MEDFORBvI&TRIBUNK SIPODIBTS Suspended Man In Tournament Hamburg, Germany (IP) The Hamburg Tennis Guild has asked tne u. S. Lawn Tennis Associa- tion to permit suspended Hugh Stewart of San Marino, Calif., to continue competing in the cur rent German International Championships. Stewart was suspended by the USLTA yesterday for remaining in Europe after the conclusion of the Wimbledon championships nd playing in tournaments on the continent without permis- non. The Guild said it had not re ceived word of Stewart's suspen sion until after the conclusion of yesterday's program, during which the 29-year-old Califor- nian teamed with Sven Davidson of Sweden to defeat the Yugo slav pair of Panajotovic and Ple- cevic, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3, in doubles Stewart already has been elimi nated from the singles competition. European tennis associations have reciprocal agreements with the USLTA to honor each other's rulings, so Stewart's suspension prohibits him from competing in any amateur tournaments in the United States or abroad until the action is revoked. Birdie Glum, Has Hopes Yet Milwauk, Wis. m The ushar at the club house door said "Birdie wasn't talking." That couldn't be true. But once Inside the Cincin nati Redlegs' dressing room, the quiet was proof of the usher's warning. George (Bir die) Tebbetts, his team in fourth place five games out of the lead, wasn't talUng not much anyway. "Don't count us out yet," he said. "We'll be in this thing (the pennant race) when the bell rings in September." "And we'll beat Milwaukee doing it." he said. It was pointed out the Red legs won only two of 1 1 games with the Braves. - "We've got 11 more to play" he said. Tebbetts said his choice of left-handed pinch-batter Smo key Bijess against southpaw Warren Spahn in the ninth Inning of last night's 5-4 loss to Milwaukee "was logical." The Redlegs scored two runs. and had runner on first and second with two men out. "He's the best batter $i the. country in tnat situation leo betts said. Burgess struck out.

Mayflower Designer Finds Work Really Only Starting Portland HP) Dwaine Brandt pitched the second no-hit, no run game of the state AABC tournament Tuesday night as his Beaverton Showboat team de feated Portland Celtics 7-0. Blue Lake defeated Sellwood-More- land 5-0 in the other game. Quincy, Mass. (IP) Naval architect William A. Baker found that his connection with the Mayglower II did not end with designing this replica of the Pilgrims' original Mayflower of 337 years ago. He's been constantly on the go this year making personal ap pearances, filling speaking en gagements, showing color slides of the vessel and so on as inter est mounted with the tiny ship's voyage from England to Ply mouth, Mass. Baker, who lives in nearby Hingham and is a naval archi tect for the Bethlehem Steel Company's shipyard here, for years has followed a hobby of researching the origin and con struction of early wooden ships. He received the St. Olav medal from Norway for his plans which made possible restora tion of polar explorer Roald Amundsen's ship, Gjoa, a de cade ago. When some historically mind ed residents of the Boston area organized Plimouth (sic) Plan tation, Inc., to reconstruct the original Pilgrim colony, it was decided a replica of the May flower was essential. No Records Baker arrived in Quincy in 1950 after working in the San Francisco yard of Bethlehem, and, because of his success with the Gjoa, he was asked to pre pare plans for the Mayflower. There was little to be found in the records about the original Man Lost Two Weeks Makes Way To Safety Easton, Wash. (IP) Army Lt. Robert Hayashida, 30, Minnea polis, missing nearly two weeks in the rugged Cascade moun tains, walked pnto U.S. Highway 10 eight miles east of here Tues day, safe but extremely tired and hungry. Hayashida told residents that he became, lost July 26 after leaving his car near a lake in the Cle Elum area, 10 miles southeast of here, preparatory to a fishing vacation. The lieutenant, on furlough from the Yakima Firing Center, said he was laid up two days with a sprained ankle. He was limping slightly when he was picked up by a road construc tion foreman who broueM him here. Governor of Maine To Speak in Portland Portland (IPI Gov. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine will speak here Sept. 28 at the Oregon Democratic party's annual Jefferson- Jackson day dinner, it was announced today. Use Mail Tribune Want Ada The Low Cost Way to Sell Items You No Longer Need Mayflower details of construc tion. Baker and his wife spent many months going through hundreds of books and pamph lets. They finally found a re ally useful item in an old ship builder's notebook covering the period Irom 1540 to 1610, ap proximately the time the May flower was built. The author, oddly enough, was named Math ew Baker. Finally ready to go to work, Baker taught himself to use the drafting tools of ancient ship designers, mainly the compass and a straight-edge. "Since the compass was used so extensively," he explained "the wooden hulls of those early ships were all contour, or shape, just like a wineglass. It would not have done any good to have used modern drawing methods as they would have destroyed completely the character of the hull." "A Good Ship" Meanwhile, some people in Britain had the idea of building a Mayflower replica and sailing her to America, as a good-will gesture, but they, too, found the designing problem immense. Then they heard about Baker's designs, and arrangements were made for them to be turned over to Stuart Upham of Brixham, Eng., who built the vessel. Baker's final set of drawings required nearly 3,000 hours of work. After his first set of lines, he felt he could do a better job with the compass if he destroyed the plans and redrew them. He did the same with the second and third sets before finally ap proving his fourth for submission to the builder. After the lines plan was completed, the struc tural and other plans were rel atively e&sy. Baker calls his baby "a good ship, able to sail anywhere un der any conditions. It's amaz ing how much those early-day shipbuilders knew about de sign." The new Mayflower's only concessions to the modern age are water tanks instead of bar rels, an oil-burning range in stead of a wood fireplace, ra dar screen, inflatable life rafts, radio, and electric lights dnven by a small diesel generator and a bank of batteries. ' Bake's greatest thrill occur red last April when he held the wheel for an hour during actual sea trials, "when the Mayflow er II really came alive." FAVORITE DRILLED Atlantic City, N. J (IP) Dedi cate, the pre-race favorite for Saturday's $100,000 Atlantic City Handicap, will be given a lengthy drill today.
