C. (IP) Young Bob Goalby gave up three baseball bonus offers to become a professional golfer, and the payoff started Sunday with a stunning win and $2000 in the 21st annual Greater Greensboro Open golf tournament. It was the first tournament win for the little-known 27- year-old athlete who gave up his golf pro job at Darien, Conn., only two weeks ago after deciding it was "now or never" with him and circuit golf. Goalby fired a brilliant fi nal round 66, five under par, for a 72-hoIe 275. He was two strokes ahead of the closely- bunched field who combined at Starmount Forest Country Club course for one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the $15,000 event Puller Does II Goalby, who had been trail ing Sam Snead of White Sul phur Springs, W. Va., by four strokes at the 54-hole mark, tapped his putter and said: "This is what did it." Snead had to settle for a $1,080 share of the second place pot. Others in -the second-place spot at 277 were Dow Finster wald of Tequesta, Fla., Art Wall Jr. of Pocono Manor, I Pa., Tony Lema of Napa, Calif., and Don January of Eastland, Tex., whose amaz ing final-round 64 tied the course record.

"""" ' as for a batting chamDion. how can you beat a "perfect" record like that of Bosox slueaer Ted Williams? The Red Sox, who have been described by Yankees manager Casey Stengel as the rival he fears most in this year's American league pen nant chase, made Or Case look good by winning 16 out of 22 games against major league opposition this spring for a .727 winning percent age. That's a comfortable lead over the brand-new San Fran cisco Giants, who had the second best record a 21-11 won-lost record for a .656 per centage that topped all other National league teams. Better Than Yankees And it's a whole lot better than the losing 14-16 record of Stengel's Yankees. The world champion Milwaukee Braves were third in the spring standings with a .571 average, while the two Chi cago clubs, Cubs and White Sox, tied for fourth at .563. And how about that Wil liams' Sheer perfection. He went to bat only five times all spring socked two hom ers, singled once, and waiKea twice. An ankle injury pre vented the amazing 39-year-old American league batting champion from playing more often and makes him a doubt ful starter for today's big game in Washington against the Senators. creaking veteran 30-year-crown has to go to another Women's Golf Rogue Valley Country club lady golfers on Thursday, April 17, will have first play on the RVWG trophy.

Baby was Tornado Performance Has Bright Spots Despite 7th Place In Hayward Relays A disappointed Medford high track and field team, which finished well down from the top Saturday in the Hayward relays at Eugene, came home determined to prove in the weeks to come that it is still a squad to be reckoned with in Oregon cin der circles. Medford, after six straight championships, was seventh in the Hayward metro divi sion won by Jefferson of Port land. The Haywards ended relay meet competition for the Black Tornado and ahead are the meets in which the stress will be on individual efforts to pick up points. Medford in the forthcoming weeks will gird for defense of district and state A-l championships won last year. Next on the agenda for the Tornado is the annual Rotary club meet at Grants Pass. It will be the first opportunity to see how Medford cinder men rank as individual per formers among prep trackmen in this area. The Haywards gave indica tion that there is bright hope for - Medford in the future Coach Dean Benson pointed to some disappointments at Eugene. But there were bright spots. He felt that the Tor nado, as a whole, performed well and that juniors and sophomores on the squad are to be reckoned with in the meets to come. Strong Array At the Eugene engagement the Tornado ran into "too many horses" from other com petiting schools. Some opinion was voiced that Medford's strong team of 1957 might not have won the Haywards had it faced the array of talent this year's club was up against at the University of Oregon oval Among the Medford indi vidual efforts Saturday was a 20-foot 11-inch broad jump by Leonard Griggs. It was the best jump of the sophomore's career and one of the best in this district, George Koch went 6 feet in the high jump topping by one-fourth inch his leap . in the interclass meet, Jerry Shults jumped 5-10 for his best effort. Koch is a jun ior and Shults a sophomore. John Harvey, junior, went 12 feet, and Skip Bennett sophomore, 11 feet, in the pole vault. Senior Mike Russell was clocked in :49.9 in his leg of the mile relay, which was felt to be close to accurate timing although other watches had him at :50.1 and :51 even. He ran his leg in the distance medley in :50.1 Hill Runs 2:01 Sophomore Bruce Hill had a 2:01 time in the "half-mile portion of the medley, his best clocking. Medford runners improved cheerful. (International) CONCRETE C? I 248 E. McAKDREWS RD. Phone SP 2-5271 on Rogue refay times in both the 440 and mile events on Saturday yet finished only sixth in the 440 and did not place in the mile. They ran the 440 in :45 flat and the mile in 3:33. The Tornado passed the baton out of zones twice in the 880 relay and was dis qualified in that event. Crater high also will enter the GP Rotary test. The Com ets were second in Class A of the Haywards, well behind the winner, Cottage Grove in total points. Coach Ed Knapp said that he was "naturally disappoint ed" that the Comets did not make a closer battle of it. He remarked, however, that his second look saw a more en couraging picture, with the realization that some 17 of the Crater scantclads had not previously participated in such a big meet. He has an overall inexperienced squad. B. IF.
