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.

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.
