Gotta Have Seven Horse Motor To Run Mile in Four Minutes By HARRY LEADINOHAM ATLANTA, July 17 (IF) If (and when) someone runs tho four-mlmito mile, he'll be a guy who can look a' seven-horsepower motor In the face and not feel outclassed. J. G. Lostrr, Emory univer sity engineering Instructor and coach of many of tho school's Intra-mural teams, reduced the four-minute mile to a mathemat ical formula today and here's what he found: A mile In four minutes Ik equivalent to kicking yourself around a track at IS miles an hour. But tho horsepower need ed would vary with the runner's weight, Guilder Hncgg weighs about U0 pounds and Arno Andcrsson. the Swedish schoolteacher who recently ran the milo in 4:02.8. Is 1S3. Taking Gunder's 150 pounds ax a round number, Les ter tied it to tho distance run 8280 feet In four minutes, or 1320 per minute. Multiplying the two, he got 1 08.000. Then he divided thm by 3,'t.OOO the foot-pounds of work in ono min ute at one horsepower and camo up with six. In other" words, explained the engineer-track coach, it would take six horsepower to propel a 180-pound runner a mile In four minutes, presuming he doesn't run a step beyond B280 feet, that he runs the whole race at the same speed, on a leveli straight track, and Is neither helped nor hindered by the wind. Haegg, In running the mile at 4:04.8, probably generated about six horsepower, figured Lester, while Andcrsson, In establishing the new mark of 4:02.8. probab ly was putting out a little better than six, especially if he sprint ed to tho topo. Thus, he said, to run a four minute mile allowing for varl able present In every race it probably would take a cookie who, in the final sprint for the tape, at least, can pick 'em up and put 'em down Just about as fast as a seven-h orsepower motor.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17 UP) A slim, galloping figure with the speed of the Swedish wind on his spikes lined up today for what may be the fastest mile in the American record book. It was Gunder Haegg, of course, and nobody doubted that he would pound down to the Kezar stadium finish line ahead of three other starters. The question, rather, was: "Will Gil Dodds push Haegg enough to force him to run the best mile of his career?" Dodds trailed the Swedish distance champion in two-mile races in Chicago and Los An geles. But the fact that the fleet Boston Divinity student won the national AAU 1500 meters, or metric mile, the last two years, and was given a fighting chance in Kezar's four laps, suggested Gunder the Swift may have to hustle. Swedish Newsman Gerhard T. Rooth, who is touring with Haegg, said his performance de pended in great measure on what Dodds did, adding: 'If Dodds runs 4:07, Haegg will run 4:06. And if Dodds runs 4:02, Haegg will run 4:01." Wolves Win, But Firemen Play Tourney PORTLAND, July 17 OP) The Camp Adair Timber Wolves are the semi-pro baseball champions, but they won't represent the state in the national semt-pro tournament at Wichita, Kas. Because the soldiers can't trav el that far, the trip will be made by the Portland Firemen, van quished by the Timber Wolves, 4-0, in the state championship fi nals last night. The Firemen showed power a plenty, and threatened the Army team repeatedly, but wily Jack Knott, soldier pitcher, proved too much for the young Portlanders. He gave up nine hits, but was untouchable in the pinches. The Timber Wolves touched Dick Sinovich for eight bingles, scoring first in the third inning when Beau BelUa- single pro-' duced one run and another came in on an error. Knott drove in the next tally with a single in the fourth, and Bell singled the last run home m the seventh.

The way they tell it, in fact, this is probably the funniest dipsy -doo slant since Wes Fer rell presented his nuthln' ball. It's a little thing Sewell cooked up in his spare time and finally perfected, and since he .discov ered the "dodo," the Pittsburgh Pirates' twirler has become the leading elbower in the National league. At the moment, he's sporting a slate of 13 wins, in cluding a 9-5 Job over the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday.

BOSTON, July 17 W) After being backed against the ropes by a terrific verbal attack, the usually complacent Squire Jack Sharkey, former world heavy weight boxing champion, today rebounded and agreed, that he had challenged Joe Louis, the current titlist and one of his conquerors, for a best two-out-of-three exhibition golf match for. the sole entertainment of army and navy personnel here abouts. Sharkey, who considers him self as only a golfing hacker, was lured into his challenge by the honeyed words of Fred Cor coran, the PGA's tournament bureau manager now on leave of absence from the Red Cross. Corcoran, back in this-country after a six months' tour in Eng land, dropped In at Fort Dev ens the other night, accompanied by Sharkey, to entertain the soldiers with one of his Sports LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE INVITING BIDS The undersigned Police Judge of the City of Klamath Falls will receive sealed bids up to 5:00 o'clock P.

Brookiyns were held to five hits by Nate Andrews. Johnny McCarthy, who used to be a Dodger, chip ped in with the triple that broke up the ball game. These were the only tussels In the National league, while over In the American league the New York Yankees nipped the Athletics 6-5 on Frankie Cros ettl's eighth-inning run-making single. Since the Boston Red Sox knocked off. the Washing ton Senators 4-1 behind Oscar Judd's five-hit hurling, this boosted the Yanks' league lead to 5 H games and dropped the Nats into third place,- back of the idle Detroit Tigers.' In the only other game, the St. Louis Browns connected for only four hits, but bunched three of them in the first inning to nose out the Cleveland In dians, 4-3.
