of 13 of last week's grand jury indictments, was named in one of the May grand jury reports. The raid, staged by county po lice, was later ruled illegal. The grand jury which pre ceded the panel which conducted the full blown vice probe under the direction of Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton, charged Elkins and his employee, Ray mond F. Clark, with wire tap ping after a series of alleged wire tap recordings were confis cated in the raid on a duplex in southeast Portland. Also taken in the raid were a number of slot machines. Clark and Sunny Martin were indicted on charges of illegal possession of the machines. Judge Frank J. Lonergan gave the three defendants until next Tuesday to enter pleas to the charges. Automatic Retireme:'. of Prison Warden Waived Salem (U.R) The board of control has waived the automatic retirement of Warden Clarence Gladden, 62. By their action the board made it possible for the warden to remain in command of Oregon State prison until he is 71. Gladden came to Oregon to put the riot-torn institution on an even keel three years ago after his retirement from the federal prison system.

Atkins" three-hitter. Roger Osenbaugh (8-10) blank ed Seattle with a tight five-hit job and Jake Crawford's solo homer in the sixth paced the Solon win. Sacramento iced it with another run in the sev enth when Osenbaugh singled in Joe Koppe. Right hander Dave Hillman got his 15th win against four setbacks when the Angels broke a 3-3 deadlock with a run in the eighth and then shelled Hol lywood starter Luis Arroyo from the hill -with three in the ninth. Bilko Hits Angel right fielder Jim Bol ger drove in four runs and big Steve Bilko snapped a batting slump with three singles in five trips. The Stars' Gene Freese homered in the fifth.

Max Surkont effectively scattered eight hits and contributed a three-run homer to get the Seals off to a lead in the second. Sur kont (4-5) struck out eight. Marquez packed off a wagon load of loot as the Beaver fans gave him a night, and got a pair of singles and scored one of the Beavers three runs. Arnie Atkins became San Diego's first 10 game winner.
