ORKCiON Heap By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 1 Ban Diego has ft on eight straight t sines snd has had other recent! win streaks of six and seven, bull manager Bob Bragan ol Hollywood still believes his Stars will be on top when the Pacllio Coast League season ends. ' Jerry Priddy. manager oti Seattle, likes San Diego, and with! reason. He noints out that hisj Rainiers ha-c put 10 games with! Hollywood .11,-a won only five of. 14 with San uicgo. Of course, Bragan points to the record of his team against San Diego. The Stars have won 12 ol 14 against the Padres. Nevertheless. Priddy says It's atrlctly between Hollj'wood and San Diego, and it is San Diego's pitch ing that Impresses him. "Lefly O'Doul has six starters, one about as good as the other, and they have been going the route, too. Hollywood is rugged, but Bragan is having to overwork his pitchers, and bis starters are relieving or at least warming up almost every night That may tell And look bow often Lino Donoso has been called on. I like San Diego, but of course, Oakland is good enough to beat 'em both, but not unless they cut each other up the rest of the season." Bragan admits he needs anoth er pitcher. The loss of Bob Hall, who was sold to Seattle by Branch Rickey of Pittsburgh, put the pres sure on the Stars' staff. But Bra gan says he believes the Pirates will send him a hurler who can fill the requirements. The PCL was idle Tuesday but will go at it again Wednesday night, with Seattle at Hollywood, Oakland at Portland, Los Angeles San Francisco.

We are indebted to Eugene F'lltgerald, sports edi tor of the Fargo (N.D.I Forum, for having made available this long forgotten page of track history. "At a celebration at Fl. Rice. Dakota Territory, about 34 miles south of Mnmlaii, on July 4, 18do, the Frontier Scout of July '8 that year had a report on the holiday festivities," Fitwierald writes. "Four companies of U.S. volun teers, Infantrymen who deserted Irom the Conledernte army, were stationed at Ft. Rice, along with a company ol the 8th Iowa Cavalry Col. C. A. R. Dlinon was the com manding oil leer. The first event on the holiday celebration following the review was a mile run, three limes around the fort. There were six entries for a prize of 85. 'The event was won by Cpl. W. H. Green of Co. D of the Con federate deserters in the time of 34 minutes, the Frontier Scout re ported. Pvt. W. M. Winfrey ol CO. C was second In 4 minutes. 'E. O. Adams, the editor of the Frontier Scout, in which the report was made, also was a Confeder ate deserter. Of course, someone Is going to say the timing wasn't accurate. But even allowing tor trie accuracy oi the timing, you'll admit that IS sec onds (under 4 minutes) would be a big margin of error for 235 sec onds. Even conceding that the tim ing might have been Inaccurate, there wasn't much wrong with the engineering of those days, and 13 inches was a foot. (The fort) was rectangular. 510 feet on Its north and south sides and 500 on the east and weat. Three times around that enclosure would be 6,060 feet, or 780 feet more than the regulation mile which Bannister snd Landy ran under 4 minutes. The best sprinters of our day would require more than 25 seconds to cover the 260 yards which Oreen and Winfrey ran after completing the mile. "Possibly the $5 first prise (which automatically made the runners professionals) la the rea son the accomplishment has never been given official recognition, be cause there was no shortage of spectators. "The Frontier Scout reported that the wives of officers and sol diers and visiting ladles watched the celebration from the parapet of the fort.
