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. ,

Nation's lop Golfers Start
Out in U.S. pen Tourney
BY LEO H. 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.

coming in prize money. 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,

books," Mangrum said.

which Mangrum described as

Central Point and Grants Pass
are members of the same

difference, in the fourth in
ning. Bob Scott was walked
by tosser Tom Laurance.

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.

the hill for Roseburg, holding
Crater Lake Motors to three
hits. He struck out batters
even times and walked five.

only four safeties. Laurance
hurled four innings for' Med
ford, giving up three hits and

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.
Ernie Domenichelli tossed
five-hit ball in Eugene's first
game victory and got good
hitting support from John
Keller and Carl Hutzler, each
of whom drove in two runs.
In the nightcap, Bruce Mc

Joey Giardello
Gains Decision
Washington (UPI) Mid

Giardello, having stretched
his unbeaten string to 17

Robinson today and dared
him to fight.
"Robinson's afraid to de

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
