MOWER SPECIAL Thunderbird Golf Won By Littler Oakmont, Pa. -lUPD-Def end ing champion Gene Littler can't see why he should be favored to win the U.S. Open golf championship starting here Thursday despite his $25,000 victory in the Thun derbird Open. His five under par 67 in the closing round Sunday at Clifton, N.J., earned him the biggest golf purse of the year and he finished 15 strokes ahead of Arnold Palmer, who will be favored in the Open.

Littler, who started out Sunday's final round in the Thunderbird, one stroke be hind the leaders, wrapped up the tournament when he went out in 31, five under par. That put him beyond the reach of young Jack Nicklaus and Dow Finsterwald, who had started Sunday's play in front.

For two drag racers from Reno, Nev., seven is certainly their lucky number. The past week end marked the seventh time Warren Welsh and Bill Butler have brought their "Shoehorn" drag race car to the Medford strip for events sponsored by Southern Oregon Timing as sociation. Only once during these seven appearances has another entry been able to beat them for top honors in this sport of super-tuned en gines and split-second timing. For the Shoehorn owners yesterday was their heydey and the best day they have ever had in the sport of drag racing which reaches back five years. As for the Medford drag strip, Sunday, June 10, will be known as "Shoehorn Day." Never in the past eight years has a gas-powered entry put on such a show of perform ance and prize winning speed as the Reno entry did before a crowd of some 3.000 drag fans at the White City track location. The brilliant red rcar-rngin-cd acceleration machine broke the strip gas record on its second run of the meet then came back yesterday- to fur ther impress anyone who did not believe this is one of the nation's top dragsters. On the first run of the morning for them, Welsh feathered the throttle perfectly and left the starting line in a cloud of smoke from the spinning rear tires. Exactly 8.31 seconds later he flashed through the finish line timing cloclt3 at a new record of 169.48 miles per hour. Later in the day, Shoe horn established another rec ord when Welsh again work ed the clutch and throttle per fectly and recorded an all time low elapsed time for any car, gas or fuel, of 9.04 sec onds. . The former ET record was set last September by Delta Machine-Isky Special of Po mona, Calif., a fuel dragster. Next conquest for the Shoe horn was two straight wins over the Skeans Pickering dragster from Vancouver, Wash., for lop spot on the SOTA "Mr. Eliminator" list ings. On both runs, Dave Skeans was able to lead the Welsh Butler car off the starting line by about a two car lead. How ever, the last half of the race saw the Nevada car simply drive past Skeans and shoot over the finish line about a i two-length winner. Later in the afternoon the attention again w a s on the Shoehorn when it was match ed against the "A" Gas drag ster of Dwain Becker and Bob Beckner from Albany for top eliminator honors of the meet. The Becker and Beckner en try had waded through all other fast cars of the meet and earned the right to race the Shoehorn. Killed Engine Both cars were brought to the starting line and given a final check by their pit mem bers. The fiagman got the ready nod from each driver and pressed the button giving the big race of the day the green light. Becker and Beck ner, perhaps a little nervous because they knew they were held the Muids to two hits in j the first game. Rogue Valley combined one of them by El len Callaghan, with a field er's choice and error in the second inning for its one run. The Florists scored twice in the second inning on a walk and two errors. Safeties by Wingficld, Fran McCon nell and Peltina and a field er's option contributed two runs in the sixth canto. Kozak issued one walk and struck out batters eight times. Maid chucker Pat Bar ron. walked three and whiffed five in a six-hitter. The other Maid hit of the game was by Glcnda Hull. Six In Third Portland pumped over all of its second game runs in the third inning on two bases on balls and five hits, in cluding triples by Pat Har rison and Charlcne Dauen hauer. For the DM run in the seventh canto, Callaghan singled and went to second on a fielders option, one swiped third base and came Barron walked one, struckout three and allowed two hits. The Florists entertain Sa lem on Wednesday and Rogue Valley goes to Salem for games on Saturday and Sun day. The Dairy Maids will play the Phoenix Westerners on July 2 at White City. Miss Callaghan was pre sented her trophy Saturday night as 1961 batting cham pion of the Northwest Wo men's Major Softball league. 1.ISKSCROES: Rogue Valley old nod 01 2 4 Erv Lind 020 003 X S 6 I Barron and Main: Kozak and Wallls New Jump Standard By Russian Moscow l'PI Russia claim ed another first today.
