Cheatham outroared a field of 175 entries from Oregon, Washington, California and Arizona to capture top time and top eliminator prizes and to win his A dragster class. He was the star of the show as 13 strip marks tumbled in 27 classes in the biggest meet for drag racers ever held in southern Oregon. The 144.46 turned by the Californian yesterday and his sparkling elapsed time of 9.97 seconds, cracked the strip marks of 142.85 mph and 10.25 seconds he estab lished in time runs on Satur day, first day of the meet. Top Sunday speed, attained over the one-fourth mile con crete course from a standing start, also goes into the SOTA books as new local standard for A dragsters. $200 Bond A $200 savings bond went to the Sunnyvale man for the new speed record and he picked up another $50 as top eliminator. Record prior to the week end meet was 134.24 mph set in the first an nual Northwest Gas cham pionships a year ago by the sleek Glass Slipper of Sacra mento, Calif. One of Cheath am's four trophies was for his top time on Saturday. Cheatham's torrid machine, which exceeded 140 mph six times in the two days, beat out the Olympia, Wash., Cap itol City Cogs dragster, pilot ed by Terrell Poage, for class laurels. Poage turned 133.33 on two occasions with the Chrysler-powered racer. Zombie, one of the top local entries, continued its hot pace by writing in a new record in its A competition class.

Phoenix Mas Final Edge off 4V2 Frays Dn PCI Standings United Press International The Pacific Coast league wound up another season to day amid a shower of home runs and gags while the cham pion Phoenix Giants kept on winning as usual. Dusty Rhodes smashed a home run in each game Sun day night to help set a new PCL team mark of 205 round trippers while the Giants were beating Vancouver twice, 3-2 and 9-6. Bill Wilson also clubbed a National Am Play Starts San Francisco -(UPD-Lt. Hill man Robbins of Memphis, Tenn., opened defense of his crown here today as the 58th annual National Amateur championships got underway on the Olympic Country Club course. Robbins tangled with a sub stitute entry from Minneapo lis, Gordon Emerson, and wasn't expected to have too much trouble getting by the first round. But even the champion was doubtful after that. "I'm not putting well," he complained. It was Robbins opinion that Charley Coe of Okla homa City might be rated as the "man to beat." Coe. one of today's early starters, teed off against T. F. Ford of Phillipsburg, N.J. Beavers Show Gridiron Power Corvallis - (UPD - Oregon State showed off some of its highly touted power Saturday in a game-condition scrim mage that was called off aft er three quarters by Coach Tommy Prothro. The black-clad Beaver first and second stringer raced to a 70-0 romp over the white squad. A quartet of fast pow erful tailbacks, Paul Lowe, Grimm Mason, Dainard Paul son, and Leon Criner racked up over 380 yards in total offense. Lowe connected with two passes in two attempts both going for touchdowns. Now you can enjoy the great bourbon of the Old West at a richer-tasting 90 proof and pay no more than before! 290 PT. 445 Vs homer for Phoenix in the second game while Phoenix set its new home run mark. The old one of 204 was set by Salt Lake in 1923 over a span of 199 games. The Giants did it in 154 tilts and in a less rarified atmosphere. Jokers Take Over The sweep gave Phoenix a 4Vz game lead in the final standings and after the hom ers went into the records, the two teams just played for laughs the rest of the night. Rhodes took a turn on the hill as did Manager Charley Metro of the Mounties and just about everybody but the clubowners showed up at one position or another. Another home run spree was registered at Salt Lake where Jim McDaniels wallop ed three in the first game as the Bees were downing second-place' San Diego, 9-5. The splurge gave McDaniels 37 for the season. Spring Pitches Win Then lefty Jack Spring, al though belted for eight hits in seven innings, pitched the Padres to a 3-1 victory in the nightcap. Seattle and Portland also split while Spokane defeated Sacramento, 4-1, in a single game. Carmen Mauro doubled home Vada Pinson in the 11th inning to give Seattle a 4-3 edge in the first game and left Bill Kennedy, the. third Seattle pitcher to work, to his seventh win. Then John Buzhardt threw a six-hitter at Seattle in the second game to ride to an easy 8-1 triumph. A three-run homer by Glen Gorbous of Spokane helped Art Fowler fashion a 4-1 win over the Solons.

Probes Should Be Welcomed, Delegates Told Las Vegas, Nev.-OJPD-Dele-gates to the annual conven tion of the National Boxing association were told today they should welcome "law and order investigations" of boxing in their areas. The advice was contained in a joint report by NBA Na tional Commissioner Abe J. Greene and president Gilbert H. Jackson opening the con clave of delegates from the United ' States, Canada, Mex ico, and Central America. Greene and Jackson ac knowledged that "hidden em pires of crime . . . have in some cases preempted the power of boxing commission ers and set themselves up as overlords and dictators of the boxing world." Greene asserted that "re cent exposure of activities of strange characters wielding tremendous influence in the manipulation of champion ship bouts and of other im portant contests has almost submerged the good in the sport." However, he pointed out that many of the boxing commissioners attending the convention at the Riviera ho tel were substantial business or professional men who serve in boxing without com pensation.
