The Wenatchee Chiefs bolted
back into first place in the
Northwest league Sunday on the
strength of their eighth straight
win over Yakima.
Wenatchee drubbed the visit

other circuit doubleheaders, Tri

At Eugene, the Emeralds saw
their first place in the league

Clean Sweep
Slovak, driving with a devil-

ed his foes during two days of
competition. He won his first
heat Saturday, averaging better
than 95 miles an hour. He won
a second heat yesterday with a
clocking of more than 98 mph
and the championship heat at 94
mph on the slightly choppy, ice
cold waters of Lake Tahoe.
The 'Miss Thriftway of Se
attle finished second in the final
standings followed by the Ha'
waii Kai of Seattle, and the Miss
Bardahl, also a Seattle boat.
There was Some confusion in
the final race. Miss Thriftway,
who had finished second in two
qualifying heats, took the lead,
at the starting gun aided by
the fact that she beat the gun
across the starting line. For this
she was forced to go an extra
lap, but even if she had been
declared the winner, she would
not have had enough points to
oust Miss Wahoo as the overall
winner.
Kai Also Wins
The Hawaii Kai also won its
two preliminary heats and it
was expected to hook in a duel
in the finals with the Miss Wa
hoo. But pilot Jack Regas could
get no power when the chips
were down, and finally had to
quit after staggering through
seven of the 10 laps in the finals
Thirteen boats, including the

two breathless speedsters from

Hebert Defeats Finsterawld
In Finals of PGA Tournament
By LEO H. PETERSON
United Press Sports Editor
Dayton, Ohio Ofi The big
gest gamble Lionel Hebert ever
made pr.id off today with the
PGA golf championship.
The 29-year-old golfer from
the bayou country of Louisana
gave up his job as a club pro at
Erie, Pa., a year ago, determined
"to make a name for myself."
He did it Sunday when he de
feated the 27-year-old Dow Fin
sterwald of Athens, Ohio, 2 and
1, in the 36-hole final match for
the $8,000 first-place money that
goes to the winner of this five
day match play grind.
And he did it like a champion,
too. Having breakfast with his
brother Jay, who is five years
older, on Wednesday before tee
ing off in the first round, he
promised, "I'm going to win this
one."
He did while Jay finished
seventh a difference of $6,500.
Credits Jay
"But I owe anything I'll ever
be in golf to Jay," Hebert added.
"He encouraged me and kept
me going. Then I decided being
a club pro was never going to
make me rich so I gave up my
job in Erie, because it limited
me to playing only the winter
tour, and decided to go all out.
I decided I'd make a name for
myself in. this game I love and
if I didn't, well, I could always
go back to bookkeeping."
He chose golf over both music
and bookkeeping, and today he's
glad he did.
Driving well, and using a put
ter which he only picked up
after arriving in Dayton on Mon
day, he was six under par as he
closed out the lanky Finsterwald
Sunday over the sun-baked 6,-773-yard
Miami Valley golf
course.
