China egins to London W Red China's giant, Russian-inspired program for the development of sports is producing its first fruit.

IBL Owner Says Brook Ball Wears By OSCAR FRALEY Tokyo HP) Bill McDonald, wealthy international sportsman from Miami Beach, Fla., disclos ed today that on his return to the United States next week he would take steps to obtain an International League franchise in Brooklyn. "International League officials contacted me just before I left to attend the International Tro phy and Canada Cup golf matches in Tokyo this weekend," McDonald revealed. "I can say that I am definitely interested." Everything would depend, he said, on whether he could make a deal with Walter O'Malley of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who still holds a two-year lease on Ebbets Field. "If I get a franchise, which I am quite certain that I can, and if I can make a sensible deal with O'Malley, there will be baseball in Brooklyn next spring," McDonald asserted. "But I am not going into this thing to use or be used as a club to bid up somebody financially." McDonald, who owns the Tampa team in the Florida State League, said that if his plans went through he probably would hire "one of the old Brooklyn heroes" as manager. It gave rise to speculation that he might make an offer to Jackie Rob inson, who at Brooklyn became the first Negro to play in or ganized baseball. WRIGHT LEADS Pinehurst, N. C.

Good Performers International Olympic Com mittee President Avery Brun dage, after watching a group of Red Chinese athletes perform in the recent International Track and Field championships of Romania at Bucharest, said: "They have made very good per formances. I can see a very great deal of progress in a short time." Star of the group was 20-year-old Peking University stu dent, Miss Tsen Fu Yung, who cleared 5 feet, 8V2 inches (1.74 meters) in the high jump only three-quarters of an inch (0.02 meters less than the world rec ord of America's Olympic win ner Mildred McDaniel. Chinese sports, according to Communist sports magazines reaching here, is patterned en tirely on the Russian setup. The build-up began in 1949 when an "All-Chinese Council for Physi cal Culture and Sport" was cre ated by the Communist regime and given almost unlimited funds, vast powers and orders to make sports popular in China. Trained by Russians During the first years, the council's main activity was to build up an army of coaches and instructors. According to Com munist reports, thousands were sent to the Soviet Union to learn from the Russians. Su preme direction was then taken over by the "Research Commit tee of - Sports Scientists," all of them Russian-trained, and some of them possibly even Russians. According to the Communist sources, Red Chinese athletes have set 19 national records in track arid field alone this year. Here are some of the records, and, in brackets, the place it would have earned the athlete in last Olympics at Melbourne: Men High jump 6 ft. 634 in. (2 meters) by Ma Hsing Lung (6th) place; pole vault 14 ft. 2V in. (4.32 meters) by Csaj I Shu (5th); long jump 24 ft. 3 in. (7.39 meters) by Hoa Shu Kuai (5th); hop, step and jump 50 ft. 4 in.

HP) Anoth er of the four giant 230,000-volt transformers for Idaho Power company's Brownlee dam was on hand for installation today after a tortuous, four-hour journey into the upper reaches of Hells Canyon from the project's rail head. Each of the four transformers will step up the voltage of one of Brownlee's 90,100 - kilowatt generators to 230,000 volts for transmission over a 100-mile line now being built to Boise and a recently completed 42-mile line that will carry power to Baker, Ore., and thence into the North west Power Pool. The new 106-ton transformer began its journey at the project's railhead at Robinette, Ore., where it was hoisted from its specially built railroad flatcar. Then, while the transformer was held aloft, the flatcar was moved away and two "low-boy" diesel trucks, chained together, backed into position to be loaded with the heavy equipment. Once the transformer was tied down with stout cables, the trucks headed into the canyon with their massive burden. The 10-mile journey along the Snake river took the trucks over a sheer-walled, winding road. The four transformers will be installed on the generator deck of Brownlee's powerhouse when the structure is completed next summer. Each will require 10, 950 gallons of cooling oil.

(International Soundphoto) Discovery o Jungle Roa I Lima, Peru An Ameri can explorer has reported the discovery of an ancient jungle road which may provide a "miss ing link" in the history of South America. The archaeological find also may shed light on the evolution of writing, according to George Michanowsky, president of the Amazonia Foundation. For four months, Michanow sky and an Amazonia Founda tion team explored an area northeast of LaPaz, the Boliv ian capital, by plane, mule and foot. Traces Lost Road He said he traced a "lost" road from low tropical jungle to an altitude of about 7,000 feet and beyond into the high Andes. The road, partly cobbled or carved from stone, averages six feet in width. Stairsteps indicate the road builders did not intend the passage for wheels or beasts of burden. 'The road connects the Aymara culture, which had a word for writing but until now, is not thought to have had a written language, to a place where we found symbols carved on stone," said Machanowsky, who stopped here en route to New York City. Subjugated By Incai The ancient Aymaras boasted an advanced culture. One version of history says they were subju gated by the Inca empire in the 13th and 14th centuries. Span iards arrived in the 16th century but found no writing In the area of the extended Inca empire. "Nevertheless," said Machan owsky, "the Aymaras had a word, 'quelcata' meaning 'writ ing.

With cooperation from the Bo livian Air Force and army engi neers, Michanowsky last year found the lost 'river of writing." Along the banks, flat 10-foot square stones bear strange sym bols. Michanowsky calls the sym bols "transitional," marking the obscure period in the history of writing between the picture drawing and the alphabet.

Bill Posedel, manager of the Portland team of the Pacific Coast League, was named to suc ceed him. The Phillies gave no reason for not renewing Wyatt's three-year, SI 5,000 yearly contract. Wyatt came to the Phillies with Smith in 1955 from the Southern Asso ciation where both were mana gers. Although Smith never crit icized Wyatt publicly, it was un derstood they had clashed be hind the scenes over several is sues. Phillies' General Manager Roy Harney indicated the reason for the switch was Posedel's ability rather than Wyatt. Hamey said he was impressed with Pose del's coaching as far back as 1948 when Hamey was general manager for Pittsburgh and Posedel was a Pirate scout and coach. NOW!
