RJPD The Wightman Cup was "back in America today as a result of two storms out of the west ',' one a torrential cloudburst and the other the whirlwind ' play of a 29-year-old house wife from Long Beach, Calif. The power strokes of am bidextrous Beverly Baker , Fleitz accounted for two of the United States tennis team's four victories in the seven match competition. The downpour interrupted play and gave Darlene Hard a needed breather after which she picked up a vital win as the Americans recaptured the trophy at the Edgeworth club Sunday. "Mrs. Fleitz, the hard-swinging mother of two children, devastated Britain's best, singles players, Christine Tru man and Angela Mortimer, to assure the Yankee lasses the international prize the British had won last year for the first time in nearly three decades. Beverly swept through her singles tests without the loss of a set. Ltad Set Up The fact that the plucky British rallied to salvage the event's final two matches, the concluding singles and dou bles competition, hardly seem ed to matter after Mrs. Fleitz disposed of Miss Truman to hand her teammates an insur mountable 4-1 lead in the best four-of-seven competition. The two California girls accounted for three and one ; half of the U.S. team's four i points. Mrs. Fleitz had over- ; whelmed Miss Mortimer, 6-2, 6-1, Saturday, before her 6-4, 6-4 victory over Miss Truman. Darlene's win over Miss Mor- - timer followed her loss Sat urday to Miss Truman. Darlene also shared in the American doubles tri u m p b Saturday, teaming with her Wimbledon ' partner, Jeanne Arth, to turn back Miss Tru man and Shirley Bloomer Brasher, 9-7, 9-7. Miss Ann Haydon, a 20-year-old left-hander who has . never lost a Wightman Cup match, won her second singles test in two years with a straight set, 6-1, 6-1 win over Sally Moore Sunday. Miss Haydon then returned to the court after a brief rest to team with Miss Mortimer to win the final doubles ; match from American co captain Janet Hopps and Miss Moore, 6-2, 6-4. ; Million Dollar Gate Reported New York -(DPD The New York State Athletic Commis- sion announced today that the : Ingemar Johansson-Floyd Pat terson bout in June was in- : deed a million-dollar fight. : Jt estimated at $1,318,797 the gross gate plus the Tele : promotor Corp. receipts from ; theater-TV, radio and movies. ; Some of the estimates were "receivable" funds not yet collected.

Hi- 3i Capital City Aggregration Cops 3 Tussles Sunday, Defeats Larks in Finals Memorial stadium, Camp White - Salem's Capital City Shamrocks reign as women's champions of the Oregon State Softball association af ter entering a dramatic story of grit and determined come back into the association's 1959 tourney ledger. They took the long, hard, tough road to the diadem and don't know what "impossible" means. Losers in their first outing in the double-elimination play-off on the Veterans Administration domicil i a r y diamond, the spirited Sham rocks, fought back to capture victories in four, straight games, including three gruel ling battles yesterday. Playing with their hearts and their heads, hustling and flashing frequent brilliance, the Capital City gang tipped Forest Grove's Meadowlarks 2 to 0 and 1 to 0 last night after trouncing Eugene Mc Culloch Chain Saw 7 to 1 in an afternoon engagement. Hurley Stars A 7 to 4 Saturday night de cision over the defending champ Rogue Valley Dairy Maids, after a 1 .to 0 loss to Eugene on Friday, took the Salemites into the fourth and closing day of ctiori. An ex tra inning 1 to 0 nod over McCulloch on Saturday brought Forest Grove into the Sunday night finals with the only stainless ' record in the first three days of the tour ney. The Larks trimmed Klamath Falls on Thursday 5 to 1 and Rogue Valley on Fri day 6 to 1. And, last night's 2 to 0 first fracas was their first setback of the meet. Manager Mar Be Hurlev pitched all three of her Salem teams Sundav verdirt ani held opposing batters to two scam mis in each. She out hurled three - game tnnmov victor, Marian Kozak of the Larks. Deloris Hanson, Maurine Schollian and Jane LowpII supplied the main Sunday hit ting power and shortstop Hanson, third hasema Larson and outfielder Sue Hendric were glittering on de fense. Both Runs In First In last night's 2 to 0 out come, which sent the finals into the extra game, the Shamrocks punched over their runs in the first inning. Lowell opened the batting turn with a single. She went to second base when flinger Kozak muffed Schollian's sac rifice bunt. Then Larson was safe on a bunt to fill the bases. 1 Hanson lofted a fnul f-J outside the left field line. Shortstop Benita Mooney made a great running snare but kept going with her back to tne diamond and Lowell tallied on the Han next crossed the platter aner tne catch of Hurley's fly to center field. The Meadowlarks ed in the fourth inning when Kozak singled and Janet Hoodenpyle walked. Knt was trapped off base and tag ged out with Hoodenpyle go ing to second on the rundown. Nancy Butler then smashed a fly to left-field. Hendric, however, made a tumbling catch in one of the best field ing plays of the tournament. She threw to the infield and the relay doubled out off second base. Two er rors with two out put runners on first and second bases for the Grovers in the seventh inning but Gin Hess fouled ou to end the game. Error Allows Score ' Hits by Schollian and Han son and a sacrifice by Larson put runners on secand and third bases for Salem in the sixth inning with one out but a pair of flyouts ended the effort. Hurley struckout six bat ters and walked three in this game while Kozak fanned one and permitted no bases on balls. Capital City's one marker in the championship deciding second fracas last night went into the book in the third inning. Lowell was safe on a bunt. With two out Hanson made it to first On annthor infield safety. Hurley slugged the ball to shortstop Benita Mooney whose toss on a force piay to second base, was wild enabling Lowell to score. A walk to Betty Mantyla and bunt hit bv rharintto Kenagy started a Shamrock threat in the seventh innino but Hendric. trvinr in hunt popped to Kozak and Kenagy was doubled at first base. Lowell hit advancing Mantyla to third but Schollian skied out. It was in this game that the field play of Hanson and Lar son was particularly brilliant. Hanson .made four putouts and had five assists with her charging and sharp throwing play. Larson had four assists for the contest. Hendric, who hurt her ankle on the catch in the early evening fray but continued gamely to compete, came up with a shoestring catch to help Salem in the wrap-up tangle. Two other players vied last night with elastic bandage binding injured legs. Salem first baseman Vivian Reaves suffered a painful calf hurt in the afternoon skirmish. Kozak had a leg wrapped above the knee. Hurley fanned two and walked one ii the mix and Kozak struck out three and gave a single base on balls. Hanson and Hurley provid ed the main force yesterday afternoon when Salem aveng ed its earlier loss to the Eu gene Sawyers. Hurley turned in her first two-hitter of the day and Hanson tripled once and singled twice in three times up and drove in three runs. Salem tabulated twice in the first inning on hits by Schollian and Hansorr, a sacri fice by Larson and an error. Three scores came in during the third inning on a single by Schollian, a pair of errors, Hanson's three-base swat and Hurley's ground out. Doubles by" Vivian Reaves and Sue Hendric and a safety by Jane Lowell figured in two sixth inning counters. Scrambles Across Eugene gained its run in the fourth inning when Nina Edwards singled, advanced to second on Lipda McKay's sac rifice and scored on Margaret DuPuis ground out. Edwards almost did not make it to the plate in time. She fell a few feet short of the plate and lay in the dust momentarily stunned before scrambling on across. Luckily, for the Saw yers, Reaves relay home from first on the attempted double play was wild. Schollian and Hanson were the only ' oaes in the game with more than one hit. Hur ley walked and struck out three each. Winn fanned one and yielded no free tickets in a seven-hitter. Hanson had five hits in eight times up for Salem yes terday. Schollian hit three for seven and Lowell four for 11. Eugene pitcher Lois Winn walked Tommy Thompson with the bases loaded in the eighth inning to send Jan Ruhlin over with the lone tally for Forest Grove on Sat urday night. An error had put Ruhlin on base. Kozak singled and Nancy Butler drew a free pass to fill the sacks. Rogue Valley led Salem 4 to 0 after 5Vz innings and seemed to have the situation rather well in hand in the first game of the Saturday night double fare. But, Salem, pounded out four hits and put to use five bases on balls to pull victory out of the fire with all its runs in the .bottom of the sixth inning. Kozak and Hoodenpyl each got two hits in Forest Grove's seven hit offense on Saturday and Pat Jensen socked the ball for two of the three Eu gene safeties that Kozak gave up. Kozak walked one and struck out seven while her slab rival, Winn, whiffed five and allowed four bases on balls. Chain Saw got a runner to third base only once against the Meadowlarks. In the sixth inning Sharon Langan hit, stole second and went to third base on McKay's sacrifice. Rogue Valley opened the scoring on Saturday against Salem with a single marker in the first inning on a walk to Nadine -Brood, a wild pitch, Ellen Callaghan's groundout and an error. Cal- r laghan and Jean Main got hits off Shamrock starting tosser Phyllis Nybakke in the fifth inning. The Maids combined these with a walk, a fielder's choice, a passed ball and an error on Janet Pfaff's sacri fice bunt to put over three more runs. Main drove in two of the scores. Five of the runs by Salem in the fatal - for Rogue-Valley sixth were off starting tosser Callaghan. She gave up hits to Deloris Hanson and Reaves and issued three walks, sending across two of the runs and putting three other eventual scoremakers on base. Neither of Rogue Valley's two relief chuckers could stem the Capital City tide.
