Supertest Wins Trophy
Piclon, Ont. - IliPt - "Gale
V" and driver Wild Bill Can
trell were left at the pits as
"Miss Supertest HI" with Bob
Hayward o Embro, Ont., at
the wheel outclassed "Nitro
gen" and "Nitrogen Too" in
the second race of the Inter
national Harmsworth Trophy
race Saturday.
The Canadian champion
went on to defend the Harms
worth Trophy for Canada,
establishing world record com
petition times. It was not the
thrilling race predicted due to
the fact Cantrell's "Gale V"
failed to start. A dead battery
proved Cantrell's undoing.
He stood in his craft at the
pit wharf with his helmet
and lifejacket off feverishly
attempting to start the boat
as the minute hand ticked off
the seconds.
As the three remaining com
petitors passed the 500 yard
buoy at the start, "Nitrogen"
and "Nitrogen Too," both
owned by Sam DuPont of
Wilmington, Del., broke well
in the lead.
The DuPont boats crossed
the line together at the start
ing gun boomed over the
water. "Supertest" followed
with a terrific burst of speed,
eventually catching and pass
ing the DuPonts. . .
"Supertest's" average speed
for the 45-miles was 115.48
mph, with a total elapsed time
of 23 minutes, 22.8 seconds.
Her fastest lap was the second,
when Hayward averagea
126.22 mph, to break Friday's
lap record of 124.82.
Spitting fire and dark
smoke on the south end of the
Long Beach course, "Nitro
gen Too" conked and failed
to finish. Miss Supertest's"
only surviving rival was
"Nitrogen," which Hayward
left far behind. At the end of
the race, the sleek Canadian
beauty was 2V4 miles ahead.

Russian Five
Gives U.S.
Competition
Rome-WPU-Russian basket
ball coach Nikolai Semashko
promised "real competition"
Saturday to the U.S. stars
his team expects to battle for
a gold medal.
"I don't know if we can
win," Semashko told United
Press International. "We
have caught up with the U. S.
team in tactics but they are
still superior in technique.
"But we'll give them a
hard fight-that I can prom
ise." The Russian cagers' who
have head U. S. basketball
coach Pete Newell frankly
worried, spent the afternoon
lolling around listening to
Italian and U. S. jazz over the
radio.
Six Feet and Over
Tomorrow Semashko is
taking his agile giants-five
of them are more than six
feet, eight inches tall and one
is seven-feet-two-to the little
stadium for a warm-up ses
sion. Yankee spies can be ex
pected to be watching. The
U. S. basketball team is rated
among the best ever; but
Newell doesn't think victory
is a sure thing.
He has admitted that he is
worried about the Russians
and the Brazilians, in that
order. ,
"The Russians are very
well organized and disci
plined," Newell said at West
Point, N.Y., before leaving
for the Olympics. "Their
coaching is excellent. They
are very sound on defense and
have a good passing game."
Learned From Americans
Semashko, a big, friendly
man with steel grey hair
blowing back over a weather
beaten face, indicated that
whatever the Russian basket
ballers have learned they
have learned from the Ameri
cans. "Basketball was born in
the United States," he said.
"We've been trying hard . to
come up to their level but
they start with one natural
advantage.
"U.S. kids start playing
basketball much earlier than
ours do and they play more
of it. As a result there is a
lot more team material to pick
from.
"At the 1952 and 1956
Olympics we didn't stand a
chance against the American
national basketball teamf-but
In s time we nave everyiea,-

Earl Buchholz
Seeks To Upset
Favored Laver
Newport, R.I. - (UPI) - Young
Earl Buchholz of St. Louis
overcame a two-set deficit
Saturday to beat second-seeded
Ron Holmberg of Brook;
lyn, N.Y., and move a step
closer toward upsetting Aus
tralian Pod Layer's mastery
this year in eastern grass court
competition.
Laver, aiming at an un
precedented fourth major
grass court title, has elimi
nated England's Bobby Wil
son, 6-4, 6-0, 3-6, 8-6, earlier
in the day. Laver and the 19-year-old

pete today in the singles fi
nale of the 79th Newport In
vitational Teenis tournament.
Third-seeded at the Casino,
Buchholz took the first set,
9-7, but dropped the next two,
3-6 and 5-7.
It appeared to the socialite
studded gallery after the third
set that Holmberg had the
finesse to eliminate 'Buchholz,
the No. 2 singles player on
America's. Davis Cup squad.
Intermission Helps
But a 10-minute intermis
sion apparently .r e n e w e d
Buchholz' drive and in a
steady but deadly game, he
upset Holmberg, 7-5, 6-3, to
move into the finals.
Laver, top seeded in the
79th tournament as Newport
Casino, has won three con
secutive grass court titles in
recent weeks and hopes to
add a fourth. No other star
has ever managed to snag all
four major titles in one sea
son.' Buchholz 'and Holmberg
eliminated Australians Bob
Mark and Bob Hewitt in rain
splattered singles play Friday.
Mark- sustained a minor
shoulder injury in the open
ing set with Holmberg but
was able to resume play after
a brief intermission. He lost
a hard fought battle, 6-3, 3-6,
6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Both' players
were, forced to . use ; spiked
shoes when the court became

mained the only unbeaten
teams in the Western Region
al American Legion Junior
baseball tournament here
Friday.
Klamath Falls trounced
Anchorage, Alaska, 17-0, and
Roswell defeated Fresno,
Calif., 10-3, for second-round
triumphs in the seven-team,
double-elimination tourney.
In Friday s other game, de
fending champion , Phoenix,
Ariz., eliminated Las Vegas,
Nev., 6-0.
The two undefeated squads
will meet Sunday night at 8
p.m.
Klamath Falls combined 13
hits along with 15 walks and
six Anchorage errors to grab
the lop-sided win. The game
was called at the end of six
innings by mutual agreement.
Winning pitcher Marv Ed
wards limited the losers to
three hits and walked seven
while registering the victory.
John Vianchi paced the
Klamath Falls attack with
four RBI's including a single
and a two-run homer in the
fourth.
Klamath Falls hopes of
winning the regional crown,
however, received a rude jolt
Friday when it was learned
that pitcher Wally Paimberg,
who pitched the 5-4 first-
round win over Sail Lake
City Thursday night suffered
a pulled back muscle, and will
probably not see action for
three days.
Roswell capitalized on 13
walks issued by two Fresno
hurlers and four errors along
with seven hits to gain their
10-3 second round victory.
Roswell's Tommy Jordan
scattered six Fresno hits and
walked four to record the vic
tory. Catcher Harry Wilson of
Roswell had a double, and a
single in four trips to the
plate, and one run batted in
to continue his hot batting
pace. Wilson has collected
six hits in nine trips during
Roswell's first two games.

Bell Ijit bases-empty homers
in a losing cause for Fresno.
Phoenix hurlers Gary Deak
and Tim Myers combined to
hurl a one-hitter at the Las
Vegas club. Deak hurled eight
innings to chalk up the win
for the defending regional
champions and Myers held the
losers hilless in the ninth
frame.
Marshall Deulsch singled
in the seventh frame to ruin
Deak's bid for a no-hitter.
Phoenix tallied three un
earned runs during the first
seven innings to build up a
3-0 lead, and then scored two
insurance tallies in the eighth
on a bases-empty homer by
John Geames, an error and a
triple by Rick Turner.
Myers paced the Phoenix
attack with three singles in
four trips as his club bounced
back from Thursday's 11-1 de
feat suffered at the hands of
Fresno. Las Vegas dropped a
25-1 decision to .Roswell
Thursday afternoon. '

team, many of its members
rankled by the "unnecessary
side trip," stages a final tune
up today for the Olympic
Games beginnig in Rome

The entire 66-member team
arrived here late Friday after
a tiresome plane-train trip
from Rome. None seemed
especially eager for the com
petition here against nine na

is celebrating its 25th anni
versary. Little if any stiff competi
tion is expected from tha
rival athletes. Only Gordon
