At giant Lenin Stadium where the first Russian-Amer ican dual track meet is taking place, thousands of Soviet citizens take time out from watching to eat, drink, and talk with friends.

In the 19th lap, how ever, Kurz broke an axle and spun out. Jenkins went off the track to miss him. The situation was rather confusing for a while in one of the top races of the season. Earl Stevenson was second and Jack Keck Sr. third. The evening saw the string of the McGilvray brothers broken in the trophy dash. Kurz claimed the hardware donated by Ashiand Groce teria. Cars Entangled Jack Keck Sr. and Bob Mc Gilvray were almost hopeless ly entangled in the fifth lap of the first heat. Jack had a few precarious moments cross ways in the track about half way down the straight away. No one hit him before they broke loose. Floyd McClana han, Ted Sletten and Lou De mock were the first three down to the wire in this one. The second heat saw Kurz take the checkered flag first with Jenkins second and Cecil James third. Final heat was a real con test between Kurz and Jen kins. These boys raced bumper to bumper for a full ten laps. Though Louis seemed to try all the tricks he knew Bobby stayed in front of him all the way. Third place in this heat went to Bob McGilvray.

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, July 28, 1958 9 8, according to the source O'Malley's likely choice as Alston's successor will be Los Angeles Coach Charley Dres sen, whom Alston replaced as Dodger manager in 1954. Two other men Bobby Bragan and Leo Durocher also are in the managerial picture. "That recent vote of con fidence the Dodgers gave to Alston was tantamount to handing him his hat," said the UPI source. "O'Malley al ready has decided to make a change and . he's debating among three choices Dres sen, Bragan and Durocher. All Popular "All three are popular on the West Coast. Durocher might prove too hard to get. Bragan is in the Dodgers' sys tem at Spokane and could be brought in easily, but Dres sen is right there with the club and O'Malley still thinks highly of him despite their past differences, so he looks like the logical man." Alston, who is operating on one of those famous one-year contracts O'Malley hands out, will be offered a place in the Dodgers' organization from which he emerged to lead the team to its only world cham pionship in 1955. Since taking over as Dodg er manager, Alston has made a good showing every year ex cept this one. He finished second in 1954; won the pennant and the World Series against the Yankees in 1955; won the pennant again in 1956 but lost the World Series, and wound up third last year. The team really fell apart on him this season through no fault of his own. Roy Campanella's tragic ac cident during the winter was the major blow. Then Don Newcombe, ' baseball's out standing pitcher only two years ago, failed to win and was traded to Cincinnati. Right now Duke Snider and Carl Furillo are nursing in juries that keep them from playing. fi m , hi n 1 j Pat McMurtry Gains Decision Tacoma, Wash. (UPD Irish Pat McMurtry of .
