and Wilcey Winchell ran with
the prepsters and bettered their
time with a 11:02.
Rex Baggerly, Grants Pass, set
a new distance of 186-4Vi for
the javelin. Stan Lewman was
the other GP mark smasher with
15-5 in the pole vault. Phil Pa
quin, the Cavemen's state champ
vaulter, injured his ankle in
warming up and withdrew from
the event.
The Cavemen also took the
440-relay wth Jim Peebles, Mar
vin Terry, Bill Katzenbach and
Jim Klett carrying the baton.
Hardy Spurgeon, Marshfield,
won the discus. 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.

a 69 and Ward a 71 for 215 totals
with Leonard.
Snead is a three-time winner

Masters
Ed Furgol, Sherman, Calif.,
shot a par 72 and was in third
position at 216.
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.

Baltimore Orioles Expect
To Move Up On Schedule
(This is the 161h in a series
on the 1957 prospects of lha
major league clubs.)
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-

SPEEDBOAT REGATTA
have two or three boats, it was
indicated.
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

Bobby Morrow Leads
Annual Texas Relays
Austin, Tex. (iUR Flashy
Bobby Morrow, track's "Golden

Sat-'rday in the 30th annual
Texas relays as he anchored Abi

40.2 second run in the quarter
mile relay, equalling the accept
ed world record.
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.
Ferrarese (4-10), Bill Wight 9

Skinny Brown (9-7) and Erv
Palica (3-11).
For relief, the Orioles count
chiefly on George Zuverink (7
6), Sandy Consuegra (2-3) and,
if he recovers from a chronic
arm ailment, Billy Loes.
"This is an important year in
our growth,"' said Richards. "We
have a lot of new talent on the
club and I'm sure we're right on
schedule."
