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.
'No one should ever be fav
ored in a field which includes
Palmer," said Littler, who
drove here today from Clifton
and plans to test the man-
killing Oakmont course for
the first time Tuesday.
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.
Littler s aggregate of 275
was 13 -under-par and was
two strokes better than Nick
laus, whose final round 35-35-70
for 277 was good for $10,
000 second place money.
Finsterwald, finishing with
a 73, and Wcs Ellis, with a
final round 71, tied for third
place with 280's worth $5,000
each.
Medford. with 592 in

ond and third in handicap.

If the Spokane Indians of

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.
