o o o o o Tommy Bolt Wins U. S. Open With 72-hole Total Tally of 283 Tulsa, Okla. (UPI) Jut-jawed Tommy Bolt, a once thunderous club thrower who got golfing religion, reached the end of the fair way rainbow Saturday when he calmly battled par and pressure to win the U.S. Open Golf championship. While more than 40 of the gasping 20,000 people who merely watched him collap sed in the 95 degree heat that blistered the torurous hills and valleys at Southern Hills country club, the 39-year-old one-time carpenter hammered together rounds of 69 one under par and 72 for a winning 72-hole total of 283 which swept him into the golfing history books. It was the payoff on a new found self control for the man known as "thunder" who just a year ago returned to the tournament trail because his club job was a failure. But the handsome Oklahoman got even Saturday before the home folks as he picked up $8,000 first money and cap tured the greatest prize in American golf. , When it was all over on the wooded acres where the Creek Indians not too many years ago pitched their teepees, Bolt Margaret Taylor Annexes Oregon Girls1 Rifle Toga Portland Margaret Tay lor, Central Point, won the state junior girls rifle cham pionship of the. Oregon State Rifle and Pistol association, it was announced Saturday. State junior honors were determined by compiling the results of five sectional indoor shoots.

Other class winners were Leonard Sisson, B, 376; Tom Hanley, Pendleton, C, 393, and Eddie Waterbury, Oswego, D, 150. While Hamley's total on 400 targets exceeded Han lein's it was Tecorded on just two positions. Complete sta tistics showed a number of equal total scores and a num ber of factors were involved in resolving the ties and de termining the placings. The Roseburg team of Lew is McAllister and Norman Ladd, won the two-man toga with 396 and the two and Lor en McClure and Robert Flury combine for the four-man toga with 1574 out of 1600.

TIGERS SIGN ROOKIES Detroit (UPI) Jack Crouch, All-Southeast confer ence third baseman from Au burn, and John. Otis of Dart mouth have been signed by the Detroit Tigers. Crouch hit .310 for Auburn this year while Otis hit .351 for Dartmouth. wound up four shot on top of Gary Player. The '22-year-old South African, Trsznt, to become the first foreign win ner since Ted Ray in 1920, had a final round 71 for 287. Third came Julius Boros, the 1952 champion who Bolt feared the most, with a 71 for 287. Gene Littler, whose morning 33-34 67 was the tournament's best round, clos ed with a 76 for 290. Far back at 291 came Bob Rosburg and Wally Burkemo with Don Jan uary at 293. Frank Stranahan, only two shots back as the two final rounds started, wound up at 294 along with Ben Hogan as the "little ice man" had a 75-71 to blow his chances for a record fifth vic tory. It was Bolt all the way in the big one. He led at the end of the first round with a 71 tied by Julius Boros and Dick Metz. At the end of the second round, he was in front with another one over par 71, good for a one-shot edge on South African Gary Player. And, while the rest of them tumbled, going into the final round he was on top by three i shots with a third round 36-33 69 total. Making a run at him was young Gene Littler, whose third round three under par 33-34 67 was the hottest of the tournament as the Cali fornia blond strove to end the four years of frustration he has known since finishing one shot back of Ed Furgol in 1954. But it wasn't to be for Lit tler. Bolt sauntered through the scorching sunshine, talking easily with the sportswriters he had "needled" the day be fore, and methodically pound ed out a one over par 36 on the front side of the final round. Littler meanwhile blew to a 39 and with only nine holes to go stood six shots back. The gap was too great and Bolt was too determined. Young Gary Player of South Africa fell five shots off the pace as he carded a morning 75 while Stranahan slipped eight strokes behind with a 75. Ben Hogan, seeking a rec ord fifth win, had a 38-37 75 for a 223 which was well out of it. Thus, as they went out for the final 18 holes before a gasping gallery of 11,000 broiling fans, it boiled down to a fight between the man they still call "thunder" de spite his temperamental ref ormation and the poker-faced Littler who missed a putt on the final green in 1954 to lose this same title to Ed Furgol. bugged Drishmaini (Gets trouble Wln Dm NCAA Track Berkeley, Calif (UPI) Rugged Ron Delany of Ireland and Villanova, completed one of the great "doubles" in track and field history Saturday when he won the mile and half mile races in the NCAA championships. Even though Glen Davis of Ohio State set a new "world mark of 45.7 in the 440, De lany stole the hearts of the 16,000 fans who cheered every bob of his head in both races. Delany won the mile with a Silky Sullivan-like, come- from behind finish at 4:03.5, a new NCAA record. He toured the 880 in 1:48.6, coming from last place in the nine-man field with 200 yards to go. As the Irishman hit the tape the crowd was on its feet to give him a thunderous ovation which lasted about three min utes. Delany, his sides heav ing, smiled and gave a wave of his hand in acknowledge ment. The only other time in the 37-year history of this meet a runner captured both the mile and half mile crowns was in 1945 when Ross Hume of Michigan turned the trick. Alex Henderson, an Aus tralian competing for Ari zona State at Tempe, set a new American record in the two mile run when he was clocked in 8:46.3. The recog nized U. S. mark was 8:49.6, set by Horace Ashenfelter of the New York Athetic club in 1955. Davis was pressed for all but the final 20 yards by Ed die Southern of Texas in the sizzling quarter mile. 1 Davis ran in lane 8, while Southern was in lane 4. They stayed even in. their staggered lines until they hit the head of the stretch. Then the power ful Buckeye pulled steadily ahead and Southern barely hung on for second place with a clocking of 46.5. Third fin isher Jack Herman of Cali fornia was timed in 46.6 and Ivan Rodriguez of Puerto Rico was clocked in 46.8 for fourth place. The race was run on a two turn track and cracked the World mark of 45.8 set by Jim Lea of USC on a one turn track at Modesto, Calif., in 1956. Don Bowden set the pace for the first three quarters in the mile, with Delany at times running as far back as ninth place and 30 yards back. But midway in the final lap Gale Hodgson of Oklahoma . and Jim Grelle of Oregon over took the tiring pacesetter. It was at this point that Delany turned on the steam. The Villanova star first caught Bowden but he was still 10 yards behind Hodgson and Grelle, who were run ning neck and neck at the far turn. But while the two lead- HASKINS Saw Shop MACHINE SHARPENING ' Chain, Circle and Hand Saws, Lawn Mowers and Tools 1736 No. Riverside Phone SP 2-8236 ers slowed, the Irish-born De lany just kept coming on. He plodded past them at the head of the stretch and won going away. The old NCAA mark was 4:03.7 set by Wes Santee of Kansas in 1953.

Medfo UNE Philadelphia Wins 3-2 Over Giants; Padres Wins Sixth San Francisco (IP) Solly Hemus lined a home run into the right field seats Saturday to give the Philadelphia Phil lies a 3-2 victory over San Francisco and drop the Giants to their sixth loss in seven games. Hemus who now has hit safely in 14 straight games, led. off the seventh inning with his third homer of the year to break a 2-2 tie and lift Roman Semproch to his seventh win. It also was the third straight triumph for Philadelphia's rookie right hander. The loss went to Ramon Monzant, who took over for Mike McCormick in the fourth inning then surrendered the homerun ball to Hemus. Marv Grissom pitched the last two innings for San Francisco. The Giants took a 2-0 lead with single runs in the second and third innings but Stan Lopata, playing his first game since he was beaned last Sun day by Larry Jackson of the Cardinals, clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth inning to tie the score. That blow, which followed a single by Rip Repulski, started McCormick on the way out. Monzant relieved him after the young southpaw had walked Wally Post and given up a single to Harry Ander son. The attendance for today's game was 16,363, which swell ed the seasonal turnout to 511,968 for 32 home games. San Diego, Calif.

An Oregon State Game commission tally is kept at Gold Ray of upstream moving adult steelhead and Chinook and silver salmon and of a few suckers moving back and forth across the dam. The fishery division of Gold Ray Fish Count .Week ending June 14:. Chinook salmon 1.647 '(includes 16.6 per cent jack salmon). Summer ileelhead 19. Season total: Chinook salmon 7.049 (includes 12.2 per cent jack salmon) since April 21. Summer steelhead 77 since May 6. , game department uses the count to determine annual trends of the runs and to de termine the spawning escape ment. Annual trends of dif ferent "races" in the runs of steelhead and salmon also are noted. This information is correlated with studies of catches at Gold Beach and other places along the Rogue river system. Fishermen also use the count as an indication of when to go fishing, although its full value for this purpose is sub ject to some question. Game commission count at Gold Ray has been a continu ous full 12-month operation since 1942. Until 1948 every fish crossing the dam was tal lied. Since then a sample Medford Delegation Places High in Meet Portland The Medford delegation to the state AAU tracv: meet at Jefferson high school in Portland took two first places and three second places Saturday.

J FISH COUNTED Art Besaw, Oregon Game commission em ployee, tallies salmon as it crosses flashboard at Gold Ray dam counting station. All upstream moving adult steelhead and Chinook and silvers almon are tallied according to spe cies and size. Counter must not take his eyes from the board when gate at right side of window is open. From the tabula tions the fisheries division determines annual trends and spawning escapement and correlate this date with studies of catch from the river system. count plan has been used, one day and in the afternoon Fish are tabulated during cer tain periods of the day each day. A formula of the Oregon State college statistics depart ment is applied to compute the total. This sample count has proved within 0.58 per cent of error. Present tally man is Arthur Besaw, Eagle Point. His sta tion is a small hut on the fish ladder. The ladder at the hut is racked off with a grill ana gate. At the bottom of the gate there is a white-painted flashboard. When the gate is raised and the fish are per mitted to swim over the board, they are tabulated through a window in the side and bottom. There is a rule that the tallier must not take his eyes off the flashboard when the gate is open. Count is separated as to spe cies and size. Besaw currently makes count during the morning on of the next. Fish at Gold Ray do not move at night and the gate is closed during hours of darkness. Chinooks move up the lad der April through September, reaching their peak in June. Summer steelhead run is late April to Nov. 15 and winter steelhead Nov. 16 until mid May. Silvers start their run in November, straggling some time into January. A number of game commis sion employees have started their careers at the station at Gold Ray. Harvey Cassman, Central Point, retired several years ago after 15 years. Bert Peck, who recently retired as foreman at the Central Point screening shop, worked first at the counting job. Operation of the counting station is not open to view by the public because it is locat ed in the switch yard of the California Oregon Power com pany which uses the dam to generate electricity.
