Roster of Florists Has All-Americans; 0 ' Play Maids Roster of the Erv Lind Flor ists of Portland, who play the Rogue Valley 'Dairy Maids Mile Heats Slated in AAU Track By DON REED United Press International Bakersfield, Calif. (UPI) A memo to milefootracers, particularly young Herb Elli ott of Australia: The National AAU Track and Field Championships in Bakersfield's Memorial Stadi um offers the golden oppor tunity of achieving a new first sub four minute miles on consecutive nights of June 20-21. Of course, the fans would be overjoyed if one of the mile events or both re sulted in a world mark. Meet Director J. B. Cap Haralson said today about two dozen entries are expect ed for the mile, necessitating two heats of 10 or 12 run ners on the first night with the top six from each heat going into the finals, the fol lowing night. "I've notified the Australian boys Elliott and Merv Lin coln and the others that this is planned," said Haralson. "They have agreed to abide by the wishes of the AAU and the rules set up for the meet." Naturally, Haralson is breathless over the prospects. Elliott is the world's best miler now competing and his prime endeavor in this coun try is to post the fastest mark. Possible Double "It'll be up to the runners, but I can foresee a chance that Elliott will go for a new mark the first night if condi tions are right," Haralson said. "Therefore, it is possible the final night he could make a run for it again if similar conditions prevail." Haralson conceded there also is the possibility that Elliott will only use the heat race as a warmup for the final as he could undoubtedly qualify with a so-so time of 4:10. The director also issued a warning to Don Bowden, Cali fornia miler who is America's only sub-four minute man. If he desires to make the Rus sian trip, his best chance to qualify would be in the mile. "The 880 is going to be a real good field," Haralson said. "I realize that Don is very good at the half-mile but I believe he will have less chance of making the squad there than in the mile." Al Weill Plans for Title Bout By NICK BECK United Press International Los Angeles (UPI) A1 Weill, an opportunist who managed four world cham pions and then managed to se ver connections with the In ternational Boxing club, went ahead today with plans for Los Angeles' first heavy weight championship bout since 1939. Weill, apparently with the blessing of Cus d'Amato, man ager of Champion Floyd Pat terson, announced Wednesday that he hoped to co-promote such a contest with the Hol lywood American Legion Sta dium. He said although no oppo nent had'et Been selected, it would probably be ither Roy Harris, Zora Folley or Willie Pastrano. Quick Denial The Legion, or at least its matchmaker, Jackie Leonard, was quick to deny any connec tion with Weill's scheme. But local boxing men were of the opinion that the stadium's board of control, and not Leonard, was quick to deny any, connection with Weill's scheme. But local boxing men were of the opinion that the stadium's board of control, and not Leonard, would make such' a decision. Leonard, known to be on friendly terms with the IBC, had been mentioned as a pos sible successor to Billy Brown, who recetnly resigned as IBC matchmaker. D'Amato's almost legendary hatred of the IBC has been the key to Patterson's inactivity since July, 1957, when he knocked out Olympic cham pion Pete Rademacher in Se attle. Since then he has re fused to cooperate with any manager or promoter connect ed with the organization. Sunday softball team on Sunday night, is similar to that of last year and includes three.. All America players. The two teams clash at 8:00 p.m. at Veterans Administra tion Memorial stadium, Camp White. It will be the home opener for the Maids against women's competition. Lois Williams, Hap Piper and Margaret Dobson are the Florists who've gained All American. Lois received such recognition six times as a catcher and is now playing first base. Margaret, a third baseman, is' five times All America and Hapj an outfield er, won the honor in 1956. t Miss Williams was named Miss Softball in 1948 and most valuable player in the 1950 world title tourney. Miss Piper is a long ball swatter and capable drag bunter. Miss Dobson has speed and one of the best throwing arms in women's softball. She was the leading hitter and most out standing player in the open world tourney of 1952 and also was crowned Miss Soft ball in the National Softball congress world meet. Locke Mainstay Another of the Linds, out fielder Elizabeth Lodke, a Florist mainstay since 1946, was named most outstanding in the 1952 NSC meet. She can drive the ball long and fair and has a strong and ac curate arm. Noreen Stoddart is a new comer to the Linds this season after four years with the Van couver, B.C., western Cana dian champions for four years. She can handle any position well and has been proving her worth this season. ' Among those with the squad last year and back this season are Pearl Pinion, pitcher; B e v Wadsworth, catcher; Carolyn Fitzwater, second base; Delores Price, outfielder; Sherry Larson, all around player; Darla Logan, pitcher, and ' Jackie Rice, pitcher. , William Harvey in 1628 was the first to explain the system of circulation of the blood.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Tulsa, Okla. (UPI) The cream of the nation's golfers started out after the U.S. Open championship today in what former king Lloyd'Mangrum described as "the greatest pressure tournament of them all" with Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, the sentimental favor ites, facing the toughest task of their storied careers. "There's no doubt they are under more pressure than any of the other 160 golfers in the fieldV' the 1946 Open win ner declared. "Sam is likely to feel it more than anybody else. - "I don't care what Hogan says, he's got. to be' thinking and shaking. at the thought that he can be the only man who ever could win it five times. . : "But the pressure has got to be worse on Snead because he is a great player and this is the only one he never has won. He has to have the shakes, too, when he thinks about that. I'll bet those last few hours before he teed off left him in a real tizzy." Playing For History Mangrum said the money that the Open paid wasn't much of a factor because the Roseburg Nine Tips Crater Lake Legion Medf ord's Ken Durkee made the big try for a tying run, but was tagged at the plate for the final out last night and Roseburg Lockwood Motors nudged Crater Lake Motors, 3 to 2, in a non-league Amer ican Legion junior baseball game at Cheney field. Crater Lake went to bat in the bottom of the seventh and last inning with Roseburg on top 3 to 1. Ray Konopasek drew a base on balls from Lockwood chucker Bob Whip ple. Frank Peterson fanned but Jerry Anderson was walked, putting two men on base. Durkee groundered to third base forcing Konopasek for the second out. Ken Jensen then smacked a two-base blow into left field and Anderson scored from second. Durkee running from Giant Camp Panicking By. HAL WOOD United Press International San Francisco (UPI) The panic is on in the camp of the San Francisco Giants. The pitchers aren't pitch ing; the sluggers aren't slug ging and the fielders aren't fielding. For a club just one-half game out of first place . this sounds worse than it really is. But the Giants took an other slugging from the Pitts burgh Pirates Wednesday, 14 6, and went into today's se ries finale with the Pirates only two and one-half games ahead of third-place Cincin nati and only three in front of Pittsburgh. The team has lost 11 out of its last 15 games and Man ager Bill Rigney doesn't know where to look for a pitching staff. "Guess we'll just have to start Antonelli, Antonelli and Antonelli," he said. Ruben Gomez started Wed nesday and was knocked from the box for the fifth consecu tive time. Today Rigney will gamble with Paul Giel, the ex-University of Minnesota football star, just recalled from Phoenix. Giel couldn't get the side out before he was shipped to Phoenix for some seasoning. There he won three in a row. "He learned control down there and I think he's ready," said the Giant skipper. fJev; Dodge Pickup SALE A COMPLETE SELECTION OF HALF TONS V-8s or. 6 CYLINDER 3 Speed 4 Speed or Push Button Drive WE NEED USED PICKUPS!

The rest comes in endorsements and what now has become a major financial consideration to an Open winner televi sion. "It isn't money they are shooting out there for today, it's to get in the history books," Mangrum said. Being played over the Southern Hills golf course, which Mangrum described as "the best course the Open ever has been played on," the Cheney Studs Club Faces Grants Pass Cheney field, formerly known as the fairgrounds ball park, continues to be the busy scene of American Legion junior baseball this evening when. Central Point Cheney Studs entertain' the Grants Pass aggregation. .Th game is billed for 8 p.m. Central Point and Grants Pass are members of the same first base, also attempted to make it home, but outfielder Rod Hoenisch rifled in the ball and third baseman Bill Eswine's relay was in . good time to catch the runner and end the game. Roseburg picked up two runs, which made the final difference, in the fourth in ning. Bob Scott was walked by tosser Tom Laurance. Hoenisch doubled Scott home and went to third base on Whipple's groundout.- Eswine got a base on balls and swiped second. Catcher Bob Pond heaved a bounder wide of tte base on the steaL Second baseman Konopasek stopped the ball but couldn't find it to pick it up immediately and Hoenisch crossed the plate. First Inning Rum Both teams scored in the first inning. The Lockwood counter was on two walks and a single by Wes Young. Dur kee tapped a one-base hit and Lowell Dean doubled for the Medford marker. Whipple went the route on the hill for Roseburg, holding Crater Lake Motors to three hits. He struck out batters even times and walked five. Lockwood batters collected only four safeties. Laurance hurled four innings for' Med ford, giving up three hits and five walks and fanning seven.

WE GIVE GREEN STAMPS Twinbills Divided in Northrest By United Press International Yakima was the only North west League team to accom plish much Wednesday night as the Bears turned in a 6-0 victory over second-place We- natchee. ' Tri-City topped Salem 3-1 in the opener of their twin bill but Salem came back with a 4-2 decision in the night cap. Eugene took Lewiston 6-3 in the opener of their set but the Broncs turned in a 5-4 verdict in the second game. Charlie Drummond tossed a five-hitter for Yakima and drove in two runs to lead Yakima to its victory. Drum mond fanned nine and walked but two. He drove in one run with a squeeze bunt in the second, arid another with a single in Yakima's three-run fifth. Dick Newberg fashioned a neat three-hitter as Tri-City took Salem in the opener. Newberg walked three, fan ned two and held the Sen ators hitless after the second inning In the second fame, Herb Anderson lashed out two sin gles and a double for two runs driven in to lead Salem "to the win.

Joey Giardello Gains Decision Washington (UPI) Mid dleweight contender Joey Giardello, having stretched his unbeaten string to 17 bouts, blasted champion Ray Robinson today and dared him to fight. "Robinson's afraid to de fend against middleweights," declared the Brooklyn boxer puncher who Wednesday night licked Franz Szuzina of Ger many for the third straight time. With his yen for title glory apparently whetted by Wed nesday night's splendiferous ring-setting at the Shoreham hotel, Giardello charged that Sugar Ray "wants to keep de fending against that welter weight, Carmen Basilio be cause he's afraid of us middle weights." Joey, second-ranking con tender for the 160-pound title, won a 'majority decision over stocky, aggressive Szuzina in their TV 10-rounder. .
