T. Courtney Said Fastest U.S. Miler Los Angeles OP! Franz Stampfl, famous European track coach, says he thinks Tom Court ney has the best chance of be coming the first American to break the four-minute-mile bar rier. "I think Courtney has the equipment to become the first American to run under four min utes," Stampfl told Southern Cal ifornia track and field writers yesterday. Stampfl, who now handles Australia's miler Merv Lincoln aid he was tremendously Im pressed by Courtney's perform ance in last Friday night's Coli seum Relays when the half mil er set a new world's record of 1:46.8 in the 880. While expressing faith in Courtney, however, Stampfl said h thought Lincoln would "run fast enough to win" in the Comp ton, Calif., Invitational meet on Friday night. He said he wouldn't be sur prised to see the four-minute mile broken at Compton, despite the failures of some of the world's top milers to do it so far in- California meets. Coach Elvin (Ducky) Drake of UCLA agreed with Stampfl. He predicted the Compton mile would equal John Landy's world record of 3:58.

MEDFORD BLOW PIPE, INC. 240 EAST McANDREWS Phone SP 3-6294 A quorum of American league owners already has decided on the affable Cronin, it was said, and his post will be taken over by Assistant General Manager Stanley (Bucky) Harris. - "This will be denied all over the place but wait until Decem ber and see what happens," the spokesman asserted. Not Robust Supporting the revelation is the fact that the 72-year-old Har ridge, president of the league for 26 years, has not been robust and previously has contemplated, retirement. Cronin, elected to baseball's Hall of Farr e in Janu ary, 1956, is 50. Cronin, if elected as expected, would be the league's fourth president. And the quiet San Francisco Irishman, an able ad ministrator, would supply the same type of executive leader ship as the spare and silent Har ridge. The one major difference be tween them, is that Harridge never played a game of ball in his life and Cronin was a 20-year man in the major leagues. Jeff Wins 4th Straight Jefferson won its fourth vic tory against no defeats in the city grade school baseball cir cuit yesterday, dropping Lincoln 5 to 1 as Mike Barnes threw an other no-hitter.

Jeff got three of its markers in the fourth stanza on two bases on balls, an error, a fielder's option and bits by Mike Watkins and Peter Hin man. Barnes chalked up eight strikeouts. In other league action Wash ington topped Roosevelt 6-3 to retain second place in the cir cuit. Wolf was the winning pitcher and Iverson took the loss. Mike G lines hurled Jackson school to a 6-4 win over West side in another league game. Losing pitcher was Barry.
