Two boat hoists are now avail able at a nominal charge, as well as a surfaced parking area.

Sword Dancer Will Run In NJ Oceanport, N. J.-flJPD-Brook meade Stable's Sword Dancer is passing up the $75,000 Dwyer Stakes at New York Saturday fof another crack at the "big boys" in the $100,- 000 added Monmouth Handi cap at Monmouth Park. The leader pro tern of the three-year-old division is elig ible for both events. In the Dwyer, in which Sword Dancer would be meet ing horses of his own age, he drew top weight . of 126 pounds. For the Monmouth classic, Mrs. Dodge Sloan's smallish but classy colt will carry 120 pounds, four over the scale for three-year-olds at this time of the season. Trainer Elliott Burch de cided to start Sword Dancer in the Monmouth because he thought the colt's size made it available to accept the lighter assignment: Also, the Dancer beat older horses earlier this year in the Met ropolitan 'Cap at New York. Aborigine's Family Left Wives, Children Darwin, Australia (UPD -An aged aborigine named Wong gu died at Caledon Bay, in Australia's northern territory, and according to custom left his estate to be divided evenly among the male members of his family. The estate: 25 to 30 wives and 60 children. SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY Sport Writer United Press talk to the man in the straw hat and save now on a 97 DUICK at SKINNER BUICK SPORTS PARADE std hd .. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Philadelphia (UPD Bob Mathias, - a strapping, raw boned man with an iron-hard body, was talking once about the decathalon which carried him to Olympian athletic heights when he was a young ster of 18. "It is," insisted the two time Olympic champion with a grim edge to his voice, "one of the most terrible ordeals an athlete could undergo When you get along towards the end of it you wonder why you ever tried to do it." This is by way -of making a point said point being that another young man named Rafer Johnson had bet ter get on the ball. Because a handsome, well built Russian named Vasily Kuznetsov makes this 10 event muscular marathon look ridiculously easy. Johnson is the top U. S. hope for the Olympics, which will be forthcoming next sum mer in Rome. He and Kuznet sov have been batting the de cathlon world.record back and forth like a tennis ball. But J in a driving thunderstorm at Franklin Field Sunday, as the United States and Russia con cluded a two-day track and field meet, Kuznetsov was prevented from eclipsing his own brand new world rec ord only by" the weather. Johnson would have had his hands full trying to stop Yam. The decathlon is an ordeal. In the space of two days, the candidates for its roll of hon or must run 100 meters, broad jump, shot put, high jump, run 400 meters, skim over the 110-meter high hur dles, hurl the discus, pole vault, toss the . javelin and wind it all up by running 1,500 meters. It is all figured out, event by event, with points award ed according to the perfor mance. Kuznetsov, a black haired 27-year-old athlete who stands six feet, one inch and weighs 183 pounds, holds the .current world mark of 8,357 points only man to pile up more than 8,000 points on four occasions. One of those four times was Sunday, despite a thunder storm which inundated cap italistic JFranklin Field. At the end of the first day's five events, he was running 50 points ahead of his world rec ord. , He built that lead to 79 points Sunday and was 74 points ahead with only three events remaining. Then the heavens , wept on his chances. The rain slicked the pole vault runway and ruined him. It greased his grip on the javelin and turned the grassy footing to a base of treach ery. - Yet, going into the final event, that murderous 1,500 meter run, he needed to run only 5:02.6 to set a new rec ord. The track was inches deep in, water and, while Ore gon's Dave Edstrom splashed home in 4:59.8, remember that this is one of the blond Yank's top events. Kuznetsov, who was. third in the 1956 Olympic decath lon, gave it a game try. He pounded home in 5:03.8 and when they tallied up the points his total was 8.350. That was just seven slim points behind the world mark he established at Moscow in May. And, under, the circum stances, it was a miraculous performance. For, as Mathias ' said, this is a man-killing event. And it took the hand of God to stop the star of the Soviet. But, things being what they are under the hammer and sickle, maybe that's the way it should be. MEDFORIvOTEffiUlfE Gomes Wins Junior Lightweight Crown East Providence, R. I.-IUPD-"I just had more eagerness than Jorgensen." That was the way 25-year-old Harold Gomes of Provi dence explained his phenom enal victory over Paul Jorgen sen of Port Arthur, Texas, Monday night in winning the l knockdown in the 15th round w o r 1 d's junior lightweight championship. Gomes, who was decked four times by the 24-year-old Jorgensen, was declared the winner by unanimous deci sion after a rough and tough brawl in which Jorgensen was cautioned repeatedly for throwing low blows. "I'll meet him anywhere," said Gomes in his dressing room after the 15-round bout at Pierce Memorial stadium. "And as far as those three knockdowns in the 11th round go, I think my head was pret ty clear. As soon as I came back to my corner, I was O.K Gomes, who forced the fight throughout, with good use of a right-left combination, had beaten Jorgensen previously at Miami, Fla. He termed the battle "the fight of all fights." He also , glossed over his saying that "I wanted to knock Jorgensen out Jorgensen said that he "nev er was tired but I ran out of gas in the 11th," the round in which he decked Gomes three times for eight counts He said he thought he "had Gomes in the 11th, but I guess he was much faster than me tonight." He said he'd "like to try Gomes in Texas." The highly partisan crowd of 3,437 witnessed its first championship bout in Rhode Island since 1943. The fight marked the renewal of activ ity in the junior lightweight class Hydro Squabble Begins After Boat Race Sunday. Seattle - (UPD Only 20 days 'til Gold Cup time and already the temper-tender hydroplan ing elite is squabbling. Beefs in this business are not uncommon, but usually they are reserved for race day, or at least, until the week preceding the race when qualifying runs are attempted. As usual, the trouble again involves an interpretation of the rule. The latest rhubarb was brought to a head by Bill Muncey, driver of the Miss Thriftway which lost by the razor-thin margin of 1.8 sec onds in the Diamond Cup Re gatta on Lake Coeur D'Alene Sunday. Pique at Race Stop Muncey, a young man who is an old nana at tne aan- gerous pastime of speedboat racing, wasn't sore at Bill Stead who copped the cup in the Maverick. Muncey, a win- or - nothing competitor was piqued at the officials who stopped the race when Norm Evans was flipped out of the Miss Spokane in the final and crucial heat "That gun was too quick," said Muncey, complaining about the red signals which were shot off to stop the race Muncey also complained be cause Evans failed to signal that he was unhurt. An alternate referee, Harry Woods, defended the officials' action, saying Evans may not; have been hurt, but' with a man in the water there' was no choice. Evans said he tried to lift his arms but they wouldn't respond until it was too late. Several other drivers and owners were a bit more char itable. They pointed out that already during the race Jack Regas had been injured ser iously and Bill Brow was suf fering from shock and bruises and the shooting off of the red flares when Evans was spilled was almost an invol untary action. Junior Golf Players To Finish Up At Club Today Mike Monroe of Medford shot a 78 yesterday to gam third-place standing in the junior division after one round of golf in the Southern Oregon Junior Golf cham pionships at Rogue , Valley Country club. Dennis Soran of Klamath Falls shot a 76 for first place, and Cliff Jernigan was one stroke behind for second. But Chuck Allen of Med ford and Graham Brunes of Tillamook, shooting in the boys' division, turned in low scores for the day. Their 74's put them three strokes up on Salem's Mike Kolb. In the pee wee' division it was Chuck Milne of Salem in front, with a 91 after 18 holes of play. Slacey Leading Defending champ Pam Stacey in the girls' division shot an 86 to go 18 strokes up on her nearest challenger. : Defending champ Treasure Sullivan is tied for second in the junior girls' division, with a 104, just two strokes off the pace set by Peggy Saund ers of Grants Pass. The championship play winds up today with another 18 holes of golf scheduled. The. scoring at the tourna ment is based on stroke play, no handicap, with low score determining the winner.

Radio station KYJC will carry the ball game starting at 7:50 p.m. If Roseburg takes the first game a second one will follow. ' Jerry Anderson shouldered the pitching chores for Med ford last night but it was the strong arm of second-base "pitcher" Ray Konaposek that helped the local cause. Once in the third inning, and again in the fifth, Konaposek threw strike ' balls across the plate and robbed batsmen of in-the- park home runs. Long Flies It was Gene Wagner in the third and George Spees in the fifth that cracked . out long fly balls over the head of right fielder Bob Quinney and both times it was throws from Quinney to Konaposek to catcher Jim Barry that nipped them at the plate. Both men rounded third base with (Juinney still chas ing the ball and both were caught sliding home by pic ture pitches. The game was tied up, 4 apiece, at the top of vie sixth. But the bags loaded up on a hit by Quinney, a free voy age to first by Konaposek after being hit with a pitched ball, and , a fielder's choice play on Wayne . Thompson that squeezed groans out of Roseburg rooters. A strikeout followed and then losing pitcher Jerry Hal- laday presented Anderson with a base on balls and walk ed Quinney in. That was the ball game, though Roseburg sent three men up in the seventh and Medford put them down. Roseburg found Anderson harder to keep down than the mercury in a Medford ther mometer. He got one hit at one time batting, but three walks combined with it to put him on base a total . df four times. Three of the four times he ended up crossing the plate for a score. Quinney got two singles for three trips to the plate and Lowell Dean and Ken Durkee each collected singles. . Good Start Roseburg got four hits off of Anderson but couldn't put them together to advantage. Starting pitcher Bob Whipple threw seven straight strikes to begin the ball game and it looked as if Medford was in ' for an unenjoyable eve ning. Two walks followed, though, and then a single by Lowell Dean and an error scored Anderson. Medford also scored in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. Roseburg pitcher Bob Whip ple was retired for the eve ning when Bob Scott pinch- hit for him in the sixth. Jerry Halladay finished the game on the mound. 1 Roseburg 001 111 0 8 3 Medford Ill Oil X 5 5 3 WhiDDle. Halladay and Hinev: Anderson and Barry. New York -0PD- Eugene W.

Vargas,, too, hopes for a shot at the champion in a non-title bout if he gets by Machen. Machen, the former Red ding, Calif., fighter who ob served his 27th birthday July 15, defeated Vargas in San Francisco last May. For many months he was considered the logical contender for the heavyweight crown. Then last year he ran into Johansson's right hand in Sweden and was ko'd in the first round. Ranked Fifth But his showing against the Swede seems not so poor in view of the Patterson-Johansson bout recently. Eddie now is ranked fifth by Ring Maga zine and sixth by the Nation al Boxing Association. If he gets by Vargas again he may be on the road back. The bout will be held at the Oregon Centennial Expo sition Grounds. It will offer diversified boxing styles. Vargas is a free-wheeling puncher with power but little boxing finesse. Machen is a stand-up boxer who likes to use his left in consistent jabbing from a safe distance.
