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. He said Bob Sea
man would start for the Bruins

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.
Lincoln's only run resulted
from the only walk Barnes gave
up, along with an error and a
stolen base. 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

Losing pitcher was Barry.

sitter Pat O'Connor, Indianan
"favorite son" candidate in the

Ind., hot-shot will lead 33 roar
ing roadsters into the richest
auto race of all time a jack
pot expected to top $300,000.
"When you start near the front
you run as fast as you can with
out exerting the car," he said.
"However much depends on how
fast the other guys are going."
O'Connor was the fifth quali
fier when time trials opened
May 18, He cruised around the
brick and asphalt oval in a new
car owned by Chapman Root,
Terre Haute, Ind., at an average
clip of 143.948 miles per hour
second only in the field to
Paul Russo in the powerful Novi
which qualified a week later.
"I had in mind winning the
pole," said O'Connor, "but I
didn't really know I had it until
it rained." He implied, however,
that his speed would have been
topped in good weather.
