Y. - (UFD -The strongest amateur contin gent in 26 years challenged the field for the 59th U.S. Open championship today, but the betting was that none of them would make it. Only five amateurs in the long history of the tourna ment ever have mgde it - the last one in 1933 when Johnny Goodman won at Omaha. This time, 26 of them, led by U.S. amateur champion Charley Coe, the thin man from Oklahoma and British Amateur king Dean Beman, the collegiate golfing whiz from the University of Mary land, are competing against ,124 professionals. Percentage wise it is the largest amateur representation the Open ever has seen. "But it won't do them any good, said defending champ ion Tommy Bolt.

Jockey Willie Shoemaker accepted the mount on Silky whom he rode to victory in the Santa Anita Derby a year ago and then saw him nose dive into the ranks of "also rans" in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. . mm presents The Th W sn ira w Th I insi Here is the real thing ... body styling in the smartest Italian tradition applied to the FIAT 500, famous the world over for ragged trouble-free dependability.

"Best Chance Ever" Despite the opinion of Bolt and most other pros, Harvie Ward, a two-tune winner oi the Simon-Pure title compel ine in his seventh ODen. main tained that "this is the best chance we ever have had. Coe was listed as a 25-1 shot along with such pros as Bo winmnger, Bob Goalby, Don Whitt, Walter Burkemo, Claude Harmon. Tommy Ja cobs and a host of others who have won some of the major pro golf titles. Ward was listed at 30-1, and in that company were such as former U.S. Open champion Jack Fleck, former PGA title-holder Chick Har- bert and others. "At least, they are in select company," commented young Jack Nicklaus, a U.S. Walker Cupper who insisted "a lot of us have a chance."

Beavers Drop Tiff, But, Bats Give Hope United Press International The Portland Beavers have their batting eyes for certain now and if their pitching can just return to its recent form they're apt to make a bid for the Pacific Coast league pen nant. , Portland dropped its sec ond straight to Salt Lake City Tuesday night, 10-8, as left hander George Brunet lost his fifth straight game. But for the second night in a row Salt Lake had to chop off a Beaver ninth-inning rally. This "time Portland fell short with two runs. ' But the strong Beaver hit ting continued. Jim Green grass smashed a three-run homer in the fourth and George Freese, the league leading hitter, hit his 11th in the eighth. Portland maintained "its third place ' position, half a game ahead of Phoenix and Vancouver. The Beavers are now 4 games from the top. Sacramento, showing signs of slipping dropped a 5-2 decision to Spokane. San Di ego downed Vancouver 6-1 and Phoenix took Seattle 10-9. The Solons have now lost four straight. They have scored just seven runs in those games and have made 25 hits. And -none of the Solon hurl ers has been able to go the route. Tuesday night, Spokane's Connie Grob kept them sol idly in check.

California Governor Plans Probe San Francisco (DPD The probe on "gangland pressure" in the boxing industry got under way here today-pushed along with the announcement by Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown that he would have special investigators assigned to study the problems. The state athletic commis sion will conduct the. hearings, which are expected to feature Ralph Gambina, who "bought in" on the contract of heavy weight contender Rueben Var gas for $500. The commission does not have anything listed on its agenda that would call for fur ther discussion of the promo ter Jackie Leonard case. But Gov. Brown does. Leonard, who testified be fore the commission last month that Eastern mobsters, including Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo, were trying to muscle into the fight game, still is recovering from a beat ing he received after the testi mony. Determined "I'm determined that that kind of activity finds no place in California," said Brown. "Im going to ask Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk to assign some of his investigators to the athletic commission to find the answers on who made that attack on on Leonard." , The governor also said that he would call in the U.S. de partment of justice on the na tional aspects of hoodlumism in boxing after the state gets into the investigation. On a 24-point commission hearing agenda, Gambina is slated to be under discussion at least four or five times The commission will consider fining him for conduct at a re cent match in Palm Springs; ask him to clarify some of his charges that "fighters oppos ing a Sid Flaherty boxer in San Francisco can't get an even break"; ask him why Larry Boardman,' whom he manages, withdrew from the June 13 fight in Los Angeles; and how he purchased an in terest in Vargas for $500. Group Has No Intention To Impede Baseball Portland (DPS Clyde Per kins, head of a new minor league organization, said to day it was not the intent of the group in any way to im pede the operation of base ball or do anything detrimen tal to its interests. Perkins, vice president of the Portland team of the Pa cific Coast league, is presi dent of the organization call ed the Independent Baseball Clubs association. He was replying to criti cism by George Trautman, head of the minor leagues, who was quoted as calling the IBCA a maverick" organiza tion which may do . more harm than good by having an upsetting effect on work be ing done to create a new fund for minor league clubs. Perkins said, "I have just read Mr. Trautman's press re lease, stating that 'a house di vided against itself cannot stand. I agree 100 per cent, for today the baseball house is divided, between the haves and the have-nots. Unless the haves realize the position of the have-nots, then baseball could easily be doomed." He said, "we believe the majors are shortsighted in letting the minors continu ously, one after another, go broke. They are driving our customers from our ball parks especially with their Satur day and Sunday TV." Added Perkins, "for this loss of patronage we feel they should divide with us ,the money received for such an invasion of our territories, and is there anything rebel lious, revolutionary, threaten ing or maverickish to that?"

The Sacs have been on top of the PCL since the season opened. They've never been spectacular. They don't over power you. They score with a key double, the sacrifice fly, and they make the most of their opponents' mistakes. Their pitching has been sharp and steady and it has had to be because the Solons don't walk away with many games in the early innings. But the Sacs are in a slump now and their lead is down to only one and half games over the persistent San Diego Padres. They were beaten Tuesday night 5-2 by Spokane.
