HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH KAU.S, ORKCiON- TUESDAY, JUNE 1. 1054 PAGE TEN MotoA Woods 500' Second Straight Conquest By DALE BI'RGIiSS INDIANAPOLIS 1 Withoul taking any credit from a great driver In Bill Vukovlch's second straight 500-mile auto race victory yesterday, the cold statistics shew that his pit crew deserves a bin chunk of cash when the purse is distributed tonight. Jack McOrath. who wlds - the Indianapolis Motor Speedway qual ifying; record, set out to run off from the field like Vukovich did last year. He was screaming around Ule track at an almost impossible Ho miles an hour early in the contest. Vukovich won and McCrath fin ished in third place behind hard driving Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix. Vukovich was 1:09.59 ahead of Ryan and 1:57 ahead of McOrath. Vukovich had made two pit stops for fuel and tires and his crew got him back on the track with a total loss of 1:42. Bryan had to make three stops and lost 2:04. McCrath stopped three times and lost 3:39. Including once when his engine stalled. Fresno friends of the short, dark -and untalkative Vukovich probably will contend, with considerable reason, that if Vukovich hadn't held a full lap lead over Bryan late In the race, he would have been pushing his fuel injector special even faster than his new record of 130.840 m.p.h. He cer tainly wasnt loafing after starting In 19th place. McOrath, from South Pasadena Calif., had a phenomenal average speed of 139.860 for the first 50 miles and Bryan was hardly a car length behind him at that point. McOrath reported later he was forced to abandon the torrid pace because of magneto trouble. He said he was faced with the choice of spending time in the pit while the part was changed or giving up the all-out speed. Vukovich got ahead of Bryan during one of the latter's pit stops and stayed in front till the end. Jimmy Oaywalt, later involved in a spectacular accident, led 8 laps; McGrath, 53: Bryan, 45; Sam Hanks, Burbank, Calif., 1; and Art Cross. La Porte, Ind., runner-up to Vukovich last year, J. Daywalt hit the northwest wall. 11 laps past the midway point of the race, and bounced off into Jim Rathm arm's car, in which Pat Flaherty of Olendale. Calif., was driving relief. Neither driver was hurt but the yellow "slow down" light was on 12 minutes. . Other accidents slowed the race a total of 21 minutes and 9 seconds, but still failed to prevent the first three finishers from breaking Troy Ruttman's 1952 record speed of 128.922 m.p.h. No one was hurt. CLAYTON HANNON. Sports Editor Seals Travel To Second Oregon Captures -NCAA Berth EUGENE. Ore. HI The Uni versity of Oregon won a berth in the NCAA national playoff at Om aha, June 10 when Capt. Pete Wil liams rapped out a homer to de feat Fresno State 1-0 in the Far West final here Monday. The winning run came in the third inning of the game which was halted at the end or the iittn by rain. It was one of two hits given up by Fresno State pitcher Ted Wills. Left fielder Don Feral ta crashed Into the barrier and knocked him self out trying to grab Williams' hit. The Fresno Staters, who got four hits off Oregon pitcher Norm Forbes, threatened several times. They left two men on base in the first inning and in the fourth, first baseman Bob Phair was put out trying to stretch a double Into a triple. The bases were loaded In the fifth inning on two walks and a single by shortstop Ron Hager. Then J. D. Peterson popped out aver Fresno State in the double It was Oregon's second victory over Fresno Sue in he double elimination playoff here. Fresno state lost 9-5 and Seattle and Southern California were elimi nated In Saturday's round. EUOENE, Ore. UH Oregon placed five players on the all star team selected by tournament olficials and sportswrlters. The team: Catchers Neal Marlett, Oregon, and Bob Bennett, Fresno State: pitchers Ralph Pauslg, Southern Cal; Norm Forbes, Oregon; Ted Wills, Fresno State; first base Dick Scblossteln, Oregon; second base J. D. Peterson, Fresno State; third base Pete Williams, Oregon; shortstop Gerry Mason, Southern California; outfielders Jack Hannah, Fresno State; Geor ge Shaw, Oregon, and Ron Hager, Fresno State. Mason and Hager were unani mous choices. RETRIEVES CADDY SAN DIEGO, Calif. 11 A golf player, Dick Sprouse, .automobile salesman off the course, had to re trieve his caddy. Sprouse tossed his club in the air, in a moment of exasperation over a missed shot. It got caught In a treee. The caddy climbed up and got caught, too, when one leg wedged in a crotch, Sprouse climbed up and mads a rescue. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco's Seals are the sensation of the Pacific Coast League, a distinction ably earned by soaring from the cellar to sec ond place in three weeks. They arrived Monday by way of double win over Portland, 7-0 and 16-1. before nearly 20,000 tans who poured Into Seals Stadium to welcome the team home. They had won 18 of their last 22 games. The two .additional victories over Portland put them 5 '3 games be hind the league-leading Hollywood Stars and bumped Oakland into third place. San Diego and Sacramento ad' vanced to fourth place, which they share, the Padres conquering Oak land 6-4 and 2-1 and the Solons edging Hollywood 1-0 and 3-2, In Seattle the ram held off long enough for the Rainiers to win the opener, 3-1. from Los Angeles, but the second game was called after half an inning. Elmer singleton hurled .the Seals to a two-hit shoutout in the opener and Tony Ponce held Portland to five hits in the nightcap. San Fran cisco blossomed out with eight runs in the fat fifth inning of the sec. ond game, the Seals' most notable rally of the season. The day s work added up to six straight wins, the third time this year that San Francisco has won six straight. Two home runs, by Dipievo and Cheso, otherwise highlighted the second game. At Seattle, Bill Evans stalled the Angels, allowing only three hits. Evans and Bill Moisan, who started for Los Angeles, parried for six and one-half innings be fore Seattle scored. Jacoues Mo nette tied things ud with a two- out none-on homer in the top of the eighth, but Seattle came back with three singles and a sacrifice vbich'were good for two runs an' a victory that stopped a four-game losing run for the Rainiers.

Perhaps the most unusual thine aooui me transaction is that Thorn- Austin Yawkey after all these years got a considerable sum for performer Instead of nayinu It. The White Sox, obviously shooting for the works and desperately at tempting to repair the leak that has bothered Paul Richards most since he took over, forked over 175.000 and Grady Hatton, who was expected to be assigned to Louis ville. The liming was bad. from the Hub viewpoint, for after a mis- erable start, the Bosox bad Just taken two of three at Yankee Stadium, the veteran Kell mak ing three hits in five trips, driv ing in tnree runs, including the tying one in the eighth, and scor ing twice in the rubber game. Be an town can't be blamed for suspecting that Owner Yawkey and Joe Cronin have given up on the Red Sox at this early date. The decision on Kell was nude in Cleveland, when the one-time Arkansas Traveler, crowding 32, hit the ball all the way down the left field line and was thrown out at second base. That always has been an automatic double for any body but a combatant with no more speed than what was pos- In 22 years of competition Fenn Hall's swimming team has been undefeated 11 times. Ex-Champ Rates Lulu Perez NEW YORK W-Johnny Kllbane featherweight champ from 1912 to 1923, rates Lulu Peres, current con tender, "a very sood bov who im has a lot to learn." Orey-halred Johnny, now 65, watched the flashy Brooklyn kid easily whip Cleveland's Mickey Mars last night on a unanimous decision after 10 fast rounds at St. Nicholas Arena, "Both Lulu and Mars had better learn how to move," said Kllbane. "Thy're both too easy to hit. The only way to beat Perez is by leudlng." Perez goes to training camp Friday to get ready for his 12 rcund elimination bout with Percy Bastett June 25 at Madison Square Garden. The winner has been promised a title shot at champion Sandy Saddler In the fall. As Perez had been out of action tor three months, due to a glandu lar condition, since he stopped ex champ Willie Pep In two rounds, Feb. 28, his handlers were more than satisfied. Lulu breezed home as a 3-1 fa vorite should, 10-0 on the card of rcleree Barney Felix, 9-1 from Judge Amcrico Schiavone and 8-2 from Judge Harold Barnes. He floored Mars with a solid right in the fifth round, staggered him In the first, third, eighth and tenth. jessed by Schnozzola Lombard!. Too many balls were bouncing by Kell. too. So Junkman Richards gets a chance to repair another broken down star. He at least has the authentic hitter whom he , has been seeking. Something had to be done about the Red Sox infield, and In the Judgement of General Manager i-romn uus is the first sep. The Red Sox' princip.il head- acne now is that Billy Goodman's proper spot 1 first base, where Harry Agganis has more man made good with the long ball and all. A spot had to be made for C-cod-man, who now is the hope at third base. Versatile Billy Oie Kid. who also has led the league In batting, lacks the sure hands re quired at second base, where he could not satisfactorily make the double play. There is some ques tion about the irail-iookusr North Carolinian being a replica of Billy cox at third. Billy Consolo. the 20-year-old bonus baby who promised so much at second base throughout the training period, was too fre quently fooled at the plate. led Lepcio saved a sad situation somewhat by turning out to be a pleasant surprise at second base. where there is less concern about his hitting than there Is in connec tion with the shortstop. Milt Boiling. Unless Jackie Jensen, who went five for 55. picks up. Goodman's services may be required in right neia. Jensen was removed for a pinch-hltter in the pay-off game with the Yankees. When did you last see a clean up man yanked for a plnch-hlttcr? ticme to trunk of it. that's what the Bosox require as much as a couple of lnfleldcrs who can hit a lick. A good fourth - place hitter swinging behind Ted William should come close to breaking the runs-batted-in record. 2f By THU ASSOCIATE! PRESS NATIONAL LEAGUE W I, I'l-t.
