His distance was less than three inches shy of the record Klamath Falls' trio of Glenn Moore, Cliff Sutherland and Chuck Drace, took the high jump with '17-2. Turning Point Many considered the shuttle hurdle race the turning point in Medford's move for victory. The Tornado led 54 to 53 over GP after seven events. Larson ran a terrific anchor to make up lost Tornado ground. He ju s t managed to nip the Grants Pass anchor runner to take the race. The Cavemen lost the eight points they would have gained for second spot for failure to touch off properly on one of the shuttle legs. Medford took a 64 to 53 lead and it proved a safe distance the distance of the last four recorded events. The Tornado almost added the 440 to its firsts. The host run ners lagged after two legs of the race. Terry Hamilton picked up groundt hen Johnn Jones zoom ed out and almost caught GP's anchor Ka.tzenbach. Fred Thomas, Grants Pass had the best high jump of the day, 6-1. Christean was clocked in :50.2 and Russell 50:5 for their laps in the mile relay. RESULTS: 440-yard relay Grants Pass (Pee bles.

Snead birdied his first hole after hooking in the woods but saving himself with a 15-footer on the green. Then he ran into a trio of bogeys from three on through five, three-putting to get stuck with the first two. Then on the fifth he drove into the rough and chipped too short. But the volatile West Virgin ian used his least expected wea pon his putter, to work out a 37 for the first nine with birdies on the seventh and eighth. His back nine was an up and down thing starting with a bog ey ont he 10th where he missed a four-footei. He chipped to within one and one half feet to pick up another birdie on the long 13th, then promptly three putted the 14th. He birdied his favorite hole, the par-five 15th, as usual by getting his No. 3 wood shot on the green in two and holing out nicely in two. But he three-putted from 45 feet to bogey the 17th.

By BILL McFARLAND United Press Sports Writer Scottsdale, Ariz. (U.R) The Baltimore Orioles expect to move up one more rung on the American League ladder to fifth place this year right on sched ule. "We were seventh in 1955, sixth in 1956 and we don't find it far-fetched to believe we'll go into fifth this year," said Mana ger Paul Richards. Then he add ed, "We might even surprise a few by going a notch higher." One rung a year is the long range plan of the jut-jawed manager-general manager, but ' he believes he has the pitching to make the first division immed iately if only his hitters would perk up. "I think we can count on an improvement there," said Paul. "Bob Nieman and Gus Triandos have been hitting the ball well this spring and we have hopes for some of the others." Teammates On Base Both believe they can produce 100 RBIs-this year if their team mates can get on base more often. Those mates include an infield of Bob Boyd at first base, Billy Gardner at second, Willie Mir- 169s0 2 he. tnghw Lo-Ton.

Other racers from northern California and from throughout western Oregon -coXild make a big field for the rivalry in speed and skippering skill. Large entry could mean elimination heats before noon in some events since there is a 12 boat limit for each race. More speed is foreseen this year in the races. A WSA offi cial stated that the drivers this year "have a lot of new equip ment and are realy out moving." The races will be in D hydro plane, service and utility, F hy- dro and B hydro and utility classes. There will be two heats anda at shortstop and George Kell at third base. This is subject to platooning, particularly against left-handed pitching, for Richards has a highly regarded third baseman in 19-year-old Brooks Robinson, who'll get considerable - work possibly with Kell probably switching to first base. Except for Nieman, the out field is somewhat unsettled. Al Pilarcik, a .251 hitter at Kansas City last year, may be the reg ular in center with Dick Wil liams, .286 last year, or Carl Powis, .330 at San Antonio, in right. Others bidding for out field duty include Tito Francona and Jim Pyburn. High On Pitching Richards is high on his pitch ing. None won big last year but he had no disastrous losers, either. Back from last year are Ray Moore, a right hander with a 12-7 record last year; Connie Johnson (9-11), Charlie Beamon, who won his first two starts in an impressive debut near the end of the 1956 season, Don I 0 mu IF YOU'VE USED OTHERS, t TRY THE UGHTEST OF ALL, BIG-TIMBER SAWS...

Morrow, acclaimed the meet's "outstanding performer," kicked his team home in the fastest time ever made around a two-turn track in the 440, only matter of minutes after he set a meet record of 9:3 seconds in becom ing the first runner ever to win three Texas relay crowns in the 100-yard dash.
