Bob Richards bad to be In Long Beach," Calif., to deliver a sermon the next morning, you see. Airplanes keep Richards In the track and field business, and the experience of rushing from At lantic City to Philadelphia Is pretty much of an ordinary ex perience for this remarkable all round athlete who is the greatest of the vaulters. One of the most exciting situa tions brought about by Richards' tight schedule occurred at the Na tional Amateur Athletic Union Championships In St. Louis. The vault started at 7 p.m., but there were so many good skyscrapers that Richards knew it was going to be a long session. "I had a plane reservation for 8 o'clock, but at that time there were 15 fellows 'above 14 feet, so I had to cancel the reservation and get another," recalls the Illinois alumnus. "The vault dragged out so long that X had to cancel two more. There was only one flight left that would get me into Chi cago and out for Los Angeles in time to preach. The time of de Tri-City Into By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Western International League pennant chase tightened , up Friday night as the Tri-City Braves came to life after three straight losses and Wenatchee pulled an 11-inning shocker. The Braves got back on the vic tory trail with a 7-4 victory over the Salem Senators, the same club which had beaten Tri-City three times running up to Friday night's game. Wenatchee, mired deep in last place, thumped league-leading Victoria, 8-7, The combination boosted the third-place Braves to within one halt a game of Victoria, Lewis ton, the second-place nine, had to settle for a split in a twin bill with Vancouver, taking the open er, 4-1, and losing the nightcap, 12-5. In the league's other action of the night, Edmonton trounced Yakima, 8-3, in the first half of a twin bi!l .but lost the afterpiece, 5-4. - , The, top pitching effort of the night was a two-hitter by Dick Derganc of Lewiston in the Broncs victory over Vancouver. His mates pounded two Capiiano pitchers for eight hits. Ed Garay's grand slam homer in the ninth inning of the second game for Lewiston was the top try in Lewiston's losing cause. Herm Lewis accounted for all of Yakima's runs in the first game against Edmonton with a three run homer in the fifth inning. Jack Schaening fashioned s six-hitter to get credit for Yakimas victory in the second game. John Albini was the big mas at the plate for the Bears, with a homer, a triple and a single in four trips. The Wenatchee Chiefs spotted Victoria a 4-0 lead after three in nings before they rose to the fore with five runs in the fourth. Sin gles in the fifth and sixth left the game tied at 7-all at the end of regulation play. Victory for the Chiefs came in Gene Conley Has Key To Stop Dodgers MILWAUKEE l How do you keep a club like Brooklyn from hitting that long ball? You just keep breaking oft the low curve and firing the fast one now and then to, keep 'em honest. That's the way Gene Conley turned the trick last night as he notched his third win of the year over the defending National League champions, a 6-1 decision which gave the Milwaukee Braves their third in a row over the Mumping champs. Cincinnati's Bud Podbielan is the only other pitcher with three, triumphs over Brooklyn this season. The Dodgers got only five hits off the 6 loot 8 inch rookie, the major league's tallest player, and hit only one other ball to the out field which leftfielder Hank Aarn caught easily in the fifth.

When the others finally dropped out and Richards was the only one left at 15 feet, it was 11:30. "I had a half-hour and It was 20 minutes to the airport," he re collects.

Neil Sheridan, Don l'rles and Mel Stein all homered for the Tyees in the four-run third inning. Salem looked like It was off to win No. 4 over the Braves as the Oregon squad unloaded three runs in the top of the first inning. The Braves came back with three in their half of the first, however, and tucked the game away in the victory column with two more runs in the fifth. Two insurance tallies were added by the Braves in the sixth. Walt Clough took the victory in tossing a seven-hitter at the Senators.

"I missed the first one, thought I would go. but Larry Houston, my coach with the Los Angeles Athletic Club, had brought a taxi cab down to the track to wait for me. So I decided to try again and barely missed. I had 21 minutes left to make the plane. "I started to get in the cab, and then all of a sudden decided to take my last Jump. I breathed a prayer that the Lord would give me strength and took off. I cleared the bar by about six inches and jumped into the cab amidst the roar of the crowd. With everybody congratulating me and waving to the people in the stands, I rushed off to the air port. It was one of my happiest moments in track. "I changed clothes on the plane." So, you see. Richards frequently hasn't even time to take a shower. Reverend Bob flew to Buenos Aires on Monday for the Pan American Olympic Games, won the pole vault at 14 feet inches on Wednesday, jumped back on a plane on Thursday, made New York Saturday afternoon and that night vaulted 15 feet at Madison Square Garden. He preached ta Virginia the next morning after a trip of about 12.000 miles. Richards, 28, has track and field in his blood. He is to compete to an open meet in Pasadena, Calif., every Saturday for eight weeks. He will vault and speak at the Canadian National Exhibition the first week of September. He's going to Ceylon for a meet Sept. 10, after which he will appear to Burma, Thailand and Japan, re turning home in mid-October. Rev. Bob Richards' ambitions are to appear in one more Olympic Games and break Dutch Warmer dam's world vaulting record. He's a cinch to do both and on the fly.
