NEW YORK (NEA) Unlor
gettable was the last glimpse ol
Rev. Robert E. Richards in At
lantic City, soppmg wet from a
shower, halt dressed to the waist,
national decathlon trophy tucked
under one arm, running for an
automobile to be driven 62 miles
to the Philadelphia airport.
This alter pole vaulting a de

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

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

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. Conley

"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

hasn't even time to take a shower.

on Wednesday, jumped back on a

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

Rev. Bob Richards' ambitions are

He's a cinch to do both and on
