Beatty, Snell Modesto Foes San Francisco fUPD Track and field promoters around the world have been trying for two years to get Peter Sr.cll of New Zealand and Jim Beatty of the United States together to run the 'miracle mile" race of the century. But it took Tom Moore, di rector of the California Relays at the little city of Modesto, Calif., to swing the deal. The race will be staged Sat urday night and in addition to Snell and Beatty, three oth er sub-four minute milers, Bobby Scamon, Jim Grelle and Cary Weisigcr, will be in the race. Snell holds the world's rec ord at 3:54.4, and Beatty is the fastest of the other campaign ers at 3:56.1. Austrians go to considerable pains to make the foreigner feel at home. They even out fit the city police with badges identifying the foreign lan guages they speak. MEDFORDeiWrRIBUNB SFCDUSTS George Flanagan Jr. Opposes Dalton in Fast Draw Contest George Flanagan Jr., a member of Gun Fighters Inc., a local gun club, will engage Jack Dalton in a fast draw contest before the main event of tomorrow night's profes sional wrestling program at Medford armory. Dalton beat Flanagan by the narrowest of margins, in the opinion of three judges, when they met here in March but this time a timing device will be used which will give a more accurate check on the fast draw of each participant. Dalton, who claims to have the fastest draw in the coun try, is an expert horsesman and says he is a direct de scendant of the infamous Dal ton Gang of wild west days. He will team with his brother Jim, himself no slouch at the rough and tumble side of wrestling, in a tag team match against Rocky Columbo and Andre Drapp. Drapp, a handsome and colorful mat man, has beer headlining cards in the northwest for several weeks and recently drew 4,000 fans when he de feated Maurice "Mad. Dog" Vachon in Seattle. One More Chance for Len Sutton Indianapolis, Ind.-flJPD-Len Sutton's car, which he lost in the southwest turn of the Speedway while practicing for 500-mile race qualifica tions, was expected back on the track today, despite hitting the wall twice Tues day. Sutton was anxious to get back at practice because he has only one more opportu nity to qualify for the Memo rial Day classic. Twice he has taken the green flag in the time trials and twice pulled in. You get only three chances. Sutton, runner-up to team mate Rodger Ward in last year's "500" escaped injury when he cracked up Tuesday while running at about 146 miles per hour. Other than Sutton's meet ing with the wall, action at the Indianapolis Motor Speed way was slow Tuesday. Be cause of poor weather condi tions, only nine cars were on the track all day and high winds held down speeds.
