(LTD It's going to take them a long time to get Dow finsterwald down, financially or mentally. Dow 9s the 28-year-old golf professional from Athens, Ohio, who stood front and center as they started the third round of the P.G.A, championship Saturday. He alfb is the fellow who, mak ing a career out of finishing second, seems , to win nothing but money. "I cry all the way to the bank," he grins happily. You might expect a fellow who hai missed the top spot as often as this bunch-shoul dered thin man to fret over his "troubles." He hasn't won a tournament in a year and a 3 half and he has finished sec ond 18 times in that period. But it doesn't bother Dow. "I'd like to finish second every time out," he says. "I'm a fellow who makes his living O playing golf and that second place mgney isn't too hard to ta . ; Fifth in Winnings You .can believe him. He haswon a total of $77,000 ' over the last three years. This year he stands fifth among the j money winners with $19,233 in the pokey, which is fairly fancy production when it i comes to lining your. .wallet with a wedge. There are some who con tend that Finsterwald would win more tournaments if he gambled more often. He shrugs off the advice by point . ing to his record of finishing : in the money in 72 straight tournaments, a skein which Gas broken at Baton Rouge jtst Rferch. "There's no use kidding myself," he explains. "I hit th Jiots I know I can hit, or t least feel that I can hit. Shrine Football Classic Draws Near in Portand Portland Break-away run-1 ners like Mike Sinnerud of Beaverton and Steve Picard of Seaside may turn the 11th annual Shriner's hospital all start football game into one of the Highest scoring contests in the game's history. That's the consensus of coaches in the Portland area wSb have watched backs from the Metropolitan and State aquads in action during the last couple of yesrsv The game, for the benefit 65QHogs Burned in Fire Near Banks .

(UPI) A strike of 1,000 lumber and roillworkers at this north western Montana community entered its eighth day today with no immediate settlement in sight. HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE MeAndnwi . Court SP 3-9068 cheers from a gallery of 13, 000 sun-beaten fans. He was one shot in back of Ohio's Dow Finsterwald and the Louisiana Marine Jay He bert, both now playing out of Florida, when he went out over the 6,710-yard layout. Tied with him, one stroke off the lead, were poker-faced Boros and big Billy Casper. But none of them could match the pace of the hill billy belter as he moved into a "catch-me" position for to day's fourth and final round. Casper, the husky from By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press Sure, even the average player would score a lot better if he played that way blue-printing his game but he might not have as much fun. "However," he added with a quiet smile, "I'm not here to have fun." Finsterwald, who now plays out of Tequesta, Fla., where he lives with his wife and 15-month-old twins, explains it this way: "As an example, take that 16th hole at Cypress Point in California. A lot of players travel 3,000 miles and then they come up to that 16th which is a full driver over an arm of the ocean. They could play it to the left, chip up and still, probably get their par. But they make sevens or worse ?.ad Porky Oliver once took a 15 there. I prefer to knock it safe and stay alive." " . Father Objected A graduate of Ohio univer sity, Finsterwald took up golf in 1944 over the objections of his father who wanted him to follow in his footsteps as a lawyer. "Dad spent so much time playing golf it was either give up golf or give up law," Dow says. He man i want, iu acc me bitten by the same bug and eet in that same rut." But when Dow showed sucn fine promise, shooting a ou m the 1950 St. Louis Open as an amateur, his father approved heartily when he turned pro in 1951. The following Octo ber, Dow went into service and. playing a great aeai while stationed in Louisiana and North Carolina was ready fnr the tour when he came out in 1954. Since then, Dow has been the closest the mostest. And, while his name isn t on many cups, he's happy just to see it inscribed on those fat second place checks. of the Shriners hospital for crippled children, is slated for the night of Aug. 16 in Portland's Multnomah stadi um. The experts admittedly have difficulty in deciding whether Picard or Sinnerud is the more dangerous. Picard, who practically rewrote all of the Seaside record books, will perform for State, while Sin nerud, the great all-around athlete will wear Metro garb. Of course they aren't the only threats that will be on the field. Coach Lee Gustaf son of State has several backs capable of going all the way once they reach the secondary defense. They include Val Barnes of North Salem, Rick Herman of Springfield, Ricky Lamb of North Marion, Stan Bye of Milton-Freewater and Marv Tyler of Lakeview. The Metros, under the dirc tion of Coach Tom DeSylvia, can boast an equal number of fleet backs, including Paul Paul Goddard, leading scorer in the Portland league last fall; John Damis of Portland's Grant high, Dave Woodford of Gresham and Larry Miller and Jim Warren, both of Port land. The rival squads will gath er here Aug. 3 to begin two weeks of intensive practice. Manager Director, Eugene W. Ferguson, urged all form er players in the game to mail immediately their gold cards to Shrine game offices at 1119 S. W. Park Avenue, to receive their honorary seats. Mail orders for $3.00 and S2.00 reserved seats are also being received at the office. TRAYNOR'S I CONDITION GOOD - Pittsburgh (LTD Pete Traynor, former Pittsburgh Pirate manager and star -third baseman, was reported in good condition following an operation at Mercy hospital for the removal of a tumor j from his chest. It was not de termined how long he will re main in the hospital. Apple Valley, Calif., gave it a mighty try. But Big Bill couldn't hole a six footer for a birdie on the final hole and had to settle for a 36-32 68 and a 208 which left him one shot behind Snead and one shot ahead of Finsterwald. Finsterwald had a 36-34 70 for 209. Then there was a gap of two shots to Jackie Burke, the 1956 winner, with a 36-3369 for 211. One more shot away at 212 came a tough twosome: Doug Ford with a 35-35 70 and Jay He bert with a 73. Plays Loose and Easy Playing "loose and easy" and speaking frequently to the gallery, Snead went one under the card on the front nine and then turned on the heat coming home. It was a shaky start, as he three-putted the first hole, the last time from three feet, for a bogey. But Sam got it back on the second with a 30-foot birdie putt. He rammed in a 25-footer for another birdie on the sixth and an 18-footer for another birdie on the eighth. When the low 60 and ties go out for that final round today it seemed that beyond Ford and Jay Hebert, tied at 212, the rest had little chance of making up the distance be tween them and Snead on the head end at 207. But there was some hot golf over a short but rugged course today as Mike Sou chak, the former Duke full back, stroked out. a 35-34 69 which banked him at 213 with Julius Boros, who had a 72. One stroke back of them at 214 came former U. S. Open champion Dick Mayer with a 37-3269 and Buster Culpit of Fort Smith, Ark., with a 33-3669. Wally Burkemo, the 1953 champion, had the day's best round, a32-34 66 but it brought him no higher than 215, where he was dead locked with U. S. Open cham pion Tommy Bolt who had a 36-3773. Cold Hits Bill Rigney San Francisco (LTD Bill Rigney, ailing manager of the San Francisco Giants, showed up at Seals Stadium Saturday for the game with Pittsburgh but felt so poorly that he left before the game for his home in Walnut Creek. "I seem to have some kind of a cold which has settled down in my chest," the Giant skipper said in a parking lot where he was leaning against a car. "So I decided to go home again and take it easy. We have a big road trip com ing up and I may pass Sun day's game also." Rigney was ill earlier this season with a stomach upset which delayed his joining the club in Los Angeles. STRONG BAY TRIUMPHS OVER THREE-YEAR-OLDS Inglewood, Calif. (UPD Strong Bay, given a brilliant ride by Panamanian Jockey Manuel Ycaza who flew here for the race, Saturday, staged a wire-to-wire victory in the $116,900 Westerner for three year-olds at Hollywood park. As soon as Strong Bay and the other nine horses crossed the finish line the stewards posted the inquiry sign. They later announced that the pos sible foul did not involve the winner but was to determine whether Hillsdale, which fin ished second, might have in terfered with The Shoe which was third. Strong Bay had run a bril liant second two weeks ago in the $35,000 Cinema handi cap and his owner determined to get the best possible rider for him. He sent to New York for Ycaza who has been per forming brilliantly in the east this year. The strategy paid off as Ycaza took Strong Bay out in front and kept him there for the entire race although fin ishing only a head in front of Hillsdale in a driving fin sh. Despite his front-running victory the California-bred Strong Bay raced the mile and a quarter in the good time of 2:02-35. So fast were the fractions that veteran ob servers thought he would fade in the stretch. His time for the six furlongs was 1:09-35 and his mile time was 1:35- 45.. Because of his strong race in the Cinema, Strong Bay was sent off at odds of 3-1 as the crowd of 52,500 installed Hillsdale the 2-1 favorite. Strong Bay returned $8.60, 4.20 and 2.80 across the board. The Shoe, after being moved to second place, returned $4.60 and $3.00 sfor place and show while Hillsdale paid HOLDING WEEK-OLD SON, Mrs. Paul Giel Jr. and San Francisco Giants pitcher greet photographers at San Car los, Cal., home.

Crew Beats Russians In Moscow Race Moscow - (UPD A Russian military band played the Star Spangled Banner in Moscow Saturday and then the Uni versity of Washington eight oared crew glided out on the Khimi reservoir and trounced its Soviet hosts in a 2,000 meter race. - Despite international ten sion between the two nations over the Mid-East situation, an estimated 4,000 Russians warmly applauded the lanky Americans as they crossed the finish line one and one-half lengths ahead of the Trud club of Leningrad. Among the spectators were U. S. Ambassador Llewellen Ex-Hungary Trackman Wins Meet Redwood City, Calif. (UPD Hungarian expatriate Laz lo Tabori won the Redwood City track and field carnival mile Saturday night in the slow time of 4:05.5. Jack Larson, a top colle giate miler from the Universi ty of Washington, finished second in. 4:05. 8, while Aus tralia's Alex Henderson came last in 4:16.1. Jerome Walters of the Southern California Striders bowed out of the match, say ing he was not in condition at the moment to race against "such runners as these." Henderson set the pace for the first lap, then Tabori moved up and the two ex changed the lead several times until the final lap when the Hungarian made 1 his move. As Tabori spurted ahead of Henderson, Larson came up from behind and moved out ahead of the Australian to take the second place honors. Though a far cry from the world's record, Tabori's time was a new meet mark, better ing the old time of 4:22.5 set last year by Norman Lloyd of Stanford. Walters later entered and easily won the 5,000 meter run in a new meet time of 15.1. Second was Walt Boehm of the San Francisco Olympic Club in 15.27.5, bettering his old record of 15.29.4.

Pittsburgh (UPD Bunny Buntag, manager of Art Swi den, said Friday plans were being discussed for an An chorage, Alaska, bout be tween his Pittsburgh heavy weight, and Eddie Machen sometime after Labor Day.

The Trud club was timed in 6:24.2while another Soviet crew, the Army club of Moscow, finished third in 6: 28.8. It has frequently been stat ed that "sports is the great equalizer," and this theory was strengthened here Satur day in the Soviet capital. The U. S. Embassy still showed the ink-stained signs of Friday's demonstration, when Russian mobs protested the landing of American troops in Lebanon. But on Khimi reservoir, less than 48 hours later, all was serene. Play U. S. Anthem As the rival crews lined up for the start of the race, the band played first the Ameri can national anthem and then the Soviet national an them. The Leningrad oarsmen handed Washington its first defeat of the year in the Hen ley Regatta in England earlier this motnh, so Saturday's re turn meeting provided the Yanks with sweet revenge. They had drilled hard since their arrival in Moscow, al though Soviet vacationists frequently swarmed around their shell and hampered workouts. In fact, Russian oarsmen were so impressed by the Washington shell they offered to buy it, but the Americans turned down all offers be cause they couldn't take money out of Russia. Washington's winning crew consisted of Bob Svendsen, how Dick Erickson.
