Sports IQ by HUGH ENGSTROM We sure hope you enjoy our little literary effort which will start appear ing next week in the MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE It broke the American and U.S. citizen's mark of 3:58.0 set in 1958 by former North Carolina star Jim Beatty. The world record is 3:54.5 set in 1958 by Herb Elliott of Australia. Burleson's coach, Bill Bow erman, one of the world's top distance mentors, called it a "beautiful race" but said he did not agree that Burleson was in his best shape of the year. "He will improve before he hits his peak this season," Bowerman said. Burleson's race was a paced one. Archie San Romani Jr., a sophomore transfer at Oregon who is not eligible to run for the school this year, paced Burleson for two and a half laps before Burleson decided to take over from his tiring teammate. The crew-cut Burleson's lap times were 60, 59, 59 and 59.6. Burleson said his goal Wed nesday night was 3:59. He is pointing for a national AAU meet. "I'm looking forward to . . . another crack at Beat ty," Burleson said after the race: Beatty has beaten him three times. . i The Cottage Grove youth will run for Oregon in the four-mile relay at the Cali fornia Relays in Modesto Sat urday night as the Webfoot team shoots for a world rec ord. Beatty will be competing in the regular mile there but Burleson is not slated to run against him this week. Islanders Overcome SL Bees Third Time RAYMOND L. ANDREWS United Press International The Salt Lake City Bees will say aloha to Hawaii to night and they're almost cer tain to reserve a special fare well for Bobby Prescott. Prescott has pounded four homers in three games and he was at it again Wednesday night as the Islanders dropped the Bees 2-1 in Pacific Coast league play. Tacoma took San Diego 8-2 and 5-3, Portland defeated Vancouver 3-1 and Seattle bombed Spokane 14-2 in other games.' Prescott's hitting has been largely responsible for three straight Hawaii victories over the Bees and the Islanders, as a result, find themselves in fifth place in the standings. Prescott smashed his 11th homer of the year in the fourth to give Hawaii a 1-0 lead. The Islanders got the winning tally in the sixth on two errors, a single and a sac rifice fly. The victory went to Diego Segui who needed help in the ninth from Bill Werle when Hal Jones prevented a Salt Lake shutout with a solo homer Rainiers Coast Seattle, which usually has its fans on the edge of the seats, coasted home behind a 16-hit attack over Spokane. The Rainiers got five runs in the sixth and added eight more in the seventh. Lou Clinton with a triple and two doubles did a major share of the damage as he drove four runs across. Hal Kolstad, who retired in the ninth, scattered five Spokane hits for his third victory against no losses. Clint Stark, one of the bonus babies dotting the Port land roster, won his first of the year although he needed help in the eighth' against Vancouver. Stark, a 19-year-old lefty, fanned eight. Vancouver's lone run came in the eighth on a triple by Ed Charles scoring Charlie White. The Beavers got what prov ed to be the eventual winning run in the fifth on a single by Ray Katt and a triple by Jerry Buchek. Tacoma got off fast in Its twin victories over San Diego. The Giants wrapped up the first one with four runs in the first inning. Three of them crossed on Dusty Rhodes' second homer of the season. In the nightcap, the Giants pushed across five runs in the first and the Padres never could catch up although they got three in the seventh. SPORTS D Senators Increase NWL Lead United Press International The Salem Dodgers opened up a little bigger lead in their battle for first place in the Northwest league Wednesday night with a 7-4 verdict over Wena tehee. The victory enabled Salem to take a IVi-game lead over second place Yakima which lost 10-4 to Lewiston. Tri-City defeated Eugene 3-1 in the other game. Salem broke loose for five runs in the third inning to go ahead of Wenatchee to stay. Catcher Bill Kelso led the at tack with three singles in four trips. Spencer Scott of the losers hit a three-run homer in the sixth. Fred Rick scattered 10 hits in pitching Tri-City to its vic tory. The Braves got all three runs in the second. Two crossed on a throwing error and the third trickled across on a walk with the bases loaded. Rick fanned seven and is sued but two walks. Larry Danforth allowed Yakima 12 hits but Lewiston collected 15.
